interviews have a VERY low reliability rate of 0.53, with validity co-efficients measured at as low as 0.13! they are reductionistic, subjective, bias and impressionistic! cant say any crap about top grab jobs being different as its down to human nature, the only way theyre improved any is if theyre situational, rather than traditional or structured, but even then theyre not perfect! | |

In most cases a minute is to long, 3 minuties is the optimen time for you to judge your views on someone, hence why speed dating is often 3 mins. | |

I have a friend on the Enterprise grad scheme. They treat them like crap. Ends up washing cars and all manner of rubbish jobs. They're notorious for it. | |

they'll often start with alot of factual, biographical questions which are redundant as you've already answered them on your application form, these just tends you calm you down and eas you into the interview. | |

try and talk as much as you can, the more you speak, they more chance you have of gettin the job, remember you are there to show them what you're like, not to listen to them. also 95% of interviews are decided within the first minute of the interviewee meeting the panel/interviewer, make a good confident impression but not threatening, and you'll be fine | |

When the boss says "where do you see yourself in 6 months time" dont say "doing your wife". | |

hate interviews, and this one has group work and individual tests, BOTH of which I have never done before at an interview. |
