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.

Job Interview Questions: In a job interview should I say I'm available immediately or in 2 weeks if I already have a job?

It's nice to give 2 weeks notice before you quit your current job but should it also be like that if you're applying for another job that needs more employees immediately or will it also look bad to them if you're already working and you say I can start immediately instead of after 2 weeks when they ask you when can you start in an interview?

Some of the Toughest Job Interview Questions and Their Model Answers



Recommended Answer:
I say tell them 2 weeks. Just to show them that you are being respectful to your other job by giving them the notice, and I think that also says that you are ready to work immediately.

Win That Second Job Interview, Like You Did With the First Job Interview


  • Definately say you are available in 2 weeks. Your new potential employer will see this as a sign that you are considerate and responsible. I would further ad by saying "I am available in 2 weeks because I want to give time to my old employer to find a repalcement and train them". Not only will this establish a good repore with your new employer but you also will not be burning any bridges with your old employer. You never know if things do not work out or you need your old employer for a future reference.

  • in such a case diplomatic answers are preferable.

Job Interview Questions: How would you respond to this question in a job interview?

Here is the scenario:

You just graduated and you're looking for a job in your field and you haven't found on yet. Then you get an interview for a job in your field and it's going great. Then he pops the big question: Why should I hire you? And let me rephrase this. Someone who comes in with no experience and why should I hire you over someone who has experience? What would you bring that's different??

How would you answer that question?

Tell them your lack of experience can be a good thing. You don't have any bad habits or baggage that those with years of experience might come in with. You are a blank page ready to be written on by someone with expertise, like the interviewer!

Top 10 Job Interview Disasters


  • Not even most recently, you should always research and get to know the company and the job you interview for, and NOT fill the interview with questions about the company, job, money, but should be able to talk about the company and offer your knowledge and what you can offer them, not what they have to offer.

    This is no longer a train as you go economy, but one who is willing to offer what they know in a field has as much chance as one who has experience, as having too much experience suggests thoughts of income, a station in a position they may have already achieved and expect in a new hire, and perhaps perks, or an apathy about the job within a new company, while merely looking for a job.

    Knowing isn't always growing, and companies as much want eager as much as "yeah I know that."

    If you must speak about ME, without work experience, talk about new technologies, methods, cost effective notions in being a Graduate in the field in having the education that has given you new perspectives, rather than someone who may not be as fresh as you are. This might especially apply to those out of work looking to find a job in what they have known for a long time, with pre-set, fixed ideas.

  • Because I've researched your company and I feel that I have a lot to offer. I feel that this is where I can grow and learn the most with what little experience I do have. If you give me this opportunity and I don't meet your expectations I will at least have learned from what I think is the best company in my field. Oh. And don't forget...At the end of the interview, when they ask if you have any questions for them. Simply say "When do I start"?

  • Do not bore the interviewer with "I am punctual' ,'I work hard' they have heard that from each applicant. You will be lopped in with the rest when you want to really stand out.

    Try something like. I have fresh ideas and an open mind to new schools of thought that would be valuable to a growing company. The other applicants may have been doing it longer but if their same old way approach might just be why they are looking for a new job.

    That would take some confidence interviewers love and at same time could cast some doubts about other candidates. It will take some balls nut you will stand out

  • wow, they usually always hire someone with experience over someone without, unless there is a basic training program then they might hire you. you just say you are eager to learn and there is no better place to start than here, go on about how you are ready and hard working, if the job needs good communication skills you talk about that too.

  • Say that you are willing to learn and earn that experience because you have to start sometime tell them that in time you are going to be the best they ever had ;)

  • The interviewer is comparing a rookie to an experienced employee. This makes the question a lot harder to answer.

  • "I am dependable and responsible. I will always be to work on time..." etc etc. Just talk to them, tell them why they should hire you!

  • You say.you are willing to work hard and learn,

Job Interviewing Tips - Success Through a Thank-You-Letter


  • Being fifteen, you want to give your interviewers the impression that, while young, you are still professional and a hard worker. Employers worry that younger people aren't as willing to work hard, as stupid as that is! That being said, you should dress conservatively and in something that fits well-- not too tight (especially if you're larger) or too baggy. I would personally advise dress pants, and do make sure they're hemmed above the floor. Avoid khakis if you can, since those give off a more casual tone. Close-toed heels are good, but if you're a more comfortable person, some nice flats do the trick as well! You probably know what kind of top to wear-- something clean, nice, flattering. Jewelery is a nice touch, and so is a little bit of makeup. Mainly you just want to look clean and freshly-pressed.

    More important than the clothes is the way you carry yourself, however, so remember that! Do fidget in your clothes and keep your posture straight. If you feel confident, you'll confident, and that's what they want. (; Good luck!

    I do also advise searching some websites for some tips on dressing, just so you feel confident about your choices!

  • actually it depends on the company

    if the company is a large company such as law firms, or even small companies but is business related go with a business attire which is comfortable, if you want to wear a skirt, the skirt shouldn't be very sexy

    if the company is like a mini restaurant or other small firms just go smart casual

  • Always, with any job interview, one should wear business attire.

    Guys, this means coat and tie. Ladies, a business suit.
    you should dress to impress. The person giving the interview forms half of their opinion of you before you even say a word. Dress to impress.

  • Something cute and professional

  • buisness casual, button up collared shirt and kahki's

  • hey,

    First things first - make sure you go in a smart suit as first impressions count no matter what sort of job it is... also.... make sure your shoes are clean ( you would be surprised how many people notice when they are dirty)

    research into the company from the website so you know all about the company and the role on offer

    shake the interviewers hand, take notes as this looks profressional

    'sell' yourself - make sure you know your skills and the personality you have for the job. if you are a junior, make sure that you tell the interviewer you are hard working, enthusiastic, dedicated and loyal etc...

    ask some good questions and make sure you have good answers for the interviewers questions

    thank the inteviewer for seeing you, make sure they know you are keen on the role and ask when you are likely to hear backMake sure also that you are at least ten mins early as it shows good organisational skills and bring a spare copy of your CV/Resumegood luck!!!
