    Discriminatory Job Interview Questions to Avoid



    Recommended Answer:
    try to calm down between now and then. remember this is just the first one of about 100 or more over you life time. yuck, sorry that's an awful thought.

    first of all dress like you're going to church. no crazy make up or hair. just clean cut and confident.

    i would bring a small note book and pen, but i doubt they will expect you to take notes. it just looks like you have come prepared.

    make sure you have names and numbers etc for people they might want you to write down as a reference. if you never worked before, you can still use say someone you baby sat for or maybe you even cleaned someones house. most kids forget about those.

    pay attention, if you don't feel you understand what the job will require, ask questions.
    know what hours you will work. they can't pay you under minimum wage, what that is now i don't know, but you can ask anyone who works at the employment agency in your town. just call them.
    but who ever interviews you should tell you that soon as they tell you what you have to do,

    also, if a uniform isn't supplied as what you should wear, outfit and shoes.

    now after the interview, if you are able to get an email address, send a thank you for them taking their time to interview you for the job and you really hope you are qualified enough to get the position.

    if you can't get an email, wait a day or so and call and ask if there are any other questions they would like to know regarding the job and the interview you just had, and then mention the day.

    once a million years ago, in college, i wanted the waitress job cause it was close to campus and the tips were good. i called and called but i could never seem to get the owner. found out later he was ann airline pilot don't know why he didn't allow his manager to hire. anyway, when he did get back they told him about the calls for the job, and since i called like 10 times, they wanted him to see me first just to stop me from calling. ha,,,,anyway, i got the job..

    good luck, you'll do fine i'm sure.

    Job Interview Answers - 5 Of The Most Common Questions Demystified


    • This is a very important part in your development as a part of the workforce and as a member of society, so I urge you to take it seriously and to be very concerned regarding this issue. Following are a series of pointers I can give you to succeed in this endeavor. Of utmost importance is the topic of sexuality. If your potential employer is a woman between the ages of 20 and 75, I suggest you sexually relieve yourself before the interview, just to make sure that when she is asking questions you are actually paying attention to her, and not thinking of her sexuality. This is true unless you are gay, in which case the converse will be true. On a second note, the topic of nervousness is also very important. You run the risk of attending the interview and being too nervous to even answer the questions you are asked. For this reason, I suggest you drink five or six shots of tequila or your favorite spirit before the interview to such an end that you will be very relaxed. At times, although not always recommendable, is also helpful to experience the effects of cannabis in order to become relaxed. On a final note, your incompetence and lack of experience can weight against you in this topic. For this reason, I suggest you lie in all instances to your interviewer. Do not let him know that you have never had a job and create a tale relating how you used to work in the adult entertainment industry or whatever you like and how you chose this particular job because of environmental issues.

    Job Interview Questions: Would it be obvious if i went to a job interview a little drunk?

    i suck at interviews, ive bombed a couple of interviews in my life. should i show up to the group interview a little drunk? would they know?

    Job Interview Success Checklist



    Recommended Answer:
    Yes. They will know. You will be acting drunk, and you will smell like booze.

    Better to Practice with someone until you get good at it. Do you have a parent or experienced friend who will work with you? A parent or adviser? Even if you don't, you may be able to work with someone at the employment office (go in and ask).

    Many people don't do well in interviews because they don't do it often. Practice makes perfect. Good luck.

    • It wouldnt be so obvious if u just drink enough to feel uninhibited but not enough to be talking like a drunk person, i used to work drunk a lot btw, very drunk on some days, but my boss was rarely around.

    • www.gogaminggiant.com/wp-content/…

    • If you've bombed interviwes why would you want to go drunk? Yes, they will notice so you'll just bomb this one too!

    • Maybe, but if you've been bombing them already, what have you got to lose? Might as well try something different.

    • DO IT. But don't have very much, you want just enough to loosen up but not enough to make an idiot out of yourself.

    • I dont know I just need points

    • no sh*t

    • No, man

    Job Interview Skills: How to Manage a Bad Interview!



    Recommended Answer:
    You could go with a pair dress pants and a nice blouse. Whatever you do don't wear jeans, obviously. Make sure your hair is neat. Easy on the accessories. If you're going to wear make up, make sure it's lightly applied. One of your dresses may work too if it's below the knee, is not sleeveless, and not too low-cut.

    Good luck! I have an interview tomorrow too!

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

      I'm 17 and i'm interviewing at a little family owned cheese shop. I worked at Subway until I quit on Monday, and I just wore khaki pants to that interview, but I felt like I was overdressed. Would jeans be okay or should I dress it up a little anyways?

      Lethal Job Interview Mistakes



      Recommended Answer:
      Just dress smart but casual. You don't want to be going in a business woman's suit, yet you don't want to be going in sweat pants and a baggy top.

      I recommend that you wear a nice casual t-shirt and some Cotton pants or plain jeans that have know holes or dark or light patches in for the fashion. You want to look professional yet easy and nice to work and get on with.

      Also make-up is important if you normally wear it. Don't go in with make up on like your going to a party, go for the natural look for example skin tone foundation, light lip gloss or lipstick and light shades of eye shadow.

      Hope I helped.

      Job Interview Questions: Job interview yesterday asked to get a drug test did i get the job?

      I went to an interview yesterday and talked with two different people. After the interview they had me fill out a background check consent form and printed me off a paper to get a drug test done, and also asked my shirt size. Does this mean i got the job? They never said we will be in contact or anything? I got the drug test done this morning, how long will it take for them to get the results of the background check and drug test?

      Succeeding in a Job Interview



      Recommended Answer:
      The drug test can take as little as one day, but plan on 4-5 days and that would include the background check as well. These checks and tests cost them money (you didn't pay for them, right?) so it is likely that they are planning to hire you. The shirt size (this is a "uniform" type of position, right?) is also additional conformation, but nothing is a guarantee until you get the call or the letter, but be prepared.

      What Colors To Wear To A Job Interview


      • If you are asked to take a drug test and asked what size you wear, it's safe to say you got the job (assuming you passed the drug test)

      • Sounds like a conditional job offer.

      • yeah if you did the drug test you got the job

        just a matter of a few days till you hear from them now

      Job Interviews - How to Ace a Telephone Job Interview



      Recommended Answer:
      Provided this job is a "career" job and not just a job you'll hold until something better comes along, ask the following:

      What is the average longevity of the employees there? Is there much turn-over?
      How much, if any, overtime is required/expected? (Let them know that you don't mind OT)
      What, if any, retirement and benefits plans are offered?
      What is the starting salary range? Negotiate the final pay after the initial offer is made, but don't get greedy. Know what you what to earn. If they offer that (or even more), take it. Don't assume that they are low-balling you if they're offering a fair compensation package. Don't be afraid to ask for them to consider paying you more if they offer you less than you feel you deserve.
      What are the opportunities for advancement? (Let's them know you're interested in growing with the company and intend to stay)

      To the guy who said not to ask how much you'll earn, that is just INSANE not to ask!! No one should ever take a job without knowing how much they'll earn. Employers expect you to ask if they don't offer the information up front.

      The Two 'Toughest' Job Interview Questions


      • What are there principles, philosophies/rules. the history of the company, bt keep it short and simple, Good luck thou, i hope you get that job.

      • ask what you can do to make the working environment better than it already is, ask what your responsibilities are, DO NOT ASK HOW MUCH YOU ARE GOING TO BE GETTING PAID UNTIL YOU HAVE WORKED THERE FOR AWHILE.

      • Change the logo of your company to impress 'em.

      Job Interview Questions: What should I expect at a Job Interview?

      I'm just wondering what I should expect at a Job Interview, What kind of question will they ask? My first interview at MacDonald

      What to Do Before, During and After a Job Interview



      Recommended Answer:
      For a professional interview usually they ask something about yourself and ask everything that you wrote in your resume. They also ask for your strength, weakness, opportunities and threats. What are the things that you want to do like sports, hobbies and other stuff.

      They also ask why did you apply for that certain position or why did your choose that company among others.

      The key to an interview is confidence, knowledge and willingness to take the risk. So just relax, pray and everything will be alright.

      Lots of goood luck and hope you get the post :)

      Essentials of Job Interviewing


      • The first thing they will probably ask is "Tell me something about yourself" They want to know about you: I am an organized, self-motivated, and energetic person. I like to be part of a team and have flexible work hours. I am a quick learner and really want this job.
        They will ask you to explain when you: were part of a team; when some project you worked on failed (what did you do); have you ever worked with the public; what are your strengths; what are your weaknesses.
        They always ask if you have any questions for them. A good question is, "I like to learn new things. Is there training available for me?"
        Hope this helps: congrats on getting an interview.
        Oh, smile; it helps.

      • Describe yourself?
        What are your strenghths/weaknesses?
        what does customer service mean to you?
        Maybe some senarios....customer angry at you for giving wrong change...what do you do?
        previous experience?Good luck!

      • "can you put things in a fryer then take them out 40 seconds later?"

        "have you ever been convicted of murder?"

        1. yes
        2. no

        congrats, you got the job

      Job Interview Questions: What should I do about job interview?

      So McDonald's called me for a job interview which I was thrilled about. However, I was not expecting them to call me as the location is 5 miles away. I don't have a car and there are no buses that go to the area. So I will have to walk to the destination. Should I bother jogging 5 miles to the McDonald's for the interview? Or should I just focus on getting a job closer by?

      Job Interview Practice - You've Done Your Interview Prep, Now What's the Best Way to Practice?



      Recommended Answer:
      Jobs are hard to come by nowadays. I would do the interview and if they offer you a job, then you can decide. Always try and at least now you have a true option to take it or not. The worst that will happen is you will get a good experience at job interviewing and not get offered the job and use what you learned for the next interview somewhere else. Plus 5 miles is not that far away if you ride a bike!
