Interviews

1. What are some good questions to ask?
Questions will probably come naturally to you about the specific employer and the job position, but here are a few questions to get you started:
-What type of person are you seeking for this position?
-Who is the manager I would be working for and what is their management style?
-What would a typical working day be in this position?
-How would you describe your company culture?
-What is the next step for consideration?

2. What are some quick relaxation tips?
Get to the interview early and sit down. Take three big deep breaths and take a sip of water if it is available to you. If there is a picture nearby of your favorite color or of a place that is calming to you, focus on it. You can also try hunching your shoulders up to your ears and then bring them down to relax your muscles more.

3. What kinds of questions will I be asked?
You will be asked questions regarding your work experience and your work eithic. Some sample questions are:
-How would you describe your ideal job?
-Do you have experience working with diverse audiences?
-What do you see yourself doing five years from now?
-What are your personal strengths and weaknesses?
-Have you ever had a conflict with a co-worker or boss? How did you resolve it?

4. What questions are illegal?
There are some questions that have no significance on your potential job performance and interviewers should not be asking you. While some employers may try to be conversational by asking personal questions, you should know you don't have to answer any questions regarding:
