How to Handle Skilled Job Interviewers & Behavioral Interview Questions

Recommended Answer:
This will win you the job. Listen Closely.

Iron your clothes the night before the interview. Make sure you dress business like. Dressing one step up is always a good sign. No Capri's, Jeans, T-shirts, Tank Tops, etc.

Dress shirts, Button up Shirt, Sweaters Khaki's, Black dress Pants, Dress * must go down to knee length where leggings*, Skirts * same rules as wearing a dress* <-- These are appropriate to wear.

Bring 3-5 Extra copies of your Resume, and your portfolio. With a BLACK ink pen without the cap

If you wear cologne or perfume only use one squirt.

Do NOT chew gum, put mints in your mouth before going in.

Greet The person at the desk nicely, it could be the boss or someone superior.

When going into the interview be nice and sincere, Shake their hands firmly and give a smile. Do not sit down unless you are told to.

Never slough in the chair, cross your legs *if must cross legs cross them at the ankles*

Be Confident, but not overly confident. Never ask about pay, bonuses, or anything dealing with money, vacations, or anything like that.

When they ask you if you have any questions, make sure you ask them questions like, What made you interested in this job? What do you look for in an employee? etc.

*Always stay positive!!!!*

and lastly, Right After the interview Type up, or buy a Thank You card.
Tell them you are thankful for having them take the time to interview and point some things out in the card or letter. Always sign your name

Black ink pens are Necessary!! I will not stress the fact. Blue ink and any other colors are Not Business pens, they are childish. Black ink is very professional.

I wish you the best of luck:)

Job Interview Questions: Tips for relaxing during a job interview?

I have an interview for a job that I really want at 4 today.

But during interviews I always get noticeably nervous, any tips for relaxing?

9 Steps to Job Interview Success

Recommended Answer:
It is important to like and know enough about the company you are interviewing with. After researching, take note of what is very similar to your background and beliefs. For example, if you like that the company has a youth outreach program and you volunteered or participated with one; if the company is a Green company that finds ways to not pollute the environment by recycling and you are doing things yourself to better preserve the land; or they are affilliated with a charity that you support. This enables you to have connection that you can utilize during the interview because you are referencing what you already are at ease with. Everyone is a bit nervous at times, but try to present yourself in a calm not too relaxed manner. Think about your answers to questions before just blurting anything out. Arrive there about fifteen minutes beforehand, greet the receptionist with a friendly, confident and positive manner and take a seat to begin relaxing. As long as you made some preparation, your objective is to go have a friendly (but professional) talk with someone who may just offer you a job! Good Luck!

Succeeding in a Job Interview

• Just remember that you're having a conversation with another person. The same as you would at the grocery store, at a concert, or a barbeque.
  
  Don't focus on getting the job. Focus on making a friend and learning more about a company.
  
  And, remember, it's okay to be nervous. When I interviewed candidates, I expected them to be nervous.
  
  Take a deep breath and relax. You'll be okay whether you get the job or not. Afterall, if you don't get this one, there may be a better one waiting for you.


• I do too. Everyone else will probably say to drink or smoke before you go. You could do that but they might smell it. I would say just remember they are a human. I mean think of your past bosses. They are just normal people doing their job. Just breathe and you will do great.


• I totally disagree with the girl who said everyone would say drink or smoke.. who the hell says that? Idiots? Just try to breathe and remember they will expect you to be nervous. Maybe go for a brisk walk or something today to get yourself prepped. Good luck!

Job Interviews - Last Minute Strategies

Recommended Answer:
In face-to-face interviews, the prospective employer is trying get a feel for your personality and how you might fit into their work environment. If they ask you to tell them about yourself concentrate on your resume. Talk about your education--what you liked in school and what you were good at. Talk about clubs and activities you participated in, especially those in which you had a position of responsibility or leadership. Talk about your previous job experience, emphasizing things that you are proud of like promotions. This is your chance to brag about yourself.

Smile and be friendly. Treat it like any other situation in which you are meeting new people.

Good luck! I'm sure you will do well.

Dream Job Interviews - How to Crack the Tough Questions

Job Interview Questions: Will I get a job interview?

I applied at Starbucks. The lady called me back to ask me a few questions about my application. She asked me basic questions like my skills, why I want to work at Starbucks, etc. She then said she had to review other applications and she will call me back. Does it mean I can still get a job interview or was that rejection?

9 Most Common Job Interview Questions and Answers

Recommended Answer:
You may get a job interview and it depends on the other candidates. Whenever you speak with a potential hiring manager, you need to be prepared with a question about when you should expect to hear back. You don't want to appear needy or desperate, but it shows that you are interested in the job and that you want to follow up. You can also ask if it's okay to check back with her in a few days on the next step to work at Starbucks. If it's been a few days or up to a week and you still haven't heard back, take the initiative to go back in and speak to the manager who called you. Hopefully, you know the name of the person who called you. It's important to know the names and correct spelling of anyone you talk to for future thank you notes or follow up.

Good luck & it this does not pan out, keep looking for other opportunities!

Job Interview Weaknesses - How to Overcome These Common Job Interview Weaknesses

• If you don't get a call back, that was very unprofessional of her but you shouldn't worry about it. There should be plenty of other stores in your area where you can apply as well. The barista position is in high demand and Starbucks has a high turnover so don't be discouraged.
  
  If you are concerned, definitely follow up with the manager to set your mind at ease.

Job Interview Questions: How many references should you include on your reference sheet (job interview)?

Hi all. I have an interview for a computer networking job next Monday. I am curious, on a reference sheet how many references should be included? I've worked 3 other jobs (2 technical, 1 non technical) and I have references from both as well as college professor references. What is the best number to include on my reference sheet?

Job Interview Tips For Success

Recommended Answer:
If it is for a resume I always put "references upon request", you don't need them on your resume. But if it is asked on an application I always put three. I would only put job references because they can vouch for your actually work, as where college professors can only vouch for your "assignments". Hope this helps and good luck with the interview! I am a manger and have been on many job interviews, so this is what I look for and what I've found the interviewer was looking for as well.

Advice on Having a Successful Job Interview

• references upon request is fine. Usually 3 references is the ideal


• i think you must include the technical one
  because you are going for a computer networking job.

Job Interview Questions: Help, important job interview in 45 mins. Can a mens facial hair chin strap and mustache be professional?

My husband has several important job interviews over the next few days, the jobs are double and triple his previous income. Is a chin strap with a mustache considered professional for a managerial position with a loan company?

Will You Be Ready For Your Next Job Interview?

Recommended Answer:
Definitely. It should help him look experienced. If it's a problem and the job is really that good, the company will let him know their policy on facial hair.

Any interviewer that is so shallow to pass on someone with a neat facial hair style (not a lazy bum type beard), is not worth working for.

Job Interview Questions: Would it be acceptable to wear a simple black professional dress with a blazer to a job interview?

Would a simple black knee length dress, professional blazer, pantyhose, and black pumps be ok for a job interview? I seriously hate wearing pants suits and skirt suits aren't much better. I think I'd feel more comfy in a dress.

Job Interviews -- The Real Reasons Why You Need to Follow Up

Recommended Answer:
I think it would give a great impression!

Preparing For Job Interviews

• You might not want to hear this, but a skirt suit would be the best way to go.
  
  Always err on the side of what is guaranteed to be acceptable. Standards of attire vary from employer to employer. If the job comes down to you and one other person, you wouldn't want to lose the offer just because the other person was "better dressed." You don't want to leave anything to chance.
  
  Wait until you are actually hired before you start experimenting with your outfits. Once you are "in," most employers offer leeway as to what their staff can wear. You can also speak to your coworkers about what is appropriate. However, interviewing isn't the time to be adventurous with the wardrobe.
  
  Good luck with the interview.
  
  :-) Nohealani


• I agree with Nohealani. Although this sounds very nice and professional to me, you don't really want to leave anything to chance. Going with a skirt suit maybe a safer option. Instead of thinking it as being uncomfortable, think of it as you won't have to worry about your attire being acceptable...it is. This should allow you to focus all your attention on giving a great interview.
  
  Good luck!


• Knee length is a good length, nice and professional. Make sure also to wear nude hosiery, or at least some sort of sheer hosiery. Opaque tights are not really professional looking at all. I don't know why they're so fashionable in general, when sheer hose are wayyyyyyyy better.
