Get Hired Fast & Earn More - Top 5 Job Interview Tips

Recommended Answer:
Dress like the an Old Navy employee -- casual but neat: khaki pants, a nice top, closed toe shoes. Don't wear flip-flops or sandals. Don't wear sleeveless/strapless/tank tops, shorts or sweatpants.

Go prepared to answer the standard retail interview questions: Why did you choose retail? Why did you apply at this company, when there are so many other brands? What previous work experience do you have? What did you do at your previous job? Why did you quit? How do you feel about asking customers to apply for a Old Navy brand credit card? What retail skills do you have? Can you work the cash register? Would you describe yourself as a team player? Give me an example of when you worked as part of a team. What do you expect from Old Navy as an employer? What is an ideal manager? What are you looking for in terms of pay? What hours can you work? Do you have any school conflicts? When can you start?

I would NOT mention that this is your 5th interview, or that you have applied to other stores. I would emphasize that you are interested in a career in retail, like (and wear) the Old Navy product, the store environment, how the product is marketed/sold, working with other people, etc. I would also ask for the lowest hourly pay rate Old Navy offers; get your foot in the door. Try to come across as friendly and open, but also knowledgeable and professional. Have you checked out the Old Navy website under "Careers" for more information? Do your research before you go; asking for help on Yahoo Answers is a good start.

Top 6 Tips For Giving a Great Job Interview and Getting a Job

• Sit up straight
  
  Maintain eye contact
  
  Talk with confidence and always have a question for the interviewer at the end since it shows interest
  
  Dont fiddle with hair or fingers it shows nervousness
  
  talk like you are interested in the job. Many people talk bored like they are forced or not interested.
  
  Do NOT look at the clock while at a interview it creates an impression of having better things to do
  
  Answer questions with examples of past experiences and explain how they connect to the question at hand.
  
  Avoid using filler words like "hmmm" and instead say nothing while you think and then respond.


• Well here's the problem...you're 17, I have no clue how you got the interview because Old Navy, like most retail stores, does not hire people under 18. You can apply at Abercrombie or Hollister, they're two of the very few retail stores that hire constantly and hire people under 18.

Job Interview Questions: I missed a job interview is that bad?

I thought it was on Monday but it turned out to be on the saturday before monday. Will I never get a job at that place again? Can I apply to the same job at a different branch? Or does my info go to every branch so that I can't get a job at any of them?

Passing a TEFL-ESL-TESOL Job Interview and Landing That Dream Job Abroad

Recommended Answer:
Apologize right away, being as honest as possible without giving a bunch of excuses. Unfortunately in this job market, they may have so many applicants this might have completely knocked you out of the running. Depending on the company, information may or may not go out to all branches. If you applied through a corporate office it most likely would. If you applied with just the branch manager, you may be safe.

And if you get a second chance, don't blow it again!!!

Job Interview Questions: What is the best time to have a job interview from the employee's perspective?

Job Interview Success

Recommended Answer:
You have a good idea, but by the end of the week, the job may have been given to someone else. It will save the employer time, and therefore, money, to hire the first qualified applicant.

How to Prepare for Your Sales Job Interview

• I would agree that the end of the week is the best. They'll have a good feel for the applicant pool, and if you come across strong in the interview, you'll stand out in their mind.
  
  I don't think order matters too much in the final analysis, though. Once I hired a candidate who was the very first one on the very first day. It just happened that he was the best candidate.
  
  Good luck with the interview!


• Just be lucky they called you in for and interview, could be 24/7 have the proper requirements for that job believe in yourself and dress positive. The first impression is what counts....

Job Interview Questions: What personal info can I get away with not giving on a job interview?

I'm starting job interviews soon and with all the identity fraud going on I just wanted a
few opinions on the subject. Do I have to give my social security number or can I just give my license number?

A Guide to the Most Evil Job Interview Questions

Recommended Answer:
I would never give any information like SSN or even license number until I've gone to the actual company's offices to confirm they are legit. There are too many scammers online using the names of legitimate businesses but have nothing to do with the actual company. They will want to do online or phone interviews, then ask for personal information. Don't do it. Always wait until you go into the office. And if you want more security, check the Better Business Bureau or local Chamber of Commerce to get more info about the business before you go in if you are not familiar with them

Preparing to Answer Job Interview Questions

• You shouldn't have to do either as they will do a background check but yeah do not give the your SSN or DL number and just show them ID and do interviews with companies that you know are legitimate and not something you saw on craigslist.org


• Give it out.
  No one is going to steal your identity at a workplace.
  They'll get caught.
  
  Do not use your card online - this is where all this identity theft is going on.

Job Interview Questions: Am I overdressed for my job interview?

I have a job interview for an accounting position at a small, moms-and-pops type of retail store that sells business suits. Because it's an administrative/accounting position, I was planning on wearing my usual dress suit, blazer & buttoned up blouse, but is this too much for a small retail store?

The 11 Cardinal Mistakes of Job Interviews

Recommended Answer:
I would say for this profession yes, you should wear a suit. Accounting is dealing with a company's money right? So you want to come across as professional as possible and give the impression that you are serious about your job. A general rule of thumb is to never dress less than "business casual" for any job. Again for jobs like sales, marketing, accounting and executive roles, always wear a suit.

Self-Speaking Lies About Job Interviews

• I would always wear a suit to an interview. My boss even remarked on it later saying he knew I was ready to get to work as soon as he saw me, and it weighed heavily on his decision to hire me. First impressions are everything especially in job interviews.


• You should try a gownless evening strap.


• u can never be too dressed up


• No its not. It lets them know you are a proffesional and you carry yourself well no matter where you are.


• Definitely not, dress to impress!


• pleather thong, vinal chaps and pasties! how i got my job damnit


• you have to wear some what special dresses like suit, etc.
  then only you might be special one.


• Rule of thumb: When in doubt, it is always better to overdress than under dress. Go for the suit.

Job Interview Questions: Is filling out a W-9 required for reimbursement of travel expenses for a job interview ?

I went for a job interview and to get reimbursed for my expenses The company I interviewed for required I fill out a W-9 to get my expense reimbursed. Is that a requirement of the IRS?

How To Make Job Interviews Easy

Recommended Answer:
Give them the w-9.

Keep in mind that they may well send you a 1099-Misc for the money at the end of the year. They don't have to treat this like an accountable plan.

If they do bill you, it's income. Your job interview expenses could be deducted on schedule A, but I doubt you itemize.

Which of These Job Interview Problems Would You Like to End?

• I have been reimbursed (by several different companies) for interview travel expenses without completing a W-9. If it is a requirement, it must be new, because I do not think that those companies were all breaking the law.


• if it was more than $600 then yes.

Job Interview Questions: What should I bring to a job interview?

I have a job interview in 4 hours at a small computer shop. I faxed my application, cover letter and resume over a few weeks ago. Should I bring any of these things?

Job Interview Tips Begin With Knowing the Process

Recommended Answer:
I would bring the resume and application just in case your interviewer misplaces the items. This will eliminate the potential for any awkward moments and shows that you are prepared and thorough.

I Have a Job Interview - What Should I Do?

• It is never a bad thing to bring another copy of your resume and cover letter. Like someone else mentioned above, sometimes items get misplaced. If the hiring manager did misplace your resume, you have another copy for him or her.
  
  It also helps to have your own copy too. A lot of hiring managers go down through a resume asking questions. If you both have a resume to follow, things will go more smoothly.
  
  You might also want to bring a notebook and pen to take notes. Good luck at your interview and it sounds like you'll do great since you are looking to be prepared and doing the research first!****I just realized that I answered this question too late - how did your interview go?


• Bring them if you want to have a quick read over before you go in. It's good to remind yourself of what you actually told them so you can answer questions about your application with more confidence.
  Bring a notepad if you think you'll want to make notes right after the meeting while it's still fresh in your mind.
  Bring a small bottle of water because your mouth/throat might be really dry afterwards!
  Bring anything else that'll make you feel comfortable and that you look your best eg. tissues, lipbalm, small mirror etc.
  Bring your passport if they require you to be a UK citizen.

Job Interview Attire - How to Choose the Right Career Clothes For Your Job Interview

• A nice collar shirt and pleated pants would be fine. Don't show up wearing a suit to a fast food interview, you look like a tool because its fast food and nobody really takes it seriously.


• formal dress is good for interview don't try to wear funky dress for an interview!!


• Business casual should do the trick. Some khakis, a polo and semi-formal shoes will work just fine


• School Shirt and Trouser with Black Shoes and wear a different tie.
  That all you need.


• Wear a suit :) means your ready for the Job :)


• Clean underwear and no Axe cologne...


• i would were a sporty polo
  Act nice


• Wear something formal. Prepare, prepare, prepare for all and every question. It is is just like going for an exam. Make sure you take an extra copy of your CV with you.
  
  The Interview:
  •Dress for the interview and the job. Don't overdress or look too informal.
  •Nice firm handshake, before the interview if your hands are sweaty, wash them off if you can
  •Have pen, notepad, extra copy of your resume (business cards if you normally use them) available where you can find them fast without fumbling through pockets or purse.
  •Always go to the interview alone. Arrange for baby sitters, transportation, and other pitfalls ahead of time so that you can be on time and relaxed in the interview.
  •Find common ground with the employer. Pictures, books, plants, etc., in the employer's office can be conversation interns leading into the interview (this can make both of you more comfortable).
  •Express your interest in the job and the company using information you gathered to prepare for the interview.
  •Let the interviewer direct the conversation.
  •Answer questions in a clear and positive manner. Show how your experience and training will make you productive in the shortest time with minimal supervision.
  Note:
  •Speak positively of former employers and co-workers no matter why you left even if you were fired from your last job.
  •Let the employer lead into conversations about benefits. Your focus on these items can be a "turn off." But, don't be afraid to ask questions about things that you really need to know.
  •When discussing salary, be flexible-avoid naming a specific salary. If you're too high, you risk not getting the job. If you're too low, you undersell yourself. Answer questions on salary requirements with responses such as, "I'm interested in the job as a career opportunity so I'm negotiable on the starting salary". Negotiate, but don't sell yourself short.
  Closing the Interview:
  •If the employer does not offer you a job or say when you will hear about it, ask when you may call to find out about the decision.
  •If the employer asks you to call or return for another interview, make a written note of the time, date and place.
  •Thank the employer for the interview and reaffirm your interest and qualifications for the job.
