Job Interview Questions: Would this question be inappropriate at a job interview?

I am interviewing for a support level position with a small investment management company. On their website, they have bios of all the higher-up people, but they do not have anything on their support staff. Some of their competitors include all the principals and their support staff. This shows me that their support staff means a lot to the company as well. I would like to ask this company why they decided not to include their support staff on their website. Should this question be avoided?

Critical Mistakes To Avoid at Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
I would not ask it. If you're subsequently hired and demonstrate your value as an employee, that would then be the time to "suggest" it.

Techniques To Avoid Job Interview Stress

• If this is very important to you, then yes ask it but in a nice way. Something along the lines of " I noticed you don't have all your staff on your website, is it still under construction"
  
  If it isn't that big of a deal "I don't think it is" And you really need a job, then forget about it. Ask it when you are hired.


• No.
  
  It's not your place to ask. There might be a reason why they've not included it on their website.
  
  If it's something eating at you, the best way to ask is: "How does your company view the role of their support staff?"
  
  If you nag about what's on their website or not, they might just write you off as a troublemaker.
  
  Good luck.


• perhaps they don't want their employees raided by competitors........
  
  if you want the job and all the other signals are right.....wait until you are on board.......
  
  this question could knock you out of the running for the position as they may perceive you as a militant trouble maker, not a team player.........
  
  actually I like the question and won't be threatened by it....however keep in mind the person hiring you is judged by the type of people they hire.


• If you really want the job then yes it is inappropriate. If they think little enough of their support staff to include them, they'll not want to employ someone onto that staff who is clearly outspoken. It's very sad and wrong but that's the way it is at some places sadly.


• I would suggest not asking that kinda question unless you are sure you have the job. If you have to ask the question I suggest posing it as un-hostile as possible. Like:
  
  "Hey I noticed you website and was wondering if there was any reason you don't have your support staff on there?"


• It is a fair enough question, but dependent on the characteristics on the interviewer would be dependent on what the response would be, positive or negative. For that reason, I wouldn't ask it until after you have got the job!

Job Interview Questions: When at a job interview in North Carolina, what all can an employer ask about a background check?

I am trying to find a job in North Carolina, I do have a criminal record (two misdemeanors), and I just wanted to know how much detail/information can an employer ask about it?

Recommended Answer:
They can ask about the crimes reported and the details of the crime, court and punishments.

Job Interview Skills: Upgrade Your Performance!

• Employers can generally ask about convictions or pending cases, but not expunged/sealed records. I'm not sure the exact law within North Carolina, but it is within their right to ask about felonies or misdemeanors.
  
  If they approach you and ask about the details of your misdemeanors, it means they're willing to engage in discussion and that you aren't necessarily disqualified from the job.


• Very risky to lie on an application. Companies routinely do background checks, especially bigger companies, so they will find it. The lying is always considered a serious offense, even more than the misdemeanors, so fess up if you want to get hired.


• Don't worry about how much detail they want to ask as long as you won't be lying. Lying would be a serious offense you are going to face.


• They will do a background check which will show all of your convictions.

Job Interview Questions: How to prepare for job interview?!?

I have a job interview Saturday at Popeyes, and I don't know what to expect! Its my first interview/job ever, because I'm only 16, and I wanna be prepared so I get the job :) What should I wear? And what questions will they ask and how do I answer them? Help!

Job Interview Rehearsal - The Benefits of Mock Interviews

Recommended Answer:
What to wear, Something clean, fashionable and conservative. Dress like you are taking your grandma to dinner on Sunday. First impressions are important and the clothes you wear and the style of your hair are extremely important. Be conservative.

The questions will range from your previous job experience to what you're studying in school and where you see yourself in 5 years to what you like to do on you free time. They'll want to know who you are and what you would do under certain circumstances so they'll give you a question like this. If someone ordered a dinner and got upset that it took so long how would you handle their complaint. There is no wrong answers.

There is only one way to answer these questions. HONESTLY. Relax, be yourself and be 100% honest.

Prepare For Your Job Interview

• You should look professional. No jeans, flip flops, or baggy clothing. This makes you look sloppy. Now you don't have to go out and buy an entire suit. But a nice pair of black slacks and nice top (no tank tops) which are modest are interview attire.
  
  Questions they will ask could vary. Many managers ask what you would do in certain situations that determine your customer service, integrity, and overall attitude.
  
  When answering their questions, do not say "Um", "Uh", or "Like" numerous times. This makes you look very unprofessional. Be yourself and do not try to be the "perfect employee".

Job Interview Questions: Revealing sexual orientation during job interview?

I am a lesbian interviewing for a job with a not for profit organization, this is a direct snippet from their affirmative action plan ".... our affirmative action plan currently concentrates on recruitment of people from four groups for its staff and committees: third world people; women; gay, lesbian, and bisexual people; and people with disabilities"... I want to be open at my new job would it be ok to reveal my sexuality during the interview?

Preparing For a Job Interview - Minimize Job Interview Stress

Recommended Answer:
why would u have to during an interveiw?? it shouldn't come up... it'd be better to mention it after u get the job but i dont see why it's necessary

Job Interview Mistakes to Avoid

• When does sexual orientation come up during an interview? Any interviewer asking such questions should be fired-- has nothing to do with the job unless it is a brothel. As for an affirmative action plan stating that, really bizarre. I suppose if you want to reveal your sexuality during an interview, that is up to you. But keep in mind, while this bizarre affirmative action plan may be the "policy" doesn't mean all the supervisors doing interviews agree with it. So you might just blow your chances of being hired if the person doing the interview doesn't have the corporate philosophy to heart. And if you don't get hired, little you can do to prove it was because of your expressed sexuality.
  
  But overall, why do people think other people care or want to know personal information of such detail? Most don't.


• How exactly will you bring that up in the interview?
  
  What reaction do you want from those interviewing you?
  
  Personally, it would annoy me if you brought it up. It really doesn't matter whether your gay or straight. Straight people don't go into an interview and declare their sexuality. You shouldn't either.
  
  Though....
  
  At the moment, because companies need to fill a "diversity" policy, if your gay or an ethnic minority and qualified for the job, your very likely to get it......


• It should never come up anyway, I wouldn't reveal your sexuality. Most people don't want to know about sexual orientation during a job interview. Save that stuff for your personal time.


• Only if they hire you to be a lesbian.To perform lesbian sex in front of every body,everyday.


• If it says it concentrates on the recruitment of LGBT people, then you have a better chance of being hired.


• yes, if they don't accept it then it's not worth it!

Job Interview Questions: What kind of questions will they ask at a job interview for a movie theater?

I have an interview tomorrow at a movie theater and am scared sh!tless! I'm 16 and it's my first job. What kind of questions will they ask me? And how do I answer? I can only guess they'll ask me to describe myself in three words, my hobbies, etc, but what others?? Also I am wearing black pants with a nice but casual shirt. Is that okay?

Our Six-Step Guide to a Successful Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
I work at a movie theater. Lets see..some questions i was asked were..how many classes am i taking in college. when am i available, and can i work holidays. (say yes, even though it sucks..i have to work every holiday :( ) Another question i was asked is what would make me a good employee. But really, im sure they will hire you no matter what, because this time a year, we need new people :)

How to Prepare for a Job Interview

• I could sense this is a part-time job. Usually, they'd ask you about your availability, your passion and some other general questions. Do worry, be polite and be there on time. They don't expect a lot from you. Telling them you are prepared to perform some general light duties such as picking up materials on the floor where you see it would endanger other people, be able to communicate with other people at all level etc. Good luck to you.


• Your interview outfit sounds fine. 3 words, hmm...ready to work!
  
  Mainly I think they are going to try to make an assessment as to whether or not you would be a reliable employee. That means somebody who sincerely wants the job, and will be dependable.
  By dependable that means you have to have good attendance. a job is a big responsibility. your employers count on you being there because if you don't show up things get harder for everybody else.
  
  Also they will be looking at your ability to deal with the public. So smile a lot and be friendly and open and try not to be toooo nervous (interviewers actually already know you are probably nervous and take that into account).


• They most likely just want to know that you are honest and have a good work ethic. As long as you show that you are responsible, you should be fine. If they ask you a question and you don't have the perfect answer, don't worry about it. Just try to relax and say what feels natural. Good Luck!

Job Interview Skills - How to Deal With Unusual, Irrelevant Or Stupid Questions at Interviews

Recommended Answer:
Lie about everything.

In all seriousness, project confidence. Practice answering some interview questions like the infamous "Tell us about yourself" question. Don't lie. Talk about your strengths and when asked about your weaknesses turn them into strengths. Don't talk about pointless things like where you were born and your dog's name. Show your interviewer your best and try to make your relationship more than just something between an interviewer and an interviewee.

Try to establish some kind of friendship with them because if you do get hired then they'll be your associate. When the interview is over send them a little email the next day thanking them for the interview. It'll get them thinking about you more and it's really thoughtful.

How to Blow a Job Interview in Less Than Five Minutes

• They'll probably ask you things like "what are your strengths/weakness" "why do you want to work here" "how would you handle a situation with an upset customer", so just be ready for those types of questions and have a general idea of what your answer would be. The best thing to do is take your time answering each question and while they are asking it start formulating what you are going to say in your head. This way you won't get froze up or say something stupid. Think about what you would want someone to say if you were interviewing them for a job at your company.


• Autozone should be easy.
  they just want someone responsible, courteous, friendly, and will work. no loafers.
  show an interest in cars, too.
  walk through the store so you know what things are, too. Do you know where the serpantene belts are?

I have a job interview tomorrow. It's quite casual, we'll be meeting for coffee instead of the company's office.

I will dress casual but decent. I don't know what I should be taking with me? I will print out my resume just in case, but they already have it (I sent it to them via email).

What else might I need to take with me to the interview?

I Have a Job Interview - What Should I Do?

Recommended Answer:
I agree with the answer given to you, they are trying to see how you are with social environment and want to know how professional you can be in a relaxed atmosphere. If this is a sales job or a job that requires a relaxed environment as part of the job. This is truly a test to see how you can balance them without getting to be best buds with the clients. Especially when you first meet them of course you will want to be social enough to build relationships with any one and you can do that with the Interviewer you can with the clients.

Now to answer the part about the documents you should take here it is.
1. CV (Resume)
2. CL (Cover Letter)
3. LR (Letter of Recommendation)
4. WR (Work References)
5. PR (Personal References)

This shows you are well prepared and ready for them to hire you. Try to research the company online write some notes down and then casually bring that in the conversation try not to be obvious to many times. A few is great to do then it shows you are trying to impress them and when you are subtle about it shows tactfulness and finesse. If they on our website we offer.. then take that as a lead into what you found.

Now that you gotten this information hopefully it gave you some fresh ideas and that it was very helpful. Hopefully the next time you are on here that you will let us know that you got the job.

How to Succeed in a Job Interview

Take you resume and other documents as well because if you are going out the possibility is that they might not have your resume because its on email. be Confident and you will get every success of life.

Job Interview Preparation - Three Key Steps

• This is a little off topic but in today's employment environment there are 3 critical steps that must be taken 100% of the time to successful land any job. Unfortunately, more often than not these simple steps are not taken.
  
  1) It doesn't matter weather the position is for a janitor or an engineer you must take the time to figure out what is important to the employer.
  
  2) You must be prepared for the unexpected when it comes to questions and general conversation.
  
  3) You will be amazed because once you have done your homework your stress levels will drop and your confidence will rise. This will put you in the front runners position no matter what the experience level of the other applicants.
  
  You should always dress according to the employers style. If it's a casual position/employer then dress casual, if it's a strictly professional position/employer then your attire should be professional. More importantly you should always no matter casual or professional error on the conservative side....never over do it or wear extremely bright colors.
  
  Employers hire those that respond to questions effectively and appear confident over experience the majority of the time.
  
  This can almost guarantee your success with any job....


• This should be okay. Still, some companies (especially the bigger ones) do require a lot of documents. You can always get your birth certificate from the statistics office. You can even do this online if you want.
