    Job Interview Questions: What are the "rules" in rescheduling a job interview?

    My city got 20 + inches of snow today (Wed) and today and tomorrow the city is pretty much shut down.. My interview is on Friday and i'm afraid I wont be able to make it because of the amount of snow removal we have to do. Any thoughts on rescheduling interviews?

    Discriminatory Job Interview Questions to Avoid



    Recommended Answer:
    Do you live in the North or the South? If you live in the North, that snow will be gone by Friday. If you live in the South, leave your house an early, drive 10 below the speed limit, and be a cautious driver. Unless everybody's power out, there's no reason to miss an interview because of weather. It's a test of how you would do on the job anyway. If something's hard, would you just do it later? Your future employer hopes not.

    10 Job Interview Tips That Will Help You Make a Good Impression


    • You should call tomorrow and let them know your status. Ask about the possibility of rescheduling if it becomes a problem. There should be no problem if it is a reasonable company.

    • Get up early and hike in your suit and dress shoes. Messy but worth it.Think of it this way-after you get the job you'll be able to afford a new pair of dogs to put up on your brand new davenport!!

    • They live in the same city you do. If they can get to work, you can get to the interview.

    Job Interview Questions: How should I dress for a job interview?

    I'm 17 years, and I have a job interiew tomorrow.
    I was wondering, if I should just dress casual or wear a shirt and tie?

    Job Interview Tip Number 1 is Preparation



    Recommended Answer:
    It really depends on the job you're looking for.
    In my experience and my friend's experience if you wear something that you'd never ever wear during the job your boss may get a little miffed because you were just putting on a facade during the interview.
    If you're going for a desk job and would wear nice clothes definitely a nice shirt and probably some khakis. A tie may be too much but really use your own judgement. You can always bring the tie with you and when you get there if you're feeling it put it on the bathroom before you go in.
    If you're interviewing for something more casual like a video store or a market or book store (etc.) you don't have to dress up so much. Just probably nothing that you think would scare off the boss.
    If you know the boss it'd be good to figure out of they'd be intrigued by things like cool jewelry and stuff or intimidated and put off.
    If all else fails just remember - you want to be yourself but present the best version of yourself. But don't raise the bar too high and give yourself room to get better. :)
    Good luck!

    Job Interview Preparation


    • it depends what type of job. if its a job in food like starbucks then you can dress more casual. if it is a big job like an assistant or more business like, you dress differently. you can always wear a black pencil skirt and a blouse. its better to wear darker colors to look more professional. make sure no tattoos are showing if you have any and dont wear to much jewelry. for shoes you can wear either flats or heals. dont wear sneakers or slippers.

    Mistakes to Avoid When Answering Tricky Job Interview Questions



    Recommended Answer:
    Dress nicely. For my interview at a movie theater I wore black pants, a white button up, and heels and carried my jacket with me even thought it was 95 degrees out side. I was dressed nicer than the manager interviewing me but it showed that I was serious about the job. Don't forget dress for the job you want not the one you have!

    Job Interview Preparation - Three Key Steps


    • GCFLearnFree.org has free tutorials on how to prepare for interviews: www.gcflearnfree.org/interviewski… It includes instructional text, informational graphics, examples, and even interactives for you to practice what you've learned/actually apply what you've learned. It discusses what you should wear to an interview and what questions you can anticipate being asked.

      It's best to wear professional clothes to an interview, even if the attire you would wear during employment is much more casual. Something fitting for an office environment, so dress slacks, dress shoes, a nice blouse, tasteful jewelry, clean, neat hair and general clean and tidy appearance

      If you need additional help for things like writing a resume or job searching, there are tutorials for that as well: www.gcflearnfree.org/career

      Hope it helps and Good Luck!

    • Dress professional. That applies for all interviews. Dress pants, nice black shoes that match, and a dress shirt. A nice suit works too. Going to a used clothing store is great if you are on a budget. You aren't dressing like you are going to a fancy play, but you need to dress up. If you take the job seriously they will take you seriously. Bring a trusted friend along for their opinion on your outfit. That helps too. Good luck!!

    Job Interview Questions: What should I wear to a job interview at The Body Shop?

So can anyone give me some good suggestions as to what I should wear to this interview?

    Job Interview Questions: What should I wear to a job interview?

    I'm 17 and i'm interviewing at a little family owned cheese shop. I worked at Subway until I quit on Monday, and I just wore khaki pants to that interview, but I felt like I was overdressed. Would jeans be okay or should I dress it up a little anyways?

    Lethal Job Interview Mistakes



    Recommended Answer:
    Just dress smart but casual. You don't want to be going in a business woman's suit, yet you don't want to be going in sweat pants and a baggy top.

    I recommend that you wear a nice casual t-shirt and some Cotton pants or plain jeans that have know holes or dark or light patches in for the fashion. You want to look professional yet easy and nice to work and get on with.

    Also make-up is important if you normally wear it. Don't go in with make up on like your going to a party, go for the natural look for example skin tone foundation, light lip gloss or lipstick and light shades of eye shadow.

    Hope I helped.

    Job Interviewing Preparation: The Winning Approach!



    Recommended Answer:
    First, congratulations on landing the interview! In today's market, that's not always an easy thing to do. You have all the materials you need, however, consider them more like a portfolio. Anything you've done that is relevant to the position you are interviewing for should be included. The most important thing to do is prepare yourself. Find a friend or family member and mock interview so that you can practice your answers. There are a lot of places online you will find potential interview questions. Next, make sure you have 2-3 questions of your own and plan on asking them during the interview. Do your homework and read about the company. Find things to ask about that let them know you have done research and are taking the position seriously. The site below will also give you more information on interview tips.

    Job Interviews - How to Quickly and Easily Succeed at Them


    • If they need the transcript, they would ask for it. I think it is overkill and a waste of paper. They'd also insist on it being in a sealed envelope from the registrar and they would probably request it themselves. Usually they would only care if you have a degree. I'd arrive ten minutes before the interview and I would bring a pen and the other two items you mentioned.

      I'd also make sure to dress professionally and not go in even in business casual if you can help it. Business casual is the bare minimum if you don't own a suit. At least wear a tie. Make sure to wear good shoes and your hair looks nice. Don't forget deodorant. Take out any piercings you have on before you get there.

    • You probably don't need the college transcript--I've never been asked to provide one for an entry-level job--but you can bring all of your documents in a professional-looking leather portfolio, and if your interviewer expresses any interest in seeing proof of your credit hours, you can pull it and show him. If he doesn't say anything, just leave it in there.

      If you haven't filled out an official job application with the company, bring the addresses and phone numbers of all your previous jobs (for filling out the job history section--I surely don't remember all the details of my previous jobs that well), and bring a few copies of your references sheet with the names and contact info for at least three references.

      You can walk in about 10 minutes early and let someone know that you are there to see so-and-so, but that you know you're early, so there's no rush. You'll probably be directed somewhere to wait for your interviewer.

      Look up a list of commonly asked interview questions (Google it) and already have answers prepared for those questions.

    • Myself I believe that letters are great, providing they are composed utilizing great punctuation and spelling (always use a spall chocker!). You can get some great guidance for composing letters by visiting the resource in the box below, it's got a lot of other stuff about job hunting in addition.

    • Good luck with your interview. Even if your nervous try and appear to be confident. Not TOO over confident though. Just that you believe in yourself and know what your doing.
      Make sure you show charisma and when they ask the question
      'why should we employ you' say because you have ambition. Let them know that you believe in yourself and their company!
      How could they say no!
      Best of luck

    • I'll tell you what NOT to bring: your cell phone. (Or leave it in the car. Turn it off, at the very least.)

      Sure way to blow an interview is to have your cell phone ring during the interview. Even worse if you answer it.

    • A fresh copy of your resume. Dress business casual, bring a pen, and arrive 10 to 15 minutes early

    Job Interview Questions: What kind of clothes should i wear for a job interview at a rock climbing gym?

    i have an interview for a regular employee position at a rock climbing gym so what should i wear? i don't want to be too formal, or too lax, but its a climbing gym right? this is minimum wage job position any ideas?

    What to Do Before, During and After a Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    Like all job interviews - somewhat dressy. I wouldn't recommend a suit/tie or power suit, but a pair of slacks/skirt and a button up shirt/blouse would be good. Probably comfortable, practical shoes (not heels, etc.).
    Do not wear what you would climbing...save that for the job (if that's the dress code for employees).

    Job Interview Essentials


    • Obviously those who said be dressy never been to a climbing gym before or have realized how laid back it is. First off if you walk into a climbing gym wearing a suit blouse they`re probably going think you know nothing about climbing. It`ll lead them to believe that you`re too strict or dont know what climbing is about. I`d show up in a pair of decent jeans and a t shirt or nice shirt. Dont get your hair all done and dont wear tons of makeup. I`d also bring a gym bag along with clothes that you can climb in, this way you can change after the interview and climb in the gym. It`ll show that you really enjoy climbing and climb any chance you get.

      After the interview ask the person interviewing you if there is a place you can change because you want to climb

    • I always make it a point to be somewhat dressy for any interview, regardless of the job type. You should just wear black or gray dress pants, a nice button down and dressy flats. It shows that youre not trying to over-do it, but that you are professional.

    • Wear what you'd like to work in if it could pass for new and smells fresh.
      In my case that would be black synthetic body stocking leaving feet, hands
      and neck upwards exposed. I prefer to climb wearing black boots, helmet
      and don't use chalk.

    • I would say jeans, a nice blouse, good shoes (not worn), and do your makeup well (I suggest doing it pretty nude). The jeans make it less formal, but you look like you care.

    • i would say NICE yoga style pants, a nice shirt/blouse, casual flats/nice shoes ( nice fancy workout gear)

    • climbing boots and a bowline.

    Job Interview Questions: How do I answer this question in a job interview?

    I just graduated college and am in the process of job hunting. I'm finding little to nothing in my desired career so I'm starting to apply for administrative and secretarial positions. I'm anticipating a question such as, "Why do you want this job?" to come up. How do you answer this question when you really don't *want* the job, but rather *need* the job?

    I'm obviously not the only person that's had to work jobs they didn't want to do, so how did you answer this question during the interview?

    Job Interview Mistakes To Avoid



    Recommended Answer:
    Just like the person above me mentioned, as much as you would rather have a different job, don't ever say that. You don't have to sound like you are over the moon excited or ready to jump for job, but don't give off the impression that you would rather work anywhere else.

    I would say something like you want this job because the environment seems positive, challenging, and the best environment to make use of your skills and training.”

    Good luck!

    Job Interview Questions: Tips for relaxing during a job interview?

    I have an interview for a job that I really want at 4 today.

    But during interviews I always get noticeably nervous, any tips for relaxing?

    9 Steps to Job Interview Success



    Recommended Answer:
    It is important to like and know enough about the company you are interviewing with. After researching, take note of what is very similar to your background and beliefs. For example, if you like that the company has a youth outreach program and you volunteered or participated with one; if the company is a Green company that finds ways to not pollute the environment by recycling and you are doing things yourself to better preserve the land; or they are affilliated with a charity that you support. This enables you to have connection that you can utilize during the interview because you are referencing what you already are at ease with. Everyone is a bit nervous at times, but try to present yourself in a calm not too relaxed manner. Think about your answers to questions before just blurting anything out. Arrive there about fifteen minutes beforehand, greet the receptionist with a friendly, confident and positive manner and take a seat to begin relaxing. As long as you made some preparation, your objective is to go have a friendly (but professional) talk with someone who may just offer you a job! Good Luck!

    Succeeding in a Job Interview


    • Just remember that you're having a conversation with another person. The same as you would at the grocery store, at a concert, or a barbeque.

      Don't focus on getting the job. Focus on making a friend and learning more about a company.

      And, remember, it's okay to be nervous. When I interviewed candidates, I expected them to be nervous.

      Take a deep breath and relax. You'll be okay whether you get the job or not. Afterall, if you don't get this one, there may be a better one waiting for you.

    • I do too. Everyone else will probably say to drink or smoke before you go. You could do that but they might smell it. I would say just remember they are a human. I mean think of your past bosses. They are just normal people doing their job. Just breathe and you will do great.

    • I totally disagree with the girl who said everyone would say drink or smoke.. who the hell says that? Idiots? Just try to breathe and remember they will expect you to be nervous. Maybe go for a brisk walk or something today to get yourself prepped. Good luck!

    Nervous About an Upcoming Job Interview? Just Focus on the Three Interview Objectives


    • WHEN U GO TO INTERVIEW JUST COOLMIND
      DONT ACT TO BE OVERSMART .AND UR DRESS.

    • don't wear cologne. Make good eye contact. If the interviewer drops something, pick it up. Show up 5 min early. Wear brown or khaki. Be ver cordial to everyone in the establishment as he/she may be observing your interactions with others. Avoid religion and politics.

    • Walk in with confidence (in your dress, your walk, your talk and your posture). A firm handshake with your introduction. Sit straight, do not fold your arms, play with your hands or bounce your foot. Don' fidget. If you have questions you save them for the end. Let the interviewing person interview.

    • Make eye contact, but don't stare too long....you don't want to intimidate the interviewer...

      Strong handshake, but again, don't crush his/her hand. And give your hands a quick wipe before you go in, in case you're nervous and they're sweaty.

      Don't fidget, and don't bouce your legs or anything like that....show you're confident and relaxed. Don't slouch...And get a good night sleep, and be awake for a while before you go in....yawning is a big negative in an interview....shows you're not interested, or not reliable enough to come in fresh and at your best.

      Show up 5-10 minutes early, but no earlier than 15 minutes early....any earlier than that, and it shows you don't respect their schedule. They gave you a set time to come in, so come in at the right time...but if they say 8am....don't show up at 8am either...or def not at 8:05

    • You are clearly an articulate and intelligent chap, i think you will be just fine:)

    Should I phone to ask what is going on? I'm pretty sure if they were interested in me they would have let me know by now? :(

    • In the interview they give you a test first. You need to eat 30 pieces of fried chicken consisting of legs, thighs, and breasts in 10 minutes, if you fail to then you can't have the job. Personally I think that is ridiculous, but I did it because I really wanted the part time job too when I was 15. Then they ask you several questions like " what would you do if a customer wasn't happy with their food?" And you need to accept that you will show up on time. Then they give you instructions on what you will do when you start. the interview will last about 30 minutes. I guess all you need to bring is pretty much an empty stomach so that you can finish the food.

    • I would have a resume if you have any previous working experience. I would even throw in babysitting, Hobbies, goals and interests. They will see that you are an organized and motivated person.
      Good luck!

    • Bring your resume, some references and any key certificates you might have that show qualifications or how responsible & trustworthy you are.

      Also remember to clear your nails & teeth before you go.

    Today I accidentally farted during the interview. Everyone such as the supervisors, manager, and interviewers all burst out into laugher. I cried and ran off the door. Was it right of me to do that or am I a sore loser? FYI, I am a 26 year old man, and very emotional.

    Job Interview Questions: Am I screwed because I forgot to send a thank you letter after a job interview?

    I had an awesome interview 3 weeks ago. I was the first person being interviewed so I believe she is still interviewing people. It's for a social work position. Am I screwed because of the lack of thank you note?

    How to Answer Job Interview Questions Correctly and Get Hired



    Recommended Answer:
    You're not screwed, but you might have diminished your chances. If you want to, you can try sending one now, although I'm not certain I'd recommend it; you've already waited so long it might seem odd. You still have a chance at getting the job, the card would've just boosted you up a little, left a better impression. You were the first person interviewed, so it might end up being hard for you to stay fresh in the companies mind. A card would have helped stop that. Regardless, if you were the best applicant you would more then likely get the job card or no card.

    Job Interview Questions: Tips for a hands-on/ on-the-job interview?

    I have a 4 hour interview this week. I passed the first group-stage and now I have a unique situation- it is an on-the-job interview.

    Does anyone have any tips for me on this?

    How to Prepare for a Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    OK, well good news then! You passed stage1, which is where you showed the basic skills they need you to show to be considered part of their team. Now on to the practical.

    On the job interviews are often used by employers to see if you actually do have the skills you claim, and how you address the key core tasks of the job. They are used most often by:
    - creative arts and crafts employers, those where core application of skills and output is essential (ie: cooking, design)
    - team work is core to the job, such as in the military
    - high-brand employers, where the essentials of customer service and decorum are core to the brand. Harrods love them!

    They are also used by companies seeking to employ executives, normally at a third stage once you have passed any initial tests and interviews, and socially meet key board members. As a small employer, we do this with all our potential new hires, giving them the opportunity to come and see how we work for a morning or an afternoon - that's the way it is sold to them, but it is really just an extended interview.

    You need to look at the job advert again, and if you have time ask the employer for a copy of the job description. The advert is derived from the job description, and its your ability to undertake the core skills that are being assessed. You might want to undertake some practise (ie: hiring a baker, so bake some bread!), or some pre-thought (last minute creativity never works). Secondly, look at the companies website and public information, and see what type of culture they have: small and friendly, off beat, by the rules corporate? That's the second level of assessment, as in will you actually fit in with our team?

    I have seen on the job interviews where by the employer exploits the job applicant, and asks them to do the job for the entire interview period. It is quite common in low paid jobs, such as waitressing, where by the employer gains a whole member of staff for free just by rotating a series of job applicants. They then ask for a third and fourth on the job interview, etc! If they ask you to do the job, do make sure that you are covered by their insurances - yes, specifically ask: hate to see a job applicant lose a finger or a life, or be sued by a customer. One on the job interview should be enough, and if you do the job for more than half the time then expect to be "paid" something, which in all likely hood will be a gift in gratitude as opposed to cash.

    Make sure the interview has both process and purpose within their employment procedure, and if you are unclear about the outcome then call the HR contact and ask. These types of interviews often have multiple outcomes depending on the type of skill/application you show. For instance, if they like you but don't think you have the right level of skill, then you could be offered another (lesser) job - again, another not uncommon outcome.

    In summary, be prepared to do what the core job description asks of you, and be aware that they will assess whether or not you are one of them. Practise core skills if necessary, and think about the types of work they could ask you to do. Make sure you know the duration and outcomes of the process, and be prepared for a formal sit-down interview at the end of the process; so have some questions prepared, and ask for feedback.

    This as I said at the start is a good sign, so - Good Luck!

      Job Interview Tips That Deliver



      Recommended Answer:
      Firstly, don't stress. Interviews really aren't that bad! Now - To answer the rest of your questions:

      Dress:
      For this interview, I'd go smart casual - leaning more towards the "smart" side of it. So, for girls: A nice black skirt/pants with a blouse and smart ballet flats/heels. Or something to that equivalent. For a guy: Black dress pants, a button up shirt and dress shoes. Please don't make the fatal mistake of wearing white socks with black pants and shoes. They notice that kind of stuff.
      It's important to be comfortable in what you choose to wear, but just make sure it looks professional and not scruffy. So, polish your shoes, iron your clothes etc.

      Questions:
      Most interviewers ask typical questions like "Why do you want to work for us?"
      "What can you bring to the team?"
      "Tell us about a time you've handled a difficult customer?"
      "What drew you to the position?"

      They will essentially ask you to tell them why you're more suitable for this position than everyone else they're interviewing.

      Anything else you need to know:
      A few tips:
      1. They read body language. Don't sit slouched over, or say "Um" "like" or "y'know" a lot. Be eloquent. Pay attention and smile frequently.
      2. Do some research on the company if you don't know much about it. Look at their website, look at whether or not they have any current deals - this shows that you're actually interested in the job.
      3. Make eye contact with the person/people who are conducting the interview. Most employers are looking for a person who won't freak out when a customer/client talks to them.
      4. Make a list of any questions that you have for the employer. If you don't understand something - ask them. Try and avoid discussing what you will get paid - that's for later on.
      5. Get a good nights sleep the night before the interview. Just chillax before you go in - I like listening to some good tunes on my ipod - that way I don't get nervous.

      I'm sure you'll do really well - Go get 'em and Good luck!!! x

        Job Interviews - Last Minute Strategies



        Recommended Answer:
        In face-to-face interviews, the prospective employer is trying get a feel for your personality and how you might fit into their work environment. If they ask you to tell them about yourself concentrate on your resume. Talk about your education--what you liked in school and what you were good at. Talk about clubs and activities you participated in, especially those in which you had a position of responsibility or leadership. Talk about your previous job experience, emphasizing things that you are proud of like promotions. This is your chance to brag about yourself.

        Smile and be friendly. Treat it like any other situation in which you are meeting new people.

          Job Interview Questions: What shall I do if I have not heard back from a job interview?

          I applied for a job recently, and the hiring manager said that she would get back to me on the 29th April to inform me if I had been successful in the short listing process. However, it is now exactly a week and I am really anxious. Should I phone her or email her to find out, or would I come across as sounding desperate and impatient?

          How to Handle a Courtesy Job Interview



          Recommended Answer:
          I think the best thing to do would be to call or email since its already been a week, however, in the future (if you don't get this job) I would recommend sending out a thank you card immediately after leaving the interview.

          I have managed to find 2 great jobs in a very bad economy and I was told by the hiring manager that the nice thank you note sealed the deal. It really set me apart from the others they were considering, and thats coming from the managers.

          The note said something like "I just wanted to thank you for your time and let you know that I am very interested in the _______ position. After speaking with you about this job in detail, I know that I will be a perfect fit with your team. If you choose to go with another candidate, I completely understand, and please feel free to keep my information on record for future reference and if your business needs change,"

          That little 99 cent card got me the job :)

          Try it next time. As for now, a nice email stating something similar to what I just said would be your best shot because it would get there quicker than a card. You want to make sure that you get back to her as soon as possible in case shes still in debates about who to hire.

          Good luck, it sounds like either shes really busy and running behind schedule or you may not have gotten it :/

          • You can feel free to give her a call, but at this point it is unlikely that you are going to get the job. However, there is definitely nothing wrong with following up after an interview. It shows that you care about the job. Your choice of wording will determine if you sound desperate and impatient.

          Job Interview Tips to Employment Success


          • your job is to support the manager in running the store so I would keep mentioning that you are a team player and try to use examples where you can. remember to be yourself and be honest. using '' big words'' might seem a good idea as suggested but make sure you don't sound patronizing, the boss will not like someone who they think is better than them ( trust me from experience) . show that you can lead and motivate the staff and that you can be trusted to run the store in the GMs absence and you will be fine.

            Good luck ;)

          • The key to interviews is to be yourself but, along with that you have to act more intelligent or in other ways "fit" for the job. Also maintain eye contact, be confident!

          • I would say be confident, just go in knowing you're right for the job and he/she will see that through body language and how you act. It defiantly will help.

            I have never had an actual job. But I am a babysitter and often volunteer at large events?

            Impress Potential Employers By Getting Job Interview Practice



            Recommended Answer:
            It depends, with your babysitting and volunteer work did you ever have to multi-task? If so, then answer 'Yes' to that question.

            The Importance of Great Job Interview Answers


            • Most people when applying for their first job forget that things like babysitting and volunteering is actual work. Tell the interviewer about these. Now think, when you were doing these were you multi-tasking? Probably. So tell how you feel, they are not looking for any certain answer or phrase, just honesty.

            • Professionally no, however with volunteer work yes.. It was so hectic because... And i handled everything so brilliantly because.... basically i kick *** in multitasking roles. that's how i am wired.And even better! Cut out the the first 3 words in that. Seriously, without would be the stronger statement.

            • Since it's an interview, I'd say "yes" and explain specifically what you mean by that. (That you have experience in multi-tasking in a fast-paced environment, but that not on a job site.) You'll get credit for coming up with something if you give an intelligent answer.

            • for multi tasking I would say yes. If you babysit you could say there have been times when you have had to deal with multiple kids at once and have had to handle hectic situations with rowdy kids or something like that.
              and im sure any employer would appreciate volunteer work of any kind. it would show your character and responsibility. Can someone help with my question?

            Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview at a pet store and I need some help?

            The Importance of the Job Interview in Canada



            Recommended Answer:
            They are likely going to ask a few questions in a certain order.

            1.) Are you over the age of 18?
            2.) If not, are you over the (age in your state after which you are not required to have working papers)?
            3.) If not, do you have working papers (*if yes, you may be asked to furnish a copy).

            These are basic questions to establish the legality of your employment. They cannot actually ask you your numeric age, as it may be misconstrued as age discrimination, yet they must be assured that you are either old enough to work for them or are in possession of the appropriate legal documents (*working papers) to work for them.

            After that, they may ask you what your experiences with animals are? How long have you been keeping certain kinds of pets? What sort of formal or informal training do you have with the animals that they sell?

            After that, different stores and managers may have different questions to feel you and the best fit for you out. Where I used to work, we had three areas. The kennel (*a behind the scenes job for animal care only), the fishroom (dish only sales and customer service), and the sales floor (which was customer service for small animals, reptiles, birds, etc.). At interviews, the store owner would always ask the same three questions.

            1.) Do you love animals but aren't quite a people person? (*because, if so, the kennel is the place for you!)
            2.) Do you love animals and enjoy interacting with people, especially helping them find the perfect pet? (*if so, the floor's for you)
            3.) Are you a real fish geek/freak? (*if so, the fishroom's definitely the spot for you).Remember, opinions will vary.

            Admittedly, I wasn't initially hired at my prior job at first because I came in for fish staff right after they already hired someone (who ended up quitting after a couple of weeks). However, a couple months later, I came in and asked if I could purchase a yamabuka ogon koi with one eye for a discounted price due to the conformational deformity. The manager at the time said no, but asked if I wanted a job. The rest is, as they say, history.

            Ninja Job Interview Tactics For Serious Job Seekers


            • They basically will ask your work experience, if any. what hours can you work, any restrictions that sort of thing. they might also want to know how much you do know about pets and their care. if you've kept fish for a few years, tell them or have a dog or cat or any pet. Depending on what type of job with this store you are applying for? if its just general sales clerk, they probably won't go too in depth. But what ever knowledge you have in pet care, let them know. But don't act too superior or know it all. They may have a program they want you to follow. Remember it is a business. be sure to let them know you are eager to work in a pet store. So just be honest and charming. speak up and don't mimble or act like you don't know what to say..if your not clear on something, do ask though! While I haven't doen this for a pet store, i have hired people in retail and we all want someone who will show up and work. Not just a warm body, as it were. So show them you are ready to work and to learn.
              Good luck!

            • they ask if you have any pets, if have ever had any experience with animals and what type/breed if you did. They'll ask if you are social, and stuff like that...and during the interview make sure you keep eye contact at all times and answer questions completely and thoroughly to show that you are...and when making eye contact, dont make it a creeper stare lmao, just make casual eye contact and stay focused

            • Go to their website if they have one and find out about the company and their mission statement. Use keywords from their website or advertisement for employment when answering. Most interviewers ask the same questions. Why should I hire you? Tell me about yourself. What are your strengths? Why do you want to work here? Tell me how you would handle a difficult situation.

            • They'll ask you things like if you have any pets, what animals you like most, other stupid questions. At least that's what I was asked when Petsmart interviewed me. I got the job. Then I quit six months later because all of the employees were extremely rude and irresponsible.

            Techniques To Avoid Job Interview Stress



            Recommended Answer:
            I wouldn't go into details. Just tell them you misjudged and made a mistake. You have learned from it and much more cautious and much more mature now. It was one of the hardest periods in your life, but it was a good opportunity for you to grow up and understand the consequences of your actions, and you are making much better life choices because of it. You can't go back and change the past, all you can do is learn and grow from the experience.

Don't sound irresponsible, for example don't say I got pulled over for a busted head light, no one's head light has ever failed a breathalizer. Just sound mature and responsible when if your asked, to be honest with you most people wont ask.

              Use the above link. It's great. It gives typical questions and best answers. Being a little nervous is good, coming in with a cocky attitude will lose you the job unless it's a hard sell sales job. If it's retail sales, they just want someone that will be nice to the customers and apply a gentle pressure to buy. The one question I can almost guarantee they will ask is why do you want this job. The truth is you want to make some bucks to buy stuff. Don't say that. Tell them what you think they want to hear. Say I love your department store and want to gain some experience on the ground floor so I can rise with your fine organization. Good luck, it's always tough for your first job.

              World's Best Job Interview Tips


              • This will be open and shut. You are 16 and it's a clothing store. The "interview" will just to make sure you are presentable and aren't stupid. They will probably hire you on the spot, or just ask you random questions. It's not like you have a resume. Depending on the store (if it's a big name or not), they might just have you fill out an application online and take a "test" that has to do with checking your morals. It basically asks you the same questions, but in different ways, and they're all going to be related to laziness, can they trust you not to steal, etc.

I want to obviously dress better than they would on a standard day. I am thinking a little below knee length dress with a white tee-shirt under it. It would like nice, professional but still a little bit more fashionable. What do you all think?

              I am sixteen and have my first interview in two days. Its at McDonald's, so nothing to fancy. I wasn't sure what I should wear. I could use some extra opinions. My interview is also right after school, so I won't have time to change before then.

              Ways to Hugely Boost Your Job Interview Success Rate



              Recommended Answer:
              regardless of what anyone else says, do NOT wear jeans. find yourself a nice knee length skirt or a pair of dress pants that are not too tight. wear it with a nicer top that covers your boobs, and has at least a cap sleeve. if you are going to wear heels for shoes, make sure they are shorter heels, and dont look remotely hookerish.

              yeah yeah i know its just mcdonalds, but first impressions count for a lot when you are applying for a job. wouldnt it suck if you turned up in jeans and got the one manager who was a complete dick about dress codes and wrote you off simply because you couldnt be arsed to wear something other than what you would wear to school on a normal day?

              ive seen it happen. i used to work at a food place. and it was a small restaurant so if there was an interview going on, you could usually see/hear it. people who turned up in jeans never got the job.

              • If it is the costume you are currently wearing, then yes. You are a great value as an employee- you come with your own brain trust. It is also okay to take candy off of the boss's desk to put into your pillow case.

                :)

              • Definitely, especially if it's a costume of Lady Gaga

              • I think that would be acceptable.

              Job Interview Tips That Lead to Job Offers



              Recommended Answer:
              Only wear a badge/pin if you were in a service fraternity in a field relevant to the job. Otherwise leave it at home.

              Know the Common Job Interview Questions


              • It is not acceptable. No disrespect intended to your fraternity, but an employer would look on it as wearing boy-scout badges. In other words, the intention with which you wear it will be interpreted in a drastically different manner.

                Good luck with your interview. Just be yourself and it will be fine.

              • You shouldn't wear it. As evidenced by some of the answers above, some ignorant people don't understand what it means to be Greek. If they see your pin, they could hold it against you.

                John
                thefraternityadvisor.com/

              • Why do you want to wear a pithy badge? If the badge reminds the interviewee of a kind of rancour/abomination, your job will be lost straight away. It's best to follow the current rule -wear smart and try your very best.

                Don't do anything risky.

              • No. It makes you look like you should still be school. Show a potential employer that your ready to move from the dorm, and int a professional setting by wearing a suit with no fraternity badge.

              • I wouldn't wear it unless there's some connection to the interviewer or company & the frat. It will seem childish.

              • NO!

              Job Interview Questions: What do I wear on a flight with an immediate subsequent job interview?

              I will be flying to an interview and will not have the opportunity to change before meeting with a potential employer. Under normal circumstances I would wear a suit to an interview, but I definitely don't want it to wrinkle, don't want to look pretentious, etc. Besides that, I do not plan on bringing baggage to hold another outfit. Only my purse and interview portfolio. How can I maintain a high level of professionalism while flying to this interview? Is a skirt going too far?

              Job Interviews -- The Real Reasons Why You Need to Follow Up



              Recommended Answer:
              A nice skirt suit would work well - the skirt is less likely to wrinkle. Carry on a light jacket that works with the skirt to slip into after the flight, you will look quite professional. Wear it onto the plane, slip it off (perhaps over your lap during the flight) and slip back into it after the flight. It will cover any wrinkles you might have on your back from the seat and give you a nice, professional appearance. I'm assuming that you would want to make a very professional appearance for any job that you would fly to interview for.

                Job Interview - Top Tips When Preparing for a Job Interview


                • That really depends on the company and the job. If you're at McDonalds or Walmart, they probably don't care, and are just looking for warm bodies. At a small business of some sort, they probably don't care because they're small, and they're just looking to gauge what you do know. The only time I'd be worried about that sort of thing is at a medium sized company who are looking for passionate people to expand the brand. I don't think this answer really hurt you in the long run.

                • Always, always, go to an interview fully prepared which means you should care enough to do a little research. You probably blew the interview but you can learn from your mistake.

                A Job Interview Without Cold Sweats


                • Even though you have applied to several places yesterday, there is no guarantee that any of these places will hire you period;;;;;; Granted, getting an interview is great, since most people applying will not even get that.

                  My husband who retired after 40 years practicing law, wrote a glowing reference letter, talked to several other lawyers on behalf of his secretary and it still took her 3 months to find another job in a law firm. So she had everything in her favor going in vs other candidates.

                  Most companies today, may have 2 or 3 interviews before they hire anyone. The odds are that in all the places you applied to, there could be up to 100 other people who applied also and would be in the mix of being considered.

                  Your best option is to take the 1st one that offers you a job. Then after you are hired, go after the one that you really want, which might take 6 months or a year before another opportunity comes up.

                  You are assuming that all the places you applied for will offer you a job, which is doubtful. The competition is fierce out there and this is an employer's market.

                  good luck

                • You can't. You're looking for employment, you can't tell an employer to wait for a decision as there are dozens of other people who have probably been considered for the position already. If you get the offer, take it! Do not count on this other law firm until you have received an offer.

                Job Interview Questions: Will I get a job interview?

                I applied at Starbucks. The lady called me back to ask me a few questions about my application. She asked me basic questions like my skills, why I want to work at Starbucks, etc. She then said she had to review other applications and she will call me back. Does it mean I can still get a job interview or was that rejection?

                9 Most Common Job Interview Questions and Answers



                Recommended Answer:
                You may get a job interview and it depends on the other candidates. Whenever you speak with a potential hiring manager, you need to be prepared with a question about when you should expect to hear back. You don't want to appear needy or desperate, but it shows that you are interested in the job and that you want to follow up. You can also ask if it's okay to check back with her in a few days on the next step to work at Starbucks. If it's been a few days or up to a week and you still haven't heard back, take the initiative to go back in and speak to the manager who called you. Hopefully, you know the name of the person who called you. It's important to know the names and correct spelling of anyone you talk to for future thank you notes or follow up.

                Good luck & it this does not pan out, keep looking for other opportunities!

                Job Interview Weaknesses - How to Overcome These Common Job Interview Weaknesses


                • If you don't get a call back, that was very unprofessional of her but you shouldn't worry about it. There should be plenty of other stores in your area where you can apply as well. The barista position is in high demand and Starbucks has a high turnover so don't be discouraged.

                  If you are concerned, definitely follow up with the manager to set your mind at ease.

                Top Job Interview Tips For College Seniors


                • i really need to get my mind out of the gutter......

                • I think it is. I may be prejudiced, but I associate the all-black look with goths, and I associate goths with surly attitudes. Note that once I have the job I wear all black frequently; it's just so easy to pull outfits together that way.

                  Also, you say you plan on wearing a dressy top. It's so easy to step over the line and wear something too fancy for the job. If you would wear it to a cocktail party, don't wear it to the interview. Instead, a white blouse or sweater and black slacks makes you look like a waiter, but that says to the employer, "I'm ready to work."

                  Or wear any other color top. Just, in my opinion, stay away from black.

                  Good luck with the interview.

                3- if you're applying at a store, i don't suggest wearing a suit. You could wear a nice, stylish dress. Or a chic shirt tucked into a plain skirt with gladiator sandals/heels. you could even wear a pair of leggings with it (like this: 4.bp.blogspot.com/_zrXbuBtYK2s/Sw…
                4- if you need to buy new clothes for the interview, Forever XXI is a very stylish and extremely affordable store.

                Job Interview Techniques Tips - What Techniques For Job Interviews Do You Need?


                • Put a clear retainer in your lip (You can find them at most body jewelery stores) you will probably have to get one anyway if you get that job, also, don't go all out on the make up and clothes.
                  They aren't going to hire someone with heavy eyeliner or caked on foundation, try to keep it natural in the work place so you don't freak customers out.

                  I say a nice pair of black slacks along with black heels, and a cute blouse (try not to make too big of a statement with the shirt, nothing too crazy) with a small, dainty necklace.

                • You can never go wrong with a suit. Either long pants or a skirt, with a nice blazer. Decorate the outfit with nice jewelry- earings, big necklace - and take out the lip ring, no offense but that doesn't represent alot of sophistication! I think heels are a must, even if there only a few inches.

                  And please dont mind...but I think you need to take out your lip piercing. Pair this dress with black flats and whatever jewellery you feel like wearing as long as its black and silver.

                • TAKE OUT YOUR LIP PIERCING!

                  read the best answer for this question :D

                • Go to the store you are trying to get a job at, and notice how employees there dress and the general atmosphere of the store. then take that up a notch or two. For example: if the store is casual and employees wear jeans with holes in them, you can wear really nice jeans to the interview. Or, if the store is nice and everyone wears nice jeans or khakis to work, wear dress pants or a skirt.
                  Labels don't matter, you can buy clothes at goodwill and as long as they look good no one cares what brand they are or where they came from.
                  heels are a good way to dress up an outfit regardless of what clothes you are wearing so I would wear heels as long as they are not distracting.
                  As for accessories, notice also what kind of accessories employees there wear. if you see people with piercings working there already, leave the lip ring in. If not, take it out. If they wear lots of dangly earrings or other jewelry, then feel free to accessorize a little for the interview, but don't go over the top.
                  Just keep the focus on making a nice, good impression and looking like someone who could easily adapt to the standards of that store. Then the manager or person interviewing you does not have to use their imagination to figure out whether hiring you could work out or not - they can just "picture" you as one of their employees.

                Recommended Answer:
                I think it would be best to ask. What happens if you get the job, and they see the tattoos and have a policy against them? They would have the right to fire you on the spot, tattoos aren't covered in anti-discrimination laws. Best to ask first.

                • Just how visible are they? If you are dark skinned and the tattoos are dark also, then the interviewer may not make note of them at first glance. I don't think the tattoo policy is particularly strict at Wal-Mart--I've noticed several employees with tats/piercings that other companies would not allow. Don't try too hard to conceal them and if the interviewer mentions anything about it, tell them you are willing to wear some kind of glove to conceal them.

                • Hey!

                  Depending on the quantity you have on your fingers, i would recommend band aids.

                  This might seem silly, but in hindsight, all this could be to somebody is a cut or graze. As i said, this would only work banking on the fact you have a small amount on your fingers.

                  Hope i have helped!

                • I have seen employees at the Wal-Mart in my town with neck and finger tattoos. I am sure you will be fine, but if you want to be sure you can go to the drugstore and get some cheap foundation/concealer that is similar to your skin tone.

                • Just do your very best to make a lot of eye contact and do not look at your hands. Keep your hands away from your face when you are talking and hope they don't notice them.

                • Use foundation/concealer that you'd normally wear on your face. :)

                If that's the reason, the jobs you had (between gaps) were 'career' jobs, and no contradictory information will turn up on a background search, that could work.

                  Job Interview Questions: How should I style my hair for a job interview?

                  I've been called back for a second interview at a conservative financial institution. The interviewer hinted he didn't like my hair at my first interview in a subtle way. I have long thick wavy dark brown hair that's a little frizzy and blonde highlights around my face. I had part of the sides pinned up. It kind of looks from the 80s you could say. If I pull it all back I feel like my nose which is kind of big
                  sticks out. What should I do?

                  How to Prepare for a Job Interview



                  Recommended Answer:
                  How you wore it to the first interview sounds fine and normal to me, so maybe the interviewer is just crazy or something...

                  Maybe you could straighten it or curl it in loose curls since with wavy hair its easy to do both! Or possibly just un-pin the sides and use an anti-frizz serum! A good anti-frizz serum creates miracles! Maybe you looked too business-like or not enough!? Simple is definitely the way to go though!

                  Good luck on next interview!!

                  Recommended Answer:
                  I applied for work experience internship when I was 15 at a local TV station (yeah, I got the job) - I'd heard it was a really casual place so I wore a cute dress and some leggings, which I could probably get away with at my age. It was a pretty casual outfit. But everyone else there was dressed way more casually than me, all in baggy jeans or tracksuits, so I was glad I hadn't overdressed. If you're not sure what to wear go for a happy medium.
