Job Interviewing Skills: Increase Job Offers With Effective Communication!

Recommended Answer:
Ahhh yes great question:

What are your 3 biggest strengths? For this one I would suggest you say Multi tasking, Calm under pressure, and a hard worker - customers will expect these 3 things from you

What is your biggest weakness? For this one I would suggest you say something bad that's also a strength such as I work too hard (for this is a weakness in that you don't just work you work too hard but it's also a strength because your ready for any challenge. Another response is I am sometimes too enthusiastic but it's a strength because it's contagious

Why should I hire you over someone else? For this one I would suggest you say I'm loyal, easy to manage, honest, and hard working. The reason for this is managers eat this up, they like to be in charge but they also like someone they can manage.

If you were an animal which one would you be? This one is rarely asked but it might be, think of an animal that has the following qualities : Hard worker, brave, resourceful, team player loyal, etc. Some great answers are an ant, an eagle, beaver (don't laugh), dog, or a cheetah

Tell me a time you provided great customer service. Okay they may ask this, even though it's your first job. Try starting with helping others, charities, etc.

What makes you a great team player? For this one I suggest you think back to a club you were once in high school or outside on a baseball team or other sport or an academic team. If you don't have those go for how you help your family.

As for your atire, Dress to Impress. Go all out. NO NOT ARMANI :) but definately BLUE dress shirt, TIE, Black pants, Black shoes. The reason for blue is it's a positive color and says alot about you. RED usually evokes anger. Plus, as a future store manager (which is what goes on in their minds) they don't want someone leading the store who doesn't even take his/her appearance seriously.

IMPORTANT - remain calm, picture this person as just another person, it's like talking to a teacher or a friend. Don't be nervous, no matter how needy you are for cash, just focus on being articulate, clear, and intelligent. Don't say UM or EH phrase complete sentences and you'll rock this.

Oh and don't let anyone tell you good luck, in my opinion the word luck makes you feel like you'll lose so just keep in mind Do a great job and know many people have been in your situation at least 3 times in their lives so just know you are not alone. It's already over just go it my friend. Just do it.

McD's needs people who will easily pick up using their registers and keeping the food moving as they want a very short service time.

Dress neatly for the interview (NO JEANS) and be on time. You'll be fine. Good Luck.

McD's was my teens first job, which she kept for a year and a half (good for a teen) and we enjoyed the discount food. Kinda miss my half price Southwest Chicken Salads.

Job Interview Advice - How to Properly Prepare for a Job Interview and Get Hired

Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview for a nanny job tomorrow....?

I really want this job. It is not only to take care of kids but to assist their mother with things such as paying bills and running errands. Aside from talking about my experience with kids, my being CPR and First Aid Certified, and my clean record, can anyone offer me any tips to possibly help with me getting this job? It's good paying and I'm really looking forward to my interview!

Job Interviewing Skills: Making The Small Differences Count!

Recommended Answer:
Try to hit it off with the mom. She doesn't want someone she doesn't get along with around her kids and acting as her personal assistant. You sound friendly, so play that up. Professional is good in terms of being reliable, but you also need to show a warmer, more emotional side that will help you connect with the kids. You're being hired to be an assistant mother. Act maternal.

Job Interview Skills: Upgrade Your Performance!

• Talk about your hobbies, especially ones in which you could include the children. For instance, tell them you enjoy going to the beach or park to play ball, or that you take frequent trips to the library. If your hobbies are limited to watching TV and playing video games, I'd omit that. Good luck!


• If you have a previous positive work history I would talk about that and what your long term life goals are, show you have ambition


• Take references with you- preferrably not from family members- that you've worked for.
  Dress professionally. You don't need a business suit, but you don't want to show up in jeans and a t shirt either. Be conservative in your dress.
  Be upfront and honest in answering questions.
  Be positive and if the kids are there greet them. Ask their names and show interest.

Thank You For The Job Interview - Are You Sending a Follow Up Letter?

• First of all, my suggestion is to make sure you look presentable for your interview. Make sure you are wearing appropriate clothing (dress skirt or suit depending on gender) and be very polite. Show that you care enough about your appearance. Another suggestion is to take out any odd piercings (like eyebrows) depending on what kind of job you are being interviewed for. Jeans and a t-shirt and weird, distracting piercings? Not a good idea. Show the interviewer that you respect them enough and that getting this job is important to you.
  Secondly, if you have an angry customer, keep the philosophy that the "customer is always right" (even if you personally think they are crazy!) remain calm. DO NOT raise your voice. Speak normally but slowly, and call the customer Ma'am or Sir.
  My friend is the boss where she works and these were the suggestions she gave to me.
  
  also, if you are going to work at a law office for instance, dress up. but if you are going to an animal shelter and plan to be scooping poop? A collared shirt would be best.


• Well if you have an angry customer what you want to do is listen to them without any interruptions, empathize and apologize for whatever the inconvenience is, and then resolve the problem. The importance of this question is that the hiring manager wants to know if you would be able to handle certain situations.


• The best answer I can give you for an interview is to always be positive. Employers don't like to hear the word no. It may sound funny, but for example, if you're offered a cup of coffee then say you'd love one. That's even IF you don't drink coffee. Aside from that, just be yourself and be truthful in all of your answers. Many employers can see right through candidates that are being fake. Or if they hire you only to find later on you lied, well let's just say that won't be fun.


• Just say that you ...you know they are angry and them seeing you get angry would only make matters worse....so you would remain calm...show them that you empathize with them...and try to defuse their anger by being as calm and helpful as you can.


• be positive every interviewer likes a positive person it lets them no that you'll try ur best to b nice to all the customers

5 Job Interview Answers to Avoid

Recommended Answer:
marijuana is fat soluable so theres nothing you can do. if it was water soluable it would be gone in a few days but id recommend job at a local fast food chain or something that requires little to no skill.

Don't Blow Your Job Interview

• They do. Same day, drink gallons of water, add good deal of salt, plenty of multivitamins.


• Yes most companies will drug test you, and on the spot! They send you to go get the drug test, then you have to turn in the results in a timely fashion, if you don't they know you are hiding something. Most companies now a days also test for cleansers, or anything to hide anything in your system! The best, fastest, and most reliable way to have a clean drug test is to...NOT USE DRUGS!!!


• Keep looking for a job, because it takes a long time to test clean with weed.
  Not only that, but, what happens when they surprise test you, on the job?
  God bless.
