Job Interview Questions: Beard or no beard for DBA job interview?

My husband has interview for a DBA with a state college - he wants to know if he should shave his beard and look younger, leave it as is, or shave it into a goatee. Any ideas?

10 Tips For The Perfect Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Depends on what the beard looks like now - is it full and decent looking or lacking in areas ?? That would be my personal deciding factor

How to Get Your Dream Job - The 3 Step Job Interview Process


  • its best to shave it cuz personally i think beards(the long lumberjack kind) are just . . .not neat? the 5 o clock is ok. but during an interview, the employer pretty much examines not just the interview but your husbands attire, appearance, hygiene, etc.

  • Goatee look strong if they are tight.

Job Interview Questions: If I missed a call from a recent job interview, should I call back?

I missed a call from a place I interviewed at earlier. There was a 5 second message left, which consisted of the person on the other line trying to hang up. Should I call the number back or wait for them to call me back?

Recommended Answer:
Call them, what have you got to lose?.

It is a 50-50 chance if you call, it is a 0% chance if you do not call.

How To Get Ready For A Job Interview


  • call them.. show confidence!

  • Call them. Unless they left a message than they probably said you must not be that interested in the job but if you call them and explain you couldnt get to the phone in time shows that you do want the job by asking if they called you. Say to the person that picks up that you think think someone just called me and they they will say oh ya we did and then probably will forgive you and tell you what they wanted in the first place

Job Interview Questions: What to wear to job interview in biology lab?

I have an interview as a research associate (therefore entry level) in a biology lab. People at this company and in my city/region tend to dress extremely casually. As a woman, I don't exactly have a suit laying around and I'm pretty sure I'd look overeager and overdressed in one. Do you think gray slacks + white shirt + blue sweater + black flats would be appropriate or should I go drop $300 on a suit which I will never wear again??

Recommended Answer:
If it's microbiology lab you can wear microbiology T or polo: www.cafepress.com/GeoChemBio/7681…

I remember that I didn't wear a suit for interview for the lab. I had slick pants, casual top and a jacket on. It works.

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


  • I don't care how casually they all dress for work--they're already hired. The way people who are already employed normally dress every day at work is irrelevant to how YOU should dress in going in for a job interview. You need to dress as nicely as you can, as conservatively as possible. You may feel you're overdressed, but for an interview you're not. Once you're hired it's a different story--as casual as everyone else, but right now, you're NOT like everyone else there, 'cause they're on the inside and you're not. From your description, it sounds like what you propose to wear is probably ok, but if you don't feel that what you have is good enough, then yes, you should drop some dough on nice dress or semi-dress clothes--it's an investment--you'll probably make all that money back with your first paycheck, and you can't predict with any certainty that you'll never wear them again, but if you want to get hired in the first place, you want every advantage you can get.

  • I've had many job interviews in the science field. Working in a lab you dress very casually because you are working with chemicals and samples that will just chew away and destroy your clothing. What you describe is exactly what I always wore to my interviews for jobs and graduate school, and I think it is definitely acceptable. No need to drop $300 on a suit. I've seen some people wearing dirty old converse and emo jeans, some people in full on suits and I've even seen someone wear a mini skirt with high heels, lol, but I think presenting yourself in slacks and a nice sweater with flats (no heels) will be a great first impression. You want to look sophisticated and smart, you don't want to look extremely laid back or like you are trying too hard to impresss.

    BTW what is a research associate? Do you have a PHD? I have always seen people at the PHD level wearing suits for interviews or seminars, but never for lab tech or graduate student positions.

    • It's always easy man!

      Make du'a your whole way there!

      When you answer those questions you just answer generally good sounding answers. They just want to see that you're confident and sharp.

      "why do you think you could be an asset" "Well sir, I could be a great asset to this company. I feel as if even the small guys of a the company should take the job as seriously as if they were one of the owners, every thing matters! I am outspoken, polite and very intelligent. I am on time and I am a pursuasive person."

      Get it, just speak generally and sound like you know what you're doing.. no problem

      but make du'a the whole way there

    • Just relax, you will let alot from the interview video's on this website. Most of the questions you asked like ''why do you think you would you be an asset to us?' or 'why do you want to work for us?' 'what previous experience do u have that can help you in this job?' are all answered.

      All you need to do is practice how you will respond to them when they are asked. Good luck

    • i like what jihad said.

      and say that u r very 'goal-oriented.'

      if things go bad, place the race card: "is this cuz im muslim?' lol got me through HS

      salam

    • Inshallah you will get the job.

      anytime :)
