Job Interview Questions: What should I wear to my job interview?

I am a 15 year old female. Interviewing at a specialty grocery store called Dorothy Lane Market.. it is very high class and fancy. What should I wear? It is supposed to be 90 degrees out tomorrow where I live do I don't want to wear something too hot. Thank you.

Job Interview Success Checklist



Recommended Answer:
Always dress for success. Don't try to impress them with clothes your friends might think are fun. Best bet: Look to see what your potential co workers are wearing as they work, and try to mimic that as close as you can. Blouse & cackies? Black & button shirt? When in doubt: business suit / Sunday best.

Be One with the Market. The Force is strong with this one.

The Top 5 Tips to Mastering a Job Interview


  • Wear a short or long sleeve (nice) button down shirt with a skirt or dress pants. For shoes you can wear some closed toed black slip-ons. Just dress like you are going to church or a fancy event.

  • black slacks and a white button up shirt.
    it never fails.

    Prepare for a Great Job Interview With These Questions and Answers



    Recommended Answer:
    I would suggest that you go anyways. It's just good practice to interview for jobs. And, you never know...the job you were offered might fall through for some odd reason (although that is a long shot). Or, maybe in another year you decide you don't like the job that you accepted with the other company and would like to reinterview with this company.

    Just go for practice.

    Interview Questions - Discover the Secrets of Answering Any Job Interview Question Easily


    • If you have actually received an offer for the job and not just an interview with someone else then just call up and maturely cancel with them. Tell them that you would have liked to come in, but you were offered a position somewhere else. I would try to be as polite as possible, as to establish a relationship with them in case you ever need an interview again.

      On the other hand, I would go to the interview anyway. You might get there and realize that the people are much nicer, and the environment is much better suited for you. Then you could always turn down the offer if they decide to higher you.

    • I would still go, because what happens if you end up not liking the new job. You may end up with another offer to fall back on. If you do like your new job and the new place offers you a job you can then politely tell them thank you for the offer, but the timing just isn't meant to be as you were already offered a job.edit: Also remember that when you interview for a job you are also interviewing the employer to see if that is a place you would really want to work at. Maybe the place you interview at today will impress you more than the company that offered you a job. You may find that you prefer the company you interview with today.

    • Always notify the interviewer. Just tell the truth that you received and accepted an offer last evening and thank you very much for the opportunity to have talked to you, but you must cancel. They will certainly understand.

    • Ring them, and say I would like to cancel my interview as I have been offered a post I would like to take. Thank you for the opportunity.

    • i just put in an ap to work at mcdees hahaha

    Job Interview Questions: Should I call back after the job interview?

    I had a job interview at Del Taco 3 days ago. At the end of my interview, he said he would call back 1-2 days. I'm afraid I didn't get the job... But what keeps me wondering is, I though I really hit it off with the manager. What Should I do? Should I wait a little longer or should I call him today?

    2 Simple Steps to Crushing Your Competition During Your Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    NO. You should go back there in person. Restaurant managers hate taking phone calls -- they have to stop what they're doing and run across the restaurant, and they'll be automatically irritated with whoever is on the other end. I've seen managers decide not to hire someone just because they were "too lazy to show up in person." But they like it when someone shows the energy to follow up in person -- you look like you want the job, you look like a go-getter. Also, it's harder to say no to someone in person.

    Three days is the ideal time to let an application/ first interview bake. Hiring decisions don't take place immediately, but there are also a lot of other people trying for the same job. Managers have to remember 50 or 60 people, you only have to remember one. Going in person to follow up will help put you at the head of the line.

    Just stop in, try to talk to the same person and say you're just touching base to see how your application is coming. If the response you get is kind of meh, don't be discouraged. Go back three days later. Stay in their faces. Bugging them for a job will also score you points.

    Keep your options open. Keep applying in other places. Having a couple of applications pending will dilute that sort of desperate feeling you get when you need a job and lock on to one potential opportunity.

    And don't take it personally if you don't get it, just click "Next" and go on. There are a million reasons you might not have been picked, and not too many of them have to do with you personally! It could have just been the order your name fell in on a list, or something equally random.

    Job Interview "Tells" Some Employers Use Against You


    • These kinds of encounters are more about confidence than actual "know how." Bring notes if you have to, but just slow down, breathe, and present yourself in the best way possible. Stressing about it will just get you flustered. Remember that you're talking to another human being who has experienced nervousness too, but it doesn't mean you don't professional.

    Recommended Answer:
    Yes that is fine, however, it would be better to have other reasons as well relating to the company, or the type of work, etc.

    Job Interview Answers - 5 Of The Most Common Questions Demystified


    • A definite NO-NO. Never bring up salary or benefits until you are offered the job. If you give a number or range (even if they ask), you put yourself at a disadvantage or disqualify yourself. Jobs are hard to get; I would not risk it with that answer.

      A better answer would be, "I'm seeing a new challenge where I can use my skills and abilities..." (Then go on to list what they are).

      Good luck.

    • 100% NO

      With the economy the way it is, if you show up with anything less than "How can much work can I do, and how little can you pay me" style of thinking and attitude, you probably won't get it.

      As a business owner I can tell you we are getting 10 times more than usual resumes. Unfortunately for employees it is extremely competitive. A lot of people are willing to work twice as long for half as much. We even have people in professional fields willing to work for FREE just for experience in a non-internship position. While we don't stoop to that level, it is a real eye opener and I felt a sense of obligation to let people who are seeking jobs know what's going on behind the company doors.

      Attached is an EXCELLENT article regarding this situation that you MUST read. I think it will further clarify what is going on is this economy right now.
