If it's interview questions, especially the IT, engineering and accounting people just go to corpers forum.com. I have seen a couple of links to very good unlimited interview questions there. Goodluck!

kaytye, This is more than knowing the questions. It is about preparing for the interviews and knowing how to tackle all the questions that will be asked during the interview session. Thanks for the Corpers forum link, didn't know anything of such exists |

Dress appropriately. This one may seem basic, but it's easier said than done. Before you start your rounds of interviews, be sure to have a comfortable, clean, fairly conservative outfit. Don't neglect such crucial details as dark socks for guys or stockings without rips for women. Invest in a nice folder or portfolio in which to stash your resumes - otherwise you'll end up hurriedly smoothing them out after extracting them from the bottom of your backpack.
Be prepared to ask questions. Interviewers expect you to come in with a working knowledge of the company, as well as with a list of questions. When you've really done your homework, though, you may not be able to think of any questions because you already have the company's history, financial statistics, and the CEO's mother's maiden name memorized. If this happens, make up some questions ahead of time to ask during the interview. Also, and this is really crucial, know what the job is that you're applying for before you go into the interview. If you need a description of it, call the company's personnel department and ask to be sent information. If you don't want the personnel department to know it's you calling, have a friend do it.
Memorize your resume. Imagine the embarrassment if your interviewer asks you to elaborate on the summer you spent pearl diving off the coast of Tanzania, and you can't even remember where Tanzania is. For every item on your resume, try to have a paragraph's worth of information, in addition to what is already listed. Even better, try to think of a way in which each item illustrates one of your particular strengths or weaknesses. If you're too nervous to remember everything, it's all right to hold a copy of your resume in your hand to jog your memory. But don't forget to continue making eye contact with your interviewer.
Accentuate the positive. But don't brag too much. The hardest thing about an interview is making yourself sound like the kind of person anyone would want to hire without coming off like an arrogant jerk. At the same time, don't be self depreciating to the point of evaporation. It's important to be able to speak about yourself as objectively as possible.
Practice. This is the most important point. The day before your interview (or even earlier) put on your outfit, sit yourself down in an uncomfortable chair, and have a friend grill you with questions. Or, better yet, have a career counselor conduct a practice interview with you. Many career centers will even videotape your practice interview, so you can see your own strengths and weaknesses (and dandruff).
Relax. By the time interview day rolls around, you should be set. Get a good night's sleep, eat well and take a relaxing walk beforehand. And remember, it's just one job. If you don't get it, it's not the end of the world - it just means that fate has an even better opportunity for you waiting around the corner.

This is not related to Job Interviews, I just felt like posting it because I don't want to start a new thread for now. There are so many people that are downcast all because they couldn't secure an employment. Well maybe what we all need at this time is Internal Motivation. We need to motivate ourselves to go out and get that job this month or even this year. Ain't you tired of sitting at home? Visit the link below to read an article I shared with my friends long ago: Happy reading my people and just know that you are not a finished product yet. There is still hope this month Out of here for now |

The post mentions people being unemployable.
The key here is why are most people unemployable. While preparing for an interview might get your foot in the door, you will not keep your job if you don't have some basic work skills.
What most employers have found is that a lot of our graduates are leaving school without any skills applicable to the workplace.
Imagine hiring a PA that can't construct a letter on your behalf.
If you are still in the job market, you need to look at getting skills that are useful in the workplace. The ability to communicate in writing, the ability to use a computer for everyday tasks and general business etiquette.
Some of these skills can be developed at no cost. Check free online courses. While some may need you to invest a little money, but beware of the myriad of computer schools that are nothing but glorified typing schools. A useful computer course should teach you things like using Outlook tools to manage tasks and appointments, using lists in Excel to manage data, mailmerge using Word, you get the picture.
Try to spend some time brushing up your skills as well as preparing for the interview and you're sure to get and keep a job.

Great one purplepal. Thanks for analysing the reason people don't get employed.
I think you have mentioned the main word: Skills.
People need to develop the right skills in order to get the needed job. When employers see
this trait in anyone, it makes it difficult not to employ such a person.
All the best

Here is a theory I read a while ago and I don't know if it will work for someone going for an interview. How will I know unless someone tries it out. So if you are going for an interview, read this and apply it and let us know the result How To Make Yourself Three Times More Likely to Get Hired Research done by the executive search industry has shown that the first person interviewed gets the job only 17.6 percent of the time. But the last person interviewed is hired almost 56 percent of the time, or more than three times more frequently. The reason: As in most human endeavors, people are wary of accepting the first choice offered. Therefore, do what you can to position yourself among the last candidates interviewed, and definitely not among the first. Other reasons include corporate inertia. It’s often customary to move at a glacial pace. The sense of urgency may not exist at the beginning of a search. Continue below to read the full article: Waiting for the testimonies here. Best of luck. |
