I think we can prepare for a job interview by practicing how to respond the questions. Of course, you will need to be helped by a friend, and don't be shy, but in this way, you will be able to have a smooth conversation with the interviewer.
I also practiced with this method when I was to do the entrance interview for the university. I don't want to imagine what the outcome would be if I hadn't prepared in that way.

I'm a college student. So I've never had a job interview. If I do it, maybe I prepare CV. But I think the most important thing for people who have a job interview is understanding themselves. Many people prepare a lot of answer to questions what interviewer ask to them. Of cause, it is good thing. But in this case, if they are asked the question that they didn't expect, maybe they would confuse about what they should answer it. So I think answering own thoughts honestly is important. To do that, we need to understand ourselves.

I’ve never had a job interview, so I don’t know what contents about it. Therefore, I presume it and write this comment. To suppose have an interview, I make my CV first. With regard to writing it, I should written for easy to understand, convey my strength and my being able to contribute to the company. Second, I practice interview. For example, how to entering a room, manner of speaking, the act of answering. Finally, I straighten my clothes and hair. I think first Impressions are very important. If I have a job interview, I want to do my best.

I have never had a job interview. However, I was interviewed for study. First of all, I must remember to bring my belongings. It is the worst thing to forget belongings. The second is clothes and hairstyle. The contents are also important, but the first impression is determined by the appearance. So I have to care about appearance. Finally, the contents of the interview. The interviewer will see this the most. So you need to practice a lot and be perfect. If I am perfect, I will have confidence. A lot of preparation is required for a job interview. Get ready and work hard on the day.

To begin with, I try to have knowledges about the job.
The reason why is that I can not tell my opinion as long as I do not know well about it. I think that it is important to collect a lot of information.
Secondly, I try to correct the manner of speaking. I do not think that there are people who have good senses for others who do not speak politely.
However some people often tell me that "what you say is bad."
So, maybe it is so hard for me to correct it.
I believe that original personality would appear in such severe situations.
So, the most important thing is to be careful own attitude in daily.

Hello everyone!
I have never had the oppotunity to have job interview actually.
If I have a chance, I will get certifications related to English in advance.
Interviewers always look at our TOEIC scores before hiring us in Japan.
Whatever you do, it is better to have certifications.
Not to mention, be careful not to do rude for example behavior, dress and grooming. In addition,check for forgotten things and way to destination necessary.
First impression is really important.
It'll be alright!

First, I prepare my CV, ID, and references for a job interview. Also, I research about the company and the job. Because I think that it is important to know them before I have a job interview. Second, besides this, I practice answering the questions over and over. By doing so, I will be able to answer the questions with assurance in a job interview. Then, I confirm the date, time, the place, and belongings of a job interview in order not to make a mistake. Finally, at a job interview, I will show my experience and qualification and the results of my hard practice.
