Don't give the same answers everyone else will. Say something interesting about yourself. Like, "I've played the piano for this many years" or "I collect fake credit cards". Add something silly to the list of intellectual things about you, and they're sure to remember you.
I think you need to answer that yourself. People that don't know you can't answer things for you. The employer will see through that because you won't be confident.
Give a brief description about yourself to mainly include the experiance you have to help you in the job you are applying for. Don't go in to great detail on your past, focus on your education and job history. As far as salary - you should have some prior knowledge on the exptected pay scale or comparitive pay for the area and position
tell me about yourself is not a hard one ---be yourself-talk and don't be shy-be positive--don't whine/blame anybody for anything,
list some of your accomlishments.BE PROUD OF YOU!
salary--can be tough--tell them you want a fair and equitable wage for the experience or lack thereof

Here's some question and answer for job interview.Hope it will help.
Q.Tell me about yourself.
A.This is the dreaded, classic, open-ended interview question and likely to be among the first. It's your chance to introduce your qualifications, good work habits, etc. Keep it mostly work and career related.
Q.Why do you want to leave your current job? (Why did you leave your last job?)
A.Be careful with this. Avoid trashing other employers and making statements like, "I need more money." Instead, make generic statements such as, "It's a career move."
Q.What are your strengths?
A.Point out your positive attributes related to the job.
Q.What are your weaknesses?
A.Everybody has weaknesses, but don't spend too much time on this one and keep it work related. Along with a minor weakness or two, try to point out a couple of weaknesses that the interviewer might see as strengths, such as sometimes being a little too meticulous about the quality of your work. (Avoid saying "I work too hard." It's a predictable, common answer.) For every weakness, offer a strength that compensates for it.
Q.Which adjectives would you use to describe yourself?
A.Answer with positive, work-oriented adjectives, such as conscientious, hard-working, honest and courteous, plus a brief description or example of why each fits you well.
Q.What do you know about our company?
A.To answer this one, research the company before you interview.
Q.Why do you want to work for us?
A.Same as above. Research the company before you interview. Avoid the predictable, such as, "Because it's a great company." Say why you think it's a great company.
Q.Why should I hire you?
A.Point out your positive attributes related to the job, and the good job you've done in the past. Include any compliments you've received from management.
Q.What past accomplishments gave you satisfaction?
A.Briefly describe one to three work projects that made you proud or earned you pats on the back, promotions, raises, etc. Focus more on achievement than reward.
Q.What makes you want to work hard?
A.Naturally, material rewards such as perks, salary and benefits come into play. But again, focus more on achievement and the satisfaction you derive from it.
Q.What type of work environment do you like best?
A.Tailor your answer to the job. For example, if in doing your job you're required to lock the lab doors and work alone, then indicate that you enjoy being a team player when needed, but also enjoy working independently. If you're required to attend regular project planning and status meetings, then indicate that you're a strong team player and like being part of a team.
Q.Why do you want this job?
A.To help you answer this and related questions, study the job ad in advance. But a job ad alone may not be enough, so it's okay to ask questions about the job while you're answering. Say what attracts you to the job. Avoid the obvious and meaningless, such as, "I need a job."
Q.How do you handle pressure and stress?
A.This is sort of a double whammy, because you're likely already stressed from the interview and the interviewer can see if you're handling it well or not. Everybody feels stress, but the degree varies. Saying that you whine to your shrink, kick your dog or slam down a fifth of Jack Daniels are not good answers. Exercising, relaxing with a good book, socializing with friends or turning stress into productive energy are more along the lines of the "correct" answers.
Q.Explain how you overcame a major obstacle.
A.The interviewer is likely looking for a particular example of your problem-solving skills and the pride you show for solving it.
Q.Where do you see yourself five (ten or fifteen) years from now?
A.Explain your career-advancement goals that are in line with the job for which you are interviewing. Your interviewer is likely more interested in how he, she or the company will benefit from you achieving your goals than what you'll get from it, but it goes hand in hand to a large degree. It's not a good idea to tell your potential new boss that you'll be going after his or her job, but it's okay to mention that you'd like to earn a senior or management position.
Q.What qualifies you for this job?
A.Tout your skills, experience, education and other qualifications, especially those that match the job description well. Avoid just regurgitating your resume. Explain why.
Q.Why did you choose your college major?
A.The interviewer is likely fishing to see if you are interested in your field of work or just doing a job to get paid. Explain why you like it. Besides your personal interests, include some rock-solid business reasons that show you have vision and business sense.
negotiate with your salary. ask them for the salary they had in mind and work from there - never seem desperate.
about yourself - list all strenghts and good things like how organized you are, respectful, reliable, dependable, a team player, on time, a people's person, etc. since you're applying for a front desk position, try to smile, look and act friendly and use a great speaking voice. more than likely you'll be the first person the public will have contact with from your company.
don't forget to look professional during your interview. dark suit and closed toe shoes, neat hair and nails, don't wear cologne/perfume, please be neat, clean and on time. always ask questions about the job/company - it makes them think you're interested.
good luck!!
About yourself: Tell them you have a strong work ethic, you keep your personal life and work life separate, you enjoy your leisure time by relaxing and unwinding, and don't tell them anything about husband or children unless they ask specifically. Your salary expectations: If it is by the hour, request $2.00 more hourly than you are willing to accept, that way you have some room for negotiation. Good luck I hope you get the job.
Your asking to much questions. just calm down and just wait 4 it 2 happen. B yourself. answer it in your own way.:)
the best way to answer that is to ask them " well, what would you like to know?" Tell them some of your hobbies, things you like to do in your spare time. And when they ask you about salary well that depends on how much expirence that you have and where you live. Check out the page below to get some kind of idea as to what you'll be doing and how much you should ask for. Hope this helps.
try a google search to find out the base salary for the position you're going for, then see what the average is depending on experiance. as hard as it would be. try not to look nervous, make your aswers short and to the point, and most importantly always make eye contact with the interviewer.
IS IT A DAY SPA? IF SO THEY WILL ASK ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE ON FRONT DESK AND SECRETARIAL WORK. IF YOU HAVE AT LEASE 1YR ON THAT YOU STILL IN THE RUNNING TO GETTING THE JOB. BE CALM AND RELAXED. STAY FOCUSED AND PAY ATTENTION. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER SAY, "MY APOLOGIES BUT I AM NOT SURE". TELL THEM YOUR AGE, IF YOU HAVE ANY KIDS, IF YOU ATTEND SCHOOL, YOUR PERSONALITY AND BUSINESS SENSE. IF YOU ARE USED TO GETTING $8 AND YOU HAVE A YR EXPERIENCE ASK FOR 8 MAYBE 9 AT THE DOOR(DEPENDING ON YOUR CONFIDENCE) IF 2 OR MORE YRS AND MAYBE $10 OR MORE. ADD $1 TO EVERY 2 YRS EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE AND PAY IS OVER 10. MAKE SURE YOU SMILE AND YOU LOOK PRESENTABLE(REMEMBER YOU WILL BE THE 1ST PERSON THE CUSTOMER/CLIENT WILL SEE THATS WHAT THE INTERVIEWER WILL BE THINKING WHEN THEY SEE YOU).
First, get something nice to wear. A power suit, a business suit, something that strikes up in you as professional.
When you reach there, if you are a smoker, try not to smoke maybe about half and hour before you step in. Companies like spa centre, it's all about beuty and health.
Put on your best smile, remember to greet with anybody you see. Hi, Hello, Good Morning, Thank you, Please. All these will be in consideration. You never know the interviewer might ask her other employer who might bump into you.
Most probably, the interviewer will run through your resume, looking for the experience she needs. She would most probably ask you about your frontline experience. Have you worked in frontline before? Have you deal with customers before? How do you handle them if they are angry or nasty.
Be prepared if she ask you, "why did you quit your last job before you got a new job?" Nevere say anything bad about your last job even if the job sucks. Say something like, "I'm looking to diversify my capabilities", "seeking other challenges", etc. You can also answer, "I left my last job because not many companies can wait for one month for me to tender so it's an ongoing process."
Tell me about yourself, just a little about your work history, it's a good time to express your strength in the job. Say something, i'v been working for many years with so-and-so and so-and-so. I find serving customers very challenging because you get all types of customers but I served them all and it makes me happy if they leave the shop happily. i also enjoy helping my colleagues when they have problems. I like giving ideas to help my company succeed.
Salary expectation, you need to know what is the market like? Don't give too low or too high. If they say they can give you a slightly low pay but you are pretty OK with it, ask them if this is for probationary period and if it will be adjusted.
don't hope too much for medical benefits and dental and annual leave.
A lot of people is blinded by these benefits so much that even though the pay is high, they don't want to take the job. Benefits should come secondary, the pay is your concern.
Good luck and email me if you get the job.
Not sure what kind of question they'll be asking. As far as, "tell me about yourself?" Play up your strong points that you think will be helpful for the job. Just be honest, don't talk too much and get to the point.
As far as salary expectation, if you've done a similar job before and are looking to move up, tell them you want a bit more than you are making now, and I don't mean to say that exactly :) but state the exact dollar amount you are looking for. If you REALLY want the job then you might want to say it is negotiable. Sometimes the benefits you get and good working conditions can mean more than good pay. Good luck!
A couple of exercises I really like in preparing for an interview involve some personal reflection and a little writing and rehearsing. To answer the question "tell me about yourself", a career counselor once had me write a statement about myself illustrating what I like about myself that took no more than thirty seconds to say. In my statement, I mention two to three qualities that I really like about myself that I think makes me a good candidate, and I often include a quote that sums up my attitude toward life.
The other thing I do is to list specific experiences I have had that prepared me to take the job I am interviewing for. In a job like this, you might want to have two ready stories which demonstrate your ability to go above in beyond in customer service as well as a story that illustrates your attention to detail or your ability to multi-task I have worked as a receptionist in a spa, and believe it's a lot of all the above qualities. For example, I tell a story where I took several specific actions and extra time and effort on my part to accomplish a special experience for a customer. Good luck
When you approach the interview room--say Good morning sirs and Madam too if there is one and take your seat only after they ask you to do so. Give a broad smile to everyone and look straight into the face of interviewer before and even while answering his question but do not stare at him. While answering the question, "please introduce yourself",please explain your social, cultural and family background to begin with in brief.Then tell about your educational and technical qualifications and highlight credits / class or distinction if any.Highlight the strengths of your personality to make a deep impression on the
interviewers' mind.Put your salary expectation firmly across,which should be distinctly higher than the current one and say that you expect some incentive quite naturally. But still say thereafter that" I leave it to your good sense to decide."In the end take smart steps out AND THANK ALL OF THEM BEFORE LEAVING WITH A BROAD SMILE.Wish you good luck and here I pray for your success.
