Prepare for a Great Job Interview With These Questions and Answers

Recommended Answer:
Dress as you will when you work at your particular duties in the organization. Let the interviewer (s) see you as fitting in. Of course,use your Coach bag but only if it works with the rest of your outfit, otherwise it will appear staged.

Expect group-based questions to be bounced off of you and the other candidates. DO NOT show any negative attitude towards other answers! If anything, be bigger than that and approve of answers you strongly find agreeable. Questions should focus on your character values---honesty, generosity, desire to help the customer find what she wants and your wish to learn all you can about the lines of merchandise so you can become expert.

Good luck!

Job Interview Techniques

• For this type of job, I would wear something dressy, but I don't think you need to wear an actual suit; you don't want to look stuffy! Take your bag, definitely, and be prepared to answer, not only standard interview questions. This is a designer store; they're most likely looking for someone with a good sense of style, but is also personable. If you're interviewing for a sales job, they'll be looking for someone who can move the merchandise.


• Sounds like you're going to be interviewed as a group with other people all at once. I would go with a business/casual outfit. Be prepared to answer questions like how you plan to be an asset to the company, future ambitions with the company etc....


• Before you go in for an interview head by the store and take note of what kind of uniforms the people who currently work there are wearing. If I remember right, the people working in Coach stores wear a rather formal uniform of black pants, with a black blazer and a colored blouse. But that might just be the stores by my place. You should go to the one you might be hired at and take a look. Then, whatever the employees there are wearing, you should dress one level above. Unless they are wearing full on business attire. If all else fails a suit will always look good unless you're interviewing for a job as a cashier at a grocery store or something equally informal. Go ahead and take your Coach bag, it couldn't hurt your chances.
  
  You might be going to a group interview with other candidates so they can get a feel for who you are as a person and what type of position would best suit you. Then if there's interest there's a possibility that they will either interview you 1 on 1 or if you're going for a higher level position in the store you may be interviewed by up to 3 people.
  
  A 1 on 1 interview for a retail storefront position shouldn't be too difficult. They'll expect the usual from a retail employee, ie. professional attitude, handling stress during peak hours, customer relations skills, sales skills, fast-paced environment handling abilities and so on. They may also give you examples of a situation and require you to describe the action you took or would take, then the result of said action.
  
  I would say you should expect the normal run of the mill questions for working retail. They'll probably try to interview you all and get a feel for how you and the other candidates handle difficult situations in a retail environment such as what you'd do if you encounter a problematic customer, how you deal with stress during high-traffic shopping hours, and how you will deal with customer and coworker issues, as well as how you would approach a customer to sell an item in the store.

Job Interview Questions: Any tips for my job interview tomorrow?

So the company is having open interviews tomorrow, and it's for a full time job (hopefully). The job would most likely be putting circuit boards together, and I've never had a job before. What kind of questions can I expect? I'm 18 and just graduated high school last June. I feel pretty lucky that I'm in a position to get a good job like this out of school. I want to save up for community college, which is why I NEED work. Any tips anybody can give me?

Five Tips on How to Prepare for a Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
OK
AS a past employer all of these answers may make sense to you, but honestly it is not what we are looking for.
Dress appropriately, we don't want to see your chest or your butt hanging out. Sleaze does not please.
Watch your cologne and perfume, smell clean fine, but we don't want to smell you an hour later. Honestly one quick spray is enough. Employers are super offended and turn away more people who bathe in cologne.Not every one likes the same cologne as you, if your wearing what I consider to be a bad cologne, I will remember that when i making my decision
Women only wear jewelry, and in an interview we don't want to BLING. Women wear modest jewelry, When we see lots of gold and diamonds , employers think your taken care of and think you will be a problem. If you have the money for gold you must only want a job to past time.
Don't bring up Personal issues. IE: question are you married ( even if it a knife throwing malicious divorce) answer yes or no. NOT I am in the process of a divorce. That means mental stress' and missed days.
Do not ask the employer about his personal life, or mention anything about pictures of their family. People are protective and want to keep their personal life away from strangers.
Have resume in your hand! Even if you sent them already or filled out an application, show them your ambitious and think ahead. Show them your organization skills and have that resume ready.
If your asked, where do you see your self in five years, the BEST answer is in management. This shows ambition and that your wanting to stay with a company for a duration.
If your asked what do you bring to this company, the most hated answer is an employee that will be on time and hard working. Every body says that and it shows lack of Imagination. Say something like I don't ever make the same mistake twice, or an open minded, free thinking individual. Don't say, a highly experienced, your resume shows your experience. Saying this says again lack of Imagination and that your set in your ways.
BIGGEST mistake that every one makes. We, employers are always running behind with interviews and operation problems. DO NOT show up more than 10 minutes early. Show up on time ok, but we are more turned off by people sitting in our waiting area for an extended amount of time. It shows that your desperate.
DO NOT turn back on your answers, if you say Obama is an idiot, and the employer says he voted for him. Do not go back and say something positive about Obama to cover up your comment. Just explain that you don't mean any offense to them personally and drop the subject.
Give your self time between interviews so that your clean and ot rushed. If you schedule 10 interviews a day and it is a 100 degrees outside, your going to sweat. That sweat will start to smell and your cologne will fail. Common mistake is to spray more cologne on to cover the smell, bad move. Now you smell like sweat and cologne, UGH! Have enough time that if you have to, you can go home and shower.
You want to all you can to make a positive impression, and the best way to do that is to remain neutral in your personality but positive in your demeanor and answers
Good luck to you

Job Interview Questions: How should I answer this job interview question?

I'm a mathematician. I left my last job because my old boss got some big promotion overseas and the new boss didn't like me. She made things difficult and unpleasant for me so I walked away from the job. I am quite good at figuring out mathematical problems and applying or even developing new algorithms for various purposes and I have won many prizes for my work.

The general advice I have received re: job interviews is. Be yourself and be honest. So if they ask me this question, should I just answer it honestly?

Job Interview Mistakes!

Recommended Answer:
This is a tough one. Being honest and saying that you didn't get along with your manager might be something the interviewer understands and sees as valid, or it may make them think you're a pretentious a** who will walk away the second you stop getting your way. Personally, I'd answer with something like this:

"I worked at Company, Inc for 5 years, and for the first 4 I really enjoyed it. Company, Inc had a wonderful, positive work environment, I was able to be productive and also feel like my contributions were worthwhile. During my 5th year management changed because my previous manager, with whom I had an excellent working relationship, was placed in a position overseas. I soon experienced challenges and difficulties working under the new management, and although I attempted to address them multiple time both directly and through HR, my attempts were unsuccessful. Because I was unable to overcome the difficulties that were preventing me from working to the best of my ability at my job, I felt it was time to move on."

You can alter this by whatever means you prefer, but the point is to emphasize that you attempted to resolve the situation multiple times (which hopefully you did), and that leaving was a last resort. Be very careful not to come off as arrogant, and also not to insult your former manager. What you said in your question may be the absolute truth, but if I was interviewing you and you said it that way, I would think you were full of yourself and wouldn't like you at all. I would also wonder if you were sexist and had issues about working under a "woman boss," especially if the previous boss was male.

Job Interview Techniques - 3 Super Tips When Preparing For A Job Interview

• You should answer it honestly and if you are concerned about job security I would suggest trying to become a teacher because it would benefit you to become a teacher since it seems that you have skills that many people do not possess. Yes be honest but do not tell everything, by that I mean you can be honest but not to a point where it may cost you the job, so tell them all they need to know and not all of the details


• I like the suggestion that someone else above had - tie it into job security. Which is true because you were worried about your job due to your new boss. I don't know if I would outright state that you had a problem with the new boss because this is risky. Instead, state you were worried about about the job's stability and decided your goal was to find a stable job in a challenging work environment.
  
  Good luck!


• Be honest but don't elaborate. It's very important that you don't say anything bad about your former boss. In a way, this is a test.
  
  Say that the you and the new supervisor had personality conflicts and leave it at that.
  
  It happens and potential employers are aware of it.


• yes be honest

Job Interview Questions: What should I wear at Aeropostale for my job interview?

I have a job interview tomorrow and need ideas. Also, what kind of questions do they ask during the interview? Thanks!

Current Trends in Job Interviewing Techniques for Human Resource Management at Marriott

Recommended Answer:
Assuming you are interviewing for an entry level position, business casual dress is fine. If you're not sure what that means, google "business casual." I think a dress shirt, khakis and nice shoes would be fine. It might be appropriate to wear an aeropostale outfit, however they can be kinda casual so that's iffy for an interview in my opinion.

Questions will be about yourself, your experiences and attitudes, your goals, etc. Usually, the exact answer that you give is not as important as simply having an answer in the first place, and showing some level of thought process, self-reflection, and willingness to learn. That's not as scary as it sounds. Just keep in mind you don't want to answer interview questions with "I don't know" or with just a few words. Each question is an invitation for you to talk a little bit, give an example, tell a small story.

Common interview questions are things like:

Tell me about your previous work experience, or if you have no work experience, tell me about some times that you were part of a group. [Your answer should show some amount of experiences which would apply to the job you are interviewing for, or at least should demonstrate what you've enjoyed and learned from being at those jobs/groups.]

What is your greatest weakness, or challenge? [Having an answer to this is more important than what the answer is. Your answer should be honest and realistic. Don't try to make up some crap about being too perfect or caring too much. Show that you are able to look critically at yourself and work on things that you're not great at.]

What are you most proud of? [Again, be truthful, and you should have something to talk about. Doesn't really matter what it is, as long as it's realistic.]

Who is your role model / who do you admire? [Have an answer and a reason for it.]

What is your long term goal in life? [Truth -- you don't have to say your life's dream is to work at aeropostale]

Why do you want to work here? [Again, truth but it needs to be more than you want a discount lol]

What sets you apart from other applicants? [Tell them about your personal strengths - are you great at meeting people? Good at giving wardrobe advice? Do you have a lot of experience selling? etc - tell the truth!]

========

Don't fall for tricky questions! I used to ask things like:

How late do you have to be, to be considered late to work? (you should be at work 10 minutes before your start time -- walking in at the last minute is late!)

A customer's purchase comes to 64.87 and they pay with $80 cash. What is their change? (Ideally you can do this correctly in your head - but if not, ASK if you may use a pencil and paper! Any method of getting the correct answer is acceptable, but saying I don't know is NOT acceptable.)

You witness a co-worker stealing an inexpensive item from the stock room. What do you do? (You should always notify a supervisor, regardless of the circumstances. Stealing is never tolerated in any form. If the offender is your supervisor, you go to the next person above them.)======================Spend a little time thinking about answers to the really common interview questions. Don't memorize a script. But just think about it enough so that you're not saying "I dunno" to things they ask you. If you need a minute to think of an answer to a question, just say "That's a good question, I would need to think about that for a moment..." and think about it for a moment.

The goal is to answer questions truthfully and just let your personality speak out. That is usually all you need to have a good interview. Oh and wherever I've said "tell the truth" I'm assuming that the truth is not something that makes you look bad, lol -- it should always be appropriate for the work place, and not make you look lazy or antisocial. So keep that in the back of your mind - you should always stay pretty positive.Good luck!

Job Interviews - How to Ace a Telephone Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
Not so long ago, when you went to the local burger joint, it was teenagers working behind the counter, and at the burger grill. Now it is adults as old as their 70s, as many have lost their retirement savings. Currently, there are six individuals for every job. Adults trying to support themselves, as well as families, are taking any job they can, especially those that come with medical benefits. In deciding what to do, the teen has to think outside the box. They need to think beyond that of working in a store, or a burger joint. A teen needs to think about what tasks that need to be done, but people hate doing, even teenagers.
