WISDOM WEDNESDAY - MY INTERVIEW TIPS THAT WORKED !! AUG 14,2013,,
   Good Morning Everyone , first off its my Birthday.. hoo ray!! , 
   Now.. to my Interview tips that worked. I know you see and read about tips from scholars , educators , etc.. But do they really work,, Or are they classroom ideals.. In my personal experience I rather learn something from someone that did it and has proof.. Well here's my proof I recently applied and was offered a great position with a reputable defense contractor l known around the world.. Northrop Grumman gave me a opportunity to be a part of this team and I plan to give it my best!! Now my tips that worked..
 1) Don't be late ! 
2) Wear a Long sleeved shirt with tie.. One watch , one wedding ring.. nothing flashy !!
3) Don't wear cologne , or anything that will be distracting !!!
4) Firm hand shake and Smile early and during and often and at the end.. 
5) Be humble and look interviewers in the eyes. !!
6) Don't BS. and don't make up stories, and don't be afraid to have them ask the question again..
7) Be thoughtful , concise and consistent. They asked me the same questions but phrased differently- My take they wanted to see if your consistent or telling the truth. 
8) Eat before the interview, even if its not too much,, you don't want a growling stomach,, 
9) Turn off phones , pagers or any other devices that will throw you and the interviewer off.. Best best. Leave it in the car... The calls or texts can wait until afterwards.. 
10) Bring copies of resume and references and have questions listed , they don't mind you looking at it,, even though I didn't,, I reviewed it before interview.
11) Speak clearly and don't mumble. and be yourself. Relax.. They are trying to find out if they can get along with you.. Makes sense,, Sure he might have the qualifications , but if I cant get along with him.. Why bother? This is your chance to sell yourself and get along.. Take advantage..
12) Ask questions about Company, and what the position is all about.. Ask about duties and explain you can do those and always think Team work and resolving conflicts.. 
13) Expect questions about position , like forms, and what and how to do certain taskings of the job.. Be precise , clear and correct. don't guess. Think before you answer.. They want to know if you now what to do and whether you know how to speak clearly and understand questions they are asking. 
14) Sell yourself. You have to have a Mission statement about yourself and the company.. Understand both and incorporate both in your answers.. 
15) Lastly, research the Company and its latest news worthy accomplishments and show alot of interest in the Company and always smile and think this is my dream job .. Be courteous , friendly and smile. It will create a great interview experience. 
  These are tips that worked. I answered all their questions and scenarios and I smiled early , during and at the end.. I was courteous and I was thankful for the opportunity and asked when can I hear form them regarding the decision.. and Smile and firm hand shake.. It worked and it should for all of you applying or just attending job fairs.. Network, network,, and don't burn bridges.. Every contact , every friend is a potential employer , co worker or tipster.. and Smile .. and I hope the tips help you or just remind you , when you did your job interview.. Nothing in life is easy and the interview process even for me was nerve racking and painful.. But if you come prepared and you fit the qualifications, than the process is nothing more than an opportunity to introduce yourself and get liked by your employer , Boss.. Thank you and go out and have a great day and remember.. Every day is day to rejoice and love.. Take each day as a chance to learn and enjoy life and each other.. Lets Kill people with Kindness , rather than killing each other.. Make a difference .. because we all deserve the best in life!!
