how do i practice answering job interview questions?

To practice the questions you anticipate you have several options.

1) Use a large mirror

2) Set up your video camera and tape your answers. Watch your video and evaluate yourself and improve your weaknesses.

3) Get a friend to ask you questions and hear your answers. Get your friend's feedback on how you did and try to improve. Don't fall in the trap of thinking your friend's an idiot and you know better. They might have some good ideas.

As to anticipating questions beyond the "generic" ones you already feel you know, remember that the questions might have to do with the 1. the specifics of the job you're going for, what it encompasses and what skills are necessary to accomplish it and 2. What there is in your skill-set that matches the needs of the job and your personal characteristics that will allow you to bring that skill-set to bear on the job.

Good luck. Hope you get it. Come back to YAnswers and let us know!

added: Interesting. I was taking a nap and your question came to my mind. I thought about the dreaded idiotic (IMO) question: What is your greatest weakness? I think you should spend a little time coming up with an answer to the question. I used to try things like "I have a tendency to always want to do things perfectly," or "I can't give up on solving a difficult problem." or other strengths turned into weakness kind of thing.

I have had a lot of interviews in my life and don't recall whether any of the jobs I got included that question; only recall how I hate it. I did encounter it fairly often, though and do think you should prepare some answer you're happy with.

Also, you only asked about how to practice for the interview, but I want to stress how important what a couple others have mentioned is, "Know all you can learn about the company you are applying with." Again, good luck. (You sure have a lot of good answers, so you know a lot of people will be pulling for you.)

Google something like "Interview questions and answers" they will give you you a list. I had to practice like at least 50 questions till I am good to go.

These are the ones which are in common based my own experience:

1. Why do you want to work for us

2. how do you handle doing multiple jobs at once

3. How do you deal with stress

4. Give three keywords people would describe about u.

Get a friend to ask you interview questions. You can find a lot of typical interview questions on google.

G'Luck with the job!

Well, always make the answer positive, that is the key. For example, a weakness could be a strength, perfectionist is a great weakness to have. Also, keep your answers short, sweet and straight to the point, you appear more confident if you don't fiddle around.

Don't just concentrate on the questions, concentrate on things that you could say. Read up on the business, think of phrases that you could say that could make you look better, and always smile! Try and find out what your interviewer is like, and think on their wavelength, talk to them the way they do you, if they are in a cheery mood, make some comments.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Plan a couple out before. Like prospects for further training /advancement. The companies policy on educational course which are of benefit to the job are 2. You could ask what sort of person profile are they looking for. If they've already talked about these, pick a point and ask for further details. Hope this helps a bit.

my best advise is to go 2 the library and check out some books about interviews, finding a job,... if u cant find it ask the Liberian. also go 2 u local employment security commission, the have tons of pamphlets to prepare u! all 4 free! remember to always dress as if u are going to work there. don't under dress or overdress. remove any facial piercings...if u a male, have a clean cut shave, female, fix hair and apply makeup if u wear it. SELL YOURSELF TO THE EMPLOYER!
