Job Interview Questions: Job Interview at Blockbuster. Advice?

I recently got a job interview at Blockbuster this week and I really want and need this part time job to help pay for school. So I was wondering, what exactly is Blockbuster looking for in a potential employee because I want to win them over. Any advice or tips?

If a past/current blockbuster employee could reply that would be great.
Thanks :)

& FYI this isn't my first job.

Lethal Job Interview Mistakes

Recommended Answer:
I know you want answers from someone who's worked a Blockbuster, but I want to give you a few general tips.

Dress slightly nicer than Blockbuster's dress policy.

Always look the interviewer and other employees in the eye and be pleasant.

Offer to shake hands with the interviewer as soon as you meet them.

Make sure you tell them why you want to work at Blockbuster and that reason needs to benefit them in some way. It should not be all about you.

Tell them why you are the best candidate for the job. Hopefully it is because you are reliable, punctual, hard working, passionate about movies, dedicated to good customer service and to the success of the business.

Just remember that since they are looking for an employee, they obviously have a problem. You need to be the one who can solve that problem.

Good luck.

Job Interview Questions: Is it appropriate to send a follow up email after an in person job interview?

Should I send one? What should it say? I was thinking something along the lines of thanks again for the opportunity and if you have any more questions in regards to my qualifications I'd be happy to answer them. What do you think?

How to Ensure You Fail Your Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
Yes it is a good idea and is actually a positive thing. I read a lot today about doing them because I wasn't sure. I will do one 99% of the time unless I am not interested in the job or I know I blew the interview badly.
You can say what you said and maybe say something about the position. For ex "It sounds like both an interesting and challenging position which I feel I would be qualified for..." something like that. If they told you about the company mention something about it that you like without sounding like you are sucking up too much. :)
You can google combinations of "follow up email for interview" or some sort of wording like that and find examples and ideas.
Good luck

The Job Interview - Basic Strategies and Tactics

• Maybe whip off an email immediately after the interview and follow it up with a snail mail note reiterating your skills, etc. I'm still in the stone age, I know, but a note on paper is probably unusual these days, and might make you stand out.


• it would be much better if u send a follow up email. the HR tend to think that u enthusiastic about the job. when he chose the best candidate, u have a higher chance since u have leaved an impressive image on him.


• can't hurt.

Job Interview Questions: Confirming a job interview by phone, should I leave a voice mail if they do not pick up?

Job Interview Questions: Anxiety, lack of confidence and job interview?

I have been a trainer for 4 years, but I stopped around 2008 and I'm currently working as a clerk now. I'm planning to apply for a trainer position again but I'm having doubts if I still have the confidence to do so. Just thinking of the job interview already is giving me too much stress and anxiety. Is there a way to get a hold of myself?

What to Do Before, During and After a Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
I get interview anxiety, too. I think the best solution is to reflect on your past training experience. What did you do well? What are you most proud of in that position? How did you overcome a difficult situation?

I find it easier to practice my answers to common interview questions. Don't wait to cram the night before, start thinking about it now.

If you were a trainer for years before, you can do it again!

Special Job Interview Considerations

Job Interviews - Preparing and Getting Yourself Ready

Recommended Answer:
I think the rule of thumb on dressing is to aim for 1 level dressier than the people interviewing you. If they typically wear jeans, you wear casual-wear. If they wear dress casual then you wear suit. If you don't know what they wear, you can't go too wrong with a suit. Don't wear anything "hot" or revealing - that may be a plus at the bar but it's not in the workplace. You want to look neat, clean, pressed and professional.

They will probably ask you why you're interested in this job, what kinds of things you're good at, what kinds of things you're bad at (i.e. your strengths and weaknesses). They'll ask about relevant skills and any previous work experience. And they'll probably ask some questions designed to see if they think you'll get along with other people there. They may ask you to describe previous experiences when you handled a particular kind of situation so they can understand how you behave in that situation. Eg. when you had a disagreement with someone, when you were faced with too much work, when someone tried to get you to do something you shouldnt, etc. Above all they're looking to see if you have the skills & temperament to do their job well and be a team player.

Be positive and straightforward and don't say negative things about other people, even those you dislike or disagree with. Emphasize how quickly you can learn new things and how interested in the job you are. Don't be afraid -- they hope you're "the one" just as much as you do.

Good luck!

Job Interview Success

• don't smile too much, it looks phony
  
  don't dress like a slob
  
  Do Not lie! if you get caught you're done for!
  
  Be Confident.
  
  don't be high maintenance


• Dress conservatively. Make sure your hair is in a business fashion look and not messy. Try and not look too nervous. Watch your body language IE: the way you sit, shake hands, your posture etc. do some research into this facility so you can answer whatever questions thrown at you intelligently and you can ask certain question as well if they ask.
  They may ask you 1) why do you think you are the best person to fill this vacancy.
  2) What do you know about this facility. etc.
  
  Do not ask about your salary until they tell you..
  
  Good luck!


• Here's a great tip that took me awhile to learn!
  At the end of almost every interview, they'll ask if you have any questions. ALWAYS have some prepared! It makes you look like you've done your homework and are very interested in the position.
  Some good ones are: (if not discussed earlier)
  What are the benefits like?
  What is the salary?
  Where did the person who had this job before go? (Did they quit? Move up the ladder? Is it an entirely new position?)
  Who would I be reporting to? (Tons of people, or just one?)
  What would be the initial challenges of the newly hired person?
  What brought you [the interviewer] to this company?
  
  Above all, be calm. You'll be just fine. Good luck!
