Recommended Answer:
yeah, that sounds good! :) of course, it is a dog groomers, it's not an interview for something very major. the black jeans and flats sound nice, maybe a dressier top (like a blouse, something casual but pretty), the blazer might be a little much, but really, it's completely up to you!

Job Interview Questions: Phone Job Interview, when is appropriate to call back?

I was referred for a job. Received an email stating they were hiring and he wanted to know what my career goals were. I called him the day after, he was busy at the time and stated he would call back that day - he didn't. How long should I go before calling him back again?

Recommended Answer:
Regarding professionalism of contacting someone for a career/position/job, I believe waiting a full business day (8-24 hours) is best practice.

However, in this particular situation, I would contact the individual as soon as possible, as this will show him that you are interested and eager to fulfill the position. As well, he may have forgotten, so calling him may be a better idea (instead of waiting for him to call you).

What to Do on a Job Interview to Land a Job


  • i would call him back today.. or like now because what are you suppose to do? he said he would call you back and didn't.. it would look better on your part to call back sooner than later to show your interest in the job

  • The following day. You have nothing to lose by calling him back once or twice.

Job Interview Questions: Should I bring in a cover letter with my resume for my job interview?

I applied at Subway and today a lady called me saying I had a job interview for tomorrow morning. I applied online and they never asked for a resume, but should I bring one in anyways when I go to the interview? And should I bring in a cover letter for it? If so, what types of things should I write on a cover letter for a job I already got an interview for? Thanks!!

Job Interview Skills: Four Critical Mistakes to Avoid!



Recommended Answer:
You should bring a resume in case they ask for it, and perhaps even mention at some point that you brought a resume. They might not even want one, because the point of the resume is to give them all the details of your education and work experience, and these things are not as important in this kind of job. They want to interview you to see if you're the kind of person they want to hire--cheerful, clean and well-groomed, willing to work hard, good with people.

The point of the cover letter is to 'introduce' the resume. But if you hand it to the interviewer and say 'This is my resume', that's introduction enough. If they even want it, it will go in the file with your application and perhaps the notes of the person who interviewed you.

Prepare for a Great Job Interview With These Questions and Answers


  • I don't think it matters too much for subway to be honest with you.
    Typically you have a cover letter with a resume you are leaving with a receptionist or secretary for the employer to read.

    When being interviewed personally it is redundant to have a cover letter attached, since you are right there for the employer to ask questions.

Job Interview Questions: What's the weirdest question you've been asked on a job interview?

I've applied to some jobs and being that I'm only 15, if I do get a job interview, it would be my first one. I've heard that some employers ask really weird questions to see how you would do under pressure. I know I wouldn't do well at all, so I just want to see what kind of things are asked and how you all answer.

After the Job Interview - Stay Consistent With Your Personal Brand


  • "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?" (said in a very smug, I'm too good for you tone). My response was "Are you seriously asking me this question?" and then telling the interviewer that I didn't think I'd be the right fit for the corporate philosophy if these were the questions that they used in the interviews. I then took my time to write this in a letter as well to the corporate HR department. We wrote back and forth a few times, I met him for lunch one day when I was in that city on another job interview. I guess I impressed him because shockingly, I was offered a job by corporate to be a manager over the inept interviewer.

  • Can you Tap dance ?
    I said i didnt know but would give it a go....
    Gave it a go, looked a bit silly, broke the ice and carried on with interview.
    Would like to say i got the job but afraid this isnt a fairy tale and they gave it to some other bugger.... oh well its a good story for when iam in the pub!!
    My advice... confidence and preperation on company background will take you far, also if you dont know the answer to a question dont blag it say you dont know and could you re-phrase the question please?

    Good luck

  • Hah! One time I remember I was asked "What's up with your costume?" I said, "It's not a costume, I've worn this all my life!"

  • If you could be any cartoon character, what would you be? I totally screwed up on that one. Say you would like to be bugs bunny... very sophisticated, always gets himself out of a predicament, and a clever rabbit.

  • What kind of job is this? [a question to you, I'm 15 as well and I would like to have a job that isn't McDonald or Publix or anything similar]

  • "So tell me about yourself..."
    I went " errr....uhmmm...ah.."
    Needless to say dimwit didn't get the job, but I definitely started to learn more about myself after that.

  • i dont have a job but this guy lied he said the president called him and asked do u pick ur nose but he lied

  • One time I was asked my orientation. I said straight, then they asked, "Are you always straight, or just most of the time?"

    That guy turned out to be quite weird...

  • Have you ever been sexually abused? I said, "Not yet."

  • hello how are you today?

    it was like wow that's a little personal lol

Job Interview Questions: What kind of thank-you note should I send after a job interview?

I just had a job interview and would like to send a thank-you note to my interviewer. However, I am not sure whether to mail that person a handwritten note or send an email. Which would be more appropriate?

It's irrelevant. If they want you they'll call. A note won't change that.

Best Answers to the Trickiest Job Interview Questions


  • I do agree with the first poster a hand written thank you letter on a post card would be good to send to the interviewer. Consider that if you email him/her, they may have hundreds of email messages popping up through their computer and they may have very little chance to read it and other matters of business to attend.

    When you do send one, ensure that spelling, grammar and punctuation is correct.

  • if you can afford the postage stamp... go ahead and hand right it... it should only like 5 minuts to write a note..

    - thanks for letting me have that interview... i appracite the oppertuniy... i hope we get the chance to work together.

  • Send a formal thank you. I would just say thank you for giving me the opportunity to come interview. I look forward to working with you.

  • You can do it either way. If I were you I would type a thank you note and mail it to the interviewer.

  • Handwritten note. Isn't the prospect of possibly getting the job worth an investment in a postage stamp??

  • Handwritten notes tend to stand out in this day and age.

  • Thank you for hiring me
