Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview? i need some advice?

I have a job interview at a nursing home as a CNA, it is my first job. does anyone know what kind of questions they will ask or what they might expect. i am very nervous. someone please help.

Preparation is the Best Job Interview Tip

Recommended Answer:
The fact that the Nursing Home has selected you for an Interview is proof that they consider you a good prospect for employment.
Find out as much as you can about the Nursing Home
The name the Matron
The category of patient they have.
What a Nursing Assistants duties might be
How many patients they have
and whether any of them have any mobility issues

If they ask you to define your "role" (as you see it) then you are:

"Maintaining an environment conducive to professional care, welfare and quality of life for the patients."

If they ask you where you see yourself in say 5 years time

"By then I hope to have some qualifications and perhaps graduate to a more professional role within the Nursing Home.

The Interviewer might say -
Whilst carrying out your normal duties you observe that one of the patients is acting a little odd and completely out of character - What would you do?

"I would report the incident to my Supervisor and also make a brief written report which I would submit to either the Matron or my Supervisor depending on being sure that I am following the Rules on Reporting Procedures".

Be professional and smartly dressed and be sure to provide open rather than closed answers, in other words try not to answer a question with a "Yes or a "no" try to give a little information.
I am sure you will do fine.
Good luck on the day.

Job Interviews - Six Blunders to Avoid

• You will be asked about your training and experience. You may be asked some "what would you do if....?" questions. Just take your time, take a deep breath, and then answer each question one at a time. Remember, the interviewer wants to like you. He/ She wants to hire you because they were smart enough to ask you in for an interview. The interviewer wants to be proven right for asking you to come for the interview by offering you the job.


• Be professional, this includes dressing appropriately and speaking eloquently. Be calm, if you're nervous, it will show through and in a field like Nursing - there's no room for nerves (unless you count the neurological system, LOL). Be confident, if you're confident in yourself, your air of confidence will show through, and you'll impress the interviewer with your cool aura. Above all else, as cheesy as it sounds, be yourself. Good luck!


• just show some cleavage

Top 10 Job Interview Disasters

Recommended Answer:
Yes, you don't have to wait in line like you were a customer, just go to the side of the register area and when there is a lull in business, ask an employee to inform the manager that you are there for an interview.
--------------
Clothes: No jeans, no tennis shoes/sneakers. Slacks. Nice shoes (just not sneakers - they don't have to brand new or anything like that). Button-down shirt or a nice sweater. No t-shirts or polo shirts.
--------------
Questions: "Why do you want to work for us?"
"What do you feel are your strengths?"
"What do you feel are your weaknesses?" (always a tough one to answer)

Self-Speaking Lies About Job Interviews

Recommended Answer:
Yes.

(a) You always want to dress up -- meaning that you want to be more conservative, traditional, and formal than the standard dress of the worker already working at the company. You are much more likely to offend an interviewer by being too causal (which is a sign of disrespect) than too formal.

(b) Some professions business management, finance, & accounting are conservative by nature. A suit is always the rule. Other professions design, marketing, fashion, & the arts are less so. However, you should always do advance scouting to see how employees and managers dress at the company before dressing to your personal standard of "best" rather than the business standard.

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

Five Tips on How to Prepare for a Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
I think you don't need to be dressed-up because it's kind of like a casual job, if you dress up too much, they might think you're over dressed for this one interview. I personally think you shouldn't go over the top. You should try wearing smart shoes, with smart trousers and a T-shirt.

Simple.

How to Prepare for Your Sales Job Interview

• This really depends on the specific job your interviewing for.
  
  If it is a kitchen/laundry/lawn care position - a nice pair of jeans and a collared shirt, nice shoes (never wear dirty old sneakers).
  
  If it is a job that puts you in front of potential clients or family members than the suit would be appropriate. Wear a short sleeved shirt, don't put the jacket on until you get out of the car, a tie or not, I would recommend a tie. Dress to impress.
  
  The interview is your opportunity to show this person(s) that you are the one for the job. You take it seriously. This may prove to be a long term job, with room for future advancement. Make your first impression count and be lasting.
  
  Good luck, remember to breathe, try to relax as much as possible. Be yourself (but not too relaxed), be as honest as you can.


• Hello, I'm fourteen as well but I have an excellent taste in clothes, here are some of my suggestions:
  
  1. If you want to look creative but should be taken seriously, I would wear a burgundy dress shirt, plain black sports coat and leave it open.
  
  2. If you want to look like a kiss-***, wear a sued front-shirt with a sky blue dress shirt and possibly some beige khakis.
  
  3. You could just be yourself, but try not to look very raggedy, that just shows lack of effort.


• A clown suit.
  
  No, but seriously, dress for the job you want. Business casual (slacks, collared shirt, matching shoes + belt) would work fine, but a suit may show a lot of drive and determination - especially on a 14 year old. Just make sure the suit fits well - you don't want it to be wearing you.


• A business suit is ideal for most interview, and it shows you are serious. A dress shirt and tie [if you are male] or some other form of dressy attire is as appropriate, but you should definitely be dressed up.


• clothes of course. you might want to wear normal attire, you hethens now and days dont know how to dress properly, go with normal clothes. At the Interview you should definately not use the word "old".


• Always overdress to the style of the people who work there. You generally cannot be too overdressed for your interview, ie. too formal. However, try to match what the people who work there would wear in general.


• I would keep it professional yet casual, Try a trendy pair of denim jeans with a long button up dress shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to your elbows, and tucked in your pants of course.


• wear slacks a nice shirt not to fancy just enought to give an impression and nice shoes.

Job Interview Questions: What Are Some Common Job Interview Questions And Answers?

Hi all, I have an interview coming up next week and wanted to know what kind of job interview questions and answers I can expect? Thanks!

Career Change Job Search: Job Interview Tips!

Recommended Answer:
Hi John,

Here's one that you might get and a good answer you could try out ...

Question: Give me an example of a problem you faced on the job, and tell me how you solved it.

Answer: "Sure, at my last job we had a problem where the situation was "X" ... the action I took was "Y" ... and the positive outcome was "Z" ... I was commended by Susan in Accounting for solving the problem and getting the project back on track. I think that's the type of experience you are looking to bring to your team ... isn't it?

Discussion: This is a problem solving question that tests your critical thinking skills. This is a great question for showing that you are a creative and capable problem solver.

The problem you select to use as an example should be as similar as possible to a problem that you are likely to face at the job you are interviewing for.

1) LISTEN for their "pain points,"
2) Give an example of your experience where you solved something similar, then
3) Get them to agree with you that such experience would be beneficial to the company.

Here's one more ...

What have you learned from your mistakes?

"Good question. Well, I've been successful at every job I've had, but I have had the normal ups and downs. I'd say that I do actively try to monitor my work habits and the quality of my work so that I can constantly be improving myself.

FOR EXAMPLE, I have had one or two hiccups with customers where their satisfaction was not where I thought it was. I learned that I have to really monitor certain difficult customers closely and "take their temperature" so I can keep their satisfaction level as high as possible. Have YOU had any customers like that here?"

Discussion: Show that you are able to learn from your mistakes, but don't offer up any negative examples concerning your past performance. Show that you have been successful, but that you have the maturity it takes to examine your own behavior so that you can learn and grow and be a better employee. Be brief.

These are just a few that I found at a very helpful website, don't worry, I've left a link in the resource box below, good luck on your interview!

Job Interview Basics: Reduce Stress Build Confidence!

• Do you have proof of I.D? So take as much as you think is necessary such as Driving Licence passport, birth certificate, National Insurance card. medical cards and take a couple of utility Bills or bank statement they check your name to the address. its to make sure you are who you are and that you are a legal Citizen. Take a copy of your C.V if you have one (check your spelling). Take training certificates NVQ ETC... Prepare a few questions you would like to ask them. Don't be afraid to ask about pay if you don't already know. Don't fold your arms its like putting up a barrier. If you haven't already told them of references of a couple of people make sure you know of at least 2 with their name and address and a phone number.Its all about preparation. Be confident. You are aloud to smile. they might ask you about yourself tell them you are adaptable and capable and you learn quickly. Ask you mates what your best qualities are and pick out the once that can be used. Oh if your Job requires a C.R.B make sure you answered the question about criminal record truthfully, because if you lied just a little you will be caught out. I hope all of this is useful good luck. I know what its like im job hunting too. fingers crossed.


• Hello,
  
  Here are three common interview questions:
  1. Tell me about yourself.
  2. Why do you want to work here?
  3. Why should I hire you?
  
  This article should help you :-)


• It's very popular now for employers to ask you a very open question like "Run me through your career to date"
  So know your own history and reasoning.
  
  Also, the classic "What motivates you"
  and "Why are you searching for alternative employment"
  as well as "So what do you know about the role you have applied for?"


• Why did you leave you last company?
  Do you mind working odd hours, holidays, or weekends?
