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

Keys to Successful Employment - Professional Job Interview Tips



Recommended Answer:
Yes take a resume if you have one. Dress respectable and don't just show up in tennies and a t-shirt. I would expect that they will just ask you questions about how you handle fast paced situations, can you multi-task, how would you handle someone yelling at your... also probably ask about your math skills (cash register), basic questions really.

2 Simple Steps to Crushing Your Competition During Your Job Interview


  • In the interview they give you a test first. You need to eat 30 pieces of fried chicken consisting of legs, thighs, and breasts in 10 minutes, if you fail to then you can't have the job. Personally I think that is ridiculous, but I did it because I really wanted the part time job too when I was 15. Then they ask you several questions like " what would you do if a customer wasn't happy with their food?" And you need to accept that you will show up on time. Then they give you instructions on what you will do when you start. the interview will last about 30 minutes. I guess all you need to bring is pretty much an empty stomach so that you can finish the food.

  • I would have a resume if you have any previous working experience. I would even throw in babysitting, Hobbies, goals and interests. They will see that you are an organized and motivated person.
    Good luck!

  • Bring your resume, some references and any key certificates you might have that show qualifications or how responsible & trustworthy you are.

    Also remember to clear your nails & teeth before you go.

Job Interview Questions: Job interview while employed?

I have a job interview today at the movie theaters and was offered a seasonal cashier's position at sears about a week ago. If all goes well and I end up getting offered the movie theater job, what should i do? If the movie theater job is permanent and not seasonal, I would prefer to have something I can be sure will be more long term. Should i let the manager know? Also, I haven't started at Sears yet, im still waiting to get a call for the orientation.

Mistakes to Avoid When Answering Tricky Job Interview Questions



Recommended Answer:
If you are hired at the theater you should call the manager at Sears and thank them for the job offer. Inform them that you have since found a permanent job and appreciate that they need help and wanted to let them know you won't be attending orientation. This shows that you are serious about work and have a good work ethic. If things don't work out you may need to apply at Sears in the future. Its always better to leave things on a good note.
Congrats on the new job.

A Job Interview Guide for Starters


  • if you get the theatre position before you start at sears, just don't accept the orientation and move on. if after you start at sears, tell them that you have accepted a permanent position elsewhere as far in advance as possible.

Job Interviewing Techniques - 8 Steps for Successful Interviews



Recommended Answer:
If you aren't showing, don't say anything. They will most likely not hire you. It is illegal for them to do so but you can't prove that is why you didn't get the job. If you are showing, good luck. It may be rough. I would wait a couple months at least to say anything if you did get the job, unless you start showing and it is obvious.

    Job Interview Questions: On a job interview for a higher end professional job, would a misdemeanor that I got when I was 15 appear?

    If I were to get a job interview for a higher end, professional job, would a minor misdemeanor that I got when I was under 18 appear on my background check, and would I have to say that I had a past criminal offense if they ask?

    Thanks.

    The Job Interview Technique That Will Blow Away the Competition



    Recommended Answer:
    Very very doubtful that they will find out about it.
    If they do and they ask, you can decide then if you want the job enough to tell them or you want to withdraw your application.

      Job Interview 101


      • Hey I'm 17 too! hey hun don't stress too much! wear something semi formal..you don't have to look like you work at an office! well wear something that you feel comfortable in..but something that is presentable! good luck on the interview by the way! i'm sure you'll do great! =) <3 xx

      • try not to look too formal, its not an office interview after all,

        maybe a skinny jeans, with nice top and a jacket with some flowerr attached to it- stylish but not too casual nor too formal.

      • For him:

        trousers, shirt long sleeves,don't put too much of perfume, gel or cap

        For her;
        skirt not too short (or trousers),no leggings if u'r wearing skirts(shave ur legs),blouse not too heavy I mean simple and not too stylish and not dark coloured ones

        Be confident and be sure of what u r talking
        Don't act smart be what u r don't flatter urself
        If u got the job be happy and if u don't be prepared for the next!

      • First of all, you should always be prepared. So, prepare answers for questions they might ask. Google "Interview questions" or something like that, and document the answers to those questions. Writing down the answers help you to remember them, so when they ask you a question similar to that you already know the answer. The last thing you want to do is be sitting there thinking of an answer. As for your attire, i've gone ahead & created an outfit on Polyvore.com - www.polyvore.com/simple_but_impre… I've incorporated alot of neutrals in the outfit, because its not BRIGHT and really says "sophistication" & "class". If you feel like wearing a dress, go for a simple, plain colour e.g. nude, champagne brown, preferably something not too short. Makeup should be simple and natural (as exemplified in the photo) and when you pull your hair back it appears more professional than when its down. Jewellery shouldn't be over bearing or oversized. Maybe just a small pair of pretty earrings and a watch etc. Good luck & i hope i helped ! :)
