Job Interview Questions: What should I wear for a job interview?

I'm 16 and I want to make a good impression.
Should I just wear nice jeans and a nice shirt
Or should i get more fancy like dress or slacks?

First Job Interviews Made Easy For Those Leaving Education



Recommended Answer:
It depends on what type of job you are interviewing for. Personally, I would opt for a nice skirt and top, minimum jewelry and makeup. You want them to remember YOU - not what you were wearing. Go sparingly on the perfume too. Here are a few more tips from a career expert I found in an article on singlemindedwomen.com:

How to Improve Your Job Interview Skills


  • Pick one half of your bikini (top or bottom), and replace the other half with a wreath. OR wear a parka, fishing pants, and a sombrero.

  • Wear slacks and a nice dressy shirt. NOT JEANS!!!!

  • wear a bathing suit

Job Interview Questions: When on a job interview, what's the best way to answer?

Let's say you have a job and you are looking for a new one. You may not like your work environment or you are looking for a job with better pay. So you land an interview. The person looks at your resume and says " What is your reason for leaving the XYZ Company" What would be the best way to answer that question besides something like "Well I need more money"..even though that may be true but it doesn't sound very professional.

Job Interview Cheat Sheet - Top 6 Questions & Mental Strategies



Recommended Answer:
"I'll be completely honest with you. The reason why I left the XYZ Company is because I felt that it was a place where my potential was not able to show and did not give me a chance to grow. But I feel as though this job provides both of those aspects that ultimately offer me a constructive workplace."

Job Interviews Should Be As Easy As Trying on a Pair of Shoes


  • Well, you could try the honest route and admit that, while you like your job (the work itself, not necessarily the environment, but you don't have to say that) you really can no longer afford to accept the low wage and are looking to take your experience from XYZ into an environment that more suits your skills.
    Or that you've always seen XYZ as a stepping stone to more ambitious projects like ABC (the interviewing company). Or that you felt that XYZ didn't offer the opportunities for advancement that ABC does and you felt it was time to move on? Or that you've always aspired to the position offered here at ABC and when you saw the job opening, couldn't help but jump at the chance despite already being employed with XYZ... follow your dream, right?

    Be as honest as you can... if you never dreamed of working for ABC, then don't claim that you've always dreamed of it... but you can use rephrasing to make otherwise "unprofessional" sounding motives sound positive. Avoid complaining about your current employer under any circumstances! Try to use your reason to point to something positive about yourself, such as ambition, pluck, self-awareness, loyalty, experience or a need for greater challenge etc.
    -Scarlet

  • Be truthful first. And positive. Say: I feel I've gone as far as I can with XYZ (and give one or two examples of your outstanding achievements). Or I feel my talents/ qualities (and name some, like persistence, taking the initiative, being able to work well unsupervised or as part of a team or as leader of a project...that sort of thing) would be a real asset for XYZ, or XYZ more closely fits my abilities and aspirations (again naming some concrete skills and ambitions).
    By staying positive and not dissing your current employer, you demonstrate that you can be loyal and are not a whiner or complainer.
    If they point blank ask you why you're leaving XYZ, say in addition to the above, the benefits at your company are also -- also, but not only -- an incentive.
    Whatever you do, don't lie!

  • "I feel I have accomplished as much as I could at XYZ and your company could help me achieve more" would be a good answer. Whatever you do don't badmouth your old job or co-workers. It makes you look like a conflictive person.

  • "I am looking for something better"
    "I need something more challenging"

  • I need a job where i can grow and expand my potential, some thing that will turn into a career and i can advance my career

  • Say something like "There were limited opportunities to advance my career with that company."

  • oh yes, lie during your interview. that'll land you a job.

Job Interview Tips - First Impressions Count and Appearance Is a Big Part of the Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Don't really go and say that your an avid gamer, they may think that you will lead a customer away from a game just because you hate it (e.g. Modern Warfare 2).

It really depends on the management when it comes to the end, some may like arrogant, cocky people, others don't like smart-asses, but people they can rather trust. Don't take the risk, just go with the latter and do what you normally would for an interview.

Overall, at my local EB games, they would just ask questions situation-based, acting as if they were the customer looking or asking for something.

    And wear something preppy, like Aeropostale stuff. they wont hire you if you look homeless.

    The Top 3 Job Interview Questions Asked To College Students -- And Exactly How To Answer Them!


    • I'd bring some questions and a pen to write down anything you might find interesting. Also, during my first job interview I was hired on the spot if I brought my birth certificate or social security card with me. I just came in the next day with my birth certificate and filled out my tax paperwork.

    • You don't need anything.. Since you're 15 i'm guessing you don't have any work experience?

      I would take an ID...you don't have a school ID? that would work take your school ID with your birth certificate and SSN just incase you need it. It dosnt hurt to be prepared...!

      Oh and if you do have work experience then try making a resume and if you have time have someone write a refrence letter like a teacher or something.

      good luck! :)

    • You might wanna get either a state issued ID or a drivers license.

    First Job Interview After Graduating - How to Prepare Even If You've NEVER Had a Job! (Part One)



    Recommended Answer:
    Anytime you are talking to someone about a job interview, it shows you are confident and sure of yourself when you ask close ended questions. What I mean by this, is when they say they are calling, and you find out it is them, ask "So when do I start?". This forces them to answer with a date, rather than if you asked "Am I hired?", to which they can say "No" to. So, as a general rule, do not ask any questions they can answer with a "No". Ask assumptive questions that already assume that you are hired. This tells them that your mindset is already there, and your confidence alone will win you a job, even if you don't have skills. Be sure also not to sell yourself short...when they talk about pay, compensation, benefits, etc...be sure to stand your ground. Remember, they wouldn't have called you back if they did not see something in your they liked.
