The best way to make sure everything goes smoothly at your interview is to be prepared. This page should give you a helping hand to get ready for your interview.

DressFirst impressions count. As much as many of us would like to believe that we are unaffected by appearance this is not true for the majority. You should always dress appropriately and smartly for an interview, paying attention to your appearance to create the best impression.

ResearchBe prepared. Try to get as much information before the interview, on the job, company, and even the people who will be interviewing you. Corporate information is often readily available through the Internet, either on the company’s own site. If the technology approach fails, you can always phone the company directly and request a copy of their corporate and sales literature.

PunctualityTurning up late creates a bad impression before you even start the interview. You should plan to arrive with enough time to prepare yourself. Familiarize yourself with the journey beforehand, and if you need to find out how long it will take you to get to your interview you can always do a practice run.

Ask QuestionsYou should always have some questions prepared to ask your interviewer, not only to show that you have a genuine interest in the company and job, but also to help you evaluate them. Does the company culture suit you, are there enough career progression opportunities, will you be given sufficient training, or allowed enough independence?

What Should I Bring? Always bring spare copies of your resume with you in case the interviewer doesn’t have the latest version. This will demonstrate to your prospective employer that you are both professional and organized. You should also bring a pad of paper and a pen (you may need to complete a test or application form), a portfolio or examples of your work, and for some positions, a calculator.

Where did I go Wrong?If you do fail to get the job, it is worthwhile phoning up and asking for a few pointers as to where you went wrong, and what skills you may need to develop to succeed next time.

Here are some great tips for your job-interview:

- Stress your achievements for each job listed in your resume.- Always conduct yourself professionally (no slang language).- Show enthusiasm with in replies and body language.- Do not answer questions with simply “Yes” or “No” be elaborative.- Do not show any negativity towards your past or present employer.- Do not raise salary discussions on your first interview – this is usually done on the second interview.

 

Frequently Asked Job Interview Questions

If you haven’t been to many interviews before, it may be worthwhile preparing answers to some of the following frequently asked questions:

Ask any seasoned beauty pageant professional and they will tell you the contest is won during the interview. However, there is no other aspect of the beauty pageant that instills as much fear and nervousness as the interview and its question and answer session.

The interview portion of a beauty pageant is where the contestant has her chance to reveal that she is much more than a pretty face or a perfect body. The interview reveals the qualities that she holds dear and true to her heart as well as reveals her level of self-confidence in the areas that she believes in. Everything from what she says to how she says it will be judged during this time.

To answer interview questions effectively, the contestant will need to focus on gathering her thoughts before hand. Her answers should be given in a logical and coherent manner as well as spoken with proper inflection and annunciation. If you struggle with nervousness, then you will need to address this in your training. When you answer your interview questions, you need to sound confident, assured, and convicted of your answer. It is not just enough to say, “Yes” or “No”. You will need to give a detailed explanation of your convictions and beliefs and to present this answer to the judges in a confident manner.

Practicing sample interview questions is a great way for any contestant to help prepare themselves for their moment in the spotlight. Some of the most popular questions deal with topics that are important to humanitarian causes and reveal how you feel about societal issues. You may be asked how you would deal with homelessness, what qualities you believe a role model should possess, what your plans are for your future, why you entered the competition, how winning the crown would help you in your life, how did you prepare for the contest, and how would you change the world if you were elected president. Reviewing past contestant’s answers and taking notice of how the winner’s responded will shed great light on what type of answers judges are looking for.

No matter what interview question is posed to you, you should always answer any interview question in four simple steps. First, take at least three seconds to pause before you begin answering the question. This shows that you are not rushing to answer the question with a “packaged” answer. You don’t want to make the judges think that you have your answer prepared. Wait three seconds, and then begin to answer. Second, you should answer by stating that this is your belief or conviction. Sentence starters such as, “I believe” or “I feel strongly” will add meat to your answer. Third, after your lead in sentence, share your convictions while answering the question. When you are through answering the question you should summarize your statement. This is the fourth and final step. Summarize your answer by stating, “Overall, I believe.” Working with your personal beauty pageant trainer as well as a vocal coach can help you gain the confidence that you need to secure your crown.
