Job Interview Questions: Would this question be inappropriate at a job interview?

I am interviewing for a support level position with a small investment management company. On their website, they have bios of all the higher-up people, but they do not have anything on their support staff. Some of their competitors include all the principals and their support staff. This shows me that their support staff means a lot to the company as well. I would like to ask this company why they decided not to include their support staff on their website. Should this question be avoided?

The Ten Rules For a Great Job Interview

• That's definitely not something I would bring up in an interview. There may be a very good reason why they aren't up there. Personally, I would insist that I not be included in a web site where anyone can googlestalk me. It's not a commentary on anything whether a company does or does not. It sounds like an ego issue.


• What is the idea behind wanting to know? Are you just wanting to gauge how much they appreciate the employees? The best way to get that info is to ask if there's any more about the support staff you can get on the internet before the interview, but if not, don't take it as a bad thing.
  
  You could always get a pretty good idea of the level of employee appreciation by noting the general atmosphere. Ask if you might get a quick tour while you're on the interview, if there's time "I'd love to look around, do you think we might be allowed to do that?" and if so, look at people's desks. If there are lots of personal touches and the general atmosphere is cheerful, you can be pretty certain that morale is good.


• Yes, that is something that was decided my upper management. It's really mute, why they are not on their website. Maybe they have a large turn over? no need to place all their employees bios out there for everyone to read? It could be complicated, to say the least? legal issues?
  
  Good luck with that interview! Remember to wear interview type clothing, look them in the eye and shake their hand. :)


• No don't ask that question. Also just because their competitors include their support staff in their website doesn't mean they value them that much but just that they know it looks good to do that. You will only know how a company treats their support staff by working there. I once worked as a support person at a major well known world wide accounting firm who are perceived as great employers...well, they are great if you are an accountant but they treated their support staff like insignificant specks of dirt....but they had a wonderful website!!


• I wouldn't ask. I think it is pretty obvious.
  
  Imagine if you were checking out the website of a coffee shop (because you wanted to scope it out before going) and they put up the bios of all the employees working there. Who cares? But I would understand having the bios perhaps of the owner who runs it and maybe his or her partner. But bios of the support staff?
  
  Some companies might do it, but it is just not necessary. In fact, I would prefer working for a company that would not do that because it is almost a little cheesy.
  
  Some other companies may do it to invoke more of a "community" feel. But personally I think it is a little silly. In your position, I would be glad to work for a company with a more serious image.
  
  Regards.

• Yes, I would avoid that. It serves no purpose for you to know that information and might make the interviewer feel as though you were a trouble maker and attempting to put him/her on the hot seat. IF this interviewer felt this, to any extent at all, you would most likely not go further in the interviewing process.


• I would not ask that in an interview, and I don't think that's indicative of anything.


• No. Do not ask that question. The answer to that question will not give you the information that you desire. It's just a website. Taking a tour, meeting people, being observant of the atmosphere in the workplace would be a much better indicator of whether or not people are happy and appreciated. The average length of time that a person has worked at the company is also an excellent indicator of job satisfaction.
  
  If you pose that question I would have to guess at what your intention was. I would guess that you may not be a "team player" and be overly concerned with yourself and with self-recognition. I also would think that you are "critical" and have made a negative observation about my company. Your question could be misinterpreted. So in this case I would not ask. After you are hired and have worked there 6 months, you could inquire then if you felt it was appropriate.

Job Interview Questions: Is this too much black for a job interview?

I have an interview tomorrow morning and was planning on wearing black dress pants with a black dressy top. Is that too much black?

Recommended Answer:
Not really, but if you're worried about it being too black try to soften it with some nice accessories of a different colour and a cute eyeshadow.

Top Job Interview Tips For College Seniors

• i really need to get my mind out of the gutter......


• I think it is. I may be prejudiced, but I associate the all-black look with goths, and I associate goths with surly attitudes. Note that once I have the job I wear all black frequently; it's just so easy to pull outfits together that way.
  
  Also, you say you plan on wearing a dressy top. It's so easy to step over the line and wear something too fancy for the job. If you would wear it to a cocktail party, don't wear it to the interview. Instead, a white blouse or sweater and black slacks makes you look like a waiter, but that says to the employer, "I'm ready to work."
  
  Or wear any other color top. Just, in my opinion, stay away from black.
  
  Good luck with the interview.

Job Interview Training For Managers - Will's Story

• Keep handy, if they demand, give em.


• usually they have yours if you emailed it or turned one in. So they don't it.
  But in no way does it hurt to take an extra one. it's better if you do just to be prepared.


• Bring one anyway. You have no idea how many other people they are interviewing and it will be good to give them something that you can remember you by. Also always call back after a few days and thank them for the interview. They usually hire the ones who call back, shows you're really interested.

• Definitely put one together and take it with you. A lot of companies will want to have one on file for you, and it's a heck of a lot less awkward to have one you can hand over than to explain why you don't have one.


• Yes, I would bring one with you on professional resume paper in an envelope.

A List of Tough Job Interview Questions For Tough Times

• The job interview is nothing to worry about, but the attitude suitability test is what you need to be aware of:
  
  The Deputy doing the interview says: "Your qualifications all look good, but
  there is an attitude suitability test that you must take before you can be accepted."
  Then, sliding a service pistol across the desk, he says:
  
  "Take this pistol and go out and shoot six illegal aliens, six meth dealers, six
  Muslim extremists, and a rabbit. "
  "Why the rabbit?" you ask.
  "Great attitude," says the Sergeant. "When can you start?"

How to Do Well in a Job Interview

Job Interview Questions: During a job interview, is it considered bad to ask how many hours you will be working a week?

I have recently graduated college and have been applying to several jobs. Since many jobs are salaried I am TERRIFIED I will accept a job that ends up working me 50-60 hours a week. Does it sound bad to ask? Is there a better way to find out?

2 Simple Steps to Crushing Your Competition During Your Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
It will all depend on how you present the question. If you outright ask, "How many hours will I work?" that will not sound to good to them as it sounds like you are just worried about that. It is a good question to ask as you are in sound mind with not wanting to work for a company that works 50-60 hours every week. I know as for myself I always present the question as, "How long is the work week?" as that sounds a tad more professional.

How to Shine in Audit Jobs Interviews

• Maybe the best way to ask is something along the lines of "just so I know, what shift am I interviewing for?" If they tell you 2-7 but don't mention the number of days you've opened yourself up to asking something like "how many days a week would i be working?"


• To the best of my knowledge a salaried position is considered 40 hours and after that is time and one half. It is better to ask first so as to clear all mis-understandings in the future. "better way to find out" just ask what the hours are.

Job Interview Questions: How should I dress up for a job interview?

So I have a job interview at Wet Seal in a few days but the thing is, I don't know how I should dress up for the interview. I want to look professional, but then I'm only 16 so I don't want to look like a total idiot within the people in the store. So what is a good option of clothes for the interview? o.O

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

Recommended Answer:
wear no open toe shoes.. nice acessories (belt, earrings, rings, etc). stick with black colored clothes. no jeans or t-shirts or sweaters or sweatpants. wear a nice dark dressy pant, with a nice casual blouse (no t-shirt or polo). this way you look professional casual and it fits in with the store and the people in it (at least for your interview) the manager will tell you what they accept or not for everyday clothing..

:) good luck! oh, pointer: put some emphasys on your customer service skills, always works :)

Tips During a Job Interview - Tremendous Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd!

• A pencil skirt or a nice pair of dress pants, khakis work. Avoid ripped or baggy jeans, big no- no. Corduroy also works, and stores love it if you wear their own clothes. Maybe a pair of leggings with a skirt or long dress shirt. As for a top with your pants, something plain with a cute cardigan is professional and still comfy. Avoid baggy sweatshirts and tees. Your bra straps should never show unless maybe it's an over the shoulder sweater, and even then it still doesn't look great for first impressions. You'll be walking a lot, so a cute pair of flats are a must.
  
  Well, this is assuming you're a girl and all :P But anyways, good luck! Hope you get the job.


• where something that expreses you and your style. Wet Seal isn't really a place to dress all conservative . where a cute pair of jeans with a bright colored shirt and accesories to show them your a fashionista


• I'd go with a nice, modest, businesslike look. Try a fitted pencil skirt or trousers, some heels or flats, and a nice dressy top. Maybe a cardigan or something over that. Just keep it somewhat formal and classy.


• just look conservative, almost like you're going to church. where a nice top, with a skirt/pants, and flats or sandals with some nice jewelry
  
  ~brebaby <3~


• I would wear a skirt with a nice blouse or nice pants with a nice blouse with nice shoes.


• hot sexy and exposed IT AWAYS WORKS for guys at least if its a female you are screwed specially if its a fat one and you are pretty


• Be conservative


• I'm not sure what wet seal is but you should always wear a nice dress shirt and tie


• ITHis is coming from a guy but maybe a nice shirt, like tan pants, and flats if you have any.


• just wear a dress tights and boots dont wear anything showing your boobs and legs too much

Job Interview Questions: Is it better to reschedule a job interview or be late to a job interview?

Well I was going to be late today for a job interview so I reschedule it for another day.

I was wondering if this was better then being late? and will this hurt my chances of getting this job?

Great Tips for a Successful Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
If you know you're going to be more that 10 minutes late, then reschedule. But, keep in mind rescheduling can hurt your chances; because, the interviewer can think of you as a person who probably calls-in a lot and deem you as undependable.

Job Interview Tips - How to Showcase Your Talents Confidently

• Rescheduling is better but make sure you do it the right way.
  
  Call immediately if you know you need to reschedule job interview, preferably before the day of your interview - it is inappropriate and inconsiderate to call on the day itself.
  Speak directly to your interviewer. Most of the time, employers inform you of the person who will talk to you in the interview. Answering machines or leaving messages are a no-no - they're not only unprofessional, but you risk not having them delivered and keep people waiting.
  Apologize and be polite when on the phone with the interviewer, and explain why to reschedule job interview.
  Request to reschedule your interview on a date that you sure you can be present, and if the interviewer agrees to it. Once a date is set, always thank the interviewer sincerely for giving you another shot at getting the job.
  Once you have a reschedule job interview, show your appreciation to your prospective employer by calling in to confirm that you will be up and about during the interview. This helps diminish thoughts of insincerity and unreliability from you.
  
  On the day of your rescheduled interview, be sure to apologize again and show all ways of courtesy.


• Call to reschedule...they'll respect you for that. But give them a really good reason for why you need to reschedule.
  
  You could call them today and say that something VERY important has come up (keep the reason brief but solid) and ask if they can do the interview later today or another day in the week.
  
  (if you turn up late to an interview without calling they'll think you're irresponsible and a bad timekeeper.......... )

Job Interview Questions: What are hollister taglines? And what should i wear to my hollister job interview?

I have a job interview at hollister tomorrow and i looked online found out that during the group interview the manager asks you to say a hollister "tagline". What is that? and also what should i wear?

Great Tips for a Successful Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
Tagline: Hey what's up? Welcome to the pier.
But during my group interview, none of us had to say a tagline.

DO NOT WEAR A DRESS. DO WEAR JEANS!!!

Wear dark denim jeans, flip flops, and a gray or navy top.
I wore dark denim, flip flops, and a blueish stripped button up from there at my interview.
Also, don't wear a lot of make up

Job Interview Tips - Negative Attributes That Will Stop You Getting a Job Offer

• First of all, it's very rare to ask about Tag lines in the interview. but if they do, they're attention getter's to customers coming in the store and when they're checking out at the cashwraps. Right now it's "Hey! What's Up? Welcome to the Pier." .. and "Have you signed up for our emails yet". When I first started working there 3 years ago, it was "Hey check out our shorts, they look great!" .. haha, but they're always silly.
  ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DRESS UP!! it's a group interview and it's completely casual. Wear dark denim and a grey and/or navy top with matching or leather flip flops. Also be easy with your make up, You need to look pretty, but natural.


• Don't dress up! Wear clothes only from Hollister. They're very strict on the dress code. Wear a white or navy v neck from Hollister. Or any color of plaid. Wear Hollister Skinny Jeans and some navy, white, or brown flip flops. You can only wear those flip flops or nice brown or white Vans. I heard you can't wear anything with the name on the front like the graphic tee's but I'm not sure. That's their dress code. Wear light makeup. Like foundation and mascara. That's all they allow. You can't wear eyeshadow or eyeliner. Your supposed to look as if you came from the beach. And leave your hair wavy and natural with NO bobby pins. I had a question similar to this a while back.


• "hey what's up welcome to the pier?" wear grey white or navy that's the colors employees have to wear. .um know what diversity means to you and why it's important in the work place.
  .good luck.!.
  .i actually just got hired at hollister & i love it. it's my third week(:
  oh dont wear make up they like your face to look "fresh" i guess you can say. if anything we can only wear mascara.
  no nail polish or acrylics.
  and not a bunch of accessories.


• Tagline: Hey what's up? Welcome to the pier
  
  Wear your hair like your at the beach. Maybe like this

  or just cute soft waves. Or both
  
  Dress: www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcD…
  
  or something LIKE that. something from their store is recommended.
  
  Easy makeup, Lauren Conrad is someone you really want to look up. she has it down.

  But be simpler on the eyeliner.
  
  Good luck! And be friendly!
