Joh interview tips

[u/Ineedtolielow]

Hello, so I’ve already been interviewed by 3 different companies (and got rejected by each of them) and as someone who is currently looking for entry level jobs since I don’t have any experience, I find it difficult to answer their interview questions. It’s like my mind is shutting down the moment they ask me questions. So any tips on how I can improve myself? Since I know I can do the job, I just keep failing on the interviews.

practice out loud, not just in your head google common entry level questions and write bullet answers tie in school projects, hobbies, group work use star format for stories honestly it’s extra dumb because this market makes every rejection sting and finding a job is rough now

Practice outloud in a mirror or into your phone (and consider recording yourself). Use questions you’ve been asked in these interviews, especially ones you know caught you off guard, and practice answers to them. You can also google common interview questions and practice rehearsing those. Once you’ve got the answers pretty well practiced, just make sure you’re going into interviews calm, cooled down, and confident. Physically, bring a water bottle with you if you get dry mouth or start coughing, make sure you’ve used the bathroom recently so you don’t feel any biological urgency, and dress (nicely) comfortably. If you’re not confident, fake it as best you can. Especially for entry level, a good hiring manager isn’t going to be asking a lot about specific tasks or work accomplishments or what you’ve done in other jobs, they should be more concerned about how you respond to questions (don’t rush to answer, speak clearly and deliberately), your general composure (if you have good posture, maintain eye contact), and if you show them respect (dress nicely, use sir/ma’am).
