Job Interview Questions: What do you say in a job interview?

I have a job interview next week for a hostess position and front desk. what is the best way to say why i want the job position?

Use Good Scents for Your Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Fan,

Be the person they'll want for a hostess job...

1- Friendly
2- Outgoing (in an open way, not over the top & aggressive!)
3- Look them in the eye (just as you would people you're greeting as a hostess....) & remember all the good posture things your mother told you (good stance shows confidence)
4- Tell them how much you like dealing with people - which is why the hostess job appealed to you!
5- Dress appropriately for the locale when you go for the interview (Hooters would look for a different type than an upscale or family restaurant or biz office...) - erring on the side of conservative is probably a good idea
6- For the icing on the cake, you turn it around after they've asked you what they wanted to & ask them what they (or their customers) like about the place you're interviewing at and what makes them feel that way (it will show you have an interest in them & in carrying on what makes them a success in the way you'd conduct yourself).

Lots of luck!

Are You Making These Common Job Interview Mistakes?


  • Ask yourself these questions:

    - Why DO you want the job there?
    - Why did you apply for this job over other jobs?
    - For this particular position, show them you have charisma and that you're not going to be a grouch sitting behind the desk.
    - Be polite, don't look smug or depressed or talk as such.

    If you're a teenager, the best advice would be to act as though you really want the job and it's something you're going to work hard at. Although most employers won't admit it, they look at a lot of teenagers the same way, potentially, partying, unable to keep a job, constantly tardy, no-show, quit on the spot kind of people. In my experience, many teenagers are this way. Show them you're not the 'stereotypical teenager' and they'll likely pick you over other young people that want the job.

    If you have a solid GPA, don't hesitate to include so on your resume.

  • Learn how to answer job interview questions. Learn how to negotiate pay. Have the willingness to learn new skills. It's not about the best way to say "I want the job position" but more about saying "I'm a good candidate for this position so don't miss out on hiring me." Remember, you need them more then they need you.
