Recommended Answer:
First of all I write the questions I think they'll say and I write an answer on paper. If you write it down you can use big words and its easier to memorize. Second the most difficult question that they always tend to ask is when they say "So so and so, tell me about yourself" that's when you sell yourself. In one paragraph how can you make yourself awesome. I think about my personality and how I like my job and I'll say some thing like"Well I enjoy working in a fast paced environment, I am organized both at home and at work and I love to challenge myself." So it kinda paints a picture of my personality and strong points. Another tough question is the "what are your strengths and weaknesses" I find it easier to have your weakness compliment your strength. I.E. my strength is I like to set goals and push myself. My weakness is I beat myself up when I don't achieve them. So it doesn't seem too bad. They're gonna ask you questions like "what was a time when you needed to solve a problem" and "what did you like best and least about these jobs" "what is something you did really well" and "what is something you did not so well" brainstorm and think of anything from work, scchool,bor volunteer work. And above all DON'T LIE! Dress nice, smilebcheerfully, and keep your hands in your lap. And make eye contact... if that intimidates you like it does me look between their eyes when nerves. That's all my wisdom... hope it helps. ]ood luck!

    Job Interview Questions: What answers should i say in a job interview?

    When the ask what my weakness is? Also, I have a year gap of unemployment what can I say to explain that and also what to say why I quit a job?

    Job Interview: Are You Sending Red Flags And Eliminating Yourself?



    Recommended Answer:
    These are questions you can answer yourself, but I'll give some generic advice.

    My greatest weakness is my 10-Key. But then, say you're working on improving it. Like me, I have increased my speed from 6000 KPH to over 12500 KPH, since being laid off. There you go, a weakness was stated, but it shows that it's being worked on.

    Always be honest about your employment history. If you're asked how to explain your year-long unemployment, explain that you quit. But then say why you quit immediately afterward because interviewers don't want to think for you, they will likely want to know, and then explain some things you've been doing since you quit, like improving your skills, or networking, or traveling Europe, or something.

    Here you can lie a little bit, like saying you wanted to explore other opportunities because you felt it was a dead-end job and wanted to further your career, or that the corporate culture wasn't for you and that's why you applied to the company you're having an interview with.

    How to Succeed at Your Job Interview


    • tell them that ur biggest weakness is that u need to ask ppl on yahoo answers what to say at an interview

    • this is actually a great question for you! It gives you another opportunity to spin it to make a strength. Such as "I am a perfectionist so i take great pride in my work It is sometimes hard for me to delegate these jobs to others. Of course interviewers have heard this one a thousand times. another way to handle this questions is to come up with a weakness that does not apply to the job you are a interviewing for. Something like "I am a poor speller and deoend on spell check a lot. Or I am not that great with math and depend on my calc a lot. something like this. I recommend spinning it to a strength but that will require a lot of creativity and careful planning or it can backfire on you.

    I had one at coles, and I got the job. I answered the "why did you want a job at coles" question with: I have never had a job before and I am looking for a challenge and a way to achieve new goals. Explain how you think the company is a trusted one with reputation and recognition. Say you want to challenge yourself. I did, and they looked impressed. Coles is awsome, apply there.

    Prepare for a Great Job Interview With These Questions and Answers



    Recommended Answer:
    Well you only applied on Friday and it is Tuesday now and there was a holiday as well. No place is required to interview you. Hiring minors under 16 also require stricter work regulations. Most of the time workers under 16 have to leave at 7pm. So, if they are looking to hire, they might need people to work later. Just give it a week and then call them on Friday. Following up on an application looks really good. Good luck! :)

    • of course. no one is required to interview you.

    • They can choose not to interview you for any reason they want...not just your age (i.e., if the manager saw you and you had piercings and he hated piercings, he doesn't have to interview you).

    • Just call them now.

      I hire people all the time and I really don't have the time to call everyone I see. But I don't mind if they call me to find out if I'm going to put them to work or not.

    • 2 weeks, but this normally means that they probably have enough resumes or they found somebody. I agree with the other person, u should contact them and try.
