Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview as a receptionist today!! Gah what do I wear?

I have an interview today for a receptionist position. What should I wear? I mean-dont say dressy casual. Should I wear jeans and a nice top? A skirt? A dress?

The Job Interview Process - What to Expect

Recommended Answer:
Do Not wear jeans.
It would all depend what kind of receptionist job it was.. but you want to dress up and look your best.
A skirt and a nice top. Or dress. Good shoes. Prim and neat.

Since you will be the first person that clients or customers see at this company-they want to see that person NOW.
You will be the first impression that people have of their business.
Before you leave, look in the mirror and say
" what would I think of a company and I walked in the door and the receptionist looked like this ?" If youre happy with it..then wear it.

With jobs, even if youre applying to be the cleaning lady, always dress up, if you want the job.
You want it to appear youre putting your best effort into this.

• You can wear jeans if they're dark wash and fitted, then they should be classy looking. A nice blouse that doesn't have any excessive cleavage and make sure it's slightly more loose than the width of your hips (but is fit)
  And a causal cardigan over top. and wear either ballet flats or heels.
  Or you can wear a pencil skirt, high waisted belt, nice blouse that kinda puffs at chest and a a simple cardigan over top. Gladiator heels would go nicely with this outfit.

Job Interview Success

Dress very nicely for your interview.I hire people.I did not even consider one applicant because she was wearing jeans, and was late for the interview.How you present yourself is noticed.Wear your nicest clothes.Make sure they are clean.Shower, brush your teeth and hair.If you wear cologne, go light on it.Women and young girls should not be wearing cocktail dresses.Nobody wants to see a lot of cleavage.Not too short of a skirt or dress.Guys, don't wear your baggy pants that you wear hanging down to see you underwear.Save that for school or home. If you don't have any good clothes, do the best with what you have.I don't know what Holister is.If its the business, yes you may wear the jacket. Make sure clothes are tucked in, and you look neat.Make sure your Jorden shoes are clean.If a hand is extended to you, give a firm handshake.Good luck.

A Job Interview and the Ultimate Language Tool to Guarantee the Job Offer

• well as you know, the interview is also based on looks/style, so you need to just wear casual. it's not professional at all! wear some hollister shirt... plaid, polo, tank with cardigan.. just NOT a logo shirt with "hollister" plastered across the chest. wear jeans (hollister, if you have jeans from there) and don't wear jordans! for shoes, they only allow flip flops, converse, and vans.


• normally i would say dress proffessional but for this job you need to look the part. I wouldnt wear jordans, wear flip flops, and at hollister they ask that you wear red toe nail polish so thats what i would do. If its super freezing, wear cute boots, ask someone if you can borrow something if you dont have anything that works

• I don't think that should be question in an interview.It is our right to smoke or not.Will that hurt our chance of getting the job? Would they hire us on our skills or will they turn us away due to our smoking. So I say no,its not appropriate at all.They can say if you are a smoker there are designated areas to smoke.


• No, because it isn't really the employers business and what does it matter? Not everyone who smokes are inconsiderate about where and when they do it.


• yeah.If i was the employer i wouldnt to hire somebody who pollutes the air and plus i hate smokers anyway.


• I think so.
  It may be a health concern.
  Like they don't want the food to smell.
  And maybe because smoking is irresponsible then they think you are, too.


• *
  Whether or not someone smokes is a good measure of their intelligence and ability to make good decisions.
  *


• NO
  Its personal. have a no smoking sign board in all offices
  and set aside a smoking zone for smokers

10 Easy Ways to Be Much More Confident in Job Interviews

Recommended Answer:
Make sure you have an early night - no doubt your nerves will stop you from sleeping so well so the earlier you go to bed the better.
Before you go to bed but not in bed you should go over some typical interview scenarios in your head. Imagine yourself answering confidently.
In the morning have a good breakfast and make sure you allow plenty of time to get ready. You don't want to be rushing around making sure you are ready and get all flustered. Also plan your journey to the interview well - make sure you know how to get there!
At the interview try to relax. They will understand that you are going to be nervous. If you're feeling particularly flustered try sigh-breathing - take a deep breath and let it all out in a sigh, relaxing your body as you do. Answer questions slowly and don't be afraid to take the time to think about an answer before giving it. If all else fails and you're particularly anxious, just remember that it's only a job interview and not life or death. Imagine how relieved you will feel once the interview is over. You are only talking to people after all, people like you.
Good luck!!

Job Interviews - How to Ace a Telephone Job Interview

• Try to mentally prepare yourself for the questions you know they will ask. Try to make yourself believe you are the best person for the job and you will be more confident and able to relax.


• practice answering questions at home so that it wouldn't feel so weird tomorrow when they ask you about stuff.


• You can practice contracting your muscles on and off to help soothe the anxiety. It is a proven exercise to help lower your heart rate as well. If you cant do this before you go in and you are really in need of some help then go to your doctor and have him prescribe you some medication.
  Another best thing to do is have your friend ask you a lot of questions you know and don't know that the interview may ask you. You should be ready for the interview, if you feel like you are not, then you need to sharpen up fast.


• u must have good knowledge about ur subject,
  and u must have some communication skils, and if u have not know about that interviewer question, i must said that u dont know about that question and u did not face in real time work.
  
  and u must have in active mood means energytic and dont be bend down while facing the interview


• Sweetie, remember one thing. You're not the only one going through this right now. There are people that have worked for companies for over 20 years that have lost their job and will have to go through this process. And, I would believe most interviewers realize that this is not an easy thing, because, remember, THEY had to go through this too. You must be very young to be saying this is a FIRST interview. The kid's story of the "Little Train," was, yes I can, yes I can. And Baby, you will be just fine. You're human.....and, so is the person doing the interview. Head up and act confident. Go out there and ace that job interview. One question they may ask you is, "What will you contribute to this company that would make me consider you as the best person for this job." Have a good answer for that and say it with confidence. Good luck Sweetie!


• get a friend parent someone to practice and do this over and over again. asking interview questions over and over again. do this like a hour or two until u get it right.don't babel on with your answers. stay direct and to the point look at them don't day dream Never stair at the floor look at the person interviewing you, ya and for god goodness sit up straight. don't be afraid to laugh but don't make jokes you might think a joke is funny they might not.this is a small list and good luck remember to brush your teeth. if this is a interview for say burger king well just change your underware smile and say yes sir no sir or mam and you wil be flipping those burgers in no time flat. i take mine no tomatoes


• depends on the job...Google types of questions they would ask in an interview. That way u have answers for possible questions & feel mor confident.


• For me, nothing beats rehearsing answers to typical job interview questions, such as:
  
  * Tell me about yourself.
  * Tell me about a time you failed.
  * Tell me about a mistake you made that you recovered from.
  * Do you work better by yourself? Or as part of a team?
  
  Good luck!

Job Interview Questions: For a job interview, what if your responses are school related?

If I go to a job interview, and for most of the questions they ask me, I use examples from the classes I took at school, is that bad? Should I instead focus my answers on things I did in my internships? The problem is that for many interview questions, my internship experience doesn't apply to it, but my experience in school lab classes or lecture classes does.

Thanks.

The Comic Tragedy of Job Interviews

Recommended Answer:
You should mix it up among all your experiences. If this is your first job, there will be a natural bias towards answers about your school experiences. But you should have an arsenal of answers ready about what you saw when you were intern, what would you change at the place you interned in etc?

Interviewers are looking for some with ideas and many interview questions and answers are geared towards finding the next leader who will implement change.

Have a look at www.theinterviewmaster.com

They have a whole chapter dedicated to school questions.

Best of luck with it - it will all be fine - just make sure that you are well prepared for the interview!

• It's okay for some responses, but you should try and pull from your professional experiences as well. Think through the questions you're likely to be asked and practice so you can get a better mix.

Job Interview Questions: What can I do to get a job interview?

I apply to several jobs a week but only seem to get jobs that don't do employee background checks (factory, work study). I have had 2 legitimate job interviews in the last year. I have had several jobs, am ineligible to work for 2 previous employers and lived in several places. I was wondering if this is a red flag to employers. My resume is polished and I call employers to check my application status but I never get called back. What can I do to improve my chances of getting an interview?

From the Eyes of a Job Interviewer

• Work tenure can be a problem. Usually if I see that someone hasn't worked in the last six months, I won't hire them unless they have a really good reason. Also, if I see they did a lot of different jobs then I may not use them...it just depends what your resume looked like. If on average you are doing about 24 months per job...then you are doing well. But if you worked here for a month and there for 6 months and there for 2 weeks...that is not good.
  
  So if the work tenure is not good, it'll be more difficult to find work. If you have gaps, it'll be harder. All you can do is keep trying.


• It's critical to have a excellent resume, it is worth taking the time to compose something that looks really awesome and does the job well. The website in the box below has plenty of data on resumes and help with other professions.


• Here are common mistakes that are common on resumes. Try to check if yours has any of them.
  
  Overused resume template
  One of the top resume mistakes ever. People using generic word processing templates in creating their resumes and even using the generic greetings and salutations. It is not necessarily frowned upon to use these templates, but it really doesn't help your resume to stand out from the rest. If you must use these templates, then at least edit it. Include some content and formatting to make it unique and your own.
  
  Prioritizing and arrangement
  Some resumes bury important accomplishment and skills in favor of mainstream formatting. Applicants sometimes place their skills and accomplishments at the bottom of the page. If you are applying for a certain job that requires certain skills, then it is important that you let them know you have the qualifications.
  
  Putting in Personal Information
  The placing of personal information is a big mistake on resumes. Including your eye color, height, favorite food or hobbies is irrelevant and unnecessary. It will be trash and gibberish to hiring managers. Write down what matters like your achievements and not your favorite movie or that you're the president of your town's ping-pong club.
  
  Length of resume
  There are those people who choose to right down every details of their previous employment thinking that quantity of experience and skill would eventually win them the position. Let me tell you that hiring managers who receive a nine page resume generally only go over the first page only. On average, they only spend around 20 seconds in scanning resumes of potential applicants in their selection process. So it is imperative that you make your resume short and concise and prioritize important information first and place them on top.
  
  Previous experience and employers
  It is required that you put your previous position and employer on your resume, it would be a resume writing mistake if you don't, but hiring managers would prefer it if you could also include some important information about your previous company like their phone number, website, or just what they are about. This would save them time in researches what your previous company is. Another important thing is to write down your position first then the company name, instead of beginning with the date of employment, this will make your resume more effective in catching the hiring manager's attention.
  
  Keywords
  It is a big resume mistake if you do not include keywords and a few jargon on your resume. The keywords are important because a lot of companies, especially large corporations, incorporate the use of hiring software to sift through resume databases for specific keywords they are looking for. By placing important keywords for your specific industry is best to convince the companies programs to select your resume, convincing the hiring manager on the other hand is another story.
  
  Electronic formatting and Attachments
  When sending your resume through email or through attachments there are times when your formatting will not be seen as the same on the other end. This may result in hinder the person on the other end from reading your resume at all because of the mistakes on your resume. So it is important that you try to send your resume to a friend's computer first to make sure that your document looks the same on both ends.
  
  Resume is not bulleted
  This is pretty much self explanatory, most resumes contain lists of items such as achievements or tasks completed and these items are separated by commas or just spaces. This can be very difficult to read and doesn't really highlight the items you want to show. Always use bullets to showcase the lists you want the reader to notice.
  
  Submitting to positions you're not qualified for
  Wishful thinking sometime make us assume that we are capable of doing a certain job, commonly it is best practice to research on a job first before trying to apply for it. So apply for a job that you know you can do, and avoid submitting your resume just for the sake of submitting it, because frankly, you'll just be annoying the hiring personnel and wasting their time.
  
  Proofread, proofread and repeat
  Always and always proofread your resume, and even let someone else read it for you. Make sure that you avoid grammatical errors on your resume. Run your resume through a spell checking program on your computer. Minor errors in grammar and spelling can really look bad on your resume; this only tells the hiring manager that you are not focused and concise as a person. Make sure that your dates, numbers, email addresses and other information are accurate.
