Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview and need advice?

the job interview is at Bill Miller Bar-B-Q. i just want to know like more or less what they will be asking me.
also what should i wear?
what do i have to take? (like my ID and what else?)
any other tips and advice would be GREAATTTTT

(this is my first job interview ever, only 16)

What to Say During a Job Interview: 3 Steps to Interview Answers That Will Get You Hired



Recommended Answer:
ok, I know you're just interviewing at a local bar-b-q place, but have a look at the following two articles. One is written as if you're interviewing to be a manager - but the same advice applies to everyone. The other is written from the perspective of the manager doing the interview. Knowing how the other side thinks will help you understand what they are looking for.

Ideally, be smarter, better dressed, more dedicated, more impressive than anyone else!

Job Interview Success Checklist


  • make sure you wear something professional and act like you have the job. Have confidence and smile. Make sure your cell phone is put away on vibrate or turned off. Make sure you listen to all of the questions completely, then answer. Don't chew gum. Mints are always good! I doubt if you would need an ID unless you were told to bring one. Act like you have the job! That really is impressive (confidence, pride, excitement, like you want to be there :).)
    Some questions that I was asked:
    1. Why do you want to work here?
    2. What made you apply? Were you recommended?
    3. What are some of the qualifications and skills that you can bring to the job?
    4. Your availability
    5. Things about your previous jobs (volunteering counts too)
    These all are basic questions to think about that most employers ask. Hopes this work for you, GOOD LUCK!

Job Interview Questions: Heels or flats for a job interview?

I have a job interview in a salon and I am undecided which would be best to wear. They each give off a different feel and I am unsure which is best. Please help!

Recommended Answer:
wear heels

Tips to Ace Your Insurance Job Interview


  • Depending on the type of place you're going for an interview at, I believe at a more conservative place with conservative bosses, I suggest you wear some nice black flats or some heels with just 2-3 inches heel. I think if you're going to work in a hair salon, I'd say go for heels since you would be standing for a long time and you don't want to kill your feet.

  • Pick the one you can walk in quickly and the one that is comfortable.

    For me the high-heels are uncomfortable and make it difficult for me to walk. I prefer the flats because you never know when you may have to walk a ways to the conference area or go on a tour of the salon.

  • Flats, they look more professional, but if you really want heels, nothing more than 3 inches

  • flats,
    they;re comfortable, stylish, and casual, you don't want to seem to formal/trashy(depending on the heels)
    goodluck!

  • it depends on where the interview is at... i personally would go for heels but thats cuz i'm short and i would like to come off as perfessional that way when i shake the hand of someone taller than me i can look them in the eye

  • try a fancy sandal, or a very low heel. For more fashion tips or questions check out my channel :) hope it helps!

  • i say FLATS! ;)
    they're more comfortable and makes u look easy going and cute.
    and goood luck on the interview!!!! :D

  • i say heels because it says i can do my job but i have my style

Job Interview Questions: How do you answer this job interview quest?

What if I have an interview tomorrow at Marshalls and they ask "Where do you see yourself in this compnay in 5 years?". My friend who use to work at Marshalls said that they asked this question during the interview.

I dont want to sound fake, and I really don't see myself working at Marshalls in 5 years, hopefully I can have a better job as an intern or something. What's the professional and down to earth answer to this quest?

Job Interview Secret - A Positive Closing in the Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Say what you want to be doing and be honest, but include afterwards how you think working at Marshals will help you get to that point. They might be an employer, but they're also human and know your lying when you say you want to be a cashier for them for the rest of your life.

Tell Me About Yourself - Job Interview Answers


  • I would tell them: " I don't see myself working here in five years. I'm interested in working with you, I'd like the opportunity, however I have other aspirations beyond this."

  • Tell them that you want to progress in their company from whatever position you're applying for.

  • the question that i just asked about a tanning bed job interview is almost exactly like this :) check mine out! itll give you the answer

  • FAKE

  • This will help to show the interviewer that the role is part of your grand plan and that you'll use the job to develop and progress. Also, over a ten year period it is probably quite safe to suggest that you might not be at the company by then, however you should try and avoid indicating that you don't plan on sticking around for long.

    If you're not entirely sure about what you'll be doing - especially if this is your first job - then it is usually fine to say that you don't know but you hope that the role will give you a greater insight into an area in which you're are interested in.

Job Interview Questions: Tough Question How to get your manager's permisson to go to a new job interview?

I want to take some hours off, because I have a job interview I was waiting for months. How to tell the manager I need some hours off without giving him an idea about my undertaking? Is it better to pretend I am sick, or to just say 'I am sorry I have some important things to do', or to lie again and say someone is sick? I can't lie but my friend says I have to.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Thanks

Tips For Job Interviews - Information You Need to Know



Recommended Answer:
Don't say doctor, they will ask for a note. Say personal time, if they insist, appointment at the house to do work, or financial consult, something that does not require a note. Drivers test, insurance claim, taking family member to a personal appointment.

Job Interview Skills: Four Critical Mistakes to Avoid!


  • Good one, Curious if a note is not needed to return to work. If your company gives you PTO (personal time off) hours, I'd use those then you don't have to tell them anything, just put in for the time.

  • I need to leave around 1:00 today, i have an important personal appointment that I cannot change { best to give a couple days notice on it.}

  • Tell him you have a doctor's appointment. Not entirely honest, but it works.

Job Interview Questions: What should I wear to this job interview?

I'm 15 & i have a job interview with Target. Any ideas on what to wear?

Job Interviews - More Tips and Secrets to Help You Change Careers



Recommended Answer:
slacks or dress pants or whatever u want to call them in a neutral color like black or navy. or a knee length skirt. a simple button down blouse in a neutral cream or white. sensible, conservative dress shoes. like a black dress flat or small chunk heel. nothing open toed, no stilettos, etc. pull ur hair back conservatively, like in a bun or something. don't wear too much makeup or perfume. any jewelry should be understated, tasteful and classy. no dangle earrings or plastic and string bracelets going half way up ur arm. the most important thing to wear is a smile and eye contact.

Job Interviewing Tips - Success Through a Thank-You-Letter


  • Being fifteen, you want to give your interviewers the impression that, while young, you are still professional and a hard worker. Employers worry that younger people aren't as willing to work hard, as stupid as that is! That being said, you should dress conservatively and in something that fits well-- not too tight (especially if you're larger) or too baggy. I would personally advise dress pants, and do make sure they're hemmed above the floor. Avoid khakis if you can, since those give off a more casual tone. Close-toed heels are good, but if you're a more comfortable person, some nice flats do the trick as well! You probably know what kind of top to wear-- something clean, nice, flattering. Jewelery is a nice touch, and so is a little bit of makeup. Mainly you just want to look clean and freshly-pressed.

    More important than the clothes is the way you carry yourself, however, so remember that! Do fidget in your clothes and keep your posture straight. If you feel confident, you'll confident, and that's what they want. (; Good luck!

    I do also advise searching some websites for some tips on dressing, just so you feel confident about your choices!

  • actually it depends on the company

    if the company is a large company such as law firms, or even small companies but is business related go with a business attire which is comfortable, if you want to wear a skirt, the skirt shouldn't be very sexy

    if the company is like a mini restaurant or other small firms just go smart casual

  • Always, with any job interview, one should wear business attire.

    Guys, this means coat and tie. Ladies, a business suit.
    you should dress to impress. The person giving the interview forms half of their opinion of you before you even say a word. Dress to impress.

  • Something cute and professional

  • buisness casual, button up collared shirt and kahki's

Job Interview Questions: What shoes should I wear to a job interview?

I have a job interview at a grocery store and I was wondering if it would be okay to wear black flats??

Countdown to Job Interview? Know What to Expect and Launch Your New Career



Recommended Answer:
lol rather then focusing on shoes, try checking out your resume and make sure it's professionally done. And of course you should be aware of the type of job you are applying for..

Good luck with it, and as long as your presentable you will get it for sure!

Job Interview Technique - 6 Tips To Get Yours Up To Scratch


  • Assuming the rest of your outfit matches, black flats are just fine. A grocery store is a different work environment than say a bank. So it's ok to dress down more. Even a nice pair of sneaks is ok! The goal is to look presentable. So as long as you look nice and professional, you'll be ok.

    And fyi, to the expert who said you should focus more on your resume than your shoes, let me say this. More and more interviewers are zeroing in on one's footwear! And the reason is because that tends to be the one overlooked detail among job seekers. In other words, job seekers will check their resumes, tops, pants, makeup, hair, ties, and jewlery. But they'll often forget about their shoes. Yes, they'll match. But they may have forgotten to polish them up. Or they'll have lots of creases or look like they've been work hundreds of times before.

    This is something I've mentioned to job seekers who've attended my free job hunting workshops. So to all of you out there, don't forget to check your footwear because lots of interviewers will immediately look right there!

  • just make sure that your clothes are clean and are acceptable for a job interview as first impression count. Just don't wear shoes that are too casual, like sneakers or thongs or sandals ... black flats would be good, if you are wearing pants ... not jeans ...

  • Yes, that's exactly what you should wear!! (:

  • absolutely yes. No high heels

  • yes, those are perfect!

Job Interview Tips


  • Hey,

    When you face an interviewer, it all reduces down to how you present yourself. Here are seven simple steps on how it's possible for you to improve your interviewing skills:

    1. Get ready for the interview - Dress suitably, turn your telephone off.

    2. Research - Use all of your resources to be certain that you know the fundamentals about the company.

    3. Be cool!

    4. Don't undersell yourself - In the course of the interview, answer the questions momentarily and correctly. The key is to be truthful.

    5. Raise questions - Should you run into a tricky interviewer, don't be threatened.

    6. Wrap it up - As you close to the end of the interview, ensure that all bases are covered.

    7. Chase up - Send that vitally important many thanks note after the interview.

    Hope it helps, Good Luck!

  • okay ive been working as a server for 2 years now and the way i got my job was simple, when you go in for your interview dress nice, pants and a nice shirt, lie on every question they ask you to make yourself seem better, for example if they ask you why you want the job dont say to buy clothes or something, say i really want to start early on saving for college and a car. ex: why do you want to work here particularly? answer: ive been coming here ever since i was a kid and i really like how well run this resteraunt is, plus im a team worker and i really feel like i would do a good job. once you get the job you have it ... shake there hand, make eye contact, thats very important

  • Customers customers customers..

    thats what restaurants want to hear.. im guessing u will be a host at that age..

    for me u HAD to dress up in long sleeve shirt and dress pants and dress shoes.. i dont know what the equivalent would be for a woman but thats how dressed up u need to be..

    But definately let them know ur all about the customers but not in a corny way and dont be shy open up a little...
