Job Interviewing Preparation: The Winning Approach!


  • Unless you are going for management it is not required. They will have you fill out an application anyways. Although it never hurts to take it with you for your own reference when filling out an application.
    As far as questions go I would ask you
    What made you apply for Target?
    What kind of experience do you have?
    What are your strengths and opportunities?
    How much money are you looking to make?
    What questions do you have for me?

Job Interview Questions: What shall I do if I have not heard back from a job interview?

I applied for a job recently, and the hiring manager said that she would get back to me on the 29th April to inform me if I had been successful in the short listing process. However, it is now exactly a week and I am really anxious. Should I phone her or email her to find out, or would I come across as sounding desperate and impatient?

How to Handle a Courtesy Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
I think the best thing to do would be to call or email since its already been a week, however, in the future (if you don't get this job) I would recommend sending out a thank you card immediately after leaving the interview.

I have managed to find 2 great jobs in a very bad economy and I was told by the hiring manager that the nice thank you note sealed the deal. It really set me apart from the others they were considering, and thats coming from the managers.

The note said something like "I just wanted to thank you for your time and let you know that I am very interested in the _______ position. After speaking with you about this job in detail, I know that I will be a perfect fit with your team. If you choose to go with another candidate, I completely understand, and please feel free to keep my information on record for future reference and if your business needs change,"

That little 99 cent card got me the job :)

Try it next time. As for now, a nice email stating something similar to what I just said would be your best shot because it would get there quicker than a card. You want to make sure that you get back to her as soon as possible in case shes still in debates about who to hire.

Good luck, it sounds like either shes really busy and running behind schedule or you may not have gotten it :/

The Secret Revealed Behind Tricks That Interviewers Use During Job Interviews


  • You can feel free to give her a call, but at this point it is unlikely that you are going to get the job. However, there is definitely nothing wrong with following up after an interview. It shows that you care about the job. Your choice of wording will determine if you sound desperate and impatient.

Job Interview Questions: Job interview to be a tattoo apprentice?

I need a small portfolio of my work to show at my interview - any suggestions of what I should draw to make my portfolio better? My minds run blank haha. Thanks

Tips For a Successful Job Interview and Land on Your Ideal Job



Recommended Answer:
drawings that show you've progressed are very important. i'd also like to add this: be open to criticism. when you're only starting in this industry, it's extremely important to not let your ego get in the way. you think you can draw well, if you didn't, you wouldn't be applying. but beware of being delusional and stubborn.

don't specifically focus on tattoo designs. what an artist is willing to see in your work is how you draw in general - do you have a particular style? can you blend? what about your colors? what stuff do you draw? can you step out of your comfort zone? will you be able to draw what the customer wants?will you take forever to do it? can you sketch fast? do you practice different things or focus on only something you like?

mixed media is great for a portfolio. try new things, try watercolor and oils, acrylics and pastel. the more the better PLUS it will help you with your tattooing in the future. tattooing is just another media, if you think about it.

good luck!

Discriminatory Job Interview Questions to Avoid


  • You have an interview and you're just now putting together a portfolio? Not good. When looking at a portfolio from a potential apprentice, we look for a lot. We look for work in mixed media, not just drawings. You need to have paintings in watercolor and acrylics. You need to have chalk work, colored pencil drawings, and drawings you've done in ink and graphite, and markers. Don't think that drawing typical tattoo art is the way to go. The people looking at your portfolio don't want to see a bunch of skulls and roses, they want variety. They want to see your creative genius, ideas from your mind. Be creative and expressive. Remember, as a tattoo artist, you may someday be called upon to create an image from a thought in someone's head..

  • Also, you don't need to have only the best drawings/paintings etc... We look for progression of talent. We want to see that over the years you got better, and have the ability to get even better. If you've hit your plateau already, then there's no room for you to grow and expand as an artist.

  • Draw stuff that is original. Maybe a self port. of yourself

Smiling Your Way to Success in a Phone Job Interview


  • yes, just say you currently have a job that you are performing well but you believe you need a new challenge, more responsibility or whatever. Wouldn't they rather have someone who is already employed in a similar field who can prove their experience? Why consider lying about it?

  • YOU CAN TELL THEM YOU ARE WORKING...AND IF THEY ASK TELL THEM YOU JUST WANT A CHANGE AND EXPLORE A LIL SO THATS WHY YOU APPLIED THERE TO HAVE MORE OPTIONS

Job Interview Questions: First Job interview in over a YEAR. I'm freaking out, I need help/advice/tips?

I have my first job interview in over a year. I'm beyond nervous because I REALLY want this job, but DOZENS of people have applied for it.

I'm a good worker but I'm not very good at interviews. How can I ace this? And a few questions.

When an interviewer says "So tell me about yourself" <-- What do they really want to know.

What trick questions should I be prepared for? And how do I answer them?

Anything that they might throw at me that I should be ready for?

How do I make a good impression? Ive had interviews before for jobs I had experience for but I never got a call back so I must be doing something wrong.

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

5 Steps to a Great Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
When they ask you "So tell me about yourself" remember it is not a blind date your set up with, they don't care to hear about the personal stuff, just how well you will fit the qualifications for the position (ie hard worker, employee of the year, with prior job for 10 years, worked up to supervisor of department). Know the job you are applying for and what qualifications they are looking for. Have bullet points how YOU fit those qualifications. Bring a fresh resume to the interview and present it to the person interviewing you. Make sure to write down their name/department/title and send an email or letter that afternoon thanking them for their time and reiterating how you are a suitable candidate.

Dress for the position. Bring a leather bond notebook and take notes during the interview. Have questions for them regarding the position or company and NOT about hours, salary or moving up in the company. You make a good impression by being comfortable and friendly.

Job Interview Questions - How to Answer Popular Job Interview Questions


  • I agree with E & L the "Tell me about your self" should be answered with a shot 30-60 second statement about he value you bring to a company.

    Here is a list of the 50 most common interview questions. www.gettoknowu.com/LifeLessons/Co… This should help so you are not taken off guard.

    Good luck.

  • Make sure any resume is not a standard MS WORD resume, but something tailored to you and your accomplishments and the job you are seeking (I am no good at this either).

    There are books at the libraries and bookstores on interview questions and how to answer them.

    Just be yourself. Be polite, well-dressed, well-mannered, maybe a little bit of cologne (turns heads).

    Don't say anything bad about your former employers or supervisors even if they were Attila the Huns. It makes you look like you would cut them down later.

    The question I hate is "What is your best attribute and what is the thing you were worst at on your last job?" Try to say "I was maybe a little too much of a workaholic"....or something like that...not "I goofed off alot."

    Tell them what you did well at your last job and how you improved things and how you will be an asset to THEIR company (research the company online as best you can). Probably tell them you are a "team player" and work well with people (always good).

    If you are older, say 40 or 50, it is difficult, because companies that hire fulltime with benefits often do not want to give health insurance to older workers, because they will more likely USE the benefits and their premiums (of which the company pays a major share) will be way higher.So they don't want to hire older workers fulltime. It is very hidden discrimination. They will sometimes hire 20 year olds fulltime quickly, because the health premiums for two 20 year old workers will be the same as one 50 year old worker. And they likely will pay into the health insurance, but rarely use it for anything major.

    Send a thank you note or card after the interview ASAP. They say people remember that, because hardly anyone does this.

  • I would search online for interview questions and especially ones tailored for the type of job you're interviewing for. I've been the interviewer and been on plenty of interviews myself, personally I like getting to the point and many simply ask the same questions anyway. Looking up questions will at least make you feel more prepared and less nervous.

    So when they say "tell me about yourself" - simply give them relevant information that pertains to giving them reasons to hiring you. The personal qualities you bring, the experiences you've had.

    Be sure to make appropriate eye contact, dress appropriately, and do not wear strong smelling cologne. You also want to make sure you know something about the company you're interviewing with especially if they've been in the news recently, have a few questions to show your interest and that you've been paying attention to the the interviewer, have a few copies of your resume on hand (more than one person could be interviewing you, and they may want to test your preparedness also).

    The only common question I can think of is "What are your strengths and weaknesses" I hate that question as an interviewee but as an interviewer I like to hear whatever BS someone comes up with. I would just be safe, and tell them something that used to be a weakness but is something you've actually improved upon.

Job Interview Questions: What to expect in second job interview for a civil engineering position?

i have to do a second interview with a structural consulting firm and i have no idea what to expect because in the first interview we talked about everything from my experience and knowledge, their company, their projects, even details of the software they use to my personal life. i just need someone who works in civil engineering field to clarify it for me please...thank you

What To Wear On A Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Be prepared to get asked more 'on the spot' type questions. Types of questions where you will be required to quickly think in order to come up with an answer. They want to know your ability to work under pressure since they already know you are qualified enough on paper. These questions could be very strange from something like 'What type of superhero powers would you have?' to something where they give you a situation in the working field and ask you how to solve it. Just get some good sleep and don't go in there nervous because these types of questions you can't really prepare for.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

      Job Interview Questions: What should I wear for my job interview?

      I'm going to a job interview for a teaching job, so obviously I want to make a good impression :) I've narrowed it down to two choices, a pink skirt suit, red scarf, black tights and a pair of black boots or a grey pant suit with ordinary shoes. Which would give the best impression?

      Telephone Job Interview Challenges - Preparation Is the Key!



      Recommended Answer:
      I am more business-oriented, so I am just assuming that the teaching profession more or less follows the same guidelines for attire.

      Personally, I would wear the dress. However, I wouldn't use black tights, especially if they are opaque. Depending on the stance of the interviewer, opaque black may cheapen the look of the dress. Err on the side of safety and go with skin-tone pantyhose, which is universally accepted in the business world. I would also opt for low heels instead of boots.

      I would wait until you are actually hired before you start getting too adventurous with your outfits. Once you're "in," talk to your peers to see what you can get away with.

      It is Important For Every Job Seeker to Know About the Job Interview


      • Consider what the person or people interviewing you would think would be appropriate for the ideal person they want to hire. I would suggest presenting an appearance that makes you look like you would fit the job very well. This is probably less an issue of colors, and more one of appropriate choice of styles. If you wouldn't wear it to the job you will take, be careful about wearing it to the interview.You could dress to the higher side slightly, but don't get far off base.
