    Communication and interpersonal skills play a big role when organising an event because communicating with others will come across quite a few times such as agreeing on the size of the venue, queries from the attendees or even when deciding on the number of people to cater for. Organising a large even can be quite challenging and using interpersonal skills can have a huge influence on how successful the event will be. For example, asking listening to what others are telling you will be an effective interpersonal skill to use because other people recognise mistakes before you and they can give you new ideas and can give advices on the areas you need improvement on.…

    60 Interview Questions

    GENERAL GUIDELINES: Everyone is nervous on interviews. If you simply allow yourself to feel nervous, you’ll do much better. In general, be upbeat and positive. Never be negative. Never talk for more than 2 minutes straight. Find out what an employer wants most in his or her ideal candidate, then show how you meet those qualifications. In other words, you must match your abilities, with the needs of the employer. Be honest and most important never lie. Good luck! 1. Tell me about yourself. Beware, about 80% of all interviews begin with this “innocent” question. Many candidates, unprepared for the question, skewer themselves by rambling, recapping their life story, delving into ancient work history or personal matters. Start with the present and tell why you are well qualified for the position. Remember that the key to all successful interviewing is to match your qualifications to what the interviewer is looking for. This is the single most important strategy in job hunting. 2. What are your greatest strengths? This question seems like a softball lob, but be prepared. You don’t want to come across as egotistical or arrogant. Neither is this a time to be humble. You know that your key strategy is to first uncover your interviewer’s greatest wants and needs before you answer questions. You know how to do this from question 1. You should have a list mentally prepared of your greatest strengths. You should also have specific example or two, which illustrates each strength.The 10 most desirable traits:1. A proven track record as an achiever.2. Intelligence and management capabilities.3. Honesty and integrity.4. Good to fit corporate culture.5. Positive attitude.6. Good communication skills.7. Dedication to walk the extra mile to achieve excellence.8. Definiteness of goals.9. Enthusiasm.10. Confident. 3. What are your greatest weaknesses? This is an eliminator question, designed to…
