Hello,

It's great that you wish to be prepared because first impressions are lasting. Here are some helpful hints.

1. Dress in a clean white or blue dress shirt and black or khaki slacks with a conservative tie. Wear conversative shoes with socks. Keep jewelry to a minimum. Cover any tattoos. Have breath mints available. Wear hair in a conversative hairstyle.
2. Arrive 15 minutes before your interview.
3. Drive to the place of employment tonight so that you won't have any surprises on tomorrow.
4. Practice answering some typical interview questions. Yahoo jobs has some of these questions.
5. Use positive body language: pleasant smile, erect posture, don't cross legs at the knee, offer a firm handshake after the person extends his/her hand.
6. Know something about the company such as their mission, their services, years of operation.
7. Know what you bring to the company, such as troubleshooting, dependability, leadership, etc.
8. Consider taking a free personality test, such as Myers Briggs online, so that you can market yourself by using some of the attributes that will be listed on your test results.
9. Thank the interviewer in person and by sending a thank you letter that recaps some of your qualities.
10. Have 2 copies of your resume with you. You can always use your resume to remind the prospective employer of your skills. Your resume can include any volunteer or student work you may have done.

Good luck on tomorrow!

5 Top Tips For Preparing For a Job Interview

• Years ago (20) when I was much younger and attractive, a recruiter once suggested I attach a photo of myself to my resume. The reason was that most employers will hire someone that is attractive vs someone that isn't. Of course that was the time when we actually mailed in resumes vs now using the internet.
  
  Most employers out there will either like/dismiss you immediately when they meet you. You know the saying you only have 1 chance to impress. That is why they always tell you to dress for success since you want to make that 1st impression.
  
  good luck


• I think sort out your resume.
  
  Unless your applying to be a model/actor or dancer i doubt your "good looks" have any matter. :)

Job Interview Questions: Advice for a part-time job interview?

Are You Making These Common Job Interview Mistakes?

Recommended Answer:
I'd say you should wear something professional that would also make you feel confident. Always dress for the job you want (even though it's just a part-time type of job). I would suggest wearing some dress slacks w/ a white button up shirt. Always try to cover tattoos or other things like that. Make sure that you're clean & your hair's brushed, your nails aren't chipped, etc.

You should also smile a lot and try to be personable w/ the interviewer. They'll most likely ask why you applied there, you can say something like I'm a customer here and I've always really liked it, so I thought I'd apply. Try & be flexible as well.

Mastering the Job Interview - 5 Tips to Make Yourself Irresistible to the Interviewer

Recommended Answer:
it depends.
wear some thing that shows your a smart person. nothing to fancy. it also doesnt have to be expesive, black pants and a nice shirt.

Job Interview Questions - How to Answer Popular Job Interview Questions

• It depends on what you are interviewing for. If you are interviewing for a finance or manager job, then I would suggest a suit. If you are just interviewing to be a stock person or cashier or something like that, just a nice pair of pants and a nice shirt. Real "shoes", not sneakers, if possible.


• dress like a hot model to distract the interviewer, so the interviewer gets pressured on and he will ask you simple questions. you should expect him to keep staring at you in a blank stare.


• You can pull this off 2 ways.
  
  1. Dress slutty and hope it is a single old guy, lol
  
  2. Dress with nice khaki pants and a button down silk shirt or something in that area. Wearing no hat, maybe a regular straight or not too "dressy" hairstyle with some presentable shoes too.


• Nothing that shows too much skin like a tank top and booty shorts lol umm i don't know what you should expect :( I haven't gotten an interview yet but I wish you much luck :D


• If you are interviewing for a management position, look very professional. If you are interviewing for an entry level position (clerk, department assistant, or janitor) then look nice, but not too dressy, because they will think that your are trying too hard to get this job.
  
  Hope this helps, and good luck!

Job Interview Questions: I had a great job interview but I don't understand why didn't they phone, do you think I got the job?

I had a job interview at Auntie Anne`s Pretzels today at 9 am and the interview went very well and I got along with the manager. At the end of the interview he asked me if this was my number and if it was correct. I said yes and he said he had more interviews until noon and will make a decision then and call me. It is nearly 6 pm and he hasn't phoned. Do you think I didn't get the job?

Job Interview Questions: Questions asked in a Fast Food Job Interview?

So I have my first job interview tomorrow and it's at a KFC/Taco Bell fast food restaurant. I would like to know:

-what kinds of questions are they bound to ask me? (specific and general ones)
-what should I wear
-Things I should/shouldn't do?

I appreciate any answer, thank you!

Job Interview Mistakes To Avoid

Recommended Answer:
I actually work at a KFC/TB myself. I showed up to the interview in my coat but took it off during the questioning and had a casual long sleeve shirt underneath. Dressing casual should be fine, just don't wear anything ripped or stained.

The interview lasted about 15 minutes. They will most likely start by saying "tell me about yourself". I also remember they asked why I wanted to work there and what kind of position I was interested in working.

Just be polite and straightforward and you should do fine

Job Interview Technique - 6 Tips To Get Yours Up To Scratch

• I'm a manager at a restaurant and have conducted many interviews. It's hard to say what questions will be asked because each interviewer is different. They will ask, like someone else mentioned, tell me about your self. When answering that, mostly they are looking for what you're currently doing like going to school or what your past jobs were. Maybe some related hobbies or things you do that are related to the job. Mostly interview questions are set up to find out a specific trait such as reliability, team work, honestly, integrity, and so on..
  
  As far as what to wear, it's always to a good idea to dress nicely to an interview. If someone is dressed too casual in shorts and a t shirt, this can show you might not be very serious about wanting the job. In a job interview, first impressions are everything.

Job Interview Questions: Is it possible to overdress for a job interview?

I have a Job interview tomorrow at See's Candy and I really want to get it, I need a job very badly, So I typed up a mini Resume, And am bringing a business card with my contact information on it for the manager. And plan to wear a suit. do you think this too much?

Succeeding in a Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
I wish you had told us what kind of job it is and what kind of place. If it's a candy store and you're going to be a clerk, then a suit would be ridiculous. Better to wear a nice shirt (something with a collar, either button-down or knit) and casual pants, such as chinos. Jeans would be okay if they are not faded/dirty/holey. If you were interviewing to be their bookkeeper or manager I might upgrade it a bit.

It IS possible to overdress for a job interview. If it's a hands-on job and you dress too neatly or nicely, they may assume you don't like to get your hands dirty.

On the other hand, it is worse to UNDERdress.

The best thing to do is to go to the place (or a similar one) BEFORE your interview and see what the people wear who work there in the same position you're applying for. Then you can't go wrong!

Being clean and well-groomed, speaking well, and seeming friendly, interested, and responsible are more important than the way you dress.

The Complete Job Interview Process

• Yes, it's possible to overdress, but that would be a female in a prom dress or a man in a tux.
  
  No, a suit is not inappropriate, especially anywhere in the NE. The business card is overkill, dorky, and will likely get tossed.
  
  The resume is only necessary if it's a good resume, not a cheesy mini-resume. It needs to be one page and fairly complete.
  
  If you are worried about the suit, a pair of trousers/slacks (not khakis), a button down shirt, and a tie should suffice.


• I don't think the suit is a good idea.
  It may be possible that you will be better dressed than the person interviewing you, and this may make things uncomfortable for you both.
  There is a term called "office casual" where you are pleasantly dressed, but don't look like you're on your way to an awards ceremony.
  If you are neat, tidy, and comfortable, this will go a long way than someone thinking that maybe you are going to a funeral after the interview. Good Luck.


• For a retail sales position? Yeah, probably. Skip the business card, your contact information is on the resume. And don't wear a suit unless you're applying for a management position. Wear nice pants and a nice top. You obviously want to look good, but don't act like you're applying on Wall Street.


• I don't think it's too much, it just shows you're really serious and that the job is really important to you.


• Always look your best. You cannot go wrong with a suit, I don't care what position. Yes, he will look more casual. but he has earned that right. You have to show you are serious.
