                 Job interviews                                  

The selection interview has had a long and dishonorable history as the world's most popular method of sorting out the wheat from the chaff. Despite being in constant use from the moment when the first cave-dweller asked a succession of nervous  cave painters the immortal questions 'So why should I offer-you this job.?' the humble interview has always been thought of as a pretty useless way to select the right candidate. And yet, despite the widespread feeling that interviews are only marginally more successful at predicting success at work than examining the entrails of a dead cockerel, all employees continue to inflict this unnatural experience upon successive generations of graduates. 

Your performance in the interview is very important, even though some people regard interviews as poor predictors of future performance. there is a good deal of subjectivity in an interview to judge a candidate, but as a candidate, the subjectivity inherent in interviews can work to your advantage. If you manifest confidence and enthusiasm, smile a lot and generally look as though you know what you are talking about, then you're well on the way to a result. How you respond is probably more important than what you say.
