    The Essential Job Interview Checklist



    Recommended Answer:
    Your talent has great value in some jobs and is absolutely useless in other jobs.

    You need to choose the job - and the employer - and establish that the company you want to work with indeed has customers or clients who speak these specific languages - otherwise it is NOT really that useful; merely an indication that you are talented in languages which may have nothing whatsoever to do with the job.

    Think travel, think international call centres, think airport work, this community work where new immigrants or NES people are regularly seen.

    Good luck

      Illegal Job Interview Questions and How to Handle Them



      Recommended Answer:
      In job interviews, after a while, all the applicants start sounding the same. What a question like this is looking to achieve for the interviewer is two things:

      1. Giving a chance for you to stand out from the pack.
      2. Are you taking the job just to make a paycheck until you can get into something else?

      If say you are a screen writer or game designer and it says to them that you need work until an opportunity in your career of choice opens up and all the time and energy the company has invested in you is going to be wasted because you are not interest in a future career with them.

      The "interesting" thing they're looking to hear, for example, is there an extensive hobby that you love? Do you have plans for travel? Is there something that you've always wanted to achieve, like climb Mount Everest or explore the castles of Scotland? These are all things that you'd need steady work to help materialize in your life. It also shows that you have far reaching goals and will be a dedicated yet well rounded employee that is vested in doing well.

      You also want to think of 3-5 questions to ask the interviewer before you show up to the interview. Something along the lines of;

      1. Does company promote from within?
      2. Does company offer mentor or educational programs for people looking to get into management?
      3. What advice can you give, should I get the position, that will help my transition to the team be a seamless as possible?
      4. What other benefits or perks, besides the ones discussed do you think I should know about?
      5. Are ther any plans of expansion and does the company plan to offer relocation opportunities and assistance.

      These questions show confidence, ambition and longevity. It also shows that you are interested in more than just, "show me the money". These are just examples of some questions that would impress an interviewer if they don't suit you, write out some questions that are pertinent to you and your ambitions and what you plan on achieving from your employment there.

      You should also take notes during the interview and be prepared to ask a question from your notes. It shows that you were paying attention.

      At the end of the day, relax, put your best foot forward and remember, as much as they are looking you over, you need to be checking them out as well. If you don't think this comapny is going to be in line with your ambitions and future plans, would it be fair to them or yourself to take the job and then find yourself unhappy after a short period of time and start looking again? Job hopping never looks good on resume.

        Job Interview Questions: Will I get a job interview?

        I applied at Starbucks. The lady called me back to ask me a few questions about my application. She asked me basic questions like my skills, why I want to work at Starbucks, etc. She then said she had to review other applications and she will call me back. Does it mean I can still get a job interview or was that rejection?

        9 Most Common Job Interview Questions and Answers



        Recommended Answer:
        You may get a job interview and it depends on the other candidates. Whenever you speak with a potential hiring manager, you need to be prepared with a question about when you should expect to hear back. You don't want to appear needy or desperate, but it shows that you are interested in the job and that you want to follow up. You can also ask if it's okay to check back with her in a few days on the next step to work at Starbucks. If it's been a few days or up to a week and you still haven't heard back, take the initiative to go back in and speak to the manager who called you. Hopefully, you know the name of the person who called you. It's important to know the names and correct spelling of anyone you talk to for future thank you notes or follow up.

        Good luck & it this does not pan out, keep looking for other opportunities!

        Job Interview Weaknesses - How to Overcome These Common Job Interview Weaknesses


        • If you don't get a call back, that was very unprofessional of her but you shouldn't worry about it. There should be plenty of other stores in your area where you can apply as well. The barista position is in high demand and Starbucks has a high turnover so don't be discouraged.

          If you are concerned, definitely follow up with the manager to set your mind at ease.

        Job Interview Questions: What should I wear for my job interview tomorrow at Party City?

        I have a job interview tomorrow at Party City and was wondering what do you think I should wear? I have slacks and a button up short sleeve, collared shirt that I thought of wearing, but I think that would be over dressed. What would be good for this type of job? Thanks in advance for the advice.

        What is Your Worst Job Interview Weakness?



        Recommended Answer:
        There is no such thing as over dressed. Unless you show up to Mc Donalds in a tux.
        I would wear slacks, and probably a long sleeve shirt it looks more professional.
        Employers want to know that you're taking the job seriously, especially in these times were they can pick and choose. You have to try your hardest to get a crap job these days.

        But good luck at your interview, knock em dead.

        9 Most Common Job Interview Questions and Answers


        • Many peeps get stuck when they are attempting to decide what to wear at an interview. Personally I'm from the old school, I am of the opinion that formal wear is never wrong; you can get some guidance from the website in the box below, they also have a lot of info on job searching.

        • That is not being overdressed. You are dressing for success. Look sharp and smart, it always makes a good first impression.

          Prepare quesions like How wii your experiences so far help you in this position, why should I hire you, tell me about yourself.

        • Nice jeans or khakis and a nice top. What you want to wear is fine too. Based on these two options which are both appropriate, I would wear whichever you are more comfortable in so that you will be more relaxed and present a better image of yourself!
          Good luck!

        • No it is not overdressed. A guy needs a tie. A girl needs a jacket. Out of respect for the person interviewing you, you dress properly
