Job Interview Questions: If at a job interview the interviewer says if I don't hear from him call him in a week is that good or bad?

He said he doesn't hire people on the spot so was that phrase just to blow me off or am I almost certain to have the job.? He gave me his office number to call him and he said he was going to see if anything matched my criteria. (I asked to only work nights)

The Values That You Should Have in a Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Don't ever wait to hear from an employer. Yes, it is true for some employers that if they want you they will call but that only covers some circumstances. If you want the job, call him. If he says "call me back in another week", call him back in another week.

Be persistent. That doesn't mean be bothersome or agitate the guy. Just keep your face and name fresh in his mind so that when there is an opening, he will think of you.

If he said he was going to see if there was an opening that suits your need, he probably meant it. You don' t know what is going on in his restaurant or store or wherever you applied. He may have someone in mind who he wants to fire or maybe someone is going on leave of absence to have a knee replacement surgery and maybe that person works night shift and the manager has to find out when the employee is going on medical leave. There could be all kinds of reasons.

So your job is to call him next week as he requested. Since you don't have control over his actions or thoughts, all you can worry about is your part of the equation.

That's a smart manager who doesn't hire people on the spot and that's good for you also if you get the job because you don't want to work a place that has high turnover. That would mean that it isn't a good place to work or the pay is bad, etc and if the manager hires on the spot, it is only because he is not organized or always losing employees and can't keep up.

If he didn't mean what he said, he wouldn't have given you his office number. Call him but plan what you will say. Be professional and you will be fine. If he doesn't have anything for you, ask if it would be ok to call him back in a few weeks to see if there are opeinings.Believe me, all managers want a few good applications on file so that they can have someone to hire if needed.

Stay positive and be patient and be persistent and be confident and you will be successful! I don't understand why people answer these questions with negative answers. You get what you think you will get. A positive attitude and confidence is what it's all about. Remember that.

Best wishes to you in your NEW job!

Job Interview Preparation


  • I don't think this means much either way. All it really means is that he didn't think you were OMG BEST PERSON EVAR but he also didn't think UGH SUXXOR GTFO.

    What *would* be bad is if you don't hear anything from him in a week, and then when you call, he tells you to call again in another week. The longer that goes on, the less likely it is that he's busy, and the more likely it is that he's one of those people who either hates making decisions (bad) or hates to give bad news (also bad).

  • Right now, it doesn't sound great. Not because he asked for a reminder, but because he said he was going to see if anything matched your criteria- that makes it sound like he would prefer someone who could work days to me.

    Trust me, if they want you, THEY will call (usually within 3 days of the interview). I have never been hired on the spot in the professional world- it is usual practice in the business world. Fast food restuarants hire on the spot, not 'real jobs'

Job Interview Questions: Job interview question?

Just wondering.... During a job interview whats the best way to answer the question about how much money you request an hour. Do you say the minimum that you'll accept? Or do you say the amount that you think you really deserve?

Lethal Job Interview Mistakes



Recommended Answer:
you should have some idea about what the job market pays for that type of work and your experience level. no experience min wage to $8.00 per hr or $10 per hr? in some areas like NYC, no one works for less than $10-$12 per hr

Answering Interview Questions - How to Make the Right Impression in Your Job Interview


  • Do some research into the pay scale for the job. Then you'll have a better idea of how much to tell them. In my case. If the job pays in a range of say 8 - 20 dollars an hour, and I have experience. I usually make a bit of a joke with the interviewer, and tell them I'll take however much you want to over pay me.

Keys to Successful Employment - Professional Job Interview Tips



Recommended Answer:
Dress professionally for any interview. For Best Buy I doubt you'd need a shirt and tie but at the very least a polo shirt and slacks, maybe even a shirt and blazer would be good.

An interview could take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour depending on how the person likes your answers.

How to Recover From a Bad Job Interview and Get the Job


  • The saying is - "dress for success", meaning that if possible, dress in a suit & tie, even tho' it's "only" Best Buy..........they will be impressed that you cared enough to dress correctly as opposed to the many that will show up in jeans & t shirt........if no suit, then dress slacks and a shirt with tie is also OK...............interviews times can last from a few minutes to an hour or so

  • lol cover up skin, and be there 5 minutes early, and prepared to stay for an hour.

Job Interviewing Skills - How to Mess Up Your Next Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
I love these questions!

First sweetie, stop worrying. Everybody is nervous when going into a job interview, so the manager will understand your uneasiness. But with these tips, they won't turn you down!

1. Dress to impress. Doesn't matter if you're applying at the grocery store or that high class french boutique down the street. You should ALWAYS look your best. People don't want to hire a slob. They want prim, neat, pressed and hygienic. I suggest you shower right before going in there.
If you're thinking of wearing blue jeans, think again! You want slacks. Black, grey, white, beige, doesn't matter, and as far as tops go, something pretty that you wouldn't wear on a daily basis, but make sure that it doesn't show much, or any, cleavage.
Dressing up nicely shows them that you're professional, and neat. It gives off the appearance of being organized and mature, which is good.

2. Try to show up at least 5 minutes early. On time says you're trustworthy to show up to work when you're supposed to. Being their early says that you really care.

3. Respect! When that manager walks up to you, if you're sitting down, STAND IMMEDIATELY. Standing when someone approaches you shows a sign of respect for them. Shake his/her hand firmly, and look them straight in the eyes and say something like "It's a pleasure to meet you."

4. When you get to the table where they will interview you, sit up straight, don't slouch. Keep hands in your lap or crossed on the table in front of you. Try to avoid fiddling with your hair or something on your clothes.

5. When being interviewed, they will ask questions, but they're easy to answer. Sometimes they'll ask you to recall a past event. Take your time in doing this. Like I said, it is understandable to be nervous. Always seem upbeat and happy, however. Energy and enthusiasm are key to getting a job that involves contact with other people. Answer the questions as if you're having a blast and you're really happy to be there. If you can, throw in a few good things about yourself. Remember, an interview is you convincing them why THEY need YOU to be a part of their team.

6. Remember you're P's and Q's. Always say Yes Sir and No Sir, Yes Mam, or No Mam. Avoid using words such as "like, well, and uh." You know, fillers.

7. f you can, try to make them laugh, make them smile. If you like their tie or their dress, say something about it.

8. At the end of the interview, be sure to stand again and shake their hand before you leave, tell them thank you for taking time out of their day to talk to you.

Just be confident. Tell yourself repeatedly the whole way there that you'll do fine. Listen to some music that puts you in a happy mood. Imagine yourself getting the job and I promise it will happen.

GOOD LUCK!!

(THAT ADVICE GOES TO MEN AND WOMEN!)

Job Interview Preparation Tips From an Experienced Manager of Sales Job Interviews


  • just relax they cant arrest or kill you for messing up an answer. like i said relax try not to talk fast or loud try not to squirm around. try not to ramble on and listen and ask questions about the job. try thinking of the interviewer as your friend that you known for a long time just don't go over board with it. i have an interview today also and im nervous about what im gonna say about my last job it did not go to well when i left.

Job Interview Questions: How does this sound after a job interview?

Hospitality Desk Associate position and also Thank you so much for taking
time from your busy schedule to meet with me the other day.
Sports & Wellness seems like a wonderful place to work I would very
much like to be part of the Sports & Wellness team.

Job Interview Tips For You-Five Tips To Instantly Increase Your Success Rate



Recommended Answer:
You are missing a period after "wonderful place to work"

Thank you should only be capitalized if it is the beginning of a sentence

also, sounds robotic.

Lastly, you need to pose your working there as a benefit for the gym, not for yourself.

Instead of saying "I would like to be a part of the team" you should say " I look forward to providing excellent service to your customers" or something like that. The main idea here is they don't care about helping you, only about how you can help them. All communication during the hiring process should be directed AT the company, not towards the benefits YOU will receive by being employed.

2 Simple Steps to Crushing Your Competition During Your Job Interview


  • Ok this sounds dull and like every other letter that interviewer is going to get.

Having met with you I feel that working for your dynamic organisation would offer me a promising career path and, that it would allow me to improve on my existing skills and allow me to develop new ones.

    Once again allow me to thank you ,for taking the time to meet with me in respect of my application, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Kind Regards
