boa tarde
as minhas experiencias de entrevistas de trabalho são muito restritas, apenas tive uma e foi numa altura muito má da minha vida, tinha acabado de ficar desempregado e comecei logo a mandar curriculos através na net, durante cerca de um mês andei a bater a todas as portas, mas nada de emprego ( trabalho ), até que um dia ao abrir os maills tinha duas ofertas de trabalho, uma para uma fábrica que tinha de entrar ás 6 h da manhã e outra que tinha uma duração de 1 mês à experiencia.
Foi então que arrisquei nesta ultima oferta e foi uma sorte porque estou até hoje neste trabalho.
Penso que quem quer trabalhar tem se atirar a tudo o que aparece, mas também axo que à muita gente que quer emprego não trabalho, e penso que à muita gente que ganha mais em estar em casa a receber o sub.desemprego do que estar num emprego a ganhar o ordenado mínimo e fazer o que não gosta .
Hello Carlos!
Thank you for sharing your ideas. Feel free to interact with your colleagues. 🙂
Congratulations Claudia! I’m really happy for you! I believe the same: work hard and never give up! I wish you the best at the new job!
Thank you and I agree with you, If right doesn’t work, go left 😀
Hi everyone,
At five months ago I quit myself, I wanted something better, not less work but another area and for the past five months I’ve been looking for a job. I went to some job interviews but none of that was what I was looking for. I delivered several CV’s and I only got one answer back and even that one didn’t pass of a dream. I was starting to despair but 2 weeks ago something came up. I grabbed that opportunity with nails and teeth like we use to say and I did my best, I had a feeling that my time arrived and I wasn’t wrong, last Friday I answered a phone call who completely changed my life, I started believe again and I hope that this is going to be the job of my life so I believe we should never give up, everyone get their shot once in life.
Cláudia,Inglês Intensivo, el6809r
Cláudia, sincerely, all the best for your new job! 😉
Thank you, you were a relevant piece in my way, you made me believe myself and my capacities in this area 🙂
Congratulations Claudia. I am looking for a job since December and nowadays it is being difficult to believe that my lucky is coming … I had two interviews in companies where I would like to work, but until moment I do not have any answer…. But it’s very pleasent to know that are some people who can win this challenge, like you.. and like me, some day
Hello Carole, in my experience you can’t wait for those answers… You should call them to know the state of the situation, if they have anyone already and you shouldn’t restrict yourself just to the companies you want…
Good luck 😉
Hello 😉
A job interview is always a very important moment in our lives and also a time of great nervousness and anxiety!
More important than the curriculum is the stance we have throughout the interview! Sometimes it takes a lot of interviews until we get the job we want, but the important thing is to never give up!
Good luck in your interviews! 🙂

Hello Ana Catarina!
That’s the spirit! Never to give up! 😉
Hello friends, In my case I do not have much to tell about experiences in job interviews … I’m actually the interviewer and on this side of the desk things are very different. Anyway there are always curious situations, funny or the opposite, very degradable … I do not intend to share, because I think they are in all cases personal and private …
At this moment I have a son who is in final of course and yes, he is very curious and eager for the first job interview. I hope it goes well and above all that does not disappoint him … Anyway mother worries!
Célia

Dear Celia, once that you’re a interviewer maybe you can satisfy my curiosity.. which is the intention when you ask about our hobbies? Which kind of personality caracteristic you hope to discover with this kind of questions?
On the other hand I’m dealing with two different realities, once is because I have theorical education about an issue but I don’t have experience and for this reason I’m excluded of the recruitment process. On the other hand is because I don’t have specific formation. How I should answer?
Thanks a lot for your help 🙂
Hello Célia and Carole! 🙂 🙂
Interesting to observe the two sides of the coin here.
Good idea! Célia, why don’t you give a couple of advices to Carole? 😉
Hello! My name is Lina. I am a nurse. I do three job interviews, but at the beginning I was very nervous. But all were very important for my development. We must always believe.
Sorry, my english not verry good!

Hello Lina!
Yes, going to job interviews, even if people are not accepted, is always a learning process: learning what to avoid, what not to say and learning not to be very nervous. 🙂
Hello everyone
I had many years ago a job interview, it was the only interview of my life, because in it I got my job until today.
I consider however that whoever is not lucky enough to be employed at the first interview must continue until they get their job, we should never give up.
good luck to everyone
Hello Fernando!
It means the only job interview you had was great! 😛
That’s it! Never give up!
Good afternoon everyone
I don’t have experience in interviews, however in the financial area where I work, I find that a good interview is more appreciated than a good curriculum. Behavior, the way of dressing, and body language are important to those who analyze.
Hello Lino!
That’s true. 🙂
Hello!!!
A Job interview is very important because is the first visual contact we have with the employer.
We need to research the company and knowing everything about the function that we will perform.
We must go dressed appropriately, arrive on time, show tranquility, listen to each question fully before begin to respond in a clear and concise manner.
My personal experience in interviews is very short, I just did a job interview when I finished the course and I work there so far.

Hello Sofia!
Then the only job interview you had was great! 😛
Juliana Nascimento ,EL7435S
Hello everybody
I worked in many places and different jobs. My first job interview was for work on one hotel, I worked in this hotel for 4 year. I gained experience and made lots of friends, but working at a hotel requires a lot and it’s tiring and I was already tired I wanted something different. I went to a job interview at another hotel, but in a different area, the interview went well and I started working, two months later my former boss called to say that he had a very good job for me and asked if I was interested. I said yes, the only thing is that the people I was going to work in only speak English. Well, I was super nervous, because I speak little in English, they did the interview and I got the job. I’ve been working for four months and I’ve learned a lot from them. When we do our work with love and dedication the doors open without waiting.
Hello Juliana!
Another good example about never giving up. 🙂
Hello
I’ve never done a job interview, but I know I’ll do it this year, I’m already nervous just thinking
Hi Denise!
Don’t be nervous! It’s going to be ok … ok? 😛
Hello everyone… My experience in job interviews is nothing, because in the two jobs I did, one during 18 years and another 16 years, I did not have an interview because I was contacted and hired directly. However, tell my experience, and believe me during the years I worked was not the best, for any interview should be prepared, especially psychologically, because the world of work is very ungrateful and do everything to lay us down. Often, they already know who they want and it costs a lot to see that they are just doing theater and we are the puppets …
Hello Helena!
Well, that means that, at least at the beginning you were lucky, you didn’t have to go through the job interview process. You had to go through another kind of process though … Helena, nevertheless, keep faith in yourself, optimism and courage! 😉
I think that an interview is always very important. A CV never shows how a person is, so you need to impress in the interview! Obviously everyone gets nervous. At a point on my my life, i went in so many interviews that i was already like “I don’t care what i’ll say”. Of course i get prepare for the next ones but I notice that the secret is to be yourself and be honest. I only became nervous to an interview again when i tryed to change my life and my work area.
But we need to know who we want to be, where we want to be and get confidant about ourselves! Everything goes right after that. And if it won’t goes right, goes left 🙂 that’s ok too!
Hello Sónia!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I’m a photographer, and in my first job interview was a little stressful.
I was shaking.

Hello Hélder!
Thanks for sharing your ideas.
All the best! 🙂
Hello!
For me, job interviews are a mix of emotions, getting excited by the opportunity but quite anxious.
In the strangest job interview I’ve ever had, what happened to me was that I was detailing my experience in a certain area (the one I was applying for) and the interviewer telling me that he had a person for the place since a week. Until today I still don’t understand what happened…
Happy Easter!
Hello Diana!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
All the best! 🙂
Hello!
Until today I only went to a job interview once. I’m still not sure if it was a real job interview for two reasons: I only did a psychometric test and I never got an answer. Nowadays it isn’t important anymore because after that I started working by myself.
Hello Leonardo!
Thanks for posting your ideas.
All the best! 🙂
Hello.
In my life I had few job interviews, I consider the most important one that gave me my job, it was the fourth interview that had gone, I was nervous like all the others, but in this feeling I was different, with the feeling that everything was going to run Well, and ran. Regarding the interviews I went to and were not successful, I grew up from interview to interview. Until this last one.
Hello Vera!
Thanks for sharing your ideas.
All the best! 🙂
hello.
Tenho pouca experiência em entrevistas de trabalho ,alem disso são sempre muito curtos porque faço apenas em parte time .
Fui chamada a dois anos para participar em seis entrevistas diferentes , isso para trabalhar em fóruns de pequenas e medias empresas .
chega a ser sempre muito constrangedor para mim por não saber como lidar e talvez por ser muito envergonhada , enfim …. Fui aceite para fazer os seis trabalhos , um em cada semana .Foi uma experiência e tanto , interagir com as pessoas ,novos conhecimentos e foi isso .
