I have a job interview...HELP

HI.

I am going to a job interview on Monday and again on Tuesday. I went on one last week and realized just how out of practice I am at this.

Any tips? I am interviewing at a school for an aide position.

When asked the question,,,tell me about yourself where would you start?


Thanks for any help you can offer.

They want to hear things like: I am flexible, I am dependable, I am a team player.....etc....
Not things like: I am married, I have children, I go to school, etc..... (which is a mistake many people make)

They want to hear things about you that will make them believe you will be an asset to them - not things about your personal life

Hope this helps

Good luck on your interviews

I would also point out positive experiences in your last position, as well as participation in the community, church, PTA, etc.

Congratulations on getting the interview!

The other posters have given you great tips. Mine is, if you are asked questions requiring more than a yes or no answer, do not give a dissertation, do not ramble, do not talk non stop. Take a breath to compose the points in your mind, present them and stop! While you need to "sell" yourself, do not oversell yourself, find a nice balance.

Thanks for all the advice. It seemed so much easier when I was fresh out of school.
I have been on their school websites to learn what I can about the school district in general.
