Job Interview Questions: What's the best answer to give in a job interview?

When asked, "what is your best quality and what is your worst?" What should I say? I don't want to make myself look bad.

Job Interview Tips For You-Five Tips To Instantly Increase Your Success Rate



Recommended Answer:
Hi Rose,

I just read an article about this! Avoid the standard "I'm too committed to my work" answer. Interviewers can see right through that. They expect you to be human, so give a human answer.

For your worst attribute, be human. Give a real answer. Explain what you're doing to overcome the problem.

For your best attribute, explain what others think are your best attribute. Maybe pick something from a performance review. Explain how you used this best attribute to accomplish something for the team.

It's a trick question. If you try not to look bad, you'll look bad. You have to look a little bad, but explain what you're doing to overcome it and you'll look better.

Good luck with the interview.

    Job Interview Questions: If flying out of state for a job interview, is it ok if I ask the recruiter what the pay scale is before?

    I was offered a job interview in NYC, I am paying for my flight and hotel out there, is it proper or frowned upon if I ask what the pay range is before I buy a plane ticket just so I know that I'm not flying out there for a poorly paying job? I don't want to ruin my chances if it is a good job and they think bad of me asking.

    • This can be tricky--if you are asking the recruiter it's to be expected, Ok to ask what the Salary Range is up front. If the hiring manager, they'll think all you care about is $$$ and can be a turn off. Use this salary calculator to help you determine what the range should be. The recruiter may ask what your salary requirements are so you'll want to be prepared.

    Job Interview Questions: What to wear to a job interview?

    I have a job interview tomorrow at a recreational center. I've volunteered there before so I know the guy looking to hire me. Normally the work consists of helping the rock climb wall, work scoreboards, and supervise the gym floor. Easy job for $8.50 an hour.
    What i'd usually wear would be khaki shorts and a rec center shirt.

    What should I wear to the interview??? I'm so lost and don't know where to begin. I don't know what would be TOO formal or too casual. Any help?

    Seven Job Interview Preparation Secrets


    • Even though your dress code while you would be working is more on the casual side, as with any interview you want to "dress to impress." I would suggest wearing at LEAST button up shirt, a tie, and dress pants/khakis. I think in this instance, a full suit would be overkill.

    • Clean pressed slacks, button shirt (also clean and pressed), real shoes (not sneakers or sandals)

    • nice dark-wash jeans and a button down cotton shirt. it looks professional and clean but not too dressy

    • Good smart jeans with a shirt and not trainers! decent smart shoes
      goodluck

    Job Interview Questions: How Can I Prepare for a Group Job Interview?

    I've got a group job interview with a shoe shop later today. I feel better when it's just a one-on-one interview, and I'm feeling really anxious about it. Any tips?

    Assorted Job Interview Techniques



    Recommended Answer:
    Group interviews are often used when several positions are being filled simultaneously. They differ from individual interviews in that the candidates might be asked to take part in group activities. Employers use such activities to assess how the candidates perform in a team environment and how well they interact with other group members.

    1. Obtain a written job description from the company. Learn as much as possible about the job duties and responsibilities, so you will be better able to anticipate possible interview scenarios.

    2. Research the company in advance. Review the company's website or go to the library and read all available newspaper clippings regarding the company.

    3. Practice talking about yourself in front of a group of friends or family members. There is a good chance you will be asked to stand up in front of the group and introduce yourself and discuss your background.

    4. Role play with a friend or family member. You may be asked to take part in a situation where you need to deal with an unhappy "customer," for example, so practice will not only sharpen your problem-solving skills, but will also help you stay calm if the role-playing situation arises.

    5. Anticipate seizing a leadership role. Group interviews often require the candidates to work in teams to solve a problem, so by assuming a leadership role you can demonstrate to the employer that you possess those capabilities, which will help you stand out from your competition.

    Job Interview: Are You Sending Red Flags And Eliminating Yourself?


    • Ok plan to deep breath-in-and-out just focusing on

      your breathing as you inhale and exhale 1/2 before the interview.

      Or go early and read or take a job related study book.

      A certain amount of tension is completely normal.

      Best Wishes.

    • don,t think of it as a group as you are an individual and that is the only way to go at it.

    Job Interview Questions: What would you do at this job interview?

    Say you're at your 10:00 job interview. You finish up, the interviewer is happy, and is willing to offer you a job.

    That's all fine, except you're supposed to be at an 11:00 interview, with another company that is in the same line of work. You're sure you will get the job, but this company will give you more hours, and possibly better pay.

    What do you tell the person who just offered you a job?

    Important Job Interview Tips to Land That Job!



    Recommended Answer:
    If you're offered a job, ask for the details of the offer: salary, benefits, vacation days, etc. Then say you'll need some time to think it over.

    Go to your other interview and follow the same procedure. If you have two offers, you can then decide which one is the best fit for you.

    Do NOT accept a job offer and then turn it down immediately afterward. Your integrity and brand are very important and sooner or later actions like that will catch up with you. Your best bet is to be professional and honest.

    Good luck!

    Job Interview Mistakes To Avoid


    • Accept the job, then go to the other interview. If the other people hire you, then call and decline the first job afterall claiming some conflict had come up.

    • accept the job as you can always reject later on

    • What the other two people said. You have to do what's best for YOU, ya dig!

    Job Interview Questions: How do I best prepare for a job interview?

    I'm a recent college grad who just landed her first job interview. Aah, scary!! I've never done a formal job interview before, and I really, desperately need this job so I don't want to risk anything by not being adequately prepared. I only recently learned I should bring a copy of my resume with me. Any other tips or advice?

    If it helps, this job is data entry work in a hospital-setting, so any advice related to interviews for such a position would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you! xoxo

    Job Interviews - Last Minute Strategies


    • Be prepared to SELL yourself. Bring questions, research the hospital/company thoroughly, have notes with you, take notes during the interview, be confident, be ready to explain your accomplishments in detail and comfortably. This is an economy with stiff competition and you will need to rise above the rest. Be prepared for them to ask you directly, why they should hire you.
