Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview for a nanny job tomorrow....?

I really want this job. It is not only to take care of kids but to assist their mother with things such as paying bills and running errands. Aside from talking about my experience with kids, my being CPR and First Aid Certified, and my clean record, can anyone offer me any tips to possibly help with me getting this job? It's good paying and I'm really looking forward to my interview!

Job Interviewing Skills: Making The Small Differences Count!



Recommended Answer:
Try to hit it off with the mom. She doesn't want someone she doesn't get along with around her kids and acting as her personal assistant. You sound friendly, so play that up. Professional is good in terms of being reliable, but you also need to show a warmer, more emotional side that will help you connect with the kids. You're being hired to be an assistant mother. Act maternal.

Job Interview Skills: Upgrade Your Performance!


  • Talk about your hobbies, especially ones in which you could include the children. For instance, tell them you enjoy going to the beach or park to play ball, or that you take frequent trips to the library. If your hobbies are limited to watching TV and playing video games, I'd omit that. Good luck!

  • If you have a previous positive work history I would talk about that and what your long term life goals are, show you have ambition

  • Take references with you- preferrably not from family members- that you've worked for.
    Dress professionally. You don't need a business suit, but you don't want to show up in jeans and a t shirt either. Be conservative in your dress.
    Be upfront and honest in answering questions.
    Be positive and if the kids are there greet them. Ask their names and show interest.

The Job Interview Process - What to Expect


  • Only if they are considering hiring you. If they are, yes, you will be drug tested.

  • Most banks would drug test as a condition of hiring.

  • Would you want junkies handling large sums of cash if you were a bank? Of course they drug test.

Job Interview Questions: Would you lie in a job interview to get a job?

I told him the truth... that I'd be leaving for college next month... and he told me he was looking for someone long term as his daughters are off to college as well. I've been job hunting for 2 months and this was my big chance and I just had to tell the truth. My parents are going to KILL me.

So what about you? Would you lie? Or have you ever lied?

Recommended Answer:
No, you'll just have to deal with not having a job. It's only a month, you'd maybe make 500 dollars anyways.

Answer Any Job Interview Question and Get Hired


  • I'd never lie.. but, simply just stretch the truth as far as possible..
    For example, a simple typing for the print media, would change into having "experienced many aspects of the advertising world"..:P

  • Lying about not being available for more than a month? No way. It's a small world and people find out about that stuff.

  • I don't knw if I'd lie on your case, but I sure as hell will lie about my resume when job hunting.

  • To get a job? Never.

  • Ya

Job Interview Questions: How do I explain unemployment gaps in a job interview?

I plan on saying "i was very selective, and not looking for a job but rather a career." Any thoughts?

Appearance Matters in Job Interviewing



Recommended Answer:
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: I'm afraid to tell people about my job interview in case I don't get the job?

    I have a job interview with Google next week (via phone), and I'm really nervous and would love some guidance and support from my family. However, I'm too scared to tell them about it in case I don't get the job. I guess I'm just one of those people that's really reserved and easily embarrassed, so I'll feel really stupid in front of everyone if they all know I failed. Is this a normal feeling? What should I do?

    Job Interview Answers That Lead to Success



    Recommended Answer:
    Even if you don't get the job your family will probably be proud of you for trying so I say there's no good reason not to tell them. Not getting the job doesn't mean you are a failure. Often in life we have a few false starts on the way to success.

    And maybe you'll get the job so any embarrassment would be a moot point.

    Job Interview Attire - How to Choose the Right Career Clothes For Your Job Interview


    • That's a completely normal feeling. You're worried that they'll view you as a failure if you don't get it, right? Well think about it this way: their support could help you feel more calm and confident when you take the interview. Say you take it and don't tell them, and sadly don't get it, then what would you do then? It'd be much better to tell them. Since they're your family and you feel that they could give you guidance and support, they understand. They know how wonderful you are, and won't judge you if you don't get the job. During a recession, it's very hard to get a job, so many people have to go through with this. But, don't worry about it before you go in! Get the guidance/support you need, and be confident. Confidence is key after all.

      --Good luck!--

    • well, i dont tell people beforehand either as i find it kind of jinxes it

    Job Interview Questions: Would you consider these hard job interview questions?

    I'm 16 and had my 1st job interview at barnes and noble. I tried to prepare but some of the questions threw me off and seemed kind of hard for the kind of position.
    When was a time you had to learn fast and then utilize those skills?
    When was a time you were given an opportunity at ran with it?
    There was more but I forgot.

    Job Interviews Questions - To Ask Or Not to Ask



    Recommended Answer:
    No - they are pretty standard. The interviewer was probably looking to see how you dealt with the questions as much as what you answered i.e. what did you think learning quickly meant and how could learning be used, what would you think was an opportunity and what would you make of it.

    How to Display Enthusiasm at a Job Interview


    • you are very young to work,i don't know what position you apply for,
      first,you should know the work position,then know what skills you'll need for it,
      then estimate how much time you'll need for it.
      I think you would ask elder people beside you,maybe they'll give you much better sugguestion.
      Thanks

    • These are questions to measure the level of your maturity and responsibility. They aren't hard but you should think ahead on the answers as a lot of information has to be recollected. I advice you to practice answering this kind of questions.
