Job Interview Questions: Job interview, over the phone?

So, I have a job interview over the phone (it's a low-end thing), but I've never done a job interview, let alone over the phone. What should I expect? Do you have any tips?

Thanks for any help.

Four Job Interview Mistakes That Can Torpedo Your Chances of Success



Recommended Answer:
Dress smart and try not to pick your nose. Ha.

It'll be okay I'm sure. Just speak clearly and precisely. Listen carefully to whats said. Have some answers already prepared for questions that you know they are going to ask, like work history, why you want to apply etc. Check out the company website, if they have one, so you're armed with some background knowledge about them. That always goes down well, in fact it's a necessity. Should be a breeze.

    Job Interview Questions: How should I bring up in a job interview that I am moving to be in the same city as my longtime boyfriend?

    I am interviewing for the second time with a company and want to mention that I am moving not only for career growth but because of my relationship with my boyfriend of almost five years. I think that a happy home life makes for a better worker and letting them know that I will be committed to the city for multiple reasons would help my chances.
    What suggestions can you give me for bringing this up in a professional way?
    Thanks for your help!

    Recommended Answer:
    If the interviewer asks what ties you have to the city, then you can mention that your boyfriend lives in the city.

    Job Interview Preparation Advice - What Do Interviewers Expect?


    • Lari Lee is correct. It is of no concern why you are moving. The company just wants to know that you are going to be focused on them and what you can do to help them.
      They do not want to know your personal life. Bringing this into the interview will hinder your chances, not help.

    • Have they not asked you why you left your previous job? I thought they ALWAYS asked that. I would insert it there, if they do. If not, for a second interview, there's bound to be some casual chatting near the end, I think I would mention it there. :o)

    • horrible idea to bring up too much of any personal information...

      why would you assume bringing this little tidbit up is a good idea?

    • it is your good thinking about your friend but job is your first aim because you will expand your career and in this way when you will work hard you can choose better method to meet and help them

    Job Interview Questions: What should I wear to this Job interview?

    So I'm not sure if you all know what store K-mart is. (I would compare it to wal-mart, just a smaller version) but I got an interview there. I'm not sure what to wear. Could I wear Jeans? Or would that be too casual? I have a dressy-type shirt (not a button down, just kinda dressy. I usually wear it to interviews. So what would be the proper type of outfit? What would be improper? Anything helps.

    What Colors To Wear To A Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    I would never wear jeans to an interview. Slacks, a nice top, business casual would be fine for this interview. I agree with the previous post, this is your only chance to make a first impression and you need to dress conservatively. Don't dress in anything revealing.

    Ways to Hugely Boost Your Job Interview Success Rate


    • Smart clothing NOT jeans or casual, it may be a chain store but it is still a job interview, 1st impressions etc!...good luck!....

    • I would say something smart. Like trousers (not jeans) with a shirt and jacket. This always makes a good impression. Good luck with your interview xx

    Job Interview Questions: Job Interview: "What would you consider to be your greatest weakness?"?

    What would you say in a job interview when the potential employer asks, "What would you consider to be your greatest weakness?"

    Mistakes to Avoid When Answering Tricky Job Interview Questions



    Recommended Answer:
    ok... so the question is basically loaded. you should never say "I don't have any" it's like saying "I have no humility". I would say "do you mean what am I trying to improve?" "well I noticed I am sometimes too hard on myself" or "I am trying to improve my listening skills. I want to be a better listener" whatever... "greatest weakness" is a question to test your ability to self analyze.

    The 11 Cardinal Mistakes of Job Interviews


    • I agree with laurie

      I would add, it is helpful for any answer to this question be your lack of control of your desire to work hard, uncontrollable desire for the company to succeed which means you succeed, and etc.. in your words about your character..

    • i would say fear of letting the company or whatever job i'm applying for down.. which i won't btw.....
      or will I??? *wink*
      lol xD

    • "That I don't ever want to work somewhere where they still ask this pointless question during an interview."

    • Say youre a perfectionist :D :D :D
      amazing isnt it

I have never had any "work" experience so they are not gonna ask me about that. But what type of questions will they ask me?? Should i go formal or semiformal?? Any tips?? Is there someone who has gone to a fast food restaurant interview themselves that can help me out??

    What to Say in a Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    Show them you have the energy and people skills it will take to do the job. Be prepared to work nights, week-ends and holidays and be a little early for the interview. Be neat and clean, no excess jewelry or nail polish. You should look as ordinary as possible. It's not about you, it's about being able to work as a team player, follow instructions and give great customer service.

      Job Interview Questions: What should I wear to a job interview at Palm Beach tanning salon?

      I have a job interview today and need some suggestions on what would be appropriate to wear. Its a casual job at a tanning salon so I don't want to overdress or look bad and underdress. I appreciate everyones help, 10 points for best answer!! Thanks

      Job Interview Techniques



      Recommended Answer:
      No matter what the job, you want to make sure you look presentable. Do you have a pair of black dress pants? If you pair the pants with just about anything, you will be fine. If you just have a plain t-shirt, that would work. If you want to go a bit dressier, find a button up blouse.
      You can't really overdress for an interview unless you wear a suit and tie for a job like a tanning salon. They will want to see that you care enough about the interview to dress nice. Stay away from jeans (including jean skirts) and anything with holes in it. Make sure your butt crack or cleavage are not showing no matter what you wear.
      Good luck on your interview! Smile and be honest. :)

      Job Interview Tips to Help You Wow Your Interviewers and Land the Job


      • I would see who works there and then dress as close to there style as possible,youll then appear as though you already fit in,might increase your chances in the interview.Unless of course there strutting about in bikini's or uniforms,i dont know if salons have a uniform which obviously you wont have.For instance if they say wore a white nurses type uniform,you could then mirror this with a white dress.
        Good Luck

      • I think you should go in some skinny jeans with a t-shirt and jacket. it's very casual and it's not over or underdressing.

      • i think you should go dressed as a pirate..eye patch, parrot, etc the whole set-up.
