Thank You For The Job Interview - Are You Sending a Follow Up Letter?

• First of all, my suggestion is to make sure you look presentable for your interview. Make sure you are wearing appropriate clothing (dress skirt or suit depending on gender) and be very polite. Show that you care enough about your appearance. Another suggestion is to take out any odd piercings (like eyebrows) depending on what kind of job you are being interviewed for. Jeans and a t-shirt and weird, distracting piercings? Not a good idea. Show the interviewer that you respect them enough and that getting this job is important to you.
  Secondly, if you have an angry customer, keep the philosophy that the "customer is always right" (even if you personally think they are crazy!) remain calm. DO NOT raise your voice. Speak normally but slowly, and call the customer Ma'am or Sir.
  My friend is the boss where she works and these were the suggestions she gave to me.
  
  also, if you are going to work at a law office for instance, dress up. but if you are going to an animal shelter and plan to be scooping poop? A collared shirt would be best.


• Well if you have an angry customer what you want to do is listen to them without any interruptions, empathize and apologize for whatever the inconvenience is, and then resolve the problem. The importance of this question is that the hiring manager wants to know if you would be able to handle certain situations.


• The best answer I can give you for an interview is to always be positive. Employers don't like to hear the word no. It may sound funny, but for example, if you're offered a cup of coffee then say you'd love one. That's even IF you don't drink coffee. Aside from that, just be yourself and be truthful in all of your answers. Many employers can see right through candidates that are being fake. Or if they hire you only to find later on you lied, well let's just say that won't be fun.


• Just say that you ...you know they are angry and them seeing you get angry would only make matters worse....so you would remain calm...show them that you empathize with them...and try to defuse their anger by being as calm and helpful as you can.


• be positive every interviewer likes a positive person it lets them no that you'll try ur best to b nice to all the customers

Job Interview - Best Prep Questions

Job Interview Questions: Is it ok to wear jeans at a job interview?

the job interview is at chuck e cheese, im a guy, 17 and needs advice haha

Preparing For the Perfect Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
It's OK to wear clean, nice jeans to an interview for a fast food place (and Chuck E Cheese IS fast food). You must avoid jeans that don't fit, that are torn, and you must avoid sagging (jeans fitting below the natural waistline). At the very least, wear a polo shirt.

If you want to make a better impression and have a better chance at the job, though, wear khakis at least, and possibly slacks. Wear a buttoned woven (not knit) shirt with a collar. And make sure to bring a couple of working pens, so that you can fill out forms.

Why Being Interviewed First Can Mean "Last" in a Job Interview

• Depends on the employer. At a place like Chuck-E-Cheese, it should be fine.


• I think it would be fine for Chuck E Cheese. The trick to dressing for an interview isn't dressing up but dressing appropriately for the job that you want. It is possible to over dress for an interview.


• That depends on the employer or the kind of job you're seeking for..
  
  But as you have further explained, it is ok for chuk e cheese. It is hope that this answered your question. Thanks


• It depends on what job you want if you want to be a doctor or a lawyer you should wear a suit and tie.But mainly jeans are not formal for a job interview good luck


• I always have this idea that format dress is good but if jeans make you feel more confident
  then there is no problem with it. After all its all about confidence.


• Whatever the place is - you should never wear jeans.
  Think about it - if they are seeing loads of people who are all the same you will stick out the most if you are looking smart and professional in nice trousers and smart shirt- whatever the job no matter what it is.. go smart


• Not even at Chuck E Cheese.

Job Interview Questions: Revealing sexual orientation during job interview?

I am a lesbian interviewing for a job with a not for profit organization, this is a direct snippet from their affirmative action plan ".... our affirmative action plan currently concentrates on recruitment of people from four groups for its staff and committees: third world people; women; gay, lesbian, and bisexual people; and people with disabilities"... I want to be open at my new job would it be ok to reveal my sexuality during the interview?

Recommended Answer:
why would u have to during an interveiw?? it shouldn't come up... it'd be better to mention it after u get the job but i dont see why it's necessary

Job Interview Mistakes to Avoid

• When does sexual orientation come up during an interview? Any interviewer asking such questions should be fired-- has nothing to do with the job unless it is a brothel. As for an affirmative action plan stating that, really bizarre. I suppose if you want to reveal your sexuality during an interview, that is up to you. But keep in mind, while this bizarre affirmative action plan may be the "policy" doesn't mean all the supervisors doing interviews agree with it. So you might just blow your chances of being hired if the person doing the interview doesn't have the corporate philosophy to heart. And if you don't get hired, little you can do to prove it was because of your expressed sexuality.
  
  But overall, why do people think other people care or want to know personal information of such detail? Most don't.


• How exactly will you bring that up in the interview?
  
  What reaction do you want from those interviewing you?
  
  Personally, it would annoy me if you brought it up. It really doesn't matter whether your gay or straight. Straight people don't go into an interview and declare their sexuality. You shouldn't either.
  
  Though....
  
  At the moment, because companies need to fill a "diversity" policy, if your gay or an ethnic minority and qualified for the job, your very likely to get it......


• It should never come up anyway, I wouldn't reveal your sexuality. Most people don't want to know about sexual orientation during a job interview. Save that stuff for your personal time.


• Only if they hire you to be a lesbian.To perform lesbian sex in front of every body,everyday.


• If it says it concentrates on the recruitment of LGBT people, then you have a better chance of being hired.


• yes, if they don't accept it then it's not worth it!

Job Interview Questions: Have u ever been rejected at a job interview cos of ur tattoes?

2day i went 2 a job interview at a gas station and the manager told me sorry but we dont hire people with tattoes and i c u have one on ur neck(a rose).Then she told me that she didnt wanna waste my time so the interview was canceled.Does that ever happened 2 any of u?not being hired cos of a tat?how did u feel?

A Guide to Preparing For Your Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
A great many places will not hire anyone with visible tattoos, body piercings (except pierced ears - and wear good quality earrings), etc. "Professional attire and professional appearance" are required most places, especially if you come into contact with the public.

Foolish place to get a tattoo. Can you wear turtlenecks to hide it - not just for the interview, but every day at work? Consider getting it removed.

How to Earn a Winning Grade on Your Next Job Interview

• When I interviewed at my last job I would pretty much write off any applicant with a visible tatoo. It is very unprofessional looking. I'm glad that even gas stations are discouraging it. Hopefully this fad of defacing every inch of a person's body will go away soon. I can't wait to see the 70 year olds walking around in 30 years with tattoos on their necks.


• It could be that they just didnt like the look of you and used that as an excuse.
  
  Then again - I do know that some places still dont like tattoos. Dont worry about it too much though - Still plenty of jobs out there!

Job Interview Questions: Job interview! PLEASE HELP!!?

I recently got a new job at a small law firm in september just for temporarily until i find a job in a hotel. And now i got a job interview at a high end hotel in Las Vegas.

The problem is that i don't know whether or not if should tell them during the interview that i am currently working or not. When I applied for the hotel job, i didn't write it on my resume because i didn't want it to effect my chances of getting picked for having such a short time period for a job i don't really care about.

PLEASE HELP ME! SHOULD I TELL THEM THAT I AM CURRENTLY WORKING OR NOT?
PLEASE HELP!

THANK YOU!

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

Recommended Answer:
This happened to me this summer.
I told the new job in the interview that I was working part time right now to supplement income but that they knew up front when they hired me that I was continuing to seek full time employment and that I would be leaving them when I found full time employment. Say you need to be fair and professional to them and give them your two weeks notice, but that you had discussed it with them at hire and they were prepared for your early departure. Then you sound responsible and not like a jerk. Good luck, I hope you get it!!

Job Interview Skills Tips - Sample Interview Thank You Notes

• I think you should be honest about having a job. I have done this already a few times and from my experience every employer likes it when you are honest about things and that will count as a bonus for you getting the job.


• Tell them, espeicially if you have to give notice of a week or more at your current job, that way if you're successful they will know when you are able to start. Its also evidence that you are willing to work.

Job Interview Questions: Do you bring your letter of recommendation to the job interview?

or do you submit it along with your resume online when applying for the job?

Job Interview Dress Code - Dressing for Success

Recommended Answer:
You should first ask if they want or need one in the first place. Then you can ask the recruiter if you should submit it w/ the application and resume. It's always a good idea to bring the letter and extra resume copies to your interview, then offer them to your interviewer.

Job Interview Guide: How to Answer Job Interviews and Land on Your Dream Job

• I'm 14 myself. And I honestly, I haven't gotten a job interview yet. But, I know just what to wear. (:
  First, never wear jeans, sweats, shorts etc. It just makes you seem like you don't really care about the job.
  Wear dress pants and a cute blouse, and a pair of cute shoes. Since you're getting an interview there, you don't want to wear anything to dressy. But like I said, dress pants a cute blouse and some nice shoes would work.
  Good luck, with your interview. (:


• be yourself, they'll appreciate that! if not, just smart casual.
