Job interview tomorrow, any tips?

Typo

New member
I finally got myself an interview with the manager of the gym I've always wanted to work at.

I'm trying to get a job as a personal trainer there, I've got experience and all the qualifications. I've wanted this job for so long I'm kind of nervous.

Any helpful tips for the interview?
 
Well at least they probably wont give a shit if you dont know the difference between "your" and "you're"
 
Tip 1.

Have a friend help you roleplay the interview. Use all the tough questions you've gotten in past interviews and have your answer ready to go. Never start with an apology, relate everything back to your experience and qualifications. If you have no idea, then just come out and say, "I'm not familar with that technique, subject, strategy, etc."

Tip 2:

A headhunter once gave me the best tip ever. Usually an interview starts with the interviewer telling you what he's looking for, "A well trained, motivated, self starter, etc..." Then immediately or soon after that they say, "Tell me about yourself."

You give them the description they gave you, word-for-word, "I'm a well trained, motivated, self starter..." They don't realize what you did but in their mind they think, "Hey, that's exactly what I'm looking for." Since I've learned that secret, I've not had an interview where I didn't get the offer.
 
you're

and yes he is

oh, and tell them to fuck off :qt:

Should have known a smoothie making bike rideing homo would have no job interview advice.
 
olololololol
 
I interviewed and hired salespeople when I was a manager in retail, and if you're asked a "Tell me about a time when..." question, they're looking for a three point answer. State the situation, state what you personally did to intervene in that situation, and state the outcome of the situation. If you can answer immediately, in a concise but thorough manner, you'll jump to the top of the list. I never hired anybody who had to stop and think about the question, or give "hmmmmm, uhhhh" answers before coming up with a scenario. Those who immediately started talking about their professional life experiences told me two things:

1) they prepared for the interview beforehand, thinking about what would possibly be asked

2) they gave a shit about their previous job, because they remembered specific triumphs



Also, I never hired anybody if they were dressed poorly. If you come into my office looking like a dickloaf, I'm not hiring you to be a salesman. Essentially, you're going to be a salesman as a personal trainer. I personally always wore a suit to interviews, no matter how entry level they may have been when I was younger. Sometimes I wouldn't wear a tie, just to make it a little less formal. I actually got hired once because the manager said straight up, "you dress well, you speak well, I think you're the guy we want."
 
lol, i always see trainers who make a lot of money wearing sweat-pants

I'm going to go tell them they are wrong and doing it all wrong, wear a fucking suit got damn it

ER needs to stick that thing I found for him to mix smoothies with in his mouf and stfu
 
Show them your dink.

Jk.
Dress nice, be confident an prepared.

I found my companies interview questions online and prepared that way.
Every interview I got, got an offer.

You got it bro. Research the company to
 
Show-up in gym clothes.

About half-way through the interview, jump up and show the interviewer a bump on your ass and ask: "Is this an infection from bunk gear or just a really gnarly zit???".

That will show you are conscientious of your health and well-being.
 
I got the job! Fuk i am good! I am the king anything i want i get!

Thanks Nydj66 for your tip that's exactly what happened; I told him pretty much what he told me he wanted and he didn't seem to notice!

I will take over the world soon!
 
hhahahhahahaha
 
Take a shower. Pause after you're asked a question to pose a quality response. If you don't understand a question you're asked then clarify before answering. Be prepared with quality questions for which the answers aren't available online or common knowledge.

Good Luck!
 
My advice...learn a little bit about the company..be yourself and ask questions about your position and expectations.
 
smile, nice handshake, ease up on cologne, don't fidget, maintain good eye contact. if your interviewer is a woman, wear some nice slacks, shirt and tie, if a man; add the jacket and make it a suit.

practice some of the possible questions if that will make feel more comfortable.

do a follow up thank you email.
