Job Interview Questions: What are some job interview questions at a movie theater?
Im going to have an interview at sivercity riverport
what are some possible interview questions at a movie theater?
I am really nervous because i never had a real job before and i have no i dea what kind of questions to expect. i really wanna get a job at silvercity and i also know half of the people who work there lol. Most of them are my friends.
Recommended Answer:
They will most likely ask you a question like this:
"You see a co-worker taking a piece of candy without paying for it, and they eat it, would you report them to management?"
That's the one main question they'll ask. It may, or may not be worded the same way as I've worded it here, but they'll ask you something very similar.

Job Interview Questions: After a Job Interview should I send a Thank You Letter by mail or email or both?
Last Wednesday I had an on-site interview with four people, two I will be working directly with and two others I will be working with indirectly. I only received the contact information for the person I will be reporting directly to. I sent a Thank You letter by mail on Thursday of last week, with my best penmanship possible, but I am worried it may not have gotten there. Would it be appropriate to also send a follow-up email Thank You Letter?
I need a quick answer please.
Thank You,
Nathan Jones
Recommended Answer:
I think a short thank you by email followed with a thank you by mail. These days email is popular but sometimes using the old ways is best.

Job Interview Questions: Tips for my job interview on Wednesday?
I have an interview on Wednesday for an outdoors summer job, basically park maintenance for the town. I have, or at least I think I have, good experience from my last summer job, where I worked at an amusement park food restaurant (very busy very intensive work, did a lot of different tasks there) and a reference from that last job. But I can't shake the anxiety that I will do something to jeopardize myself in the interview.
Tips? Should I wear a dress shirt and tie for that sort of position? What are good questions to ask the interviewers?
Recommended Answer:
Always dress for success. Shirt and tie. Firm handshake, eye contact and smile. First impressions are important.
Since you have experience, be prepared to highlight your skills and abilities by giving numbers and examples: "I serviced ____ number of machines per day. With my mechanical expertise and training, I was able to troubleshoot maintenance issues quickly and effectively. I also helped train _____ other employees to do this job. I've operated the following machines__________________. I am a quick learner. I was trained on how to operate the ____________ ,learned it in _____ days, and operated it proficiently. Other areas I am skilled in include_________________. (Go on to provide examples and use numbers.
Ask the interviewer how many other people do this job, and what is a typical day like. DON"T ask about salary or time off. Ask when they expect to make a hiring decision.
Get the interviewer's business card or contact info and arrange a time that YOU will call them back. (If they say "We should have a decision by Friday," call on Thursday. Thank them and send a handwritten thank you note, reinforcing your interest in the position.
Good luck!

Job Interview Questions and Answers Are All That Stands Between You and Success
- Firm handshake and look the person in the eye, good smile, don't overdue it.
- This is a lot to cover but I'll give you a couple of tips and some resources to review;
First tip, there are about 10 questions that are used most often in an interview. Know the answers to these 10 questions and you will probably get at least 2-3. Knowing some of these answers will help calm you down.
Second tip, if you think you are starting to talk too much or babbling before you frame your answer there are 2 things you can do, repeat the question to give yourself some time to develop an answer. (actually you are restating so as to clarify) or alternatively, if you are asked if you would like some water, answer yes and take a sip just before you start talking to give yourself some time to formulate an answer.
As far as questions, I always like the question that asks about the first thing the interviewer would like accomplished when the person starts or what are the 2 things that the last person who did this job excelled at doing? You want them to relate you to what needs to be done or what was done well before.
There are tons more tips in the free career portal below but that should get you started. Good Luck.

How To Stand Out From The Crowd At Job Interviews
- Yes, tell them that. They won't ask any more details.
- You should be clear that you need the hours off, if they need details tell them its medical, they shouldn't need much more than that, it is called PRIVACY. If its not going to effect how well you work and being there, than it shouldn't need to come up in detail.

Job Interview Questions: What are some questions i should expect from a job interview?
I've got a job interview tomorrow with the store oasis. Just to get me prepared I need some taster questions, thanks.
Recommended Answer:
Clothing should be smart, but make sure you're comfortable! Dependent on the company you may need to dress in either formal or casual attire if in doubt stick to formal.
REMEMBER: you have 60 seconds after each question before the interviewer loses interest, so keep answers short and to the point! 5 seconds is all you have to make a good first impression it's not long so make sure it is the right one.
Firstly allow plenty of time to arrive and settle in about 10 Min's before the interview is a good time to arrive, make yourself know to someone who works there, and explain your purpose of visit for example '' good morning / afternoon my name is ********* and i have an interview at *********''. If you don't know who your interviewer is then skip to the time. or you could just say '' good morning / afternoon I have an interview at ****'' they will then alert your interviewer of your arrival.
Remember to greet your interviewer with a smile and shake their hand if they extend it first! En route to the interview room they may give you a pep talk and ask some questions such as '' did you find us ok? '' so even if you had to take 3 buses and got lost 4 times, just say you found everything ok. as if you start moaning it can leave an impression on the interviewer. It's sneaky but most companies are during the hiring process.If there are two interviewers then one will be asking questions and one will be observing your body language and your responses. this is another sneaky way of doing it but it helps them to see you from all angles. if there is just one then your fine but don't let your guard down ;)Ok now to the tricky part what you will be asked;
Each interviewer has their own technique but the general questions are mostly the same.
A typical interview will have the following structure;
Icebreakers-
These are to settle you in but don't let your guard down and say something you know you shouldn't, so be vigilant at all times. The types of questions may include hobbies etc. but try to relate them to the job you're applying for, for example '' I am in the school netball team and this allows me to understand teamwork and the benefit of it to achieve a single goal''Company
This section is a little trickier and you have to think about your answers but one major flaw most people make is not to fully understand the question being asked so if you're not sure feel free to ask the interview to repeat the question. this type of question may be '' why do you want to work for us?'' or ''what skills do you think you could bring to the team?'' etc. just be honest and try to keep your answers to the point (you don't need to use fancy words, just tell them the main point) but do not roll off the company's website like a robot, put it into your own words.
Experience and Competency Questions
This will test your skills against a list of competencies that are essential for the job, so Team Working, Customer Focus, Time Management etc. Are crucial competencies that you will have to demonstrate, in this situation I suggest you use the STAR technique. look it up online.You may be asked about a weakness and how you overcame it, be sure to focus mainly on the steps you took to overcome this weakness.Miscellaneous
This is just where you include qualifications or experience; they may ask what tasks you have done in your previous jobs. They will also ask if you have any pre booked holiday with your current employer and how much notice you are required to give to your current employer.Situation Questions
Ok now these questions are very sneaky most big companies' use them but some smaller ones may also. Now the trick to getting these questions right is to fully understand them as i mentioned before. For example:'' it's a busy day and the manager gives you a task to complete, after 30 minutes your assistant manager asks you to do another task, but you have not finished the task set by the manager. What would you do?'' this is not the question you will be asked but it's to give you an idea of situation questions. The best way to answer is to put yourself in the situation and think how you would react.
Just remember this is assessing how you react in situations so just think on your feet.
Ok if you get through all of this they will then start talking about the job and tasks in entails. they will also chat about uniform and pay and also when you will be told when you will receive your results from the interview some may tell you on the day or ring you or send you a letter this process can take anything from a few hours for a phone call to 14 days dependent on the number of applicants.
Then when the interview is over be sure to shake the hand of your interviewer, tell them how lovely it was to meet them and thank them for taking the time to see you. (Its cheesy but it can make a big difference ;) )I hope this information is a help to you
