Job Interview Questions: What would an applicant with Autism or similar say in a job interview, when asked if they were a good team?

player and good communicator? Should they lie and say yes, or say no and never get offered a job?

Job Interview Tips - Winning With Ultimate Research!



Recommended Answer:
Not true. I always say I work best independently. I am very well self-directed. I can work most effectively from a home office as I find the typical office environment distracting. This covers the most difficult to request accommodations for my disability up front. If they say absolutely no to working from home, I know it is a job I won't like. And if team playing is focused on - I know it won't work either.

The No 1 Most Popular Job Interview Question - "Tell Me All About Yourself"


  • I think it would be ok to express your intent to work on it. Something along the lines of "I want to be a team player and communicate effectively" or "my goal is to hone those skills" or some such.
    Though they ask that question, most jobs put you working independent of a team most of the time anyway. Especially if you are new to the market place you can confess your inexperience BUT your willingness to put in the effort. If you are being interviewed they pretty much can already see how you communicate.

  • If you can't do the job, don't lie.

    I was rarely asked if I was a 'team player'

    you need to find a career where being a team player isn't a necessity

    there are many jobs that need people who can work independently

  • Square pegs don't fit in round holes. Find a profession where those traits are less important.

Job Interview Questions: Is it acceptable to wear my fraternity membership badge to a job interview?

Could wearing it help me or hurt me? Ill probably wear a shirt and tie to the interview.

Job Interview Tips That Lead to Job Offers



Recommended Answer:
Only wear a badge/pin if you were in a service fraternity in a field relevant to the job. Otherwise leave it at home.

Know the Common Job Interview Questions


  • It is not acceptable. No disrespect intended to your fraternity, but an employer would look on it as wearing boy-scout badges. In other words, the intention with which you wear it will be interpreted in a drastically different manner.

    Good luck with your interview. Just be yourself and it will be fine.

  • You shouldn't wear it. As evidenced by some of the answers above, some ignorant people don't understand what it means to be Greek. If they see your pin, they could hold it against you.

  • Why do you want to wear a pithy badge? If the badge reminds the interviewee of a kind of rancour/abomination, your job will be lost straight away. It's best to follow the current rule -wear smart and try your very best.

    Don't do anything risky.

  • No. It makes you look like you should still be school. Show a potential employer that your ready to move from the dorm, and int a professional setting by wearing a suit with no fraternity badge.

  • I wouldn't wear it unless there's some connection to the interviewer or company & the frat. It will seem childish.

  • NO!

Job Interview Questions: Is it appropriate to where dramatic makeup for a job interview at a makeup counter?

The makeup line is known for it's dramatic looks and colors. The person I dropped my resume off with said she loved my makeup. But would it be OK for the interview? Or should I stay conservative?

Job Interviews - What Am I Doing Wrong?



Recommended Answer:
It depends on the counter. If it was for something like MAC or Illamasqua, then sure, go for drama. If you're going for something like Clinique, do something clean and refined looking. Just research the company and if you can try to use a couple of their products just in case they ask. Good luck!

Tips to a Job Interview Presentation to Impress Your Hiring Manager


  • well they aren't hiring you just because you wear their makeup. be simple and natural, clean and professional. you want the job, not to bribe them into hiring you because you wear their makeup. if you get the job, that is the time to wear the dramatic makeup, not during the interview. no, it is NOT ok.

  • If you can go halfway (some bright but toned down and very skillfully applied), that may be better for the following reasons:

    - if it isn't the person that took your resume that will interview you, their tastes may be different

    - it is still an interview and you may meet other people administrative people so staying on a slightly conservative edge will please everyone

    Good luck with the interview.

  • Well, since it's for a makeup counter job, and the brand likes dramatic looks, i say go for it. If it were in an office, then definitely no! But it's a job for a dramatic makeup brand, so, once again, yes, you should.

  • i would play it safe and tone it down a few notches but still show you can do more than apply-you can apply certain looks and techniques while still being professional. that will really impress them if they know what theyre doing.

  • If it's a brand like Sephora or MAC then yes!
    Every chick that works there has ot on tons of make-up because it's a MAKE-UP store.
    The better your make-up is, the more impressed they'll be!
    (:

  • Well you're applying for working at a make up counter...so I say yes, it's okay. Maybe they'll be impressed by your makeup skills!

  • i think you should wear a daytime smokey eye or something more natural, and then maybe during your interview ask if it is appropriate to "go all out" with your eye makeup

  • Something unique is good :)
    dont go too crazy

  • Go medium. Not so natural bit make a statement without SCREAMING! You know?
