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

Job Interview Questions: Is this a real job interview or is it a scam?

Should I go?
I got an email from someone who just goes by Joe and they asked me to meet at some office, which today I drove by to make sure I knew how to get there and it's a house. The interview is scheduled at 3pm so it's daylight hours. I don't remember applying for this job so I asked when I replied to the email and he said that my resume was forwarded to him by a company that I did in fact apply to about a year ago. Should I go or is this a scam?

Special Job Interview Considerations

Recommended Answer:
I wouldn't go if I were you. You drove by his "office" and it was actually a house...? This sounds kind of sketchy. Maybe try getting his phone number and set up some sort of phone interview? I don't know if that would be possible or if it would be a good idea to ask about if it is indeed legit. I agree with the person who answered before I did. If you aren't even in the market for a job then I wouldn't even go. I would still be worried about some stranger having your information.

• I would be careful. Are you actually looking for a job at this moment in time?
  
  If not, don't go. It may be a scam.
  
  If you do decide to go, get someone to sit in the car outside and watch out for you. Have an agreed time and plan as to how this person will get you out if you are not out within that time scale. He could plead some emergency or another meeting or something. If you are happy tell this friend that you will be a few minutes and will be along. That way the interviewer will know that there is someone keeping tabs on you.


• Google the name of the company and "complaints" to see if anything comes up. Look up several pages.
  Call the better business bureau. The number will be in the telephone book, or you can find it online.I would NOT go, or at the very least have a male friend accompany you (not a female friend.)
  
  It seems very fishy to me!


• Stay far away! This is a scam and you are being set up.
  
  There are several possibilities and here are two:
  This man has been stalking you already and wants to get you alone so you can "fall in love" with him.
  This is some sort of scam to get women alone for God Knows What.
  
  With the rise in human trafficking lately as well as the rise in rape, you may want to print that email off and take it to the police. Also, block this creep from your email. His next step may be stalking.
  
  Again: and I am putting in caps for emphasis:
  
  PRINT THE EMAIL AND TURN IT IN TO THE POLICE! Let them handle the creep. Who knows, you may help to snag a serial rapist.


• I would reply to the email. Let him know that you are interested in employment. Ask him to please confirm the name of the company, his name and title and the title of the position for which you will be interviewing,
  
  Be very polite in case this is legitimate, but if you don't get satisfactory answers to those simple questions I would not go. I would be tempted to check out the name of the business on your state's Department of Revenue website to verify that it is indeed a licensed business. And even if everything checks out, take a big burly man to the interview with you. He can wait in the lobby or seating area but make his presence known.
  
  By the way, my spouse runs a business out of a residential home (no one lives there - the business is just in a home). In 16 years she has only had to hire three times (she is a great boss) but every time she does people always think it's sketchy since it's in a house.


• Did you respond to an ad on craigslist? if so, it's most likely a scam.
  
  the house may be empty...maybe he doesn't really live there. i've heard of this kind of stuff where people set up interviews or act like they are going to buy/sell something on craigslist (or similar web sites) and they break into an empty house and rob/rape/harm the person.
  
  this is one interview i'd skip out on if i were you.


• LISTEN to us...SCAM! Report this activity to the Police Department immediately. Even if you do not go, you may save someone else from being harmed. Or, worse. No reputable company witholds information about who they are, what the job entails, and holds interviews in a home. Unless it is a pyramid type business. I would be very very careful...


• These days, you can't be too careful. Are you looking for a job? Even if you are, I would avoid this offer and just reply to him that you're not interested in the job offer. It definitely sounds shady. Keep searching.


• BIG red flag, an interview at a house. Def do NOT go, not worth it. He could easily have found your info and is a liar, in any case, any interview at any house whether at night or daytime, is very suspect and potentially very dangerous.


• Um, hun use your brain lol. This is clearly a scam. Even if it wasn't, any job offer that has you doubting it's legitimacy and asking Y!A if you should go is a red flag NOT to go.
  
  Be careful!

Recommended Answer:
it may be helpful to provide some form of your work and expertise related to your internship.jobsearch.about.com/od/interviewq…
Tough question No. 6: "Tell me about the worst boss you ever had."
Suggested answer: "While none of my past bosses were awful, there are some who taught me more than others did. I've definitely learned what types of management styles I work with the best."

Tough question No. 7: How would others describe you?
Suggested answer: "My former colleagues have said that I'm easy to do business with and that I always hit the ground running with new projects. I have more specific feedback with me, if you'd like to take a look at it."

Tough question No. 9: "If you could choose any company to work for, where would you go?" Suggested answer: "I wouldn't have applied for this position if I didn't sincerely want to work with your organization." Continue with specific examples of why you respect the company with which you are interviewing and why you'll be a good fit.

Tell me about yourself. www.gowrikumar.com/interview/inde…
"I was born in Canton, Ohio and attended Lincoln High School. Ever since I was a teenager, I tinkered with computers. It was my hobby, my passion, and my way of learning. Like most kids I enjoyed computer games. When my folks gave me a computer as a reward for making honor roll my sophomore year, I mastered DOS, Windows, and WordPerfect within six months. I then went on to teach myself programming basics.
By the time I graduated high school, I knew I wanted to study programming. From that point on, everything fell into place. My life revolved around computing. By my junior year at Syracuse, I decided I wanted to work for a major software manufacturer. That is why I had an internship last summer at FastTrack Software.
I now want to work for a major player so I can be at the forefront of breaking trends and new technology. When my college roommate told me about his start in your department, I hounded him until he helped me get a referral, which brought me here today.
I am prepared to answer any questions you may have about my education and experience."Where do you see yourself five years from now?
"In five years I hope to be working with an employer in an increasingly responsible position, that enables me to utilize my talents and work closely with my colleagues in solving important problems. I see myself taking on new and exciting challenges in an enjoyable environment and hopefully this will be with your company."

We all have weaknesses. What are some of your major weaknesses?
"I have a real weakness for chocolate that tends to go right to my waist! I'm watching my calories carefully these days!" or "I've never been good with accounting. I'm glad this job doesn't involve accounting." Or "I have a tendency to take on too much on my own. I am working on this by delegating more."

What type of decisions do you have difficulty making?"I sometimes have difficulty choosing between two equally good ideas

What's your dream job?"My dream job would include all of the responsibilities and duties in this position you're trying to fill
What are your strengths?
"My strengths are my communication skills. As a result of this I'm able to work well with technical and non technical individuals because I'm able to convey my messages precisely. and I can usually win people over to my point of view. Also, I have good judgment about people and an intuitive sense of their talents and their ability to contribute to a given problem.

Tell me about a time you didn't perform to your capabilities.
"The first time I had to give a presentation to our board, I failed to anticipate some of their questions. I was unprepared for anything other than what I wanted to report. Now my director and I brainstorm all the what-ifs in advance."

How do you regroup when things haven't gone as planned?
"I start by trying to imagine the worst possible outcome; then I back up and identify precautions I can take to avoid that scenario. In this way I usually end up with a result close to the original goal. The training example I described earlier is proof of that skill."

How do you manage your work week and make realistic deadlines?
"I always reserve two hours of dead time every day to handle any unanticipated problems that may occur. I used to plan for eight or nine hours of project time, but now I find that I'm able to manage my own projects, as well as whatever my boss and staff need from me."

What personal skill or work habit have you struggled to improve?
"I had to learn to say no. I used to be helpful to the point that other staff abused my goodwill. Now I offer to help by countering with something I'd like help on in return. On balance I believe the trade-off is more equitable, and cooperation in our office has improved over time."

Know the Job Interview Answers

Recommended Answer:
I interviewed there once. I wore black pants, black heeled granny boots, and a button down sweater. I did get the job, but I turned it down. They were very hazy about the shifts. When I asked which shift it would be, they said I had to work whichever shift they wanted. So it could have been day, then overnight, then night, etc. I wanted a solid schedule.

Job Interview Guide: How to Answer Job Interviews and Land on Your Dream Job

• I'm 14 myself. And I honestly, I haven't gotten a job interview yet. But, I know just what to wear. (:
  First, never wear jeans, sweats, shorts etc. It just makes you seem like you don't really care about the job.
  Wear dress pants and a cute blouse, and a pair of cute shoes. Since you're getting an interview there, you don't want to wear anything to dressy. But like I said, dress pants a cute blouse and some nice shoes would work.
  Good luck, with your interview. (:


• be yourself, they'll appreciate that! if not, just smart casual.
