tips for interviews in general are welcome as well.
Focus on the results you’ve had from previous business experience. If you worked a job that was results driven, be prepared to share specific performance numbers. If you don’t have performance numbers, look back for something to share about time/s you took initiative and made something happen.
In interviews in general, the most important thing is to show, through past performance, you ability to excel and drive business. This is particularly important in a position that requires you to sell products/features/benefits to the client.
I am 28 years of now and have a 2 year gap in between . Want to change from bpo to software and need to know how to prepare for interviews. I was a java programmer and also have 2 sun certificates . But the certificates are a year old now and i have forgotten most of the theory part need to know what new should i study to end up with a decent job in software. Need to earn 2anum at least…..
Hi,
That’s good to hear. Let me clear you one thing. Software always need practical knowledge rather than theoretical. So, start from today to practise Java (Core and advance) with mini to major programs. You yourself rectify the errors when you get during compilation, execution.
Generally, Interviewer will ask you run time errors and few definitions and differences between two similar packages, methods, etc.,
Here, I’m providing you some weblinks where you can find questions and answers regarding core and advance java. If you want to have more you just search google engine.

i have to do an interview for an article and i am interviewing someone who won state last weekend for cross country. what is a list of some good quetions (ie. what did you do to prepare for state) to ask for a good article?
What do you think about while you are in a race?
What do you think makes you a better runner than others?
How was the condition of the course?
What’s your favorite course?
This one sounds weird, but trust me it happens. Do you urinate while you run? Many female and some male runners actually have to expell a small amount of urine while they run.
Have you ever thrown up after a race?
I need interviewing tips.. I want this job more than anything.. How can I assure that I am the right person for the job?
1) Make sure you have done the necessary background search on the job. What do you need to do?
Also make sure you have the answers to: "why do you want this job?" "why do you think you are the perfect candidate for the position"
2) Dress sharp and at least formally to some degree.
3) Know why you think you are the best person. Have an answer ready. There is a chance they can ask it directly.
4) Be polite, honest and confident. Avoid any sarcasm or too forward comments.
5) Mirror the interviewer. If they seem friendly, you return the friendliness. If they are formal, be formal.
I have this completely random project to do for my communications class and I need to interview my university’s yearbook editor. Unfortunately my mind is drawing a blank right now, and I can’t think of a single question to ask her. So…..ideas?
I’ve always found interviews somewhat challenging b/c I never know what questions to ask, haha. I think it’s b/c I hold myself to a high quality and I don’t want to ask generic questions, like many being suggested here, that will only lead to generic answers.
One thing that I think helps is to do your research in advance. Now, for a class project you probably don’t have a lot of time to dive in deep, but the more general stuff you know going in, the more specific, detailed, interesting information. Things you should know going in that would be easy to find: how close to graduation he/she is, and if his/her major relates to journalism and publication design. One year the GM of our student radio station was an art major. Go figure.
Open ended questions are always a must. But also avoid questions that will precipitate easy answers. A few good examples would be:
–Explain to me the process involved in selecting students to profile?
–How much does the University’s administration contribute to the content seen in the yearbook?
–Which section, story, or page of this year’s yearbook is your personal favorite?
–What is it about this year’s edition that makes it better/more unique than previous years?
–With print converging with audio and video multimedia, do you see the yearbook transforming into a more interactive and electronic publication? (i.e. on CD, DVD, online)
For me, a big key to interviewing is follow up questions. It’s all about listening. You’re not developing a questionnaire or a survey, you’re having a conversation to glean information. Even for a lengthy feature, I will prepare just five questions (sometimes six) to ask. Throughout the interview I am always looking for avenues to probe deeper into. Often times, almost my entire story and all of my quotes will come from a line of questioning deriving from just one of my original questions. A lot of it depends on how much the interviewee is willing to talk. But in a way that’s really up to you. You got to establish a comfort level and get this person talking on something that really have a lot to say about. Given that being editor for the yearbook is a demanding job, he/she will most likely have plenty to say about the topic. If nerves seem to be getting in the way, you might have to ask some of those generic questions, just to loosen things up.
Obviously, you don’t have to use the questions I threw out there. I didn’t even really think too hard to get those. But when crafting good questions, think about things about the yearbook that you, personally, would like to know about or find interesting. Chances are if you gather info that rivets you, your readers will feel the same way. Even if it’s really just your prof, you want to try and appeal to your target audience at all times. In this case, probably act as if it’s an article in the student newspaper, since nobody else would really care about yearbook production. But, hey, if you stumble into an engrossing story, maybe the prof will submit it to the student newspaper and you’ll get a byline for nostalgia sake.
I’m basically trying to get some interview tips if any one have ever interview there please help me
It doesn’t who the job is with, most interviews are the same so there are some basics you MUST follow.
1. be smartly and cleanly dressed
2. speak clearly and more slowly if you are nervous
3. do some homework on the business just in case they ask you what you know about it and why you want to work there
4. take a clean folder with any extra documents (or originals) that you might be asked to show
5. try to look confident, keep your head up and keep good posture
6. remember, if you look miserable, grubby or disorganised and know nothing about the business, ask yourself why they would want you?
It’s you business how you conduct yourself but it’s their business if you work for them. Good luck
I am writing an article on indoor tanning but cannot come up with any good open-ended questions. Like why do you tan even though you know the risks of skin cancer? Things like that… anything.
Try reading some articles on tanning. Check magazines targeted to young women. Marie Claire, Teen Vogue, etc. See what questions they seem to be asking.
Ask them :
How often do you tan?
Why did you start?
Do you believe people can be addicted to tanning?
Do you think you are addicted to tanning?
Do think theres a point where you can be "too tan" ?
Do all of your friends tan? Do any of them tan?
Is that why you started tanning?
Do you fear health problems?
Are you aware of the health problems?
Do you feel the downsides out weigh the positive results of tanning? (yes there are quite a few positives of indoor tanning)
Do you stop using tanning beds during the summer?
Would you ever stop?
Do you ever spray tan(i.e Mystic)?
Would you ever consider switching to spray tanning?
Are you concerned about wrinkles?
Does your family approve of your tannning habits?
How old were you when you started tanning?
Do you spend all your money on tanning and tanning products, like lotions?
Be sure to read up on tanning. Both negative and positive media.
Here are a few good sites:
