The 7 Most Common Job Interview Questions


  • Questions to expect in the job interview.

    Tell me a little about yourself. This is always a tough one because you may be asking yourself “what do they want to know?” Focus on your skills, abilities and your interests. The interviewer wants to know about you and what your plans are for the present and the future. Remember to keep the answer brief because it can set the tone for the rest of the interview.

    Why do you want to work for us? Here's your chance to tell the interviewer why you chose to apply for the job. Don't say because of the pay. While it is good to be honest, that may be pushing it. This is your opportunity to talk about how this job will help you and mention your availability.

    What extracurricular activities do you participate in? This is your chance to talk about you—especially to show your personality. Your extracurricular activities are a reflection of you and your interests.

    Why should I hire you? Be honest. Let the interviewer know why you are the best for the job. This is your chance to “sell” yourself and set yourself apart from the other interviewees.

  • hey I'm 14 but work in the summer only got 10 hours a week anyway u have to sell yourself like come by your self so he knows that u are not a kid and he or she will ask you why do you want a job ? I want a job because I am getting bigger and want more responsibilitys and I am very hard working and I am very honest.How old are you ? what do u like to do ? When can u work ? do u have a ride to come here? my boss didn't ask me because he was going to get me a ride and just easy questions and don't worry it's in the bag LoL But Luckily I don't work at McDonald I work at a different spot where I sell ice cream and get money for golf and also He will ask u how good u are at mentel math ?all you need to do is walk in shake his hand and look him or her in the eye that means respect and listen and answer and when when u walk out do the same shake his hand and look hime or her in the eye and say good bye have a good or night Plz 10 points good luck oo yeah and plz pratice how to talk to the people who buy food very nice and if u mess up just sorry and try to talk with them and be outgoing bye good luck and 10 points thanks

Job Interview Questions: Job interview question I DO NOT understand?

Hi,
Last week I went for job interview. There was a guy interviewing me and I could not understand his accent (Italian I believe). The question would be - HOW MANY TIMES IT WOULD BE POLITE OR CORRECT TO ASK HIM TO REPEAT A QUESTION FOR ME ? I didn't get that job anyway but I want to be ready before I go to the next one...

The Ten Rules For a Great Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
i would explain that you are having a difficult time with his accent and if he could speak slowly and more distinctly, you would be better able to reply to his questions

Job Interviews Should Be As Easy As Trying on a Pair of Shoes


  • if u cannot understand his verbal communication, then he is a waste of ur time.

    communication (in any relationship) is of paramount importance.

    good luck :)

  • He should learn English. You wouldn't want to work there if they can't speak English and they probably wouldn't hire you if you could. Look for different jobs where people can speak English.

Job Interview Questions: Had job interview and they didn't ask for references?

I just had a job interview which I felt went really well except.. they did not ask me to provide any references. Does this mean forget it?

What Do You Do at a Job Interview?



Recommended Answer:
Did you fill out a usual employment form with all your info on it? If they didn't give you a form ( which would have included references) to fill out...I would say forget it.

Identifying Job Interview Tips is an Important Thing That Every Job Seeker Has to Do


  • Not necessarily - not everyone checks references. And they usually wait to check them until their selection is tentatively narrowed down to one person, so they still might call and ask for references.

Job Interview Questions: Preparation for a job interview group?

I have been invited to an interview group for retail staff at Middlesborough FC, what should I expect at the interview group?
Im 17 and have had job interviews before but not a group, I have never had a successful interview, how could a group differ from a normal interview?

Any other tips would be much appreciated :)

Thnks

Job Interview Skills



Recommended Answer:
You need something to stand out. You want them to think, "Hey, he/she is...."
But I've never been to a group interview.

If you don't get the job, I'd suggest taking a CPR class. It's always cool to have that on an application.
& have you ever done any volunteering? Try to volunteer at an animal shelter.

    Job Interview Questions: How do prepare for a job interview?

    I recently applied to work at a hip clothing store similar to Charlotte Ruse in the mall, and I heard back in two days that they wanted to do an interview. I've never held a job before, so I'm really nervous. My only previous work experience was doing research, so I'm a little clueless about what they might ask?

    What should i wear? What might they ask me and how should I respond?

    Any tips?

    Thanks so much for all your help in advance, thank you.

    How to Ace a Nursing Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    Wear clothes that they might carry, but nothing outrageous. Tone the 'trendy' down a notch.

    Show up early. Do not bring a boyfriend or anyone with you. Smile and make eye contact throughout the interview. You want to present yourself as positive, professional, reliable and quick to learn.

    They will probably ask you why you want to work there and if you have any scheduling conflicts outside of work.

    Do some research on the company. Have some questions of your own prepared, for instance, ask about the shift loads and scheduling.

    Good luck!

    Critical Mistakes To Avoid at Job Interview


    • This site has some questions that an interviewer may ask: www.careerbuilder.com and can click 'career advice' on the right-hand side of the page.

      The person interviewing you might ask 'why you would like to work at the establishment' (perhaps you enjoy fashion and providing superior customer service or something to that effect), what 'you believe are your strengths and weaknesses' (no one should talk negatively about themselves though), the basics about job availability and hours (those in retail usually prefer employees that can work evenings and weekends), why they 'should hire you over the other applicant' that they'd interviewed (always give 110% and very dedicated to whichever project in which you're working or such), whether or not your prefer working in a group or independently (they're hoping that you're able to work in both situations as a team player and with autonomy). They will most likely ask if you have any questions, and it's always great to have a few intelligent ones ready which shows that you're interested in the job and that you're not just sitting in the chair like a lump on a log, lol.

      Regarding attire for the interview, just to add to the other great post to Never wear sneakers or open-toe shoes, tank tops/bare midriff shirts, really short skirts, have one's arms covered at all times, avoid heavy perfume or fragrance and do not wear gaudy/ostentatious jewelry. This site has more information on what NOT to wear at a job interview: www.careerbuilder.com/Article/CB-…

      For general career information: www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'cashiers', 'retail salespersons', 'customer service representatives' or such.

    Smiling Your Way to Success in a Phone Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    Hi ,

    The first thing to remember about the interview is that your first impression is the most important thing. Most employers make their decision within the first 2 minutes of meeting you, so as long as you make a good impression right off the bat you don't have to worry too much about answering the right questions and wowing them with your experience. Focus on that first handshake, that is by far the most important part.

    Get That Job: Mastering Job Interviews


    • Think about what they are likely to want from someone in the job. For this type of role it might include
      -good interpersonal skills
      -team player
      -energetic and fit (can do physical work as well as be relied on to turn up)
      -great customer service - ie friendly and pleasantThen consider based on your experience where you have examples of these skills. A great guide for interview success is here
      ezinearticles.com/?Interview-Succ…

      The key is in the time spent in preparation. This means you can be confident and polished on the day

    • My cousin told me that she was interviewed for the same position at two different stores. One of the interviews, she said she was shyer and quiet. At the second one, she spontaneously said that she was outgoing and friendly. She got the job where she said she was outgoing and friendly. So maybe its worth a shot! :) hope I helped!

    Recommended Answer:
    The first impression you make on a potential employer is the most important one. The first judgment an interviewer makes is going to be based on how you look and what you are wearing. That's why it's always important to dress professionally for a job interview, even if the work environment is casual.

    What's the appropriate dress code for an interview? You'll want that first impression to be not just a good one, but, a great one. The candidate dressed in a suit and tie is going to make a much better impression than the candidate dressed in scruffy jeans and a t-shirt.

    How to Dress for an Interview:

    Men's Interview Attire

    * Suit (solid color - navy or dark grey)
    * Long sleeve shirt (white or coordinated with the suit)
    * Belt
    * Tie
    * Dark socks, conservative leather shoes
    * Little or no jewelry
    * Neat, professional hairstyle
    * Limit the aftershave
    * Neatly trimmed nails
    * Portfolio or briefcase

    Women's Interview Attire

    * Suit (navy, black or dark grey)
    * The suit skirt should be long enough so you can sit down comfortably
    * Coordinated blouse
    * Conservative shoes
    * Limited jewelry (no dangling earrings or arms full of bracelets)
    * No jewelry is better than cheap jewelry
    * Professional hairstyle
    * Neutral pantyhose
    * Light make-up and perfume
    * Neatly manicured clean nails
    * Portfolio or briefcase

    What Not to Bring to the Interview

    * Gum
    * Cell phone
    * Ipod
    * Coffee or soda
    * If you have lots of piercings, leave some of your rings at home (earrings only, is a good rule)
    * Cover tattoos

    Interview Attire Tips

    * Before you even think about going on an interview, make sure you have appropriate interview attire and everything fits correctly.
    * Get your clothes ready the night before, so you don't have to spend time getting them ready on the day of the interview.
    * If your clothes are dry clean only, take them to the cleaners after an interview, so they are ready for next time.
    * Polish your shoes.
    * Bring a breath mint and use it before you enter the building.
