    Job Interview Questions: Job interview tomorrow. What should I respond to about weaknesses?

    I'm applying a job at a hospital for an EP [Electrophysiology] Technologist. I had interned with them previously so I'm not super on edge about it since I know them but I always have difficulties answering what my weaknesses are. I have them I know, but I don't really know what they are? Any advice on some good answers?

    3. "What's Your Biggest Weakness?"

    What are you supposed to do -- tell them why they SHOULDN'T hire you?

    The "weakness" question is popular with interviewers not because they want to torture you, but because they're interested in hearing how you tackle challenges.

    The most important thing to remember is that after you name your weakness, you MUST discuss what you have done to overcome it.

    Pick a weakness that is real but understandable or relatively harmless. Whatever weakness you pick, be sure that it is work-related ("I have a tendency to overfeed my dog" is NOT an appropriate weakness) and that you present the strategies for how you overcame it.

    Here are a few examples:"I used to have a tendency to procrastinate. So now I am always sure to set a strict schedule for all of my projects well in advance and I set personal deadlines. This organization has really helped.""Once in a while, I focus too much on the details of a project. So now, when I'm working on a project, I always make sure at the end of the day to sit back and take a few minutes to think about the general scope of my work. It forces me to keep priorities straight and helps me keep the right mindset.""I used to have some problems with organization. So now I carry a schedule book around throughout the day and I also use this Palm Pilot to keep me on track. It's worked out great!"

    You don't want to pick a weakness that will torpedo your chances -- even your weakness should speak strongly toward your skills. The examples above all address honest weaknesses; here are a few other "safe" weaknesses that are easy to discuss:I tend to be a perfectionist.
    I sometimes work too hard, leading to unnecessary stress.

      Secrets to Answering Job Interview Questions About Your Weaknesses



      Recommended Answer:
      Be charismatic and have massive product knowledge. Study about the companies and say you are willing to learn.

      And if you do go for a job at LVMH, whatever you do, do NOT carry a fake!

      Job Interview Techniques - How to Crack the Interview Code


      • If you are getting a job interview with no work experience, congratulations!

        What you need to demonstrate through your answers to questions are how you will be able to deliver results, despite lack of experience.

        Think about various situations where you may have done some relevant experience and the results you were able to do.

        For instance, I don't know what type of work this is about, so I will use a generic example.

        Let's say you are starting at the bottom rung in the company (be willing to take a lower job to gain experience) and this is a receptionist job....what you share is a example of how you were able to handle a busy situation with a lot of issues vying for your attention and how you completed 15 projects that day while juggling about 200 phone calls all with a smile on your face.

      • It will be a challenge because you are bound to be up against people with a proven track record in the field. Your best bet would be to write to the kinds of companies you want to work for and see if they can offer you any work experience. It would be unpaid but if you do a good job they would most likely offer you a job. Most of the time it's not what you know it's who you know so doing work experience is a good opportunity to meet people who can further your career.

      • Emphasize on your degree and how ear ger you are to learn. Best Wishes.

      Job Interview Questions: Im 33weeks pregnant n I have been called for a Job Interview.Is it right 4me to go?Wil it affect my chances?

      Will being pregnant affect my chances of passing a Job Interview? I am 33 weeks pregnant and I have been called for a job interview, so
      I dont know if I should go or not because I think they wont take me because I am pregnant. Will being pregnant make the Interviewer not be interested in employing me?

      Tips to Ace Your Insurance Job Interview



      Recommended Answer:
      Would you employ someone who is 33weeks preggy and yet have to pay her during maternity now when there are people out there dying for a job?

      From a practical employer standpoint, your chance of new employment will be slimmer. However, if you have a decent working experience with good industry reputation, the new employer might just take you.

      Job Interview Tips


      • I would think so, since you will not be working soon in about 3-4 weeks you will be on maternity leave. They advertise to find someone they need to employ quite soon and that they are going to be working longer than 3-4 weeks before they have enforced time off.
        I think they will pick the candidate who can devote their time to their new post at least for a longer period of time. Some people are given say a 6 month trial basis and if you are not there most of those 6 months then it would be pointless.

        If I was an employer I would probably decline you and ask you to re-apply for a future post when you have yourself available for work. I think that may be the answer you will expect.

      • I learnt in business studies that some employers do not employ people who have children because it may affect the working times of the employees, Which is against the law i think, but its not right.

        Go for it, and if you explain your situation and how you and the father will be looking after teh baby, they may be comforatable with you working at the job

        Good luck

      • well there would not be much point in hiring somene who is going to be unavailable in 7 weeks time.

        IF they dont hire you for that reason, then it is discrimination, but its up to you to say how soon you think you will be back at work. And beleive me they WILL ASK.

      • Possibly - meaning it could go against you. But then again it may not. There's only one way to find out. Go to the interview, you've got nothing to lose.

      • You should go. I myself most likely would not hire you because you will soon be out of maternity leave, but not everyone is me.

      • Oh Please ... I would throw you out for wasting my time ....

      Job Interview Questions: How long does a job interview last?

      My first job interview is today. I'm just a student so I'm wondering how long will the interview last?

      Tips to Ace Your Insurance Job Interview



      Recommended Answer:
      It all matters what kind of job you are interviewing for and if this is the first interviews.

      The first interview is usually the shortest one. For a lower level or entry level interview I would say 30 minutes to an hour.

      The more important the job the more time. I've seen interviews last days. However, the company usually lets you know that you are going to talk to multiple people and be there for a while.

      Job Interview Tip Number 1 is Preparation


      • It really depends on the job. I've had interviews last 15 minutes, others have lasted 5 or 6 hours with multiple people and dinner etc. However, if its a student/first job it will likely be 15-30 minutes. Nothing to sweat about :)

      • About a half an hour to an hour. It depends. If you get hired while you're there, your employer might want you to fill out tax forms and other paperwork. Good luck!!

      • 15 minutes to 8 hours.
        It depends on your profession.
        /

      • I've seen anything from 30 mins to a couple of hours (including a tour of the place).

        Good luck!

      Job Interview Questions: What kind of job interview questions do they ask?

      On stores like Autozone, Pepboys, etc.. auto repair shops.

      Are they all the same for every job? Ive never had a job interview before and id want to know what
      kind of questions they ask for most of the jobs out there whether its fastfood, desk job or mechanical repair type jobs.

      Learn to Answer Job Interview Questions and Get Your Dream Job!



      Recommended Answer:
      Most of the questions will be about prior experience that is relevant to the job. If you are young and haven't worked in that industry before (auto repair, fast-food, etc.), you can give relevant experience from your personal life (helped you Dad fix the family car, help Mom make dinner, etc.).

      Any prior work experience is good, if it shows that you can get to work on time, follow instructions, and have a positive, get-it-done attitude.

      Also expect some general questions about your own life and work habits: are you good at organizing? Solving problems on your own? Getting things done on time?

      Also, they may want to know your plans for the future. Will you being going back to school? Starting a family? Taking a 6-month trip to Peru? They will want to know that their investment in your training will pay off.

And maybe bump up the vocabulary and try to talk about the business and what you know, to show that you have done some research :) GOOD LUCK HUN! <3

      Job Interview Questions: How to dress on the flight to a job interview?

      I have an out-of-town job interview. The perspective employer is booking a flight for the evening before the interview. An HR representative will meet me at the airport and drive me to the hotel. Interview attire is a topic that I have nailed down. However, I have not interviewed in another state from where I lived before this interview. As the HR representative will most certainly express an opinion to the hiring manager, do I dress as if I were going straight to the interview? Or business casual, so that I do not look too eager?

      Job Interview Tips - Negative Attributes That Will Stop You Getting a Job Offer



      Recommended Answer:
      Business casual. (You can Google pictures of it). Something like dress pants and a long-sleeved button-up, a nice sweater set or a blouse that's dressy but that's not quite interview attire (but, obviously, it should be tasteful).

      Something that won't wrinkle too badly during the plane ride. No linen!

      If possible, pack your interview attire in your carry-on if you are worried about your luggage being lost.

      The Best Job Interview Tips To Help You Get Hired Fast


      • Yes, dress for the interview.

        Years ago I flew to Chicago for an interview and the airline lost my luggage! OMG!!! I had to rush around trying to buy decent clothing, I had flown in comfy sweats.

        They had a limo pick me up and take me to my hotel, but that really added a lot of stress.

      • Business casual is appropriate.

        Good Luck, I hope you get the job.

      • think office or lawyer.. notice how they dress. bussiness like

        classy collar shirt / skirt or slacks

        Express is a good store
