Job Interviews - Will Practice Help?



Recommended Answer:
No sandals or tennis shoes. A dressy pair of flats. I would wear a nice pair of pants. Dressy shirt that does not show cleavage or to much skin. Make sure to leave the cell phone in the car! Do not wear alot of make up it will make you look like a floosie. Smile, look at the interviewer with confidence. Be yourself! It is also a good thing to look up information on the company so you know what they do. Good luck and knock em dead!

English for Your Job Interview - How to Succeed


  • As a general rule, it's good to wear what you'd expect to wear on the job. If you're looking for a job out on the store floor, non-slip lace-up shoes, socks, black slacks (not jeans) and a white shirt would be about right. For an office job, a dress or a skirt and blouse, quite conservative rather than "cute", plus stockings with flat shoes or low heels (not sandals or flip-flops) would make a good impression.

    Brush your hair back into a neat style, make sure your fingernails are short and clean, and soft-pedal the makeup. No perfume.

    Good luck on your interview!

  • Look smart and professional. Not too much make up, no strong perfume. You can bring a purse.

    When I went to a supermarket interview it was a group interview. They asked what I knew of the company so have a look at their website and have an idea of how big their operation is (world wide?), are they cheap like lydles, general range or expensive. They also made us play a group picture game to see how we react to each other. Sound enthusiastic and like you want to be there, it's a piece of cake.

  • Well it's safeway....It's not like you're going to dress up in a suit or anything, you don't want to over or under dress. There's a couple of interview videos on youtube which might help you. I've had interviews in the past at gloria jeans and fcuk clothing. I just wore smart casual clothes and I got the job. As long as you don't show too much skin (leg, clevage). Good luck :)

Job Interview Questions: Is it ok for a guy to wear Cowboy boots to a job interview?

This is for factory/warehouse type work, so Blue collar work. Mine just nice well polished tan boots, not snake skins or anything. Like with a polo shirt and a pair of Khakis?

Recommended Answer:
I think it is perfectly fine,I know many guys who wear cowboy boots to job interviews,and tons of formal stuff too.

Smiling Your Way to Success in a Phone Job Interview


  • I would hope you don't have to ask this!

    However I suppose it's a reasonable question given today's social and fashion climate.

    But I cannot imagine how a plain pair of cowboy boots would be inappropriate for a blue collar work environment.

    As someone mentioned before they are pretty much loafers/wingtips with the leg covered.

  • Maybe if you're applying to be a Cowboy? Lol..

    But seriously, it's fine, if you pull your pant leg over the entire boot, they are more or less wingtips at that point...

  • Yes, clean and neat. No cow/horse poop stuck in the soles/seams. If you wear a hat remove it upon entering the office.

  • No you shoul wear a formal suit.

  • i think its fine.

I have an interview tomorrow at aeropostale, and I was wondering how should I answer that question. I had an interview at GAP and they asked me the same question except with their store name. I choked up and wasn't as articulate as I wanted to be.

The Ten Secrets For a Great Job Interview

Job Interview Questions: What do i wear to this clothes store job interview?

okay so i already had the 1st interview and now this is the second interview. its at a store called max rave. pretty much your typical clothing store. so what im thinking on wearing is black jeans because i have no slacks. some heels (what kind of heels though?) a colored shirt or a white ruffled shirt and a black blazer...is that too much black??
please give me your opinions on what i should wear and if you've worked at a fashion store tell me and tell me what you wore (= thankk youu( =

Best Job Interview Tip - You're The STAR



Recommended Answer:
Easy way to figure this out is if roles were reversed and someone came in to interview wearing what you were wearing would you hire them?

Heels should be shorter and closed toe. White shirt is good but if you have a nice, pressed and clean colored shirt wear that. Don't wear to many accessories. Keep it simple. Good Luck.

Job Interview Questions: Is it okay to have painted nails for a job interview?

I have an interview tomorrow at a trendy clothing store. I've heard that it's considered unprofessional to go to an interview with painted nails, but do you think this is an exception? Or is this standard completely old-fashioned? If I went with painted nails, they would probably be a dark purple color. Also, if you have any advice as to anything else that I should do to prepare for my interview, please feel free to include suggestions.

HOW to Answer Job Interview Questions



Recommended Answer:
For a fashion job I'd say yes to polish, no to purple. You want to look professional and you want to look good. The person doing the interview is going to decide whether you're someone that they would want to buy clothing from as well as if you look like you're someone who should be making fashion suggestions. Keep it simple, keep it clean, don't try to make a fashion statement.
If possible make sure you know as much as you can about the lines the store carries.
Smile like you're finally home.
Best of luck!

Types of Job Interview Questions


  • If it were me, and I wanted some polish on my nails, I would go with a pale pastel shade or something neutral. Once you get hired, (good luck with the interview) you can see what the others wear and conform with them.

  • it's a TRENDY clothing store. So, I don't think anything is wrong with that. As long as its not a loud color where its distracting the interviewer. dark purple is fine.

  • yes it is sooooooo okay you wany to look yor best

Job Interview Questions: Can i sue for discrimination as a result of a job interview?

I think they are not going to hire me because of something I said in the interview unrelated to the job. They took me to lunch and in the elevator there was a bad smell. I guess I was nervous because when we got out I said that it wasn't me behind the smell. They looked at me funny and were different to me after that. Can I sue based on discrimination if they were white males? Serious answers only please.

Tips For Facing a Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
You could sue them if you have a gastro-intestinal condition which causes chronic flatulence, and they refused to hire you because of that.
Unless it was an application for a job at a beauty counter where aroma is important because it would make it hard to sell the perfumes due to the conflicting odor.

How to Improve Your Job Interview Skills


  • No.

    You are not entitled to be hired. And the failure of white males to hire you doesn't mean that you were discriminated against.

    If you think they are not going to hire you based on your inappropriate humor, you need to work on dealing with your nerves in a more professional manner not on your litigation techniques.

  • Seriously?

    You're going to play the race card after you made an inappropriate comment in front of them?

    **sigh**

    Yes, you can sue for discrimination. No, you will not win based on what you wrote here.

  • {{{{facepalm}}}}

    Only if you can prove you were discriminated against based on EEOC guidelines.

    Keep in mind that trolls are not a protected classification

  • Are you kidding me?

    You have no case for a lawsuit. They are not obligated to hire you even before you made a comment.

  • Not unless you can prove you was discrimated against I'm sorry to say

  • You're either a troll or an idiot. Great -- let's find yet another excuse to play the race card!

  • No. Bad manners is a good excuse to not hire someone.

  • yeah go ahead and sue im sure the judge could use a good laugh

  • damn anything for weed huh playa

  • i think it sounds good to me! Just don't change your mind and wear any skirts because the interviewers would rather not like to see your bare legs when ur trying to get a job. That was my mistake when trying to get hired

Job Interview Questions: What should i wear to my first job interview (17yo)?

I have my first job interview on Tuesday it is for an apprenticeship in Construction if that helps.
p.s im not wearing a suit , that's not right for a 17 y.o
thanks

Nervous About an Upcoming Job Interview? Just Focus on the Three Interview Objectives



Recommended Answer:
Actually a suit is appropriate no matter the age or the profession. Lose the attitude as it may affect your chances of getting the job. I hire numerous people and those that take that amount of care always present the best.

If you do not feel comfortable in a suit, especially considering the job would not require you to wear one then I would suggest 'smart casual' This means something you would wear to dinner perhaps. NO jeans, flip flops, t-shirts.
I would recommend clean casual shoes, neat ironed pants, a button up shirt or a collared shirt.

From an employers point of view if you dress sloppy and too casual then that is what your work might be like so you will not get hired. It is harsh but true.

Good luck with the interview.

Stress And That New Job Interview


  • Anything dressy as long as it isn't trashy.

  • Jeans and a shirt?

    Trousers and a shirt and a jumper?

  • I would reccommend wearing something smart to any kind of job interview - whatever your age - whatever the position.

    Preferably a suit but as someone else suggested, certainly not jeans/trainers/t-shirt etc.

    First impressions are VERY important and the interviewer normally makes their mind up on that alone!

  • Do you know if you will be expected to demonstrate any abilities, or be expected to walk around the area?

    I would dress a step up from blue jeans and t-shirt. If you have some sturdy dress pants and a polo shirt, that would be a good option.

    Do not dress in shorts and t-shirt. I agree about the suit. It's not necessary, but you do want to dress a step up from what you will normally wear to work.

  • According to: www.employmentguide.com/careeradv…
    It says where a collared shirt with a tie.
    If you go for that sort of job you have to dress casual unfortunately.
    Boring i rekon :P
    anyway good luck
    xx
    EDIT: If you wear a suit, you will look like a dork so do NOT listen to the other answerers!
    Its construction,not much of a deal.

  • Your right a suit is not appropriate for construction.But I would wear a nice button down shirt and jeans or dockers as long as they don't look
    bad and tennis shoes. I don't think they expect a 17 yr old to show up in a suit,unless your applying for a internship in the government,or on wall street.

  • Professional dress is most appropriate for any job interview. If you can manage it, I think a dress shirt and tie with slacks would be best. Or at least a very crisp polo and slacks, dress shoes of course. As neat an appearance as possible.

  • yes sir re, a suit will get you in the door, they like to see that you like the best.

Job Interview Questions: Any advice for a job interview at Cracker Barrel?

I have a job interview tomorrow at cracker barrel. Do you guys have any advice? Just Job interview advice in general will be helpful.

Job Interview Issues - How To Dress To Match The Interview



Recommended Answer:
Take a deep breath and relax. Leave yourself time to get there 5-10 minutes early so you seem interested, and you'll be less stressed. It's not impressive to show up exactly at the time of the interview since they'll wonder about your punctuality (you never know whose watch is set 2 minutes ahead).

Body language and habits are very important. Hold yourself professionally and make sure not to slouch. Try to sit still and not engage in any distracting habits like playing with your hair, because the interviewer will focus on this. Practice shaking hands (firm but not overly strong) as this will be one of the first impressions you make.

Speak with confidence. Try to avoid using the word "like" or "um". Smile a lot and be genuinely cheerful. Make sure to answer the interviewers' questions without giving extra detail that could count against you (for instance, don't launch into a long story if that's not what they're asking). It helps to practice answering common questions (What's your best/worst quality? Why do you want to work here? Describe a stressful situation and how you handled it. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? If you google it, you should be able to find lists online).

Good luck :)

    Sales Job Interviews - The Most Important Preparation Question


    • Go to the store and see what the people there are wearing and dress like them. That way the interviewer will feel like you will fit in with his/her team.

      Also, it's a jewelry shop. Be sure to wear some nice jewelry, even if you have to borrow some. It should be appropriate for your age (don't try wearing a 5 carat diamond!) and should match your outfit.

      By the way, you spelled "jewelry" wrong. Take your time and be sure to spell things correctly if you have anything else to fill out before getting the job!

    • a black pencil skirt, black basic closed-toe heels, and a white (or light pink, purple, teal, etc) blouse tucked in

    • wear what the other employees are wearing. but up it.
