Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview today, do you think it would be inappropriate to try and hide my baby bump?

I really need the job, it's not anywhere fancy; just retail.
But would it be wrong to hide (or try to hide) my baby bump.
I just want to get the job without them taking one look at my belly and telling me no.

A Guide To Common Job Interview Questions And Answers



Recommended Answer:
I don't think so....

They could never prove that you hid it from them...

Job Interview Rehearsal - The Benefits of Mock Interviews


  • As long as you aren't concerned with coming back to work after the baby is born, go ahead and hide it. There will come a day when they will notice and probably be pissed about you hiding it to begin with, but they cannot fire you for being pregnant once you are an employee.

  • i dont know how you're going to hide a baby bump at 7 mos. but i dont know anyone who would hire a pregnat women cuz if they hire you, you're only working 2 months then out for 6-8 weeks then they gotta deal with child care issues. but if you could hide it then good luck. oh yeah and be careful cuz lets see if you do get hired, then they find out you lied/hid your pregnancy then they can terminate you. a lot of times in the contract and interviewing process, there is a clause that says if you are knowingly hiding something than that can be grounds for termination which would be perfectly legal. then you would have to prove you didnt know you were 7 mos preggers, which would probably be pretty hard to do.

Job Interview Questions: How can I prepare myself for a job interview? How can I make the best 1st impression?

I have my first one this Friday. I've had 2 jobs in the past, but never had interviews! I am a bit nervous, but at the same time have experience in the field and also working in general so I guess my nerves and all could be worse, but I still am worried it will go wrong and they won't know the real me! How can I make the best first impression?

Job Interviews - Six Blunders to Avoid



Recommended Answer:
Dress modestly and formally. Formal dress is acceptable for practically all kinds of job interview, even if the duties are not formal. Find out about the company before going there. They would be impressed to know you already knew about them before visiting. Do not pretend to know what you don't know. A diplomatic 'I don't know' can sometimes leave a good impression than the right answer. Always wear a smile, and do not look down while talking or answering questions. These and other contribitors' responses will hopefully help you. Bonne chance!

Job Interview Basics


  • The best thing you can do is to prepare for the questions. Look up some of the most commonly asked interview questions and maybe find some relevant the job you are applying for. You should dress up one step more than what you would wear if you did get the job. Make sure you make eye contact, smile, and start with a handshake. Make sure that if the interviewer asks, "Do you have any questions for me?" you have a question prepared.

    Don't cluster your appearance with too much jewelry, accessories, or makeup. Also, red is associated with confidence, so maybe throw in a little red into your outfit. Do not try any new hair styles or makeup ideas for your interview, stick to what you know and what you think fits the interview.

    In my opinion, just review questions and your answers is the single most important you can do. You will feel more prepared, so you will be less nervous and feel more confident. Good luck!

  • I don't remember much but I do remember that is peoples appearances makes the first impression, greet the employer(s) with firm handshakes. One thing you can try to do is talking to yourself in the mirror to improve speech

  • Wear decent clothes,
    talk in mirror ( improve your speech)
    Shake hand, Make your self sound good. Not stupid.
    Say thank you, Hello, good bye, exc,
    I hope this helped! Good luck on your interview!

Recommended Answer:
well just to be on the safe side, i would wear pants that arent denim, black is probably the best, but they dont have to be really fancy just simple black pants. theyll probably have you wear that for your uniform anyways.
as for a top, something nice and clean but it doesnt have to be fancy. a nice polo would be fine...something like that

  • Go for Smart Casual and then you will be ok, But make sure your shoes whatever the style are perfect as that say's a lot about a person. Good Luck with the interview.

Job Interview Questions: What does casual dress mean for a job interview?

It's at a place that frames and sells artwork. Would jeans be ok to wear? Jeans and a t-shirt or a collar shirt or jeans and a jacket? Wondering about the jacket coz it's hot here in S.Florida. Interview is today.

Recommended Answer:
It means just that dress casually, you don't have to wear a suit or really flash clothes.
If it is to hot skip the jacket.

Why Should I Hire You? Job Interview Question and Answers


  • For interviews it is better to err on the side of caution and conservatism. Personally I wouldn't wear jeans even if the staff wear them on a regular basis, but would opt for something slightly less casual. How about if you take a jacket with you, slip it on just before you enter the building and then if it's hot inside, take it off when you have greeted your interviewer and hang it over the back of the chair at the start of the interview.

  • Never wear blue jeans while attending a job interview. Casual job interview attire is not advisable if you are serious in getting the job. Women can wear casual pants with a sweater or blouse, with moderate heeled shoes.
    The general rule is to opt for conservative shades and designs. Bright checked shirts, loud colored blouses, and odd designed dresses are not to be worn at all.

  • The general rule of thumb is to dress a little nicer (more professional) than you would be if you got the job. So, if you know what the people who work there wear, go a little nicer.

  • casual, not too dressed up but look professional, you don't have to go in a suit, but maybe Khaki pants and a nice collar shirt, or jeans and a nice collar shirt is fine too. Good luck

  • You don't need a coat or a tie. Jeans OK as long as they are smart and clean. I wouldn't wear a T shirt for an interview - perhaps one with a collar, or a 'polo shirt'.

  • your stuff is fine.
    maybe replace the jeans with another type of cotton pants.
    but other than that your stuff is great.
    good luck

  • Dress one step above the people who are working there. No jeans, no T-shirt for an interview of this type.

Job Interview Questions - How to Answer Popular Job Interview Questions


  • To get hired at Six Flags, they will want to see that you will be good with people, so you need to demonstrate that you have good customer service skills. I would try to prepare examples of past experiences where you served the public. If you have no experience, then come up with the way you interact with friends, family, neighbors. The person at the top mentions all the right questions that typically will be asked of you. Remember though, the person interviewing you will ask 10 or 20 people the same questions. Don't answer like everyone else.

    Always try to use examples. For example; "What are your strengths?" Instead of saying; "I'm a hard worker, I'm good with people and I'm ontime." You would say something like; "I'm a dedicated worker with great customer service skills, for example, in my last job I had to handle many different requests from customers. I was able to multitask and service all the customers with great feedback. I also never missed a day of work and was recognized as one his top employees.

    This is just an example, but you always want to have a few "stories" that you can pull out of your pocket when asked about these simple questions. Set yourself apart from the rest, leave an impression on them.

  • www.best-interview-strategies.com…

    This site has a lot of common interview questions and gives examples on how to answer them or how to approach the answer.

    I skimmed through it and it seemed there were many that i've heard in past interviews ...

    Think about your strengths & especially weaknesses ... I can say I have probably had this question in some form in every job interview i've been to

    good luck getting the job

    PS
    Please "dress to impress" even if it's a casual job!
    It doesn't mean you have to wear a business suite or anything .. but NO jeans.
    Put on dress pants and a cute top, or khakis would be a good choice for that type of job.
    Sorry - didn't see if you were male/female ... but if female no cleavage hanging out .. either way don't wear much perfume/cologne, hair done nice, all that good stuff ..

    and please silence your cell phone - no vibrate ..or even better, leave it in the car!

  • why do you want to work here? what are your strengths? what are your weaknesses? why should we hire you? do you have any questions? (you should prepare some questions, they like to see that you are interested). Also, research the company a lot before you go so you can name specific things you like about it. you can find more interview questions by googling
