Job Interview Questions: Job interview requested via email: Call or email them back?

Really simple question. I'm used to getting calls if an employer wants to schedule an interview, but since the job is for a data entry position (not customer service oriented) I'm not sure what the etiquette would be for this.

Should I email them back or call to schedule the interview? :s

10 Tips For A Successful Physical Therapy Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
An email should be responded to with an email. Thus, you should respond to the job interview invitation in that manner. However, should they fail to respond also for unknown reasons, it is but right to give them a ring and inquire regarding the status of your interview.

You're Not Alone If You Hate Going To Job Interviews


  • I would call them back............personal touch is a lot nicer and you will get a quick response and get any questions you have can be answered and get well prepared for you interview.
    Everyone emails - you want to be point of difference GOOD LUCK

  • In the email it should specify if they would like you to respond via email or telephone. If it doesn't specify I would email a response.

  • If the email says to call them call them. If their is no phone number call them if you get no responce after your email.

  • Since they emailed you, I would email them back. If you don't hear anything within a day or two, I would call.

Job Interview Questions: What are some important questions to ask employers in a job interview?

I found ton of books in public library on interview techniques. I want to ask fellow members who might have a input or experience.
Business Analyst role.

Job Interviews - Six Blunders to Avoid



Recommended Answer:
I always advise job seekers to focus on three types of questions:
1. Questions that show you did your homework -- for example, a question based on a recent article that mentioned the employer.
2. Questions that show that you are listening & thinking.
3. Questions that combine 1 & 2. (I recently read in the Wall Street Journal that your company is implementing PeopleSoft. How are your business analysts involved in making this project successful?)

Finally, ask questions that show that you are curious about how you can help the company succeed. Good luck!

    Job Interview Questions: Did the job interview go bad?

    I just got back from a job interview and I don't know how it went... When the lady would ask me a question and I'd answer, sometimes I'd be like "ummm" or "mmm" or "uhhh" and then after I answered she'd just look at me for a second or two and ask the next question. She said that they would start calling people on Wednesday for second job interview. Do you think I'll get a call back?

    Knowing Some Job Interview Tips and Questions



    Recommended Answer:
    Next time you go to an interview be prepared. Know about the company you are being interviewed with. Look them up, know how many stores they operate, or products they produce, where headquarters is located, who the CEO is, how they are doing in this down economy.
    Also know you will be asked a lot of the same questions regardless of where you go, what are your strong points, your weak points, why should you be hired, what do you bring to the table, what accomplishment are you most proud of from your last job.
    Know the answers beforehand. If you do not, the guy before you and after you just might.

    Weird Job Interview Tips: 2009 Psychology Study Reveals Truth Behind First Impressions


    • A lot of the time when they look at you, its a tactic to get you to elaborate more. Or she could have just been taking everything you said in. Theres nothing wrong with taking a second to think about what your about to say before you say it in an interview... in fact its expected. Hopefully you will get your call, it you dont there are plenty of other options out there.

    • You should practice on interviewing. Sounds like you were way to nervous.

    • I do not think you will be called back. Using "umm" and things like this sound uneducated.

    • i wouldnt hold my breath

    Job Interview Questions: Is this a bad question to ask in a job interview or not?

    Im going to a job interview and Im courious is this a good question to ask? "When will you let me know if I got the job?"

    Job Interviews - Will Practice Help?



    Recommended Answer:
    It's not a bad question at all. They might answer it for you during the interview but if they don't go ahead and ask them. I would rephrase the question though. Something along the lines of, "When might I hear from you again?"

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


    • It is not a good question to ask. Consider that he or she will be interviewing other candidates for the position.

      Instead ask questions such as:

      How often and when employees are evaluated?

      What has happened to the last person who was in this position?

      Is there anything significant to improve this position or the productivity?You want to come out shining and ahead of the other interviewers.

      good luck

    • That is good, but I would word it a little differently. Maybe

      "When can I expect to hear from you to speak further about this position?" Maybe they require second interviews or something, you don't want to assume what their process is.

    • Not a good question.

      It might be better to just shake a final hand and say "Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you..."

    Job Interview Questions: Job Interview Follow-Up?

    I had a job interview on Monday and I think it went really well. After about an hour and a half the hiring manager then took me out to the floor and introduced me to some people with whom I'd be working with. The hiring manager then took me to his desk and was showing me the what my duties would be in detail and was also showing me internal accounting systems which I thought was a good thing since this was a management position at a bank and usually I wouldn't think you would bring an interviewee onto the floor and show them your systems in detail. After this the manager told me that I was the only individual being considered for the position. He advised me he was going to be talking to his boss that day regarding the interview and they would be in contact with me. After I left I immediately sent a thank you e-mail to this individual. I was really thinking I would have heard something back by now, I do have the phone number for this individual and I was wondering how long should I wait or if I should call to follow-up. This position is located in a different state and I would need a little time to get my life together as they wanted someone to start in this position by Sept 26. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    How To Ace Your Next Job Interview - What They Don't Tell You



    Recommended Answer:
    I would advise contacting them as soon as possible. Don't be overbearing, but they will understand that you need to know what the status is on their decision.

    Also, on a side note, your thank-you email was a good follow up, but I would recommend next time you leave an interview, follow up with a hand written letter. Those are taken much more serious and personal when they see that you took the time to sit and write them a personal card. Just a suggestion.

    Hope it works out for you!

    Myths About The HR Professional As The Candidate In The Job Interview


    • You have no idea how many hoops some managers have to jump through to make an offer. HR, Payroll, legal, the VP of this, the VP of that, and the secretary that really knows what is going on. It varies from company to company, but the process could be anything from an offer at the interview (it happened to me) to weeks.

      Give them at least a full week (COB next Monday) before calling them back and asking them where they are in the process,

    The Importance of Great Job Interview Answers



    Recommended Answer:
    Yes it is perfectly normal to be nervous at job interviews.

    I shouldn't think this would cost anyone a job. Instead it is more likely to be how you have sold yourself into the position that you have applied for.

    Did you do any homework researching the company, did you read your job specification and come up with the right answers relating to experience and transferable skills.?

    I hope you get good news as the world needs good news at the moment. So good luck.

    Job Interview Answers - 5 Of The Most Common Questions Demystified


    • During a job interview, think of yourself as a marketing representative for a very unique product, YOU. You must offer convincing proofs that you are the person best qualified for the position. Employers are impressed when you give specific examples of how your skills and accomplishments are right for the job at hand.

      Below are some of the most typical questions employers ask candidates
      topuniversity.clicknsmart.com/2010/09/7-typical-questions-employers-ask-candidates/

      good luck

    • Yes, it's normal... but you need to get over that. Job interviews don't need to be scary. They can actually be kind of fun, if you go in with confidence and make the process a conversation rather than an interrogation. It allows you an opportunity to show your personality, too.

      There are certain rote questions interviewers will ask that you need to prepare answers for before you even GET an interview. Among them are:

      "What are your strengths?"
      "What are your weaknesses?"
      "Why do you want to work for this company?"
      "What are your plans for after graduation?"
      "What are you studying?"
      "Tell us about yourself."
      "Why should I hire you?"
      "What happened at your last job? Why did you leave?"
      "What relevant work experience do you have?"
      "Tell me about a time where you overcame a challenge at work or in school."
      "Here is a scenario: A customer is upset and says you're at fault, though really the customer is at fault. How would you handle this?"
      "Tell me how you've in the past handled an ethical dilemma."
      "What motivates you?"
      "What has been your best/worst job to date? What made that job the best/worst?"
      "Do you feel you work well with other people, or that you work better alone?"
      "Do you think you work well or poorly under pressure?"
      "Tell me about an idea that you had at a previous job or in class that was implemented."
      "What words would *other* people use to describe you?"
      "Do you have any final questions for me?"

      A hint on that last one... the answer is NEVER "no." Use that last question to end the interview on a positive note, such as asking questions about the history of the company or future plans the company has in mind. In other words, show an interest.

      There are lots and lots of websites that can tell you how to answer these questions and other common questions in a positive, insightful way. When it comes to negative questions (like "What is your greatest weakness?"), always spin your answer positively. For example, I always answered that question like this:

      "My greatest weakness is actually also my greatest strength. I'm a creative person, and also a person who likes order and consistency and things being 'just so.' This is a great thing when it comes to drafting a good letter or editing copy or brainstorming on a solution to a problem, so when my little brain gets to working it can come up with some interesting stuff! But on the negative side, since I'm so detail focused I sometimes focus on the wrong details, and may spend more time then necessary making something perfect when it doesn't have to be perfect. I'm aware I have this tendency, so I sometimes do tell myself to 'stop.' Being a creative person can also work against me, because I might create problems that don't exist. But the upside of that is that I'm also good at solving problems before they happen!"

      See what I mean? It's perfectly okay to acknowledge your flaws, but an interviewer wants to hear what you're doing to overcome those challenges. For example, if you're disorganized, then you could talk about how you've started keeping a calendar at home and leaving yourself recorded memos on your cell phone so you don't forget things. The bottom line is that an interviewer wants to see that you communicate fairly well, that you're not stupid, that you're mature and responsible, and that you can solve problems. Show that, and you've got a good chance at getting the job.

    • perfectly normal! in fact, i have a job interview tomorrow and im very nervous :)

      answer mine?: answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…

    • Perfectly normal. Especially if you really want the job and you are trying to make a good impression :) Good luck!

    • yes it's normal but, I would call to let them know you are eager to work.
