Answering Interview Questions - How to Make the Right Impression in Your Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
It has probably been too long. If they ask you to call at the end of the month, and you don't, they think you won't come to work when they ask you to come in. I like to think of it as a test the employer is doing.

Yes, you should have called, but its a little late. Try another place that is hiring, but this time, if they ask you of anything, you should do it if you would like to be hired.

    Job Interview Questions: How to a job interview?

    Ok i just applied for my first job at burger king. Ive applied to many jobs before but have never gotten a response. I heard After you apply wait a week, then call them and keep calling them until you get an interview. Is this true? Im 16 by the way

    Tips For Job Interviews - Information You Need to Know



    Recommended Answer:
    NO. That is one sure way to annoy your potential employer. Pestering rarely lands anyone a job. Wait until they call you. If you MUST know, you can call and ask about the status of your application ONCE. If they give you the run around, just move on and apply elsewhere. If they haven't had a chance to look at it yet, give them some more time. Certainly don't keep calling every single week. You may never get an interview, and continually calling them will likely drive them away for good.
    If you do land an interview, then it is all right to follow up weekly, under certain circumstances. If they say they'll call you next Tuesday, and Tuesday comes and goes, give them one more week and then call them to ask where you stand. If they don't know yet, and don't say when they'll get back to you, then call again in a week. If you have to call more than a couple times, move on. Don't harass them. If they really want you, you'll know it - THEY will call you.
    I know job hunting can be like this weird dating game where there's all these rules about who calls who and when etc., but it does get easier over time and you'll get the hang of it after a few years experience in the job world. Good luck.

      5 Helpful Rules to Successful Job Interviewing



      Recommended Answer:
      They will ask you......
      1. why do you want to work here and don't say cuz you really need the job for college. say that you shop there all the time and you really like it there
      2. have you ever been a cashier before and you will probably say no but say something to counteract that negative like you are really good with money or you taught your little brother how to handle money or count change or something like that
      3. are you looking for part time or full time, seasonal of permanent
      4. have you ever worked with the public before and don't say "no" even if the answer is "no" because even though you have never had a paid job working with the public you have to show you are qualified so say "yes" I have worked with my church group or I worked at a car wash with the public raising money to go on a trip in high school or tell them you worked with the public selling raffle tickets or volunteering at the donut stand at the fair or anything to show you can work with the public
      5. have you ever had any conflict working with the public and if the answer is "yes" then make sure you qualify it by saying "but it ended well because I______" and then fill in the blank on how you saved the day.
      6. what are your good qualities and your worst quality?
      7. have you ever had to work with a team before and don't say "no" follow the rules for #4 above
      8. why aren't you working at your old job anymore? and don't bad mouth your old employer.
      9. if I called your reference what would they say about you?
      10. if you were asked to do something that wasn't your job what would you do?
      11. if you saw one of your fellow employees stealing something what would you do?

      Good luck! Follow all the rules about good eye contact, shake hands, smile, be ready to answer questions, thank the interviewer, follow up with them in person if possible. BE CONFIDENT and most important, have faith in yourself and the man upstairs. It will all be ok. So glad you are going to college. Good job!

      Job Interview Preparation - Ease the Stress of Interviewing


      • An interview will usually cover your past, present and future. They may not phrase questions in exactly the same way, but those are the best questions to prepare for.

        Walk me through your resume:

        Talk about your past experience and highlight points relevant to the job you're applying for.

        Why do you want to work here?

        Talk about why you're interested in the job and how your past experience has prepared you for it. Discuss what experiences you hope to get out of the job. For a cashier position, you might say it will help you gain customer service experience and help you work with people.

        Where do you see yourself in 5 years:

        Talk about what you want to do with your career and how the current position will help you achieve that.

        You probably won't have a difficult time with this interview, but it would be worth practicing for it. Find a partner to practice some of these questions with, or look some practice questions online. Here's one site with some practice questions. Not all questions will be relevant, but it's good to practice.

        Job Interview Questions: How would you answer the question "why did you choose to apply for this job" in a job interview?

        i heard that this question is asked alot in job interviews and i really dont know how to answer this. I have a pizza hut job interview and there is a big possibility this will be asked and truthfully my answer to this would be "just to make some money", but i know better than to say this. I need to BS my way through this question, so what should i say?

        Tips to a Job Interview Presentation to Impress Your Hiring Manager



        Recommended Answer:
        This is the route I would go:

        " I chose this job because I think highly of this organization. I think you produce a quality product for consumers and nobody I know has ever had a bad experience at a Pizza Hut establishment. I enjoy dealing with people and I know that customer service is important in this line of work. I believe that I would be an asset to this organization if you give me the opportunity to prove it to you."

        BAM...job in the bag : )

        Job Interview Skills: How to Manage a Bad Interview!


        • First and foremost you want to show that you're responsible. So it's ok to say that you want to make some money - because that's truthful. However, there is a way to say it that also sounds like you are responsible. I think you could say that you don't expect your parents to pay for your college education and that you intend to get a job to save money towards your education. Additionally, it might be nice to say something about how you have always liked the pizza at Pizza Hut.

          I recall my interview at Pizza Hut and I remembering the manager asking me why I wanted to work there and I told them because I wanted to be able to answer the phone and say "regular price, 4 bucks, 4 bucks, 4 bucks." That was the special offer that they had on a TV commercial at the time. It made the manager laugh and allowed me to relax and not be so nervous. So, it's also ok to be funny during the interview as long as it's related to the job your applying for.

          It may also be wise to somehow share how you like people and are outgoing because you will handle customers a lot during your work - even if you're not a waitress. The cooks and dishwashers that I worked with at Pizza Hut also answered the phones and took orders.
