Re: Job interview tips
When asked about strengths and weaknesses people try and make weaknesses into a strength "i'm too hard working" etc
Is this a good tip? i imagine i'd cringe at it if i was an interviewer. Would it not be best to say look these are my weaknesses, i'll work on them etc. Surely they would appreciate the honesty? -
Re: Job interview tipsYou really should've found out when they would contact you by during the interview but failing that I'd give them a week.(Original post by isawsparks89)
Excellent advice
One question, how long should you wait to get in touch after interview if you've not heard anything, without seeming pushy? -
Re: Job interview tips
What do people think about taking my CV in on my tablet instead of a hard copy? I'm perfectly fine with handing over my tablet to them and it also gives me the opportunity to say I brought it to write things down if need be. It's an IT Support role after all so I could say that any notes I make get synced directly to my computer which is why I wanted to do it this way.
Got my interview tomorrow, these tips are great, thanks! I'm just going to relax and see what happens, any questions they ask are bound to be about what I can do in relation to the equipment they have and, past experiences of course. I'll think about some questions to ask, research the company but that's about it.
