Interview tips

Another of the assignments for this week was to find three videos on youtube which provide useful tips for job interviews. Here are some of the ones I found...

Firstly there was this one, which was 12 tips on how to do well in a job interview. This video is short and to the point, but all 12 are key for any interview.

Then I found this one, which was a tiny but useful bit of advice. How to respond to a difficult interview question, in which you don't really know the answer, OR, you need to buy yourself some time to think. I've actually used that response myself in an interview, in which I wasn't sure how to answer the (seemingly unrelated!) question that I was asked. It gave me time to really think about what she was asking, and come up with an appropriate response, as well as gave me time to ponder WHY i was asked that particular question.

The last video was actually a series of nine videos, the first of which can be found here. These are just videos which give you tips and tricks in a viewer friendly, relaxed manner. The advice given in this series is down to earth and honest! The rest of the series can be accessed by clicking the side links, or alternately going to the user's profile, searching for "interview tips" (or, just click here) and clicking the links to the individual videos in the series.
