Job advice

My advice is to go for an interview with the best preparation, good job information, fhilosophy of the company, its mission, values and goals.
It is also advisable to practice a response to common questions in interviews are conducted.
There is no way you can accurately predict the questions that will be asked, but you can be ready and prepared by thinking about the factors that might concern an interviewer before the interview.

Kennedy says, "Practice in advance what you'll say. Then keep it brief, keep it honest and keep it moving." That way, you'll get past the sticky issue of getting fired and can move on to your skills and why you're qualified for the job.

I think that is very important in this kind of interviews, to be intuitive, I mean to guess what the employer is looking for, and demonstrate that you can give it. Moreover,you must take into account aspects like the way you'll dress, and the body language you 'll show during the interview. They'll give them a lot of information about you. You must control it!

Herminia, you were right about the body language, and it doesn't mean something "dirty" as we thought... In fact, I looked it for in Google and I found out there is a site where the teach you how to use it. It's called Changing minds.org and they display techniques of using body language. The think is we can show it in this chat at all.... since we can't see each other!!!
Carles, what Kennedy, the US President?

You are right, the body language says a lot about a candidate. I visited the site and really body language represents a world of signs not only applicable to find work.
I particularly liked the messages can be sent with your lips, eyes and legs.

John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), often referred to by his initials JFK, was the 35th President of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963.

Ok, I figured out it was JFK, on of the best presidents ever of the US.
My favorite words of him are: "Don't ask yourself what this nation can do for you, aks yourself what you can do for your nation!".

Thanks Marta for your interesting contribution. Is a fascinating subject the body language and the amount of feelings and intentions you can express through it.Many years ago, I was interested in it and red some books about it. I'll enter this page as soon as I can, and I'll tell you.
