Job Interviews - Six Tips to Prepare You



Recommended Answer:
be yourself and sale yourself at what your good at (don't lie).

Job Interview Advice Everyone Can Use


  • firm handshake
    dress conservatively and well
    look the interviewer in the eye
    know a little something about the place you would be working at
    When the interviewer starts talking agree with what the interviewer has to say. If they talk about someone who didn't make it before you because they were late for work often agree with them and say something like, "That is completely unexcusable because that sort of behavior makes work difficult for everyone on the team who was counting on that person to at least make the minimal effort of showing up on time. I can't believe that someone would actually do that."
    Be very polite and smile
    Listen as well as talk
    Think about the kind of person who they would want for that job and speak in a way that would have you come across as such.
    Don't cross your arms or have such other body language that would be off putting like playing with hair or a button
    Speak the part, a mechanic's interview is different from a medical services customer service rep.
    Develop a believable English accent

  • first, know a little bit about the company. go online and find out what they do. a candidate who knows nothing about the company likely isn't going to get hired. preparation and having good questions to ask is key. it shows you've done your homework.

    second, most companies are looking for long-term employees, not job hoppers. when they ask you about your future plans or what you see yourself doing some number of years down the road, they want to hear you want to stay and grow with that company. say it and mean it.

    third, be sure to make good eye contact and speak clearly. answer questions with detail. no one word answers, but don't go on and on either. when appropriate, ask them questions before they ask you if you have any questions. in other words, be sure and confident in yourself. even if you are really nervous and feel like you're going to pee your pants, appear confident and like you mean business. and on that note, make sure you go to the bathroom before you arrive at the place of your interview. again, all in being prepared

Job Interview Questions: What should I wear for a job interview at staples?

I'm at college so I have limited resources. I got a beige and black long sleeve dress shirt with matching ties. Black dress pants and shoes. I am not sure if this is overdressing though? I know the rule of thumb is to dress one level better so I am not to sure about this. Please some advice. Thanks.

The Job Interview Technique That Will Blow Away the Competition



Recommended Answer:
Sounds like you dress just fine. Polo shirt would work to. Khakis work to with dress shoes. And nice belt works too. But what you mention sounds just fine. But if you have cologne don't over do it. Some colognes just stink or to overbearing. Good luck.

    Job Interviews Questions - To Ask Or Not to Ask



    Recommended Answer:
    First, make a lot of eye contact, smile, speak loudly and confidently and do a little research on sears. Also be prepared to answer why you should get the job (opposed to someone else) and why you want the job. Don't fidget, be polite and shake his/her hand. Most importantly, feel confident, and be yourself! Try to look clean and professional, but don't over due it. Make sure your breath smells good and try to be really friendly. Hope this helps, and good luck!

    How to Handle Skilled Job Interviewers & Behavioral Interview Questions


    • Dress on the conservative side. No open toe shoes. They will ask about any work experience you have had, even babysitting, to see if you are a responsible person. They will ask if you can work nights and weekends, say yes, of course. They will ask if you like working with lots of different types of people, have a high energy level, and things like that.

      Be pleasant, look the interviewer in the eye, don't look down or away. Smile. At the end of the interview tell them you are very interested in the job and hope to be hearing from them soon.

    • I heard that Sears is very hard to get hired. You are so young. Why don't you just worrying about school right now and college? I made that mistake working at a young age and missed out on so much. Now at 48 I am in college and wish I went after high school. If you do decide to continue with this interview just be yourself.

    • wear some d&g or armani dont bring your pet howler monkey as i have learned. smoke a cigar during the meeting sit back put your feet on the desk. talk italian. act italian. they'll think your mob

    • dont be so self confident,and be modest,thats all,tell them that you gonna work hard and you have social skills

    • i know what you mean... with jobs you really have to be persistent. sometimes people get lucky and get hired on the spot, depending on how desperate the job is. if you got an interview at target then you should call them up again and ask if they want to hire you or not. the manager will either say yes or no, and if he says no just move on to another job :) good luck!

    • Sometimes if their desperate for people they will hire on the spot lik before holidays or busy shopping days... but if u had two interviews sounds good... espescially in these times.. keep ur head up..

    • A 2nd interview is good..it means they're interested. Don't worry,give them a couple of days and they will call you. Good luck with that ok?

      Job Interview Questions: Would you wear scrubs to a medical assisting job interview?

      I am a medical assistant and I am not currently employed I have a job interview tomorrow and would like to know others opinions on wearing scrubs to the job interview. My thought frame is mentally, I would like them to see me in a clinical capacity in the office.

      Job Interview Preparation: The Key To Getting The Job Offer!



      Recommended Answer:
      I am a Clinical Medical Assistant, and to my initial interview (I had two for the same clinic) I wore scrubs because I had come straight out of a highschool course class. I was told to wear scrubs. (Matching..Clean, white, appropiate shoes.. and my name tag). This interview was for my internship.

      My second interview I wore nice slacks, a button up blouse, and some formal flats. I was hired on the spot. This interview was obviously for the job.

      I would treat it like any other job interview. Dress formally.

      Hope I helped.

      Job Interview Preparation Tips From an Experienced Manager of Sales Job Interviews


      • No, scrubs are never appropriate for an interview unless its for a internship or you have just come from a shift. The rule of thumb in an interview is to always dress nicer than the interviewing person. For all interviews, a professional attire of flats, closed toes, dress pants or skirt, neat shirt, hair back etc is always appropriate. No dangling jewelry, large earrings, loud nail polish or long nails, etc etc.

      • Never. They'll either think you're frivolous or that you have absolutely no sense of what's appropriate in the business world.

        For an interview, wear a shirt with a collar, pants with a crease, real shoes, and socks or hose. Period.
