about jobs

I was attending job interviews for 7 month before actually getting the job I wanted so I have plenty of experience, each interview got better each time. When asked about your strengths and weaknesses concentrate on your strengths, it is a chance to really sell yourself, but don't come across over confident. Plan it before you go in, pick out 4 or 5 of your strongest strengths ,you need to assess your actual strengths such as your education, skills that would be relevant to the job such as multi - tasking, problem solving, punctuality, flexibility, attendance and try and think of examples where you have used it. when you talk about your weaknesses don't worry because nobody is perfect. If you use a weakness tell the interviewer how you are dealing with it, for example - One of my weaknesses is talking in front of large groups of people but I am dealing with it as have joined a local club where we have discussions on various topics in large groups, this is building up my confidence in that weakness. Try and use minor weaknesses that most people can relate to such as public speaking. Don't pick any waknesses that will prevent you from getting the job for example I am nervous talking on the phone if your job would be to use the phone. Finally don't lie or make up things to sound good because most interviewers will know if you tell lies. Good luck, I hope this helps.

During job interviews, I've learned that you should always put your best foot forward. You could speak about a weakness or too but you should never dwell on it. Showcase your accomplishments and competencies. Back them up with your experiences whether in school or from a previous job. Another recommendation that I got from my friend was that you should not let the interviewer have the last thing to say. That's an indication that they find you lacking for the position.
