Job Interview Questions: Should I mention I had surgery in a job interview?

I was sick for two years with Crohns disease and had four surgeries. I was able to work part time the entire time so there is no lapse between jobs. But I have a specific college degree that I had just received before getting sick. I am better now but if they ask why I haven't tried to get a job in this field should I be honest? (My unused certification is as a LVN or nurse if that helps).

Job Interview Techniques

Recommended Answer:
This is some what of an ETHICS question. Should you lie to a potential employer to help you get a job?

My recommendation is this. Tell the truth - lies always have a way of coming out and when they do, nobody likes being lied to. If the employer offers insurance then there is a 100% chance it will come out. use just two lines:
"I was sick for two years with Crohns disease and had four surgeries. I was able to work part time the entire time so there is no lapse between jobs." (this will show that you have a real desire to stay working)
"My last surgery was back in (insert approximate date here); I'm on medication and have it under control ."

Know the Job Interview Answers

• do not volunteer to give out info about your disease and surgeries unless you are specifically asked.
  
  if u tell the info during the interview, u are very likely not hired, because u are not considered healthy and will likely take more sick days off than other employees.
  
  on the the hand, i think u should be honest to tell, if specifically asked.


• Being honest is the best thing! but if u r sure it will not affect ur job performance then i dont think it is necessary for you to mention the surgery, but u should if they ask u abt ur medical history. I've been on an interview n was asked abt my medical history so just be prepared to tell them the truth...


• If they ask you directly, you may want to explain that you suffered from a serious illness that prevented you from pursuing your chosen career path. I wouldn't go into too much detail, and I would be careful to emphasize that the illness is no longer a problem. And I certainly wouldn't bring it up unless it is absolutely necessary.


• I know you can't help it, but you have a chronic disease that usually means you will miss a lot of work. Some employers won't even hire you if they feel you won't be dependable and that your attendance will be an issue.


• if it comes up i would be honest. lying isn't going to get you anywhere but you don't have to mention it unless he specifically asks if you don't want to.


• Just state you were interested in another field. No company will hire you with your medical problems


• Yep, might as well start off on the right foot with being honest and straightforward.


• not at this time. it might worry them about your ability to work.
  they have a business to run and don't want more problems.

Job Interview Questions: First Job Interview Advice- McDonalds Australia?

I already pretty much know what I'm wearing. The main things I want to know is what sort of questions to expect. Any other advice at all would help though. Thanks!

The No 1 Most Popular Job Interview Question - "Tell Me All About Yourself"

Recommended Answer:
okay. well, expect to be asked to give examples of situations where you have worked as a part of a team, solved a problem effectively, or shown particular care for another person or their needs. teamwork is the main focus in any workplace (especially maccas) and customer service is a close second.

smile a lot, but no so much that you look rapist or mentally disturbed, and if they ask why you want the job for the love of god say something GOOD, like 'i want to learn to expand my people skills and develop good team ethics' or 'i think that its a valuble skill, to be able to work in a team.' or even 'i would like to get as much experience as i can working before i go to university.' if you have no intention of going to university, and wish to continue working in mcDs as a career (i wouldnt reccomend it but its your choice) then tell them that you 'think mc donalds is a great well known company, where there is a lot of room for success and career development in the long term.'
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TELL THEM YOU NEED MONEY!!!! not only is the pay terrible, but the work industry dislikes this sort of brute honesty in its workers (hypocritical, right?) and you will be immediately kicked out of the interview, being told that you are 'unsuitable' for the position. dont make the same mistake i did, and assume they will value your truth telling.
they will not.

after they have asked you questions, they will ask you if you ahve any you want answered.
dont ask dumbass questions, like 'can i have free food?', 'what happens if im late' or 'what happens if i am caught stealing ****?'
these questions will be answered later, when you get the job.
also, they are stingy fullas and no, you dont get free food. just half price on your breaks. miserable, right? you cant even eat the stuff dropped on the ground.
if you really must ask questions, ask questions that sound like you may be interested in the company. a good example is something like 'so, can you tell me a little about furthering your career within the mcdonalds company?' or even
dont ask when to expect a response. they will generally tell you, and if they dont then wait untill you are just about to leave and ask them as a casual afterthought when they may possibly get back to you. this makes it look like you care, but it doesnt seem desperate.

other general questions will be along the lines of what experience you have (its okay if you have none, just say that you are eager to learn) a few 'what would you do if scenarios' and maybe a few simple math equations, to make sure you can handle money.

when they shake your hand, squeeze firmly but no so hard their fingers fall off. dont be nervous, and if you get to anxious just say ' sorry, im a little nervous, could you repeat the question?'

say thank you to your interviewer (common sense) and good luck!

Job Interview Questions: What kind of questions will be asked at a second job interview?

I have a second job interview with pizzahut . can someone tell me what kinda questions will be asked at the interview and how i should answer them??

How to Succeed at Your Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
Usually a second interview is with another person and the questions can be as random as the first interview. They can also discuss more details about working for the company and what the job entails than the first time.

They may have the choices down to a couple so make sure you outshine the other person!

Good luck!!
