I applied for a part time job online two weeks ago and didn't hear anything. I got an email today asking if I was still interested. I replied yes. Later, they called me to come for interview on Tuesday. I'm a little nervous, but hope I get the job. I'm nervous because I've never gotten a job through interviewing. All my interviews ended with me not getting a job. All the jobs I've worked ended with me getting the job because they needed someone ASAP.

Hi smartie Don't be nervous. It means that they have gone thru their apps or resumes and have chosen you to be a possible employee. Just go in with your head held high and give them the attitude that you are the one that they want. Oh yes one more thing. Always smile. [rosepedal64]

Don't let interviews intimidate you. Just be yourself and be confident. Employers like to see that you know what you're talking about. Also, be enthusiastic about the position and state why you would be good for the job. When you answer questions, use examples from previous experiences you've had sot aht they can see you've had experience with that type of problem or situation. Before you go, go over your resume and look up some questions that are typically asked at interviews. The more prepared you are, the better you will feel. Best of luck! [Torrs13]
Hello! To be goon in an interview: 1. Dress smart, don't go in jeans. (First impression!) 2. Talk loud and clear so the interviewer can clearly understand you...(you can practice near mirror). 3. Try to be confident! (Every employee will like confident people! If you are unsure, fake it) 4. Try to look for some more information about the company that you want to join! Look in internet, in Google! (You could have a question: what do you know about our company or why do you want to work for us...so a little bit research will be useful) 5. Be positive!!! (No one like pessimists!!!) 6. Be polite. 7. Try to avoid looking too much around when talking, as well looking too much in interviewer eyes is not good either, nor looking above interviewer, avoid using too much 'I don't know or maybe!!!' 8. And a little smile will help!!! Good luck!!! [missweety]

Hi! At least you HAVE an interview! I haven't had that many this year and it's a bit depressing, if I am being honest. Good luck with it! A word of advice. I am convinced that I haven't got jobs in the past because I didn't ask enough questions at the end of the interview(s). If you do this I am sure you will have a better chance of being successful, I'm sure. [Janey1966]
Don't worry, many people applies to jobs through internet. I've done it many times, sometimes with good results, many times with bad results. When you go to the interview breath deeply, do your best and make them see that you're the person they need [madteaparty]
That happens to the best of us; being nervous AND not getting the jobs. Take what time you have to prepare for the interview. Get your attire together ahead of time and set it to the side, cleaned and pressed. Read up about the position and the company. Get to know it a little better than before. Be prepared for ridiculous questions... some places will ask you incredibly dense questions like: if you were an animal, which would you be... or if you were a color... etc... Sometimes they throw these at you, but mostly they do not. (Yes, I've gotten more than my fair share of these questions I believe). Prepare a list of questions and answers. You can search online and find questions that companies could possibly ask you so that you can prepare a thorough answer. You can also find questions that you may wish to ASK the company. People like to know that you are interested in things related to the company such as: what is the interviewer's role outside of interviewing you... more specifics about the position as stated in the advertisement... and even those responsibilities NOT stated. Good luck. [joye68]

hi,smartie,don't be nervous,confident with yourself,you will be success.most of jobs need have an interview nowadays,it's not a big deal.don't take care about it. [doreencoco]
I also suck at interviews, it's the nerves I tell you! You should practice being interviewed with one of your friends or family members, or in front of a mirror. Practice going over the criteria of questions they usually ask. Try and look presentable and be friendly, smile lots! And make sure you make yourself look very available, a person that can come in anytime is very attractive to employers. Just remember there people too, and they were probably also nervous at their job interviews. Being prepared though is one of the best ways of doing good at a interview. Just remember they called you because their interested in you, so sell yourself good :) [snafushe]
All the Best for the Job.I am pretty much sure that you will get the Job.They have called you because you are one of the people who are fit to do their job and you have to just show to them that you can do the Job better than anyone who they will hire if its not you.Good Luck. [rleankus]
It's very hard to get a job now...Good luck [ChenYun1985]

Hi Smartie, if you have not had any success gaining a job from an interview before, my advice to you is to do some work on interviews. Maybe do a search on the net to find out about interviews. How you present and prepare for an interview is very important to landing that job. Do research on the company you are applying with and find out about them, how they work and there policies. Go into the interview positive and ask any questions, you may have. This always show that you are really interested in that company. You should be able to find something on the net to help you know how to act and present in the interview. Good luck and i hope you will let us all know here on mylot how the interveiw goes. [suegt31]
Good luck to you hope it goes well.. [suzzy3]
