Job Interviewing Skills: Increase Job Offers With Effective Communication!



Recommended Answer:
Ahhh yes great question:

What are your 3 biggest strengths? For this one I would suggest you say Multi tasking, Calm under pressure, and a hard worker - customers will expect these 3 things from you

What is your biggest weakness? For this one I would suggest you say something bad that's also a strength such as I work too hard (for this is a weakness in that you don't just work you work too hard but it's also a strength because your ready for any challenge. Another response is I am sometimes too enthusiastic but it's a strength because it's contagious

Why should I hire you over someone else? For this one I would suggest you say I'm loyal, easy to manage, honest, and hard working. The reason for this is managers eat this up, they like to be in charge but they also like someone they can manage.

If you were an animal which one would you be? This one is rarely asked but it might be, think of an animal that has the following qualities : Hard worker, brave, resourceful, team player loyal, etc. Some great answers are an ant, an eagle, beaver (don't laugh), dog, or a cheetah

Tell me a time you provided great customer service. Okay they may ask this, even though it's your first job. Try starting with helping others, charities, etc.

What makes you a great team player? For this one I suggest you think back to a club you were once in high school or outside on a baseball team or other sport or an academic team. If you don't have those go for how you help your family.

As for your atire, Dress to Impress. Go all out. NO NOT ARMANI :) but definately BLUE dress shirt, TIE, Black pants, Black shoes. The reason for blue is it's a positive color and says alot about you. RED usually evokes anger. Plus, as a future store manager (which is what goes on in their minds) they don't want someone leading the store who doesn't even take his/her appearance seriously.

IMPORTANT - remain calm, picture this person as just another person, it's like talking to a teacher or a friend. Don't be nervous, no matter how needy you are for cash, just focus on being articulate, clear, and intelligent. Don't say UM or EH phrase complete sentences and you'll rock this.

Oh and don't let anyone tell you good luck, in my opinion the word luck makes you feel like you'll lose so just keep in mind Do a great job and know many people have been in your situation at least 3 times in their lives so just know you are not alone. It's already over just go it my friend. Just do it.

    Telephone Job Interview Challenges - Preparation Is the Key!


    • Dress nice, do not wear blue jeans. Always dress nicely when going to a job interveiw, no matter what the jjob is, you want to be taken seriously.
      Also when you are called in, relax, breathe, everything will be alright, it will not be the end of the world if you do not get handed any papers on your way out.
      Try to keep your posture nice as well.
      Then the most important thing is, be yourself right from the start, since you cannot hide your true personality for long on the job.
      When they were interviewing me, I let my jokester side out. Since i knew I could not be happy in the job if i wasn't able to joke around.
      Good luck, hope you get the job :)

      EDIT: Also they do not ask hard questions, or at least the man who interviewed me didn't he just asked what I was interested in doing in the future, and if I could life 30lbs, stand for eight hours, etc

    Four Job Interview Mistakes That Can Torpedo Your Chances of Success



    Recommended Answer:
    1- take out your lip ring
    2- you don't need to wear heels. wear some type of sandal (like gladiator sandals) if you're not comfortable with heels.
    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.

    and relax. hope this helps :)

    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.

    Job Interview Questions: Horrible job interview- how long is a job interview supposed to be?

    I was really nervous at my job interview I was shaking and I couldn't smile that much. I am really shy and bad at job interviews and I feel horrible because I feel like I screwed that one up. How long is a job interview supposed to be?

    Top 7 Ways to Prepare For a Successful Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    Try not to feel horrible - think of it as a learning experience and move on to the next one. The length can vary depending on the job and what qualifications they are looking for. You need help to overcome your shyness. Is there a close friend or family member that you could do some practice interviews with? I used to be very shy also and overcame it just by getting out in the world and working my first job as a waitress. I remember being terrified at first! One trick that may help you in an interview is to "pretend" that you are confident, it's all an acting job. Before you know it you will start feeling that way. Another thing that helps is to know that many times the interviewers are nervous also! Conducting interview also takes skill and practice.They have all been on the other side of the desk a few times, so many are understanding about you being nervous. Please see the link below also for more tips.
