interview questions for sales internship

Interviews are definitely a good sign, but you're not the only one they are interviewing most likely. They are still weeding people out. You will want to research popular interview questions and rehearse your answers in front of a friend or mirror. I know it sounds silly, but trust me it will pay off. Make sure you dress appropriately. That means dress how they dress not how you think they might dress.

An interview means that you look good on paper and they are willing to spend their time on you. If you are able try going to your least desired locations first for practice. I'm not looking for a job right now but I still apply around just to interview.

Just try to sell yourself. You have to talk about good qualities about yourself. Don't get too nervous, try to get along with the interviewer. Don't let the interview become tense because your nervous.

I am going to assume that you have held previous jobs and that you are in school. Make sure you have on the top of your mind class, things you've learned in school, and projects you've worked on. Also, make sure you have your previous jobs in your mind, so that it is easy for you to explain what you have done in them.

Look over the description for the internship, and think of reasons why you would be good for this position, and try to think of examples of times when you demonstrated those strengths that correspond to this job.

Look into the company. make sure you know what they do. Try to come up with a few questions you can ask your interviewer about the company and the internship because at the end of the interview, you are usually asked if you have any questions and it looks bad if you don't.

They might ask you situational questions - for example: name a time when you had a conflict at work and how you fixed it. ---that's not the best example, but there are so many types of these questions that it is impossible to think of answers to all before hand, which is why you need to have your previous experiences on your mind.

Know why you like the company, the position.

Know your strengths and weaknesses - your weakness should not reflect poorly on your ability to do the job.

Bring a copy of your resume with you.
Pick out your outfit ahead of time so you are not rushing when you leave for the interview.

But most importantly stay calm and cheerful - especially if it is sale, you have to make sure you seem like a people person.
