5 Top Tips For Handling Telephone Job Interviews

Recommended Answer:
It's a perfect situation! First of all,they'll never have to drug test you,the State will do it for them! Secondly,if they need to reach you when you're not working,they'll know where you'll be! Hey,it might even count as community service! How could they NOT hire you? Who could write a better sermon on the pitfalls of getting caught? Usually,by the time a Pastor learns about how bad a thing getting caught is,they're removed from the pulpit anyway. You'd be the perfect guy to teach God's children the importance of covering one's tracks! It's a match made in Heaven!

Job Interview Questions: Job Interview at Blockbuster. Advice?

I recently got a job interview at Blockbuster this week and I really want and need this part time job to help pay for school. So I was wondering, what exactly is Blockbuster looking for in a potential employee because I want to win them over. Any advice or tips?

If a past/current blockbuster employee could reply that would be great.
Thanks :)

& FYI this isn't my first job.

Lethal Job Interview Mistakes

Recommended Answer:
I know you want answers from someone who's worked a Blockbuster, but I want to give you a few general tips.

Dress slightly nicer than Blockbuster's dress policy.

Always look the interviewer and other employees in the eye and be pleasant.

Offer to shake hands with the interviewer as soon as you meet them.

Make sure you tell them why you want to work at Blockbuster and that reason needs to benefit them in some way. It should not be all about you.

Tell them why you are the best candidate for the job. Hopefully it is because you are reliable, punctual, hard working, passionate about movies, dedicated to good customer service and to the success of the business.

Just remember that since they are looking for an employee, they obviously have a problem. You need to be the one who can solve that problem.

Good luck.

Job Search Strategies - Seven Kinds of Job Interviews

• I'd wear a clean, white button up shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbow, and some nice Black or Denim slacks (pants) You need everything to be clean and smell good! Don't over do it with cologne or anything, just a light spray on the neck and wrists are enough. But being clean, presentable and social is important in the interview. Be nice, no attitude no matter what, and stare into their eyes when they speak! Good luck!

Job Interviews - Preparing and Getting Yourself Ready

Recommended Answer:
I think the rule of thumb on dressing is to aim for 1 level dressier than the people interviewing you. If they typically wear jeans, you wear casual-wear. If they wear dress casual then you wear suit. If you don't know what they wear, you can't go too wrong with a suit. Don't wear anything "hot" or revealing - that may be a plus at the bar but it's not in the workplace. You want to look neat, clean, pressed and professional.

They will probably ask you why you're interested in this job, what kinds of things you're good at, what kinds of things you're bad at (i.e. your strengths and weaknesses). They'll ask about relevant skills and any previous work experience. And they'll probably ask some questions designed to see if they think you'll get along with other people there. They may ask you to describe previous experiences when you handled a particular kind of situation so they can understand how you behave in that situation. Eg. when you had a disagreement with someone, when you were faced with too much work, when someone tried to get you to do something you shouldnt, etc. Above all they're looking to see if you have the skills & temperament to do their job well and be a team player.

Be positive and straightforward and don't say negative things about other people, even those you dislike or disagree with. Emphasize how quickly you can learn new things and how interested in the job you are. Don't be afraid -- they hope you're "the one" just as much as you do.

Good luck!

• Here's a great tip that took me awhile to learn!
  At the end of almost every interview, they'll ask if you have any questions. ALWAYS have some prepared! It makes you look like you've done your homework and are very interested in the position.
  Some good ones are: (if not discussed earlier)
  What are the benefits like?
  What is the salary?
  Where did the person who had this job before go? (Did they quit? Move up the ladder? Is it an entirely new position?)
  Who would I be reporting to? (Tons of people, or just one?)
  What would be the initial challenges of the newly hired person?
  What brought you [the interviewer] to this company?
  
  Above all, be calm. You'll be just fine. Good luck!

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

Hello all,
My students often ask me what they should wear to a job interview. Being a little old fashion, I normally wear a suit or recommend to wear one. Working in IT when I interview an applicant, I will generally overlook what they are wearing unless it's really bad, but I will definitely give an applicant higher points if they dress up.

What are your thoughts? Thank you for taking the time.

whether you interview with mcdonald's for a cashier job, or for a swimming teacher, you should always look as professional as a CEO! i learned that in college, and it was one of the few things that i still remember. Your advice is not old fashion, it is exactly what employers (in any business/industry) expect. The more professional the applicants look, the more interested in the position and the company they appear.
This article offers very good advice on what to wear to interviews: https://sites.google.com/site/theresuman… (and I actually think it is very close to what you consider "old fashion" ). Also look over that website, maybe you can find some good advice to give your students regarding job search.

Hope this was useful. I apreciate your initiative to help your students, I find it laudable. Keep up the good work! :)

Job Interviews - Interrogation Or Discussion? We Know Which We Prefer

• Dress as if you were the head of the department, supervising those who have the job you're applying for.
  
  Depending on the job, that might mean khakis and a polo shirt--or a three piece suit.
  
  When I worked at Avis, we interviewed lots of guys for the car prep--vacuuming, washing, gassing, and moving the rental cars. It was hot, sweaty work at times, and the guys got dirty. But those who dressed like they were ready to get dirty had it count heavily against them, while those who wore a tie like our boss earned more respect. They were most often the ones we hired.
  
  For girls and women, you might stress that looking sexy, attractive, cute, and all that is not desirable for the interview and probably not for the workplace as well. Looking competent, professional, and pleasant rather than hot is likely to get you serious consideration. (At Avis we didn't consider anybody who tried to look hot.)


• I think it depends on where they are applying. Dress standards vary so much. Appropriate clothing would be different at, say; IBM and at Microsoft. Here's what I advise; go to the workplace before you interview there. Ask for just a brief visit. An applicant should do all the homework they can about the place they are applying. Notice what you can about the work environment, what is valued? what is frowned on? Then when it comes time for the interview, dress "one click up" from what most of the employees were wearing. An applicant should look like they fit in, but also like they are making an effort.
  But I agree with you that conservative dress is always the better option. Again, it looks like you've made some effort.


• I heard that it always depends on the job you are being interviewed for. If you are applying for a job as busboy at a restaurant it is okay just to wear a clean pair of khakis and a white button up shirt. If it was for a job as lets say, a manager for that restaurant you would also want to wear a tie with your button up shirt and maybe think about upgrading to a pair of black or grey slacks. If it is for a higher end business setting a suit is always appropriate. For a female all of this also applies. Except you would also have the options of wear skirts which should never be more than an inch above your knees. Hope this helps!!


• what would you do if you were a serious business man/woman? thats all you need to ask yourself. just try and dress professional and show confidence. you should be good to go after that and if they cant accept that then forget those guys and apply somewhere else then because i hate when these people lead on you. its a bunch of bullcrap anyway

Job Interview Questions: Is filling out a W-9 required for reimbursement of travel expenses for a job interview ?

I went for a job interview and to get reimbursed for my expenses The company I interviewed for required I fill out a W-9 to get my expense reimbursed. Is that a requirement of the IRS?

How To Make Job Interviews Easy

Recommended Answer:
Give them the w-9.

Keep in mind that they may well send you a 1099-Misc for the money at the end of the year. They don't have to treat this like an accountable plan.

If they do bill you, it's income. Your job interview expenses could be deducted on schedule A, but I doubt you itemize.

Which of These Job Interview Problems Would You Like to End?

• I have been reimbursed (by several different companies) for interview travel expenses without completing a W-9. If it is a requirement, it must be new, because I do not think that those companies were all breaking the law.


• if it was more than $600 then yes.
