Thank You For The Job Interview - Are You Sending a Follow Up Letter?


  • First of all, my suggestion is to make sure you look presentable for your interview. Make sure you are wearing appropriate clothing (dress skirt or suit depending on gender) and be very polite. Show that you care enough about your appearance. Another suggestion is to take out any odd piercings (like eyebrows) depending on what kind of job you are being interviewed for. Jeans and a t-shirt and weird, distracting piercings? Not a good idea. Show the interviewer that you respect them enough and that getting this job is important to you.
    Secondly, if you have an angry customer, keep the philosophy that the "customer is always right" (even if you personally think they are crazy!) remain calm. DO NOT raise your voice. Speak normally but slowly, and call the customer Ma'am or Sir.
    My friend is the boss where she works and these were the suggestions she gave to me.

    also, if you are going to work at a law office for instance, dress up. but if you are going to an animal shelter and plan to be scooping poop? A collared shirt would be best.

  • Well if you have an angry customer what you want to do is listen to them without any interruptions, empathize and apologize for whatever the inconvenience is, and then resolve the problem. The importance of this question is that the hiring manager wants to know if you would be able to handle certain situations.

  • The best answer I can give you for an interview is to always be positive. Employers don't like to hear the word no. It may sound funny, but for example, if you're offered a cup of coffee then say you'd love one. That's even IF you don't drink coffee. Aside from that, just be yourself and be truthful in all of your answers. Many employers can see right through candidates that are being fake. Or if they hire you only to find later on you lied, well let's just say that won't be fun.

  • Just say that you ...you know they are angry and them seeing you get angry would only make matters worse....so you would remain calm...show them that you empathize with them...and try to defuse their anger by being as calm and helpful as you can.

  • be positive every interviewer likes a positive person it lets them no that you'll try ur best to b nice to all the customers

Job Interview Questions: Please help with my job interview?

I'm going out of town tomorrow for a job interview. I'm graduating from college with my bachelor's degree next Sunday, and I need this job bad. I had my black suit altered, and I'm wearing a dark gray shirt and silver tie. Does that sound good? Also, what do I need to say, how can I answer some general questions that people encounter? What about at the end of the interview? I'm 34, and I've been on plenty of interviews, but not since I have earned an education.

    Recommended Answer:
    By doing some research....

    Check into the history of Target and surprise the hiring manager by actually knowing something about Target.

    And just for the fun of it.... visit the Target you want to apply at today and take a look around.

    Preparing For a Job Interview - 7 Things to Do When You're Invited to a Job Interview


    • I LOVE Target, so I can help here. Besides, Ive worked retail most of my life.

      Just tell them your friends love Target and have always raved about the store and thier high quality merchandise, so you feel working at Target would be the next step up, from just being an awesome place to shop.

      Well, something like that anyway.

      They DONT need to know that you have never shopped in a Target before.

      Go into the store 20 minutes early and look at the stuff in the store. Find something you like a lot in the store, just in case they ask you about any certain item or section of the store you find most appealing. The clothes or furniture sections are always safe bets on this.

      Heck, they have a "dollar" section now in almost all the stores.....those are fun places to find fun bargains too.

      Good luck!

    • you've never stepped into a Target........so what.......they don't have to know that.......

      say.........
      compared to other retail stores,
      target seems so clean and organized,
      plus the people who work their are always helpful and professional......

      then say, I want to work with the best!

    Job Interview Guide: How to Answer Job Interviews and Land on Your Dream Job


    • I'm 14 myself. And I honestly, I haven't gotten a job interview yet. But, I know just what to wear. (:
      First, never wear jeans, sweats, shorts etc. It just makes you seem like you don't really care about the job.
      Wear dress pants and a cute blouse, and a pair of cute shoes. Since you're getting an interview there, you don't want to wear anything to dressy. But like I said, dress pants a cute blouse and some nice shoes would work.
      Good luck, with your interview. (:

    • be yourself, they'll appreciate that! if not, just smart casual.

    Job Interview Questions: What kind of questions should I expect at my first ever job interview and it's a fast food place?

    Also what do I say when I get there? Do I go up to the counter and ask for the manager or do I say I have a job appointment for a job interview at the time or what? I have never done this before and I am nervous as hell.

    Job Interview Essentials



    Recommended Answer:
    first have they called you in for a interview?
    then you can just tell the cashier you have an appointment for a interview
    usually manager or assistant manager will use one of the table to conduct the interview
    make sure you are dressed nice no jeans and you have showed and shaved
    they might ask what you expect from the job have you done this time of work before
    do you like people, what would you do if you where on a register and customer is yelling at
    for something or saying he gave you $20.00 (when you know he really gave you $10,)
    do you mind working on the weekends, do you have transporation (some fast food places
    (at least the drive are open 24 hours)
