Job Interview Questions: Job interview questions?

I have a group job interview coming up for a sales assistant position in Retail. Can anybody think of any questions I can have prepared just incase? Something I can ask the interviewer about the job, I can't really think of anything good. Any ideas?

10 Job Interview Mistakes to Avoid

Recommended Answer:
A lot depends on what kind of retail enviroment and product/s it is, but here are some broad suggestions.

1. Tell them you're interested in being an excellent saleperson, not just a good one. What would be their definition of an excellent salesperson in the context of this business?
2. Ask them to tell you more about the history and philosophy of the business. But do your own homework on this beforehand as much as you can. Best question is one where you raise a point you've researched, and ask them to explain it.
3. What are the things they believe would prohibit you from doing the best you can in the role?
4. Tell them you think understanding the customer is very important, so can they tell you about who would be a good example of a valuable customer? A typical customer?

Appearance Matters in Job Interviewing

Job Interview Questions: Missed call for job interview. Do I still have a chance?

I submitted an application for a job on Wednesday and received a call for an interview on Friday. They wanted to interview me by phone on Monday. Unfortunately, I was very busy during my shift at work when the call came in on my cell phone, so I didn't see the missed call until after 5:00 PM that day. Have I lost all hopes of getting this job, or is it worthwhile to call the interview first thing Monday to apologize and reiterate my interest? What should I say?

10 Job Interview Mistakes to Avoid

Recommended Answer:
In the future, it would be best to call back when you do get the missed call, on Friday night in this case. It's fine to miss a call (in fact, saying that you couldn't take it because you were committed to your work should be seen as a good thing for a future employer), but you need to follow up on it quickly.

You should call today and leave a message indicating your interest, apologizing that you weren't able to answer the call on Friday, and say what times you would be available on Monday to have this phone interview. In your message, also state that you will call Monday morning to finalize plans for the phone interview.

Then on Monday morning, you can call again, and they'll hopefully be ready to move forward.

Job Interview Tips That Will Land You Your Dream Job

• Call first thing monday morning and reiterate your interest. Explain that you missed the call and did not realize it until after 5pm. If they left a message tell them you received the message and you are returning their call. If they left a name ask to speak to that person. Good Luck


• Sorry, but if you can't even make an interview appointment you won't get the job.


• Call first thing Monday, Explain that you were at work and could not take the time, then make an appointment.


• adding to what PaulRN said, that would show ur dedicated but be ready next time they call!!

Job Interview Questions: How would you answer this question in a job interview?

Question: What led you to apply for this job?

Many people suggest just saying a "Walk-in", I find that kind of vague. Any ideas?

Tell Me About Yourself - Job Interview Answers

Recommended Answer:
"Many people" sound like idiots. They aren't asking for the physical way that you applied. They are asking why you choose to apply at their store. The most common answers for retail are because "I shop/eat here all the time," and "Because I really love the clothes/products/food here."

If they ask you that question and you say "walk-in", your application will get sent to the circular file since it will appear to the manager that you are a complete idiot with low comprehension skills.

You've neglected to tell us what field you are applying in, hence my generic answer.

Top Interview Questions - What the Job Interviewer is Looking For

Job Interview Questions: Job interview hairstyles for a girl?

I have a job interview at 2:30 today at Outback Steakhouse. I'm trying to get a position as a server. I know I need my hair out my my face, but is there a cuter, nicer way I could wear my hair than straightening it and putting it in a ponytail?

My hair is down to my shoulders and I have side bangs.

Which of These Job Interview Problems Would You Like to End?

Recommended Answer:
I would have to say that in a ponytail is the best way. It is the most professional looking. Especially for an interview at a restaurant. Maybe try dressing up your ponytail by putting a bump at the crown of your head, then putting your hair in a ponytail. There isn't really much that you can do that looks professional without having your hair up. Sorry to say. Good luck with your interview!

Expert Job Interview Advice From Someone Doing the Hiring

• I have quite similar hair. If it needs to be smooth and posh i would brush your hair and then tie it up and put it in a bun. get some hair slides to match the colour of your hair and slide those in. if you have a fringe maybe get some cute clips or the hair slide you've just bought and clip your fringe to the side. it looks cute and sophisticated :)


• Oh c'mon its a steak house, I thought of an office I would have recommended a bob cut or something but its not a big deal, go with the hair you have.


• brush your hair back and use a gummy headband on put it in the middle then lift up your hair in a pony so it volumise and still cute and out of your face


• Wrap it up with a clip in back but a pony tail is probably the best and neatest way to go.


• a messy bun and ur hair in a quif

How to Shine in Audit Jobs Interviews

Recommended Answer:
First off, i think you should reconsider it a little bit maybe take it for now if you really need to make money. but i suggest you try to apply at restaurants .. where you can make more money and maybe somewhere a little more reputable. Youre pretty young though so i guess if you dont mind working for minimum and standing around in a greasy environment all the time with rude people..... But nevertheless, you should expect to be questioned about why you want to work there and i think the best thing to say is that you think its a great place for you to work and you would like to start saving money to prepare yourself for the future. You should maintain eye contact at all times during the interview, have a nice, positive attitude, be open and honest, smile and seem interested and willing to work. Also, dress professionally, that means no open -toed shoes, black slacks etc.

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

• www.payscale.com
  
  It is a good idea to know a range, but let me caution you..DO NOT bring up salary in the interview. If they bring it up, DO NOT give them a number or reveal your past salary. Instead, say, "At this point in the interview process, I really would like to be considered for the position based on my skills and qualifications. I am confident that we can come to a mutual agreement on a figure when the time comes."
  
  When you get an offer, that might be the appropriate time to bring up the range, but ALWAYS, let them go first. The first person to float a number loses the upper hand. You need to retain the upper hand.
  
  Good luck!


• Don't be shy to call the HR and inquire about the salary range for it is your right to do so and their job to enlighten you. It would take little time and effort to do this, as compared to browsing the web for an accurate estimate.

Job Interview Questions: How long after a job interview should you hear from the prospective employer?

I had a job interview the Monday before last, so this coming Monday will be two weeks. The interview seemed to go well and she indicated that she was just beginning interviewing (I think I was the first one) and that she would let me know by "the end of next week". So do you think she will call me on Monday? What does it take to get a second interview????

Also, I forgot to send a thank you note, should I still send one even though it has been 2 weeks?

Job Interviews - How to Quickly and Easily Succeed at Them

Recommended Answer:
There is no way of knowing. Some companies do not inform interviewees who are unsuccessful. This is rude I agree, but 1 job I applied for they had 125 applicants. That is a lot of refusal letters.
If you haven't heard by the time they indicated you could phone to query the result. I once lost a job because the company had noted my phone number incorrectly.
Regarding thank you letters. Having had a job where I interviewed applicants I did not expect nor want thank you letters. You are doing the company a favour by applying. They should thank you.
