First Job Interviews Made Easy For Those Leaving Education


  • "Sometimes I'm too detail-oriented. It makes me a little crazy to not have every penny accounted for, and I'll spend too much time figuring out where my account is off by fifteen cents instead of just accepting that I made a mistake somewhere and correcting the balance."

    Worked for me. Got the job.

Job Interview Feedback - Rare and Priceless



Recommended Answer:
The best answer to a question you have no clue about is "I don't know". Trust me, they're not looking to hire someone who knows everything there is to know. I already have a job. (Just kidding, of course - but everyone gets asked questions they can't answer. As long as you're honest, and you know enough to do the job, you'll do fine. Don't try to fake them out, though - they'll know.)

    Tips to Boost Your Job Interview Confidence



    Recommended Answer:
    Alright!

    I have been to plenty of Interviews and i just actually got hired 3 days ago. When you go to the interview you already know to dress appropriate. The Manager will have you sit down and will open you application, They start off by asking you things like, Why do you want this job and what are you looking for ( Part time or Full). They ask you if you are a Student in school or if you have any other jobs.

    Basically they just ask you a crap load of questions and it's best to answer them all honestly. The big questions are like " Are you willing to work weekends?" I would say YES to that, You can work every other weekend.

    And you should be all set, Goodluck!

    Job Interview Questions: Illegal job interview question?

    I am in my mid 50's and went on a job interview on Friday, on the job application, it asked for marital status, and I checked Single, never married. The interviewer saw this and asked me why I never married. Apparently, she assumed that this was due to a flaw in my character. The real truth is a very personal physical problem, but the way I see it, I'm screwed no matter how I answer that question.

    Can she legally ask that question? How should I answer that if that question is asked again?

    Recommended Answer:
    Instead of considering the *legality* of this question or any such 'edgy' question, consider the motivation behind it.

    I'm sorry to say that this could be a ploy to test you for 'persnickety-ness.'

    One of the reasons for age bias in all fields and careers for 'line-level' employees is this: younger people are perceived as being 'open minded' and 'flexible' and older people are often perceived as 'persnickety.'

    Now, I mean 'persnickety' from the EMPLOYER'S point of view, not persnickety from a social/interpersonal point of view. Here's what employers might fear about older employees:

    1) more likely to be aware of all the various employment laws and to hold the employer accountable

    2) more likely to make demands for 100% compliance with health&safety laws, break times, vacations, comp time, overtime, promotions, etc.

    You can see where I'm going here -- employers don't want employees who, upon getting hired, start citing this rule and that rule, and demanding this accomodation and that accomodation, or make frequent trips to Human Resources to threaten action 'If a person with less experience gets promoted over me' and so on.

    When the interviewer asks this question, if the candidate acts startled/angry and replies "It's against the law to ask that question" THAT CANDIDATE DOES NOT GET THE JOB. And the motivation behind asking that question was simply to expose a 'persnickety troublemaker' before they manage to make it into the company.

    Job Interview Tips


    • I don't think it is illegal to ask this question, although anyone experienced in interviewing would not ask you personal questions unrelated to the job.

      If the question is asked again, maybe the best answer you could give is just "I never married due to personal reasons." - that's true, but it doesn't go into any embarrassing details. Of course, you are well within your rights to instead say "Please don't take this the wrong way, but I prefer not to answer personal questions that don't seem to be related to the job."

    • Godzilla's response is right on. The question is designed to measure your level of tolerance when it comes to answering sensitive personal queries. The quickness of the answer is also considered.

      Good luck!

    • In the US it's illegal to include on an application or ask in an interview. But what are you going to do about it... you can't remind them this is not appropriate questions but you can't sure them over it.

      Job Interview Questions: Very confused after job interview please help?

      Went on job interview and was told I scored very high and did very well but came in #2. If I did so well and scored so high why didn't I get the job? At the end of the conversation I was asked if I was testing or interviewing anywhere else and then was told again I did very well and scored high. What's up?

      How to Answer Common Job Interview Questions



      Recommended Answer:
      I can tell you for sure what is going on since I interviewed many people. When I had one position to fill and did have two condidates that suits to it. I did the same. I choose one person to fill the position and go on for testing period. However this condidate may not well pass this testing period and that's why I better make sure that the second one will be available. So I cannot guarantee it... I can say that he is very good (and he really is) and ask whether he is taking some interviews somewhere else... That's that situation as it looks like... :))))))))))))

      Keys to a Successful Job Interview


      • someone scored higher than you, so obviously they would pursue that person before you. however they asked if you were applying anywhere else because if that person doesnt work out then you would be a good choice for the job. being second in this case doesnt mean you lose, it just means someone else got the job but you are just as qualified and would be just as much of an asset. good job for scoring so well!
