when they ask where do you see yourself in 5 years don't say

"doing your wife"
or "doing your...Son"

Always have a couple questions ready for them.

When they ask you a question it's ok to pause, take a second, and think about your answer before opening your yapper. As others have said, keep it simple and to the point.

Have good posture and eye contact.

Have answers in mind for the typical interview questions
"How would your friends/people/coworkers describe you"
"What's a project you're proud of - what went right/wrong"
"Talk about a situation in which you had to be a leader"
"What makes you a good fit for the position/company"
"What are your strengths/weaknesses"

You should be able to answer these questions without rambling.

Make sure to eat an entire can of baked beans three hours before the scheduled start time. It's an MBA internship program, which means you clearly don't know anything, aren't expected to actually learn anything (except synergize natural marketing magnetisms and other such bullshit), and your interviewer doesn't know anything either.
 
Don't ask me, I've failed my past 2 interviews. Used to be good at it, now I suck at it... I guess that's what experience gets you? :-X

wear and suit and tie and black shoes, no bowties and no loud color shirts. shave, comb your hair nicely, no cologne. get plenty of sleep tonight, get there early and relax. don't eat any spicy foods tonight, you don't want to be farting during the interview.

bring at least 5 resumes, references and don't babble on.. keep your answers short and to the point.

when i used to interview people, i could eliminate the losers in 30-seconds.

most important when the interviewer says, do you have any questions for me, bring up something the positive the company did recently and expand on that, make them feel like you are a team player.

don't mention money unless they do.

Excellent list. :thumbsup:
 
🙁 sorry! It's tough these days. My sister in law applied for hundreds of jobs over the past year, got a few interviews, and finally got an offer just a couple weeks ago. She started this week. Keep trying!
 
If I'm applying to a different department in the same company, would I just use the same cover letter with minimal changes or write a different one? The positions will be still be the same: Technical Writer.

WORST ADVICE EVER


There's no way you would hire people who acted the way they really are. Staring at the tits, making sexually suggestive comments, telling racist jokes, sharing stories about retarded kids, bitch about the government, etc.
