Job Interviewing Tutorial for High School Students,
Teen and Entry-Level Job-Seekers

 

What to say in the interview (how to respond to interview questions).

 

Here are 5 tips for better interview responses:

 

• It's OK to pause before responding to an interview question -- especially if it is one you did not expect. Another neat trick for gaining some time in responding is to ask the interviewer to repeat the question.

 

• Before responding, think about what the employer is really asking with the question.

 

• Don't be too brief. Give a response that's complete enough to answer the question -- remembering to show (by providing an example) rather than just telling.

 

• Avoid rambling. This is solved by practicing interview responses beforehand. Keep your interview responses to about 1-2 minutes.

 

• Project yourself as a willing and enthusiastic worker.

 

You can find lots of questions to practice responding to in our Job Interview Database for Job-Seekers.
