I find a calm but excited feeling has worked for me. Thinking about older interviews I kind of realized it wasn\u2019t very above board. I realize some of the questions weren\u2019t as work centered as someone would hope for especially when I was asked my favorite superhero. I realize that the other questions that were work related were centered around \u201cwhat would you do if ______\u201d were obviously the stronger questions. If I could go back to the interview for that restaurant I would advise them that they should be asking more pertinent to the workplace problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In another interview I was asked from a list of questions that were suitable and honestly that was probably the most reasonable. This was for an internship and it was put together because it was from the county. I honestly couldn\u2019t complain because it was so up to code. It was so easy for them to avoid all legal issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another interview I had I realize now was kind of ridiculous. When I got out of the Navy I worked with an Anytime Fitness and I realize now it was professionally done. If I could give them advice though? I would now insist they ask more work related questions. It seemed at the time they cared less about me being a good personal trainer and more like a salesman which pushed me out inevitably with that lack of a good job description. Overall I would say my experience seem to vary. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have always found that during interviews it always is stressful but in my experience with the Navy I got used to board sitting.
