need some tips for an interview - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**courlerwele** · 07-30-2007, 11:53 PM

I work for BB, selling computers, and this guy in the Best Buy for Business dept quit, so I applied for his position, as a Best Buy for Business Technology Specialist, which in other works means do the same **** I'm doing now, but sell to business customers, so on ocasion when someone is looking to get 10 pcs, I would help them from start to finish and sell them the complete solution, and also would have to be mcse certified and sell servers. Anyhow I've only really been thru 2 interviews since I started in the workforce, and get nervous, but what do you guys think I should mention/talk about ? keep in mind I'm the youngest guy applying for the position...everyone else is in there 20's, I'm 18...so I guess that could be considered lack of experience compared to others...but I know things I got going for me, is : hard worker, never call out from work, always on time or early, come in early or stay later or even come in on my days off if they ask me, and have good performance at work to back me up...but help me out guys, something I should or not say during the interview ?

Do not hint that this may be a temporary situation for you, like you're planning to go studying or something like that.

Ask them about their training plan / career development etc - as that will give the impression that you are a serious long term investment - even if you are not in fact planning on staying long.

Ask plenty of questions about the role, as it shows interest. Answer all questions as clearly and sensibly as possible. If you don't know the answer to something then say so, instead of trying to fudge it and look like an idiot.
