A job interview is stressful. The person who has not made many changes that applies to the question (or if they want to be), and the person who has done a lot of changes have no idea what that means either, or not going to make so many changes!

Preparing for the interview de-stresses the situation considerably. However, 78% of all candidates - regardless of the level at which you are interviewing - improvise! And often cause themselves to be eliminated in the process.

Like much of the interview, seemingly innocent questions can trip over. Do you think they are responding in a way that puts you in the best light, but you'd be surprised at how many people completely miss the boat. Just wait for an interview is a positive result is not enough. That's basically lose their ability to drive the percentage of a positive result.

For example, in response to the question: "Why do you want to work here?" Some people say things like:

"I've worked in this industry for 15 years and has been very successful. I feel I can make a difference in your organization. I have a proven record of leadership. I read in the newspaper that his company is having some problems, and my experience as Director of XXXXX, which can help to straighten out. "

The answer may sound good and seems to be enough, but on a scale of 1-10, took about 4!

Why? The research shows no response, without thinking, regardless. It sounds stock and could be sufficient for any number of companies. Overall, unimpressive.

In my experience as a recruiter, I realized that while mid-level management tends to UNDERanswer the issue, senior management often OVERanswer the issue. A group does not provide enough information due to lack of experience limited. The other group has been around, made their way up the ladder in more than one company, and its attempt to sound thoughtful, intelligent and wise, end up saying very little at all.

Let's take a closer look.

Why would you want to work here?
Here is where you get to display their research. Tell the interviewer what you learned about the company, and why it is appealing to you. Details are the key here.

Relate your experience concrete examples of what you have learned about the company, its approach and its market. Look at your personality and what motivates them and how it relates to all the details I learned from the ad, your recruiter, your friend who referred you, or where you learned of this opportunity.

For example, maybe your ad said it aims to establish a marketing department from scratch. If you thrive on growth, challenges, making things happen - there is your answer - along with examples of how they have grown, established, or market research is done in a parallel situation.

And you might ask, "What happens if there is a high profile? What if it's on the small side and local?" Right. Not all companies is the size of General Electric or even a regional public power is available at Dun & Bradstreet.

But most librarians are more than willing to help you find any information that may be present in any research studies. Local newspapers may have made history in the company, and the library would have them. And these days, most businesses have a web site.

Share what you can do and why you think you can make a contribution and benefit the company. This question is about how you can benefit the company, how the company can benefit.

Tell me about yourself
Some interviews are lost right on this point. This is not an invitation to continue until the fullness of everything that has happened since they were five years or since your first job out of college. Nor is the time to shrug and give a sudden, one-sentence response.

Some people, especially those who have not prepared and have a tendency to talk when they get nervous, they are walking. Prepare a good little 2 - 3 minutes oral bio about his career, qualifications, and why they are interested. Know what you are going to say beforehand.

SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER
In recruiting we said, "" A "candidates for companies" A "," B "candidates for the companies 'B' and 'C' candidates for Business" C "," and a candidate 'B' is not just someone that talent and experience is just so-so, it is also an 'A' candidate whose poor interviewing skills it a 'B'

Knowing who you are, what you want, you have to offer and what we - and have everything at the tip of the tongue - can make or break a job offer - not only for the perfect job, but sometimes, even to find any job.

Being able to sell yourself and your skills, how you can benefit a potential company and then be able to close the deal need to take the time to research and learn from the company. This means knowing yourself well enough that you can apply aspects of their capabilities to the individual facts and details of the individual company - and can do so without problems, without groping for the words or simply flying.

And last but not least, the words of Peter Handal of Dale Carnegie Training, echoed the importance of interview preparation, including what draws most people as fools - RPGs. But as he said, "has only one chance to make a good impression," and if not take it seriously enough to study and prepare thoroughly, someone else will, and that is the person who will do the job!

Do your homework before the interview ALL! No chance to make a good second impression!
