(+) Yeah! (+)

Your weakness is that you worry about deadlines.
The reason that they should hire you is because of your commitment to customer service
Ask them where the computer server is located. If they don't have a server, ask where the telephone is

Ask them what are some qualities that they are looking for in their employees and ask them is there any room for career growth

---

I like to ask what the biggest thing they're looking to improve is.

---

Ask them if they have ever had to cover up the murder of a hooker for their employees.

---

be prepared to answer questions like:

How did you handle a challenge at work
How do you make decisions
Can you think of a time you made a mistake at work and what you did to make it right
How do you handle difficult customers
What interested you in this position
What are some reasons you think youre a good fit for this position

if youre looking at these and dont have an answer, make one up.

Ask them what date theyre looking to make a decision by
What opportunities there are for advancement
What does an average work day look like for this position

Answer questions using the STAR technique.

Situation: what was the situation
Task: what task did you have to do
Action: what action did you take
Result: what was the result

How do you feel when you work under pressure?

I believe I can be cool under pressure because I have a lot of experience in working under those conditions. At my last job, I had to handle a rush of customers by myself a couple times because we had some staffing issues so that was a big step. One specific time, I got through the entire lunch rush without help. Yeah it took a little longer than usual, but all the customers left happy and my manager gave my employee of the week because of it.

Also even if you have an answer prepped, take a second to breathe, think about the question, then answer. It shows that youre at least thinking of an answer and that you dont have answers sitting there.

Ask them if they stand with Donald Trump.

I usually just try and set the tone as a relaxed conversation with the other person. You answer best when you're relaxed. Being competent at the job is important of course but someone pleasant to be around is also important. Show off your personality a little bit, try to connect with the other person.

We get it, you dont get attention unless you gargle Trumps balls in your mouth. Now shut the fuck up while people give actual advice.

Same here but even worse. Been out for same amount of time but my last 2 jobs I already either had connections or was a straight up nepotism hire, so last proper interview was probably close to 20 years ago. When I am looking, I am just going to wing everything, read the situation and react.
