Job Interview Questions: I have group job interview at Pier 1, what should I expect?

My interview is on Thursday and they told me that it was a Group Interview. I don't really know what to expect because I have never been to one before. Thanks for everyone's help! :)

Preparing For Job Interviews

Recommended Answer:
Don't know anything about Pier1 ...except that it's a furniture store I think..

But I do know a couple things about group interviews. I had one, and I bombed it. Obviously, you have to stand out. This is the time to whore yourself out as much as possible. Be respectful & give others the space to talk too. You have to be witty, funny, and leave a lasting impression.

Be the first one and make a little chit-chat with the interviewer.

Smile a lot.

Get ready to do a good sales pitch, be convincing & smooth. Don't make it too long cause customers will get tired of hearing you talk too much.

Brush your teeth.

Some Questions Astute Interviewers May Ask During the Job Interview Process

Job Interview Questions: How do I address my illness in a job interview?

I've been on disability for the last three years, but I have been well for quite some time. I have schizophrenia/bipolar. How do I tactfully address this issue with a future employer?

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

Recommended Answer:
You don't. You are not obligated to inform them of any illness you have as long as it won;t interfere with your performance on the job.... get the job first... work long enough for them to accept you THEN maybe let them know about your issues..... if you tell them during an interview they will hire the other guy.... guarantee it.

Job Interview Tips - How to Showcase Your Talents Confidently

• You don't.
  
  When you apply for a job, an employer is not legally suppose to evaluate you based on illnesses or disease. What they will do is ask if you are able to do the job "with or without accommodation". What that means is if they hire you, what will they need to provide you with in order for you to successfully complete the responsibilities of the job. The accommodation may be anything from a flexible schedule, reduced hours, special chairs/desks/lighting or other equipment. The thing is that if you tell them you need something and the accommodation would cause the company significant financial or other burden, they don't have to provide it.
  
  You are much better off not disclosing a disability unless you are legally required to. Cases where you might be legally required to disclose would include positions where security, safety or other sensitive types of work conditions would be present.


• There is no way to do this, doesn't matter what the law is you will be disqualified.


• You don't. It's no ones business what issues you have... period.

Five Powerful Body Language Tips to Ace Your Next Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
Only if they legally can because it's a condition of employment, and doesn't violate any EEOC laws. The question is: if you get the job, and they don't allow tattoos, will you be able to cover them up and still do the job? If you wear a uniform and it's short sleeved, how will that affect the situation?

The 5 Biggest Mistakes People Make in Job Interviews - And How You Can Avoid Them!

• Many people get stuck when they are aiming to decide what to wear at an interview. Myself I'm from the old school, I believe that formal wear is never inappropriate; you can get some instruction from the resource in the box below, they also have plenty of stuff on job hunting.


• They may or they may not. However, if the job does not allow tattoos, you will be terminated as soon as someone notices that you DO have a tattoo. If you did not want to be concerned about such things, you should have put your brain in gear before you laid out money to have an ink artist permanently apply art to your appendages.

Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview tomorrow - should I mention my weekly counseling appointments?

I have an interview for a job as a receptionist. If I got the job, I would need to take about 1.5 hours off once a week for my cognitive-behavioural therapy sessions. Should I mention this during my interview -- and if so, how should I phrase it? (I would just say that it's for medical reasons.)

How To Stand Out From The Crowd At Job Interviews

• Yes, tell them that. They won't ask any more details.


• You should be clear that you need the hours off, if they need details tell them its medical, they shouldn't need much more than that, it is called PRIVACY. If its not going to effect how well you work and being there, than it shouldn't need to come up in detail.

Job Interview Questions: Second job interview for target!?

ok so i applied at target and got a job interview. i went in for the interview today and nailed it, they said they wanted to hire me after the first 3 questions and they really really liked me. they said they couldnt actually offer me the job today because its saturday and will call me monday to offer it to me. after i left target today they called me and asked me to come in for a second interview on monday. so my question is.....

If they said they wanted to hire me and they said i was hired then why would they do a second interview? what is the second interview for? is it just for the process to get me hired? signing paper work and drug test and check my availability? please tell me what the second interview is about? i know i probably got the job but i just want to make sure.

Job Interview Basics - How to Sell Yourself

Recommended Answer:
I work at Target. All potential employees are required to go through 2 different interviews with 2 different people. The second one is the one where they go over your availability, sometimes asking some more questions like in your first interview, they then can offer you a conditional job offer where they tell you the position and how much you will make. All you gotta do then is take a drug test within 24 hours and wait for the results. Usually takes less then a week, mines took 3 days. After they see you are clean, you will be emailed, then called to confirm a date and time to go to an orientation.
During orientation, you fill out all the paperwork, you watch like 3 hours of videos on policies, situations, etc then you get a quick tour of the store. You also get paid for orientation too, it will show up on your paycheck. After you do orientation, you get a training schedule the same day that tells you when to show up to work for the next 2 weeks. This schedule is going to have minimal hours, mines was 18.5 hours the first two weeks. During these two weeks you get trained the first day, and basically work on your own after. After your 2 weeks, you get a name badge, discount card, and you get more hours. Usually 15-25 a week depending on performance.

I applied at Target online on a thursday, 3 days later got called for a interview the next day, did the interview and got a job offer the same day, same day as my interview I went for a drug test and 3 days later I got a call saying to come to orientation the following Monday. Took me a little over a week to apply, interview, test, and do orientation.

Tips on Acing the Job Interview - 4 Important Things to Consider Before the Interview

• Signing paper work, giving the drug test, and checking your availability is most likely all they want to do to seal the deal. I was given my drug test on the second interview also at Kroger.
  
  Quick question: How did you get the interview? Did you call and talk to the hiring manager? How long did they/you called between the time you put in the application? Also, what questions did they ask you on the interview? I've been trying to get a job at Target for a while. Thanks

Job Interview Questions: How many of you will never have to go on a job interview again in your life?

I just saw an suggestion to google your name before a job interview to see what comes up. And then I realized that I'll never have to go on a job interview again! I'll retire from the job I have and even if I were to be fired before retirement I wouldn't have to go back to work. I don't know if that should make me happy or sad. Does this situation make a person lucky or just old?

Job Interview Tips That Deliver

Recommended Answer:
I worked for the same employer for 98% of my career. I haven't had a job interview since I landed that job in 1976. When I moved to new jobs in-house, it was usually through my mentor so the interview was just a formality to be sure I actually did speak the language and didn't drool when I talked. I'm now retired so I'll never have to do that again. It's been 14 months now, and I feel lucky beyond belief to be out of that fray. I feel lucky, not old, to be out of the "seriously employed" phase of my life. For me, my career was the means to the end, not the end.

It seems like interviews have gotten a lot more rigorous than they used to be. I wouldn't know how to begin to prepare. Google myself? I'm too low tech to have anything out there. Would that work for or against me? I can see it now: "Hmmm... Ms. W... we couldn't find anything about you on Google or anywhere else on the internet. What are you hiding?"

We went through a phase of using "behavioral interviewing" techniques at my employer. It wasn't enough to just talk about your experience, the quality of your results, and what you could bring to the job. Right on the spot, you had to give examples from your past about how you behaved when something hypothetical or from your resume happened. Sometimes it was a group interview, with various people watching for different things. There was no way to prepare or fake a response, which I suppose was the point. We were trained to dig and dig and dig until it was clear the person was telling the truth and not just spinning what they thought we wanted to hear. It was sort of like being on trial. I'm glad I never had to be a behavioral interviewee. It was pretty brutal. Almost antagonistic and adversarial. I wonder if the technique is still in use.

I'm not really expecting to go back to work, but if I did it would be at some place like Lowe's (I'd love to work in their kitchen design area!) or one of the touristy places in town. Presumably their interviews would be more like the one I had in 1976. I could probably handle that, although I might have a hard time describing how 30 years as an IT manager prepares me to design kitchens or sell flip flops!

Sales Job Interviews - The Most Important Preparation Question

• I am retired with an adequate income so I really never have to interview again. For the first few years, that seemed like a great blessing. I no longer had to get out there and compete or go through the travails of being accepted or rejected (sort of like adolescent dating).
  
  But, I will have to admit now that I sort of miss it. I did have the process down --including the preliminary research, the five-part cover letter, the careful documentation, and the extensive rehearsals before the actual interview. I really don't have to work anymore but sometimes I miss the challenge.


• Like you, I don't have to ever go on another interview again. However, if I retire within the next three years, I would like to continue to work. I am planning to work for the Texas Education Agency. Several of my friends and colleagues have retired and gone to work for TEA. It sounds like something that would interest me for several years beyond my retirement from my school district. So, possibly I might go on one more interview.
  It is a surreal thought, but I haven't been on an interview in a long time anyway. It doesn't mean we are getting old. We are getting to that point in our lives when we can enjoy what we want to do. The baby boomers will have a different kind of retirement than any other generation before us. No rocking chairs in sight for us!


• I retired from my career in education after 33 years. I could not wait until the final day. Hating waking up early to go to school. Counting the weeks, days, then minutes until I would be free.
  The day after it was over an unexpected sadness came over me. I missed my identity, my having to get up and go to work, my purpose. It took a full year to stop missing the whole situation. I even substitute taught to deal with my separation issues. Imagine after hoping and praying for it to be over.
  But now, it has been three years and this is the best of everything. I can do the things I want to do. I visit my grandchildren, I travel, I have a business -- check it out http/:www.bukrap.com.
  I work when I want, I sleep late when I want to and I can read a ton of books, knit, etc. I am not old -- 58 - life has just begun!
  Enjoy
  Happy trails,


• I don't. I'm retired!
  
  I'm lucky! You don't realize how much time you have available if you've worked full time for most of your life. I'll make a list of things that I want to do that week. If they're not done - I move them to next week.


• I have to get to a job interview tomorrow for a job that I probably will not get(most likely because I am white and don't speak spanish.) Funny how things are run these days.


• Just old.
  
  I have far more plans for my future which may include additional job interviews. I have nothing on Google to be worried about.


• No. Even though I make jokes about what to put on my resume, I doubt I'll ever write another resume again, or attend another job interview. I absolutely love my work. I'm not by any stretch of the imagination getting rich, but I have enough to take care of me and the cats and to do something a little special for my loved ones once in a while. When business is slow its simple enough to dig up extra internet work, but I rarely run into that problem anymore. I have a good core of regular clients who trust me and appreciate my work, and I'm very grateful for them.
  
  As for what it means. It could mean a lot of things to different people. A lot of people might be looking forward to the next job interview. That could mean they're unhappy or unfulfilled or insecure in their present job. It could mean they're restless go-getters looking for the next "best" thing. Or maybe they just enjoy the change.
  
  But if you'll never have another job interview, it could mean you're happy and secure in your work. It could mean, like me, you're self-employed and intend to stay that way. It could mean you have a lifelong contract signed in blood (hope not, but.. erm... you never know). It certainly doesn't mean you're old, and there is nothing wrong with job-satisfaction, or being comfortable and secure in your work.
  
  And you say if you were to get fired, you wouldn't have to find another job. Nothing wrong with that - you seem to be an intelligent, skilled, and expressive person and can surely find all kinds of fulfillment without a job. I'd say thats a good thing.
  
  I'm glad I'll never have another job-interview. Celebrate!
  
  *tosses confetti*
