If you simply allow yourself to feel nervous, you’ll do much better. Remember also that it’s difficult for the interviewer as well. In general, smile and be positive. Never be negative. Rehearse your answers and keep them short. Try not to talk for more than two minutes straight. Don’t try to memorize answers word for word. Use the answers shown below as a guide only, and don’t be afraid to include your own thoughts and words. To help you remember key concepts write down and review a few key words for each answer. Rehearse your answers frequently and they will come to you naturally in interviews.  \nTry to find out what the employer wants in an employee, and then show them how you meet those qualifications. Match your abilities with the job description as best you can. Your goal is to present your abilities and qualifications as the perfect “key” that fits the “lock” of the position. If you do well, the recruiter or hiring manager might email REP something like this:  \n“In regards to tips for her interview, she presented professionally, spoke calmly and with poise. She is passionate, eager to apply her talents and she was not hesitant to ask questions.”  \nFor In-Person Interviews  \n• Bring a photo ID. You’ll need this to get into most office buildings  \n• If possible, bring two copies of your current, REP resume (The employer will probably already have a copy, but just in case, it’s good to have a paper copy you can look at during the interview)  \n• Arrive at least 30 minutes early. Locate the building entrance and then take a brief walk or perhaps get a cup of tea or coffee nearby. Walk into the building at least 15 before the interview. Many buildings have extensive security procedures that take time before you can get into the office.  \n• Be very friendly with all the security guards, receptionists, secretaries etc. If you are rude to them, they may tell the hiring manager. If you are friendly and interested, they may say something that can help your case. If possible, learn their names and thank them, using their name, as you leave.  \nSuccessful Interview Strategies  \nA. Always tell the truth – but in positive light. This takes practice and thought. Don’t make things up. Bring attention to the things you have to offer that fit the job.  \nB. Always remember – you have real value as an employee and the employer will benefit if they hire you!  \nC. You must go to your interview alone. It is not okay to bring a friend, family member or child to an interview. In some cases, REP can ask for permission for you to bring an interpreter.  \nD. Carefully review every line of the job description. Note where you have the right experience and think about how to emphasize that. Note where you lack the experience the employer wants. Think of ways to show that you have done something similar and ways to assure the employer that you can learn the skills you lack. If you have any question about the job description, consult your mentor.  \nE. Remember the name of everyone who interviews you. Sometimes you will be expecting to interview with one person and there will be two or more. If you’re not sure who they are or what their job is you should ask. You can also ask if they have a business card.  \nF. Have your current REP resume in front of you if possible so you can refer to it during the interview. If interviewing in-person, bring two copies and offer one to the interviewer. They may already have it, but this action helps you get the resume out in front of you on your lap.  \nG. Think before you answer. A pause to collect your thoughts shows that you are a thoughtful person  \nH. As a daily exercise, practice being more optimistic. For example, just as an exercise in your daily life, try putting a posit","cbCaidndA5NSo8so","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidndA5NSo8so","pdf",216256,"English","# General Guidelines in Answering Interview Questions\n## For In-Person Interviews\n## Successful Interview Strategies\n## About the 16 Interview Questions","[{\"question\":\"How should you handle nervousness before and during an interview?\",\"answer\":\"Allow yourself to feel nervous rather than trying to eliminate it completely, and focus on being positive.
