Job Interview Questions: Help! job interview tomorrow, cant print out resume?

but i just moved here and i am in a hotel, which means no printer..
i have one already, its just saved to my computer, i also dont have any memory sticks with me
would hand writing it be too unprofessional?
should i explain the situation to my interviewer and ask if i could email it?

What to Do When Your Job Interviewer is Distracted - And You Want This Job



Recommended Answer:

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


  • Is there internet available at your hotel? E-mail it to yourself, then look up any internet cafe's that might be in town. If you are in a fairly urban area, you should easily find one. (I visited Sydney last year, and there was an internet cafe even in the grocery store Woolworth's!). At the most it should cost you a couple dollars to log-on and do a print job, depending on if it's in color or black/white.

  • Basically what your asking is "Is it OK to arrive for an interview unprepared"? What do you think that will say about your expected job performance? In the US there are many internet cafes and office supply stores such as Kinkos that charge a nominal amount to print pages. They even have memory sticks for sale on the premises. I'd suggest you find one if you want the job.

Job Interview Questions: Job interview for a desk clerk at a army lodging..?

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I'm in need of a job I finally got an interview I feel very confident. I'm really new to this though should I tell them about the pregnancy at the interview or after I get hired (assuming I will) Thanks in advance. Also how would I go about telling them?

8 Tips For Doing Well on Your Big Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
If you are in the US, employers can not discriminate against pregnant women when hiring. However, that does not mean that it doesn't happen (it happens all the time) and they just claim you weren't hired for other reasons. It is really up to you on whether to tell them or not, and on how much you need the job. Also, if they require you to do a drug test, it will show up in that.

You are not under any legal obligation to say that you are pregnant until 30 days prior to delivery (if you plan to use FML). If it were me, I would wait until after I was hired; if they then have any issues, you have a better case for a discrimination case if you needed to do that ...

As to how to tell them - if you waited, you could announce at 25 weeks. If they ask why you withheld, you can say that you have had previous miscarriages and you wanted to wait until the period when your baby could survive outside the womb in case anything happened. Or you could say nothing, you do not have to justify your decision in the US.

    Job Interview Questions: How to escape questions about religion in job interview?

    I don't want to talk about religion at work and school and don't want people judge me by my religion. I'm Christian but prefer not to talk about religion. It's too personal. I'll have an interview, if they asked me about my belief what is a good answer to bypass the question without sounding rude?

    Job Interview Tips - Best Interview Questions



    Recommended Answer:
    If you are in the U.S., they cannot legally ask you anything about religion in an interview. Nor can they ask about children, marriage, health, etc. If they do ask, say, "How is this relevant to the job being offered?"

    Job Interview Weaknesses - How to Overcome These Common Job Interview Weaknesses


    • The first answer is correct. If you live in the US, it is illegal to ask a person about their religion in the interview. So basically if this happens, they're the ones who have problems, not you.

      But realistically, even if you don't live in the US, I can't see how ones religious views would come into play in the vast majority of job interviews. It would certainly be the rare interview where it would even be relevant enough to be brought up, so I doubt you need to worry much. Even if it would, I think you could just say politely "I don't prefer to discuss religion in the workplace". I don't think that would sound rude at all :-)

    • If you live in the US, it's not legal for interviewers to talk about religion. If you live somewhere where it's legal to discuss religion in interviews, why not just say, "My beliefs are very personal and I prefer not to discuss them" or something like that?

    • NO one is allowed to ask questions re your religion, it is illegal and if they ask that, leave and look for another job. And at school or anywhere else just say sorry, that's my personal business and no one else's.

    • Likewise in Australia it is not a legal question. However, if they ask you could just explain that you do not allow your religious beliefs to interfere with your work. Throw a question back and ask if the religion will impact on the job.

    • You are a practical atheist. Don't be afraid of these "questions". Study, reflect and learn to defend your beliefs.

    • They can't ask you questions about religion in the US. Illegal to do that.

          • i think that you should wear something trendy yet sophisticated.....
            waistcoats are really in fashion these days, and they look real smart.
            wear a pencil skirt with a basic white shirt. team it up with a waistcoat that is black in color.
            if u want something different, then you could try wearing a LBD (little black dress) which goes knee length and preferably little or no design coz u wanna make a bold impression, dont u?

          • i think theese look nicer than black trousers

          Job Interview Questions: What do I do, this job interview is driving me nuts?

          Ok, had a job interview on Nov. 12. The guy said he'd within one to two days. I called him the Sunday afterward and he said he was still interviewing. Then I went in to get a smoothie two days later and he said he was still interviewing and he would let me know. Then I called him on Friday morning and again...same thing. Now it's been over a week and a half and it's starting to drive me insane.

          Do I call him, go in, or what?

          Questions To Ask In A Job Interview - 5 Simple Questions To Make Yourself Shine



          Recommended Answer:
          My suggestion is to observe if there are still any "Employment Opportunities" or "Now Hiring" signs on the building's store front to see if he is trying attract employment candidates. I would contact him no more than 1-2 times weekly. It shows that you have genuine interest in the position, you have his company on your mind but you are not calling enough to be a pest. Sometimes, employers use that line just to politely decline your application. I hope that is not the case here. Best of luck to you in your employment search :-)

          Job Interview Basics: Reduce Stress Build Confidence!


          • Drop by again, and ask. Don't ask an open ended question, but be specific - when do you expect to make a decision? Do you want to schedule a second interview with me? Is there any additional information I can provide to help you make a decision?

            But to be honest, if you were really his top choice for the position, he wouldn't still be interviewing, and you would be working by now.

          • you should never call back on a job interview, you should know that if your calling back again and again your looking desperate and this isnt what they want.

            i guess you just didnt get the job, try other places

          2 Simple Steps to Crushing Your Competition During Your Job Interview



          Recommended Answer:
          Entirely depends on what the job is. As you are aware, a suit would be a bit much for the job you're going for. If you overdress, then hiring managers sometimes wonder whether you have any idea what kind of work you are asking for.

          Think "Sunday best" but don't get all dressed up for a wedding. No cleavage. No toes showing from shoes. Flats or low heels are better than high heels. Clothes properly cleaned and pressed. Avoid overly trendy things (like maxi dresses or drapey cardigans). Stick with simple pants and blouses that look classic and timeless. Keep the jewelry to about 5 pieces (the general rule allows for two earrings, one necklace, one ring--counting wedding rings as one, and one bracelet or watch) or less and make sure it's tasteful and not loud.

          If you already know dress code for the work place, dress as close as you can to those requirements. You can call and ask if you're not sure. For example, if the workplace requires black pants and black shoes as part of the uniform, you should wear black pants and black shoes to the interview. The hiring manager will immediately start to see you as fitting right in.

          No Time To Prepare For The Job Interview?


          • Slacks and a nice top ... no jeans, no t-shirts. Clean hair and hands. BE ON TIME. Good Luck.

          • Black dress pants would probably be the best but you could probably wear jeans if you wanted. That and some sort of top, not a t-shirt/hoodie sort of thing.

            Good luck btw

          • i say wear semi formal clothes, but dont go all out lol. like dont show too much skin. Also make sure your hair is clean and make sure your body language is good because everyone looks at body language. you can probably get the job. good luck =)

          Job Interview Questions: What's the weirdest question you've been asked on a job interview?

          I've applied to some jobs and being that I'm only 15, if I do get a job interview, it would be my first one. I've heard that some employers ask really weird questions to see how you would do under pressure. I know I wouldn't do well at all, so I just want to see what kind of things are asked and how you all answer.

          After the Job Interview - Stay Consistent With Your Personal Brand


          • "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?" (said in a very smug, I'm too good for you tone). My response was "Are you seriously asking me this question?" and then telling the interviewer that I didn't think I'd be the right fit for the corporate philosophy if these were the questions that they used in the interviews. I then took my time to write this in a letter as well to the corporate HR department. We wrote back and forth a few times, I met him for lunch one day when I was in that city on another job interview. I guess I impressed him because shockingly, I was offered a job by corporate to be a manager over the inept interviewer.

          • Can you Tap dance ?
            I said i didnt know but would give it a go....
            Gave it a go, looked a bit silly, broke the ice and carried on with interview.
            Would like to say i got the job but afraid this isnt a fairy tale and they gave it to some other bugger.... oh well its a good story for when iam in the pub!!
            My advice... confidence and preperation on company background will take you far, also if you dont know the answer to a question dont blag it say you dont know and could you re-phrase the question please?

            Good luck

          • Hah! One time I remember I was asked "What's up with your costume?" I said, "It's not a costume, I've worn this all my life!"

          • If you could be any cartoon character, what would you be? I totally screwed up on that one. Say you would like to be bugs bunny... very sophisticated, always gets himself out of a predicament, and a clever rabbit.

          • What kind of job is this? [a question to you, I'm 15 as well and I would like to have a job that isn't McDonald or Publix or anything similar]

          • "So tell me about yourself..."
            I went " errr....uhmmm...ah.."
            Needless to say dimwit didn't get the job, but I definitely started to learn more about myself after that.
