Resume and Interview Tips

Typical Job Interview Question
By:Lawrence Stoltz

No matter what anyone else will tell you, there are ways to answer specific questions during an interview, as well as things you should NOT say. If you are one of those people who fears the job interview process, you are not alone! For tips to putting your best foot forward during a job interview, read the article below!

I have a compiled a small list of a few examples of how to answer, and how NOT to answer the more typical, or generic questions. Many of these tend to be self-explanatory, but if you get lost, you may need to go grab either a strong cup of coffee because youve been staring at the computer screen for far too long or just go ahead and quit while youre ahead! (Im just joking there . . . you were supposed to laugh!)

Interviewer: So, how much cash register experience have you had? Correct answer: I used to work at my grandfathers restaurant, and we had to know how to check a person out after they had dined. Therefore, I feel Im proficient at such a task, although it may take me a few minutes to get used to it again. Incorrect answer: I used to have one to play with when I was a kid, and I also helped my mom out at out garage sale last summer, so, yeah, I think Im okay with it.

Interviewer: Do you think you are good with people? Correct answer: I feel I can handle a majority of the personalities I have run into. However, I do know that if I were to ever have an issue, I would never become disrespectful. I would rather find another to help assist me with an irate customer, and try to come to a decent and satisfactory conclusion. Incorrect answer: Well, most people like me, but there are always those few that get on my nerves. Id probably not be good for them to deal with me Ill just tell them like it is, and worry about their feelings later, you know?

Interviewer: Why do you feel you are the most qualified applicant for this position? Correct answer: I have majored in this field, and have always found this type of work very appealing to me. I have fun with what I do, and find that this seems to be a great place to add my own insight into this establishment. Incorrect answer: Im not sure if I am, truthfully. I think I could do a pretty darned good job at it, but you would have to be the one who ultimately decides if I am the best for this job or not.

So, when it comes to an interview, it is best to be professional, to say the least. Most interviewers have become interviewers because he or she tend to be the best judge of character. They tend to want a person who HAS character, not one who IS a character!
