I have my first job interview volgende week. Any tips? Also, the interview is at noon and I have class before that so it's not very practical to dress up. So, do u think it would be ok to wear a nice sweater & black jeans with black boots?

I'm applying to be a Speaker's lab mentor. A speaker's lab position is part-time employment at my school (college) for students. If I get the job, I will be assisting students with speech delivery, helping them overcome anxiety & stage fright, helping strengthen speech content, helping with PowerPoint presentations, etc.

I've been to dozens of job interviews and what above said, dress to impress. First impressions are paramount.

If you're worried choose a suit, get it cleaned, laundered and then hang it up on a jas hanger, wrapped in a large plastic bag so it doesn't crease and keep it in your locker. That way u can change in less then 3 minuten and be on your way. Make sure your shoes are shiny and brush your hair. If u have no time to clean your teeth, suck mints.

Prepare your antwoorden before hand, like above said. Imagain what vragen they will ask u and write down your answers. Practise in a mirror, with friends, your parents, your tutors until u can rely on eye contact to get u through.
u CV should include any other jobs u have done, references from your employers, anything u do out of school time u find interesting, what grades u have/grades u are predicted.
If u haven't had a job yet, ask your tutors if they will write a short note on how they find u in class.
And the best tip i was ever given. If u do not understand a vraag the employer asks, of wish for meer time to think about your answer say ' could u please repeat the question.'

Just remain calm and be as honest but positive as u can.

For example,i told my current employer though i had expereince in waitressing it was not as high class as the establishment they were in, and that instead of telling me what to do (like how to carry 7 plates instead of 3) they would have to toon me as i was a visiual learner. That will give your employer the confidence that u know what u need to learn.

I was employed in September 2010, we are now in Janurary 2011, and i am already an under-manager. To say i started as a waitress, that isn't so bad.
But u must toon u can work hard and take things in.
