...Pre-Interview 1. Know the Company backwards and forward * Know the companies values and tell the interviewer about how your values match the companies values * Know the story of how, when, where, and why the company started * Know the companies mission statement and tell the interviewer why their mission statement is aligned with your career goals. * Understand the financial situation of the company and their competitors * Know the companies goals and ambitions when it comes to the community how they match with what you want to do for the community 2. Practice answering interview questions * The best way of going about this is to download general interview questions that are asked the most in an interview. Write out your answers and memorize the answers for the questions, but not the exact answer; so, it won’t look rehearsed. * Find questions that are specific to your field that you are applying to. For instance, I’m accounting major and I have looked up questions that applied to the accounting field so I will have an idea what an interviewer will ask pertaining to the field I’m applying for. 3. Technology * There are many resources available to you online that will allow you do mock interviews in the comfort of your home. For instance, UHD partners with a website called interviewstream that allows you to record your interview while answering questions. Dress appropriately like it is a real interview. 4.

...anxiety before you go to attend an interview. The solution to this anxiety is good preparation. Here are some interview questions which you can expect to be asked during your HR interview with a way to answer them: 1. Did you face any difficulty in finding this place? The interviewer usually asks this question to initiate the talk and put the candidate to ease. You can smile and answer this question by saying: “It wasn’t difficult to find this place.” 2. Tell me something about yourself. This is the most commonly asked first question in any interview and the one which can set a ground for rest of your interview. Include details like: Your education background (not beyond 12th standard), some information about your family – father’s profession, mother’s profession, number of siblings (no need to get into their educational details) and some information about your extracurricular activities or hobbies. 3. Why does this role interest you? Or why have you applied for this job? The purpose of this question is to see if you are really interested in this job or you applied to this job just because you are jobless. Relate the job requirements with your candidature and explain why do you believe you are a suitable candidate for this job. 4. Why do you think should we take you for this job? This is another way of asking the last question. A company will want to hire you if you can add some value to it. So, focus your answer on your skills and how they can be helpful for the position...

...Business Level 3 Unit 13 – Recruitment and Selection in Business By: Khalid Jeylani P1 In this assignment I am going to identify how two organisations plan recruitment using internal and external sources. My two organisations are Samsung and Tesco Samsung Samsung is a South Korean multinational conglomerate company headquartered in Samsung Town, Seoul. It comprises numerous subsidiaries and affiliated businesses, most of them united under the Samsung brand, and are the largest South Korean chaebol (business conglomerate). Samsung was founded by Lee Byung-chul in 1938 as a trading company. Over the next three decades, the group diversified into areas including food processing, textiles, insurance, securities and retail. Samsung entered the electronics industry in the late 1960s and the construction and shipbuilding industries in the mid-1970s; these areas would drive its subsequent growth. Following Lee's death in 1987, Samsung was separated into four business groups – Samsung Group, Shinsegae Group, CJ Group and Hansol Group. Since 1990s, Samsung has increasingly globalized its activities and electronics, particularly mobile phones and semiconductors, have become its most important source of income. Notable Samsung industrial subsidiaries include Samsung Electronics (the world's largest information technology company measured by 2012 revenues, and 4th in market value), Samsung Heavy Industries (the world's 2nd-largest shipbuilder measured by 2010 revenues), and Samsung Engineering...

I chose to interview Mr. Vasile, a Math and Computer Science high school teacher in his late fifties. He is known and loved by everyone, students and teachers, as well. He has been teaching for more than 25 years and is familiar with everything and anything in the school. I chose to interview him because I know that I will be able to pickup and learn a lot from his professional experience. The interview took place during lunch at the school he teaches at and everything went just as smooth as I anticipated. I brought lunch for both of us and shared a unique hour of emotional talk. I had a list of questions planned out but in the end I realized that I did not need all of them and picked out the top important ones. I started out my interview with asking him why...

...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Monday, March 12, 2012 My Cousin Vinny: a story about legal education The Abnormal Use blog is celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the release of the movie My Cousin Vinny by publishing a series of comments and interviews and also by sponsoring a multi-blog discussion on the movie. Go here to get more information. When my students ask me to recommend movies, I give them a list I have prepared over the years in which I have organized the titles under certain main “themes.” No one is surprised to see My Cousin Vinny on the list, but some are surprised I have listed it under the theme of “legal education.” So, I thought I’d use my contribution to the Abnormal Use blog’s celebration to explain why. One reason I place My Cousin Vinny under the theme of legal education is that it provides so much material you can use in the classroom. For example, you can use the movie to discuss criminal procedure, courtroom decorum, professional responsibility, unethical behavior, the role of the judge in a trial, efficient cross-examination, the role of expert witnesses and effective trial advocacy. Go here, here and here for more on this. But the reference to legal education goes deeper. I think you can use the movie to discuss the most common topic of debate within legal education itself. Interestingly, however, in My Cousin Vinny, the issue is turned on its head. After Vinny’s girlfriend Mona Lisa bails him out for a second time after having been...

...For my interview with a Penn State faculty member, I chose to meet with Dr. Pavel Azalov. My intended major is computer science, so Dr. Azalov seemed to be the best option for myself. When I was coming up with questions to ask during the interview, I wanted to focus on my future at Penn State and what I should expect when it comes time for me to take courses related to computer science. By doing this, I hoped to gain a better understanding of the process of getting a degree in computer science. My first question I asked was to see if I was personally ready to begin taking college level computer science courses. I was not sure of the level of experience with computer programming was recommended for entry level classes in the field of study. As I would come to learn, there is no experience required for basic programming classes, and this came to me as sort of a surprise. Almost every major subject, whether it is math, writing, history, or science, usually requires some sort of background knowledge of the subject. Some people may not think of it that way, though.

...Project Management Interview Questions I've Been Asked the Most. What Would You Add? Over the last few months I’ve had many phone and in-person interviews for project management jobs. They have been with a variety of companies covering many project types (though primarily software development and IT functions.) I’d like to share some questions I’ve been consistently asked during these interviews with this group. I may not be qualified to give much advice on how to ANSWER them (disclosure: I’m still interviewing! So, grain of salt.) However, I CAN shed a little light on what questions you can expect as an applicant to mid to senior level PM positions. Now... imagine you have arrived at the interview with your folio of crisp resumes, references, and work examples... you do have all that stuff, right? You are ushered to the conference room, where you confidently shake hands and greet your interviewer(s.) You sit down, exhale... and we’re off! “So, TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF...” (Have something short and sweet here. There is a large group of interviewers that like to challenge (ahem, torture) you by starting with this open-ended question.) “WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING since your last job?” (If you’ve been out of work more than a month, be ready for this question. Hint: “Watching the History Channel” is a bad answer.) "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR in a new job?” (This should work with your answer to the similar question, "What interests you about this company?” Both answers can...

...Broken Employment Contract?”, on pp. 50–53 1. Did Wayne have an employment contract, either oral or written, with EcoCare? Why or why not? Yes, Wayne did have an employment contract with EcoCare that is considered oral. According to Wayne, during his interview Bell stated, “As long as he did his job, he could stay with the company until he reached retirement age.” You know this is an oral contract because it proves four elements: an offer, consideration, acceptance, and mutuality. There was an offer given to Wayne to work at the company until he is at retirement age. Consideration means something was offered in exchange for the specified action, meaning Wayne was offered to stay until retirement only if he did his job. Wayne then was handed the manual and accepted the job offer. Both Bell and Wayne were aware of the offer and mutually agreed to the hire. 2. What problems, if any, do you see with EcoCare’s pre-employment process? EcoCare’s employment process is just unorganized. Bell should have never told a new hire in an interview that she knew of no one being discharged so they won’t have to look for work. That is unprofessional and can cause disputes later on. There was no documentation of the hiring interview and no pre-employment paperwork for records. The reason this company is in this predicament is because of the unorganized hire of Wayne. 3. Can an employer’s written human resource policies ever be construed as a contract between an employer and an employee...
