From the Come Recommended site:
"You
always hear about what you shouldn’t say in an interview, but what should you
say? What are those tid-bits you should mention that will set you apart from
the rest? Here are a few that I found helpful:
That you
actually want the position: This little tidbit could be the one thing that sets
you apart from the other candidates. Don’t play it cool and aloof in this
situation. If you are eager to be hired for the position, LET THEM KNOW. But
remember to always be prepared to tell them why. Alison Doyle tells you more
here.
Your
familiarity with the company: Expressing your familiarity with the company you
are interviewing with is a great way to SHOW the employer how interested you
are and how invested you will be in your job, without actually having to say
exactly that.
Good
buzzwords: Whenever you are asked a question about yourself, like what skills
do you possess, or do you think you are a team player, make sure to use your
buzzwords. Collaborative, innovative, pro-active, drive, cooperate, team ethic,
contribute…these are all great words to use. Come up with a few of your own
that you feel really describe you, and make sure to use them in an interview.
You can find a lot more information on buzzwords and how to use them here.
Future
plans: If you have the desire to really build a career in one company, make
sure to mention that in your interview. No company wants to invest time and
money in you to have you leave after three years. That being said, if your
future plans involve using this job as a springboard to launch you
acting/singing career, it’s probably best not to mention that.
Ask
questions: When asked at the end of an interview, NEVER say no. Always have
some questions up your sleeve. Usually two or three questions would be
sufficient. Questions should be centered on the company, and again show your
interest. If you have noticed that they have won several awards, ask why they
think they have that edge."
