PLEASE HELP!

How to Prepare for a Successful Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
IMO, exfoliating was a bad idea because you're just aggravating your raw, sensitive skin even more!

Slap on moisturiser like there's no tomorrow. My nose was peeling like a ***** yesterday and I've been reapplying moisturiser practically every hour if I remember! Clinique's Moisture Surge is great. It's something you put over your moisturiser so that's twice the kick! I am practically normal now. Also, put on a moisturising mask. And use a moisturising liquid foundation for your interview. Good luck!

Im 18, and a senior in highschool. Most my wardrobe consists of jeans and tshirts, some of my jeans are pretty nice, i have one pair of slacks, that are a little too short, and all my shoes are sneakers or uggs. helpp???

Job Interview Advice - Dos and Don'ts For Your Big Day



Recommended Answer:
ideally you shouldnt wear jeans and sneakers. but if you cant afford a new outfit just try to look as neat and clean as possible. dark jeans and shoes, light shirt. maybe you can even bring up the subject of your outfit during the interview, apologizing for not dressing a little more appropriately and that you would dress better if you had the clothing. i wouldnt worry about it too much; its a fast food place, not a bank

Job Interview


  • Just try looking your best don't over do your make up or hair. Honestly what is most important is how you answer whatever questions are asked and be honest they're job is to hire someone that would be a good employee for there business not a bad one that they like. And remember eye contact and when the interview is over have a good firm handshake and don't forget to thank them either. Good luck. :)

  • i would wear a nice dress and curl my hair, put a little make up on. they want to make sure you are pretty and fresh, want someone young, energetic, and talkative-good personality or outgoing

  • Certainly not jeans. You should never wear jeans to an interview. They will look down at you. Maybe some nice black pants, Black leather enclosed shoes and a nice button up shirt.
    Sounds like you need to go shopping.
    Sneakers or uggs will look really bad. :(

Job Interview Questions: About how long does it take until you get a call for a job interview?

after you fill out an app. for the job, how long does it take for them to call you? i know not everyone gets called but if you do how long would it take? it is only for subway and a grocery store.

What To Do And Not To Do In A Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
whatever you do.... do not listen to those that gave you those websites.. they are scams.. There is no "easy" way to make money.. And no online jobs

Maybe up to 2 weeks before you get a call.. After a few days I would call them and just politly ask if they have had a chance to review your application.. It helps make you look truly interested and they will pay extra attention to it.. (hopefully)

Good luck

Mistakes to Avoid When Answering Tricky Job Interview Questions


  • Sometimes they call you the same day, other times it can take over a month.

    But if you need a part time job right away you might want to check out cashcratenow.info

    You can earn some extra cash without having a real job.

  • It could take anywhere from a day to a month. A job that I applied for once called me a month and a half later for a phone interview... You just have to be patient.

Job Interview Questions: Should i go to a Vector Job interview or is it a scam?

i got a random call from Vector-the company that sells knives and things- is it even worth going? I have done research and everything i come across says it is not worth is because i will end up paying more for the job than i would get paid. Should i cancel because i dont want to waste my time?

Job Interview Success: 6 Tips to Get You the Job You Want



Recommended Answer:
I went to one of their meeting couple of years ago. They will ask you for $500 deposit for the set of knives that you will take out to show your clients. Don't do it. It's just a scam. It doesn't even look good on a resume. My friend did it so that he can put a sales experience on his resume but it doesn't even count.

What You Need to Know About Job Interview Questions


  • I've heard the same thing. I've seen people say that they could make decent money selling the knives, but that going to the mandatory weekly meetings ate up time and gas money to the point where it was not worth participating.

    I'm sure some people have a good experience with it, but it's not for everybody. I wouldn't go if you don't think you could be successful at selling the knives. And if you think you would be good, you'd definitely want to make them tell you up front about any mandatory meetings before you sign the dotted line.

  • its not a scam i went to the interview about 6 months ago. its legit. the only thing is that your selling knives and kitchen stuff. there's a catch. in the job posting they make it sound like a customer service job, which it kind of is, but your really just like a door to door salesmen ON YOUR OWN selling stuff...you know how hard that is? who will welcome you in to there house with a bag full of knives? you can sell to local restaurants and stuff but if you cant sell, your stuck without money. the good thing is if you don't make money they don't fire you and in there office they show postings of peoples profits on the board. some people make crazy money. they do have really good products, they demonstrate them all to you during the group interview, but this kind of job is only for hardcore door to door salesmen. it wasn't for me i got hired but when i found this out i called them back to say never mind...

  • My cousin did it. It's not worth it.

  • its a scam

Job Interview Questions: How would I dress "professionally" for a job interview at a clothing department store?

I don't understand if I'm suppose to dress business professionally or to dress nice. I don't really have any else besides a dress suit, so that might be a little much. By the way, the interview is for Kohls.

The Inevitable Job Interview Question: "Why Did You Leave (Are Planning To Leave) Your Last Position



Recommended Answer:
The rule of thumb is to always dress one step higher than the position you are applying for. Wear the suit, but don't actually wear the jacket, simply have it with you. Make sure your appearance is neat, tidy and would reflect well on the store for which you would be a representative.

Questions to Ask in the Job Interview - How to Nail Your Job Interview


  • A dress suit might be a bit too much. Try maybe the pants with the suit and a dress blouse in a bright fashionable color. Some ruffles might be nice too. Bring the jacket folded up nicely in a bag and leave it in a large purse or your car. If it's professional, you can always grab it.

Job Interview Questions: What should I wear to my Job interview if I'm planning to be a cook?

I was called in for an interview for tomorrow and I was wondering what I should wear. The restaurant is called Zippy's (if you know what that is). It's a local restaurant here in Hawaii and I was thinking I don't have to wear a suit right? I just graduated High school and I was planning to wear slacks or jeans with a plain color dress shirt.

Job Interview Questions: What are some important questions to ask employers in a job interview?

I found ton of books in public library on interview techniques. I want to ask fellow members who might have a input or experience.
Business Analyst role.

Job Interviews - Six Blunders to Avoid



Recommended Answer:
I always advise job seekers to focus on three types of questions:
1. Questions that show you did your homework -- for example, a question based on a recent article that mentioned the employer.
2. Questions that show that you are listening & thinking.
3. Questions that combine 1 & 2. (I recently read in the Wall Street Journal that your company is implementing PeopleSoft. How are your business analysts involved in making this project successful?)

Finally, ask questions that show that you are curious about how you can help the company succeed. Good luck!

    Job Interview Questions: Should you or should you not make a follow up call after a job interview?

    my mom went to the ritz carlton for a job interview last monday.

    the lady called her friday and said to resubmit her application online on monday.

    she did that.

    my mom says "she is a very busy woman. you don't call unless they ask you to. this is an expensive hotel, not mcdonalds."

    I told her to just call and let her know that she filled the application out. she said if she did they wouldn't hire her because she would be bothering them.

    I don't understand.

    How to Prepare for a Successful Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    First thing is she does have a reason to call the lady back. All she needs to do is call the lady back to ask if she received her resubmitted application. Then she should ask if there was anything else the lady may need from her as she looks forward to working there. I wish here the best. Good luck

    Job Interviews - What Makes a Great Interview Candidate?


    • YES!

      It is very professional and will set you apart from the rest if you call.

      I highly recommend to your mom that she call.

    • Absolutely call, even if it's to leave a message. Show some interest and initiative.

    • I think it is important to show interest above the rest. I would call after waiting a week.

    Job Interview Questions: Will this effect my job interview?

    I was caught shop lifting a while back but the police gave me a warning.

    I know, i was stupid. I've been clean ever since.

    I have a job interview tomorrow at Aeropostale and they do a background check on criminal records and everything. Will the theft be on my records?

    I'm a bit scared now. Should i stil go to the interview?

    Techniques To Avoid Job Interview Stress



    Recommended Answer:
    You should still go.

    If the police only issued you a warning, it probably won't show up. Can you contact the police department and ask them?

    There's always someone there. You could call right now. MAKE SURE you use the NON-EMERGENCY number!!!

    Should it come up in the interview, you could say that you made a terrible mistake, you're very sorry and embarrassed about it. You have learned a lot about yourself because or since then (if that's true of course. Be prepared to mention WHAT you've learned.)

    And ask to be put on the greeting/folding duties for a probationary period until you've had your first employee review.

    Don't bring it up voluntarily though. It probably won't even be mentioned.

    How to Perfectly Answer Job Interview Questions Without Breaking a Sweat


    • If you were given a warning then it wont show up on your record. Especially if you are a minor you have nothing to worry about, I'm guessing that if you are applying there then you are. Good luck.

    • If your honest you won't get hired, if you lie and they find out, you won't get hired. If it's not on your record then your safe. Tough call, you need to look into it to see what your record says. After you find out you can apply for a job with a peace of mind. Good luck!

    • A warning will not show up on your record, only a conviction. Also you were a minor, so your record would be sealed anyway.
      Don't let this incident hold you back from a good job. To be safe you can call county where warning was given.

    Job Interview Questions: What to wear to a job interview? 17 year old?

    I'm not worried about how to answer or anything, I just want to know what is appropriate to wear.
    It is a job interview for a Burger Place, not like McDonalds, a nicer, like sit down place.
    Do I just wear nice jeans, and a polo? Or do I dress it up more with like black pants, and so forth?

    Job Interview Training For Managers - Will's Story



    Recommended Answer:
    It's not necessary to wear a suit with tie for this interview. Seeing that you're 17, it's not likely that you even own a suit. If you do, they probably don't expect it anyway; it's a burger place. When you go in for the interview, the manager most likely won't even be wearing a suit!
    It's important for any interview you go to to dress the part.
    If you're interviewing for a burger place where you'd be a waiter, wear a polo with decent pants (not dress, and not jeans; maybe Dickie's). If it's an office, yeah, wear a suit. But that's not necessary (or appropriate) here.
    It's much more important to conduct yourself professionally at the interview - especially if you're interviewing for a waiter position.
    And tuck your shirt in.

    Top 10 Job Interview Disasters


    • Wear a dress shirt and dress pants, a tie even. It doesnt matter if you are applying for a garbage man position or for CEO at google, always dress up for an interview.

    • Dress shirt, tie and dress pants. EVERY interview, even for places like McDonald's. You might actually get the job.

    • Dress up

      Job Interview Questions: Is is appropriate to wear diamond jewelry to a job interview?

      I inherited a one caret diamond solitare, diamond stud earrings and a diamond necklace that I wear everyday, along with my own wedding rings containing diamonds. I don't want people to think that I am wealthy, but wonder if I should take them off to go to a job interview. I am currently unemployed and have had several interviews but still no job a year later. Are interviewers "put off" by my jewelry?

      How to Prepare Yourself for a Job Interview



      Recommended Answer:
      It may depend on the job, but I think the employer would be more concerned with the way you present the ways you will be a valuable asset to the company. Many companies like the fact that their employees will come to work presentable. Once you get the job check out www.brilliance.com/ for your holiday shopping!

      5 Job Interview Answers to Avoid


      • i dont think its inappropriate or anything lke tht but if u r wearing something rlly thick and sparkly then lay oiff....the studs r fine, the rings r fine, and if the necklace is not something to big then go ahead.... interviewers shud not b put of if the whole outfit and jewelry put together make u look professional....

      • I would say keep the studs and wedding rings (You shouldn't ever have to take off your wedding and engagement bands!) but don't wear the necklace.
        The goal of interview attire is to say nothing about your personality except that you are smart and professional. (Unless you are in a creative field, but I don't think you are based on your question) It's best to err on the side of minimalism with interviews.

      • I don't think it matters if you wear diamonds as long as you look smart and presentable, although if you feel that it may be a bit much for an interview then lean the diamonds at home.
        good luck with the interview im sure your find something soon!

      • Sorry to hear you are having problems with finding a job, I think it is more to do with the current climate than your jewels.If you wear them everyday then they are a part of you and you should always be yourself. Good Luck

      • I wouldn't wear the 1ct solitaire (unless it's the engagement ring). With the necklace, if it's just a pendant, it should be fine. The stud earrings should be fine also, unless they are bigger that 1/2 ct each. It also depends what kind of job you are looking for. Have a look how other people in that position are dressed and how much jewelry they wear. If possible, check this out at the company you are going to for an interview.

      • No one should judge a person by their jewelry unless you are talking about Mr T type of gold chains, rings and bracelets.

        Diamond solitaire and diamonds studs are worn by most business women every day because they are simple yet elegant which shows a good taste in jewelry and fashion. Not sure whatthe necklace looks like but maybe you can leave it off for the interview.

        Of course all this will depend on the person interviewing, the compay and the job position but you should comfortably wear your diamond solitaire and diamond studs.

      • as long as it is elegant and tasteful, it shouldn't be a problem unless you are trying to get a job in some type of resteraunt. Then you are not supposed to wear jewelry because it can fall off into the food or bags or get caught in dangerous cutting machines. Also, You may be making yourself look very wealthy and if they feel you don't need the job, you may not care enough about it. It may not be the jewelry at all. Re-look over your resume's. It's hard getting a job these days. They may think you are looking for too much money. Diamonds are classy and go with just about everything. good luck.
