Job Interview!!!!

[(Anonymous)]

I have a job interview tomorrow (on the phone) and I am super nervous. It's been so long since I've done an interview but I remember hating them.

In honor, tell me about your own experiences. Weird questions, common questions, how it all went right, how it all went wrong, what you wish you'd known or what advice you'd give - anything you like.

My last interview, we met at a cafe and I was early so I grabbed a bottle of juice without really looking at it. It had guava in it and my lips puffed up like a scary Angelina Jolie just in time for the person interviewing me to turn up.

I did get that job though.

For one interview I had a cold. I brought cough drops but ran out before the process was over so I was hacking when I met the super senior boss. Pretty sure I blew it because of that.

:( Aww no.

Yeah it is awkward when you're in a situation where you have to shake hands or something and you're contagious.
Coughing fits can't really be helped. You can try to hold them in, but I don't think turning purple is a good look either.

I've never been passed over for any position I interviewed for.

Most of the time, you can pretty much prepare for any interview by looking up information on the institution to which you are applying. Come with a list of your own questions. Make sure you know exactly what the position you're applying for entails.

Doing the homework will go a long way toward being prepared, and never be afraid to sound too confident in your past experience. You can always afford to admit you have things to learn about any new job, but never admit to weakness in your past experiences.

My advice:
- Research the company and review the position in detail before the interview (i.e. know exactly how to answer both "why this company" and "why this position")
- Review your own resume and take a few minutes to walk through your experience as you would describe it to someone else (this is often the first question, especially in a recruiting interview: "can you walk me through your resume?")
- Have your resume in front of you, if it's a phone interview-- it may prompt you to remember details or projects you've done
- Review how you'd answer some standard interview questions-- "tell me about a challenge at work and how you overcame it"; "can you talk about a time you had to manage multiple projects simultaneously", etc.
- If they ask about salary in a recruiting/first round interview, feel free to deflect
- Have a few questions about the company and work environment on hand to ask at the end

Good luck! Don't be too nervous. Go in knowing you're qualified for the job, take a breath before you answer each question, and you'll do fine.

My current boss says interviewing for minimum wage is completely different from interviewing for something big. For a higher-paying job, you want to sound prepared, but for this work, he cares more if you can think a question through and answer it honestly. If someone comes prepared for typical interview questions, he changes the script to see if they can react to something unexpected.

Also, he interviewed eight people, and I was the only one he hired. I was also the only one who asked any questions about the job, and apparently that made a good impression on them.

My last one was terrible, the guy asked no real interview questions and kept telling me to smile more even though was purposefully smiling the whole time. Then he asked me if I was a happy person, and I have major depression, so I had to bold faced lie. He was also really creepy and I was uncomfortable. I didn't end up taking the job even though I was offered it (not just for that reason but yeah.)

I'm sure yours will go better anon. Best of luck!
