Job Interview Questions: Phone Job Interview, when is appropriate to call back?

I was referred for a job. Received an email stating they were hiring and he wanted to know what my career goals were. I called him the day after, he was busy at the time and stated he would call back that day - he didn't. How long should I go before calling him back again?

Recommended Answer:
Regarding professionalism of contacting someone for a career/position/job, I believe waiting a full business day (8-24 hours) is best practice.

However, in this particular situation, I would contact the individual as soon as possible, as this will show him that you are interested and eager to fulfill the position. As well, he may have forgotten, so calling him may be a better idea (instead of waiting for him to call you).

What to Do on a Job Interview to Land a Job


  • i would call him back today.. or like now because what are you suppose to do? he said he would call you back and didn't.. it would look better on your part to call back sooner than later to show your interest in the job

  • The following day. You have nothing to lose by calling him back once or twice.

Job Interview Questions: I need to pull together an outfit for a job interview/presentation...?

Tomorrow, I need to present for something my high school calls Senior Project. It is a formal presentation, and the attire needs to be that of what you might wear to a job interview (i.e. no jeans, no t-shirts, appropriate, something nice).

I need examples of both tops and bottoms (or even dresses) that I could wear. Links would be great. Thank you.

Dream Job Interviews - How to Crack the Tough Questions


  • It really depends what job you're going for: a job at Walmart is different from one at a Doctor's office is different from a hairdressers. Be simple. Stick with a suit if you've got one. If you've ever been to a wedding or a funeral -- that sort of thing. Neutral colours. Collars. Silky materials. No bare legs.

Job Interview Questions - How to Answer Popular Job Interview Questions


  • To get hired at Six Flags, they will want to see that you will be good with people, so you need to demonstrate that you have good customer service skills. I would try to prepare examples of past experiences where you served the public. If you have no experience, then come up with the way you interact with friends, family, neighbors. The person at the top mentions all the right questions that typically will be asked of you. Remember though, the person interviewing you will ask 10 or 20 people the same questions. Don't answer like everyone else.

    Always try to use examples. For example; "What are your strengths?" Instead of saying; "I'm a hard worker, I'm good with people and I'm ontime." You would say something like; "I'm a dedicated worker with great customer service skills, for example, in my last job I had to handle many different requests from customers. I was able to multitask and service all the customers with great feedback. I also never missed a day of work and was recognized as one his top employees.

    This is just an example, but you always want to have a few "stories" that you can pull out of your pocket when asked about these simple questions. Set yourself apart from the rest, leave an impression on them.

  • www.best-interview-strategies.com…

    This site has a lot of common interview questions and gives examples on how to answer them or how to approach the answer.

    I skimmed through it and it seemed there were many that i've heard in past interviews ...

    Think about your strengths & especially weaknesses ... I can say I have probably had this question in some form in every job interview i've been to

    good luck getting the job

    PS
    Please "dress to impress" even if it's a casual job!
    It doesn't mean you have to wear a business suite or anything .. but NO jeans.
    Put on dress pants and a cute top, or khakis would be a good choice for that type of job.
    Sorry - didn't see if you were male/female ... but if female no cleavage hanging out .. either way don't wear much perfume/cologne, hair done nice, all that good stuff ..

    and please silence your cell phone - no vibrate ..or even better, leave it in the car!

  • why do you want to work here? what are your strengths? what are your weaknesses? why should we hire you? do you have any questions? (you should prepare some questions, they like to see that you are interested). Also, research the company a lot before you go so you can name specific things you like about it. you can find more interview questions by googling

Job Interview Secret - A Positive Closing in the Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Why interview for a job your parent doesn't want you to have, and thus likely wouldn't allow you to work even if they agreed to hire you?

Don't waste your time or the interviewers time, unless you would be allowed to work the job if it was offered to you. In other words, get your mom to okay you working if they want to hire you.

As for ditching school, as long as you aren't missing any important classes then I see no issue in that regard.

Tell Me About Yourself - Job Interview Answers


  • i think that it is worth going to the interview because that means if you do get the job you will have some cash flow hahaha.
    even if your mom doesnt want you to have the job, its your decison, but i dont think that you will get into that much trouble, just write a note or something and get exscused.

  • When I was at school/college they allowed you to have the morning or afternoon off if you told them you had an interview to attend. Just inform the school of where you are going and it should all be fine since they can't exactly stop you. Good luck with the interview~

How To Shine At Your Next Job Interview


  • Yes, try to plan for some shut eye before you go. Be sure your personal hygiene
    has been maintained (shower, teeth, deodorant, hair care.) Dress in business appropriate attire such as khaki pants, no jeans. I would choose a button-down freshly pressed shirt, tucked in. Clean tennis shoes are o.k., but better would be a loafer-type shoe. Be joyful, pleasant and sincerely interested in the job you want.

Job Interview Questions: What to wear for job interview?

I have a job interview tomorrow at jcpenney as a sales associate. I'm a 16 yr old girl and I was wondering what to wear. I have this blue dress that is slightly above the knee and a little blue bolero. Would it be terrible to wear a dress slightly above the knee? Because otherwise I will have to wear jeans cause I don't have anything else. And if you have any tips involving the interview please help because it's my first one! I don't want to mess it up.

Job Interview Mistakes To Avoid



Recommended Answer:
Make sure you show up at least 15 minutes before your interview. Make good eye contact and only tell them what they ask for( don't talk too much). Be prepared to answer a question like "Why would you be good for this company?" or something like that. Be honest and don't ask how much you will be getting paid until after you get the job. When you sit down do not cross your legs or arms employers take that as if you are not being open with them body language is a big part of it. If you are prepared you will do fine and you will not be nervous if you are confident in your abilities. When they ask if you have any question for them a good one to ask is" what dose the training inlet" or "How would you describe the responsibilities of the position?"any other question you maybe wondering, again do not ask about pay until after.
The dress will be fine if it doesn't show your shoulders or too low on your chest remember you will be sitting down so test it out and make sure it doesn't go up to high when you sit down.

Job Interview Tips - Best Interview Questions


  • You have some very good advice here. I assume you have already filled out an application. If you haven't given any references, be prepared to give them. The dress is probably better. I can only add to the look them in the eye when you speak that you need to sit and stand straight, don't slouch. Be sure your shoes are cleaned or polished and your nails clean and filed. Not too heavy on any makeup and cover any tatoos and pull out anything that isn't appropriate. I disagree on asking questions about salary, hours or whatever. They are all part of the job description and I would want to know just exactly what the job entails and what is expected of you. And be sure to know about the store and what you will be selling. Don't forget to smile and be polite, friendly yet professional. good luck.. .

  • I think your dress will be fine. Be polite, use good voculabary, maintain eye contact, don't talk too much. They won't expect much from 16 year old but you should be able to *smile* and speak intelligently. Don't worry, relax. Have a few questions to ask them at the end but not about discounts, hours or salary.

  • where the dress. make sure to wear pantyhoes or at least stocking and most importantly, act like you've done this before and that you are familiar with their store.

Recommended Answer:
You should bring it up if the interview is going well. Maybe when they ask you if there's anything you'd like to add or something like that.
This might affect your chances of getting the job. They might need someone right now and since you can't start until late august, they might give your job to someone who can start right now.
Just be honest with the interviewer and see what happens.
