Academic Job Interview Questions Resource
Practice Your Responses
It is best, if you are prone to nervousness, to practice giving your responses to the questions that may be asked of you. (A list of the most common questions will appear later on in the manual) You should practice your wording and the tone of voice that you plan to use; Try keeping your responses as brief as possible, but with as much detail as you can.
When you are trying to work out the proper responses to the interviewers questions, you will also want to practice the art of getting your nerves under control as well as ridding yourself of any other odd habits while talking; like expressing yourself with your hands.
Practice answering your interview questions with a friend. Get his or her opinion about your delivery and gestures. Perhaps your friend will have some nice insights for you to use during the real interview.
Again, dress according to the type of job that you are applying for. You can never over prepare for an interview. The fact that you can score an interview at all shows that you already have the right stuff for the job. Remember, say something positive. If what you are hearing something that doesnt sound good to you, dont frown and look disgruntled, just keep a slight smile on your face until it is time for you to say something. Its a nice way to get the goods on upcoming promotions etc. |
