So i got a job interview in a couple of days...any tips?

Its for a bank teller position over the phone...basically call center at the bank.

All my job interviews before have been for summer jobs. Not anymore...

Supposedly its 45 minutes- an hour long too...how on earth is an interview supposed to be 45 minutes??

Don't stab the interviewer in the neck.

Shower within 48 hours of the interview.

Don't drool during the interview.

Don't eat taffy right before answering a question.

Three serious suggestions:

1. Wear a nice suit and a quiet tie.
2. Don't get upset at any personal questions.
3. Act like you'd have half a clue what to do if a masked man burst into the room with a shotgun.

Don't screw up...

Ask yourself "What can I bring to this job?" and answer it. Because I had a bank teller interview (though my class schedule disqualified me for the position) and that was one of the questions.

Some popular ones that I've heard before:

What are 3 of your strengths?
What are 3 of your weaknesses?
What can you bring to this job?
Why do you want to work here?

1. Lots of high fives. It shows you are a team player.

2. Bring a bottle of booze for the interviewer. This shows you are genuine and sincere.

3. Regardless of the interviewers sex grab their butt. If they are the opposite sex this shows you know how to have fun. If they are the same sex it shows you don't judge.

4. Smack gum loudly. This shows how much you value good dental hygeine, a trait all employers look for.

5. Repeat all questions back to the interviewer in an accusatory tone. This shows that you have good listening skills.

6. Take cell phone calls during your interview. This shows you can multiask.

7. Cut the interviewer off repeatedly. This shows that you are aggresive.

8. Pick you butt and ask the interviewer to 'name that cheese'. This shows you can think out side the box.

1. Always make good eye contact

2. Project confidence (don't be headstrong or think you're better)

3. Stay calm and answer the questions cool, and collective. ;)

Be aggressive and demanding. Let it out that you're aware of where your interviewer lives, that way he might get a little freaked out and be hesistant to say 'no' to you.HillyBilly

shake his/hers hand

dont try too hard

be yourself

dress smart

Ive only interviewed for summer jobs before. Never for a position that could turn into a full-time job. My interviews have only lasted 10 minutes, so im not used to a long interview..just made me nervous.

BTW, thanks for the advice to everyone. It's really helpful. I certainly appreciate it.

My interviews are quite different since I'm not dead set on getting the job I apply for. I tend to interview the company more than they interview me, and I think it ends up helping me get the job I want. Not only do you avoid bad companies, but you also stand out in the interview since few interviewees ask any questions.

Also stay away from companies that ask generic questions, and don't do any sort of training. They tend to have employees that are completely incompetent.

Make sure you dress nice and check your breath before the interview starts. soulless4now

Or don't brush your teeth for days and lean up really close and say "Hhhhhhiiii!"

You're guaranteed to get the job! :D

If its a he and he asks where you see your self in 10 years dont say with his wife.
