Can you give me an example of when you have seen a problem through to resolution?
Can you give me an example of how you have dealt with a difficult situation?
Why do you want the job?

Job Interviewing Tips - Success Through a Thank-You-Letter


  • They might ask you questions about your previous jobs, why you want to work for Starbucks, or what you think your positive and/or negative qualities are.
    You could ask them about the pay (at the end of the interview, if you don't know already), and what benefits are included (if you are a full time employee).

  • This is easily googlable "interview" "job" "Starbucks" (or some variation of this) - because I once interviewed for a barista job and prepped this way. It is easy to find.

    "Tell me about yourself" is a common question. The answer should be job-related.

    "Why do you want to work at Starbucks?"

Job Interview Tips You Can Use to Ace the Interview and Land the Job


  • Be cheerful and positive. No one likes a gloomy and solemn customer service representative. Unless you're working for a mortuary, I suppose. Try not to dwell on negative past experiences. Focus on your strengths as much as possible, and really let them know why you want to work in customer service. Mentioning that you are all about helping the customers is key. Mention it more than once, in different ways. When they know you are focused on helping customers, they will want to hire you. If you're just in it 'because it's a job and I need the money', you're not in it for the right reasons.

  • First thing you want to do is to chill out. If you get too anxious you won't be able to think straight and answers any questions.

    Interviewers are usually looking for 3 things. They want to find people who are passionate, positive, and normal. So if you just go into the interview with a smile and act like your normal self you'll do just fine!

    If you're looking for more help check out...

  • Just try not to be yourself,lol.

    Edit: Seriously, be confident and smile lots if it's for customer service.

    Edit: You don't have much of a sense of humor for someone with the name "LOL". Maybe you need to lighten up for the interview. I'm referring to the thumbs down you gave me.

  • stay positive and be confident during the interview.

  • Answer every question with an Indian accent

Job Interview Questions: I forgot to send a thank-you note after a job interview. Is this bad?

I had a job interview two weeks ago that went GREAT. However, I forgot to send a thank you note. Will this hurt me? I was the first person interviewed and the person was just beginning their employee search so I think that is why it is taking so long for them to get back to me. But will the lack of thank you note hurt?

Expert Job Interview Advice From Someone Doing the Hiring



Recommended Answer:
They have other thank-you notes by now so you need to be different than the pack. Send a note saying thank you for not being upset by no thank-you card. :> They will remember you, which is exactly what you want.

Assorted Job Interview Techniques


  • an e-mail, note bother work fine but just do ti one time...otherwise you will seem desperate. but NEVER make a phone call then you seem annoying. So If you forgot id say get it done no later then 2 days after the interview 3 at the very most.

  • I agree with the others, you can still send one now.

  • Send one now, better late than never. It will help them remember you anyway.

  • why would u send a thank u note?

Job Interview Questions: Teenage Job Interview Attire?

Hey, I was wondering what I should wear to a job interview. It's just for a part time job at a grocery store, so I thought dressing completely formal might make me look really out of place (the people who work there usually wear slacks and a collared shirt), but at the same time, I don't want to look too casual. I was going to wear a pair of somewhat dark (not baggy, clean, no styled holes, etc.) blue jeans, and a long sleeved, black, collared shirt. Do you think the jeans are too casual? Blehhhh. xO

The Proper Instruments For Passing the Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Well, jeans are usually a no no. Stick with the shirt and go with some slacks.
But, you're right about not being totally formal. No tie or blazer or anything. Make sure you are clean and well groomed and everything. But do not load up in cologne or any other smelly stuff.

Good luck kid! :)

Job Interview Advice - How to Properly Prepare for a Job Interview and Get Hired


  • i actually disagree with everyone else. i think dark blue jeans and a collared shirt would be perfect. i'm not sure about black though... the reason i disagree is that at a grocery store they want you to look like you can look well groomed but still get your hands dirty. if you look like you are going to the prom they will think your mother got you this job and you lack experience. its always good to dress up one level from what you will be wearing at work. khaki is always fine though no matter what the occassion. so maybe try to match the pants that are typical with your new workplace and wear a nicer shirt. that way you will look like you could jump in and start working immediately and you still look professional like they are lucky to have you

  • Ok if you wear jeans they will definitely not hire you. That is not prefessional. Wear exactly what the employees are wearing. A polo shirt and black pants.

  • You pretty much answered your question when you said that "the people who work there usually wear slacks and a collared shirt."

    Jeans are usually a no-no for job interviews, and you definitely don't want to dress more casual than the people who work there.

    Wear the collared shirt, but pair it with slacks instead.
