jo t asked:


recently I went to a job interview and they ask me why? I left the last job. I didn’t want to say that I was fired, so what would be the best answer?

Ok, so I had my second job interview today which was a paid internship position with a graphic design company in downtown. This position also has flexible scheduling depending on what kind of work comes up and availability. From the way the interviewer was talking to me, he understands that I’m right out of college and the interview process can be a little nervewracking. I smiled and put on a pleasant show today at the interview, but I don’t think I did well in answering some questions. Here’s some dialogue from what I can remember:

Interviewer: Describe two strengths you have
Me: I am very reliable, always on time, and willing to handle new challenges. I’m also really good with deadlines, which is my second strength, like with projects, I tend to get done early, and in school I was one of the first people in class to get a graphic design project done.

Interviewer: Describe a weakness, and what you need to work on.
Me: Well, I don’t have a lot of experience in the web developing part of graphic design like HTML and Dreamweaver, but I really do want to learn it and would like to grow on these type of skills. I am now taking a class learning how to develop websites.

Interviewer: Describe any problems you had with your current job at Six Flags.
Me: Well, when it gets to be that time of the year where everyone is going back to school our department starts to get short handed on employees, so I tend to very good about filling in other peoples shoes, covering other people if they need off.

Interviewer: What do you do for hobbies?
Me: I hang out with friends and like to have fun. I also keep up with the latest information, in picking up tutorials online that help me learn new programs.
They took a look at my design samples and when asked about some of them, I did brag a little bit by saying that one of my designs was for a client and was chosen as best design cause I heard that employers like it when job seekers point out their accomplishments.
I was honest with my availability and when I could work, and when I was taking my class learning HTML and Dreamweaver.
Here’s questions I asked when the interviewer was done talking:
•So, you’re saying that with your interns you have flexible scheduling and tend to accomodate if they’re still in school?
•Do you have any designers that also do programming?
•When will I expect to find out on what decision was made in hiring?

Anyway, I should be hearing a result within the next week. I did follow up immediately after the interview, but I wonder if I screwed up the interview today cause I was nervous. Any advice?

I was asked this in an interview today for a part-time job working at this business in their office. I really don’t have a “dream” job but I know making $9.50 an hour doing a boring job is not it so I said my dream job would to be a model or to be like Paris Hilton and get paid just to be obnoxious. Ok, I know that was a really stupid answer, but what would have been a good answer. I guess another question is: “is it ok to say stuff in a job interview to make you look good even if you don’t really believe it”
