got a job interview at 10am for a admin officer at a construction company who
supply 'construction contractors' to construction projects i.e. their
product is 'people' not materials!

that horrible question why do u want to work for us?

the only other thing i know about the company is its been going since 97

no website

plse help with that question ive been up most of night worrying but its not like i havent got a job already!! and to top it off my hayfever has kicked in big time!!!

just tell em you prefer talking to people not materials you idiot

I'm sure you can make up something about them being a good employer with opportunities for you to progress your career development and enhance your potential...
but shouldn't you really find out a bit more about the company if you're going to work for them? Sorry to sound critical but you should find out what sort of employer you are letting yourself in for!

Just because they dont have a website doesnt mean you cant do some searches on the web about them. You could also phone up to speak with their sales department, explain that you have been invited for a job interview with the company and want to know a bit the sort of customers they deal with etc. Shows interest and it's bound to get back to your interviewers.

I think Wendy has it right however as the Interview is at 10AM today it leaves her little time.

Focus on the people/customer part. This is why you went for the job and not 'Construction'. Highlight why want to work with people, your personal qualities and how these attributes contribute to your high level of customer service etc etc. Remember in the construction industry you will have both internal and external customers. Knowing little info about the company doesn't normally affect your chances greatly but knowing what you do and highlighting your strengths will make a difference.

PS Good luck :thumbsup: and let us know how you get on

You could ask them why they don't have a website in this day and age.
