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



Recommended Answer:
Yeah, you can't overdress for the first interview. There are lots of job searching sites that can help you with that kind of thing if you are not sure, though. This is what I've been told from job placement agencies and suit shops. Wearing dress pants shows that you are prepared and professional. It would be a bigger mistake to under dress than to over dress.

The Top 5 Tips to Mastering a Job Interview


  • Sounds nice, not overdressed at all.

    I recently read a tip that made a lot of sense: If unsure what to wear to an interview, show up at closing time and observe how people are dressed as they walk to their vehicles.

    In this case, I imagine most entry-level clerks, etc., are dressed very casually. However, it's an interview, so you want to look extra nice--as if you took time with your grooming and appearance. From a psychological standpoint, it always helps if the interviewer can "relate" to you. I imagine your interviewer will be dressed "business casual" as well. Good luck!

  • in most cases it's best to dress in a way close to what you would if working there
    and a shirt should always be tucked in

  • Always tuck in shirt, dress pants should be ok. Good luck for your interview.

  • Looking nice can never hurt :)
    but it's prolly not required it will just make you stand out.

  • I'd say a nice shirt, khakis and a belt

Telephone Job Interview Challenges - Preparation Is the Key!


  • Dress nice, do not wear blue jeans. Always dress nicely when going to a job interveiw, no matter what the jjob is, you want to be taken seriously.
    Also when you are called in, relax, breathe, everything will be alright, it will not be the end of the world if you do not get handed any papers on your way out.
    Try to keep your posture nice as well.
    Then the most important thing is, be yourself right from the start, since you cannot hide your true personality for long on the job.
    When they were interviewing me, I let my jokester side out. Since i knew I could not be happy in the job if i wasn't able to joke around.
    Good luck, hope you get the job :)

    EDIT: Also they do not ask hard questions, or at least the man who interviewed me didn't he just asked what I was interested in doing in the future, and if I could life 30lbs, stand for eight hours, etc

Job Interview Questions: When I go to a job interview, do they tell me if I have the job straight away?

Like when they interview me and it's over do they say "Okay you've got the job. Start Monday" or do they say they'll call in a few days. Or even say you haven't got the job? I'm just curious?

World's Best Job Interview Tips



Recommended Answer:
Normally not. They often interview many applicants, and will wait until they are sure that you (or someone else) is the best option before telling you if you get the job. If its not very competitive and they are convinced immediately that you would be a good employee, then yes it is possible. Don't be surprised if they say "we will be in touch" at the end of the interview.

Job Interview Tips for Second Interviews


  • In most cases no. They normally have many candidates to interview and will review all applicants after the interview process is over. There are some cases where they might tell you, but that would be in places where they are hiring multiple people (places like McDonalds etc..).

  • No they call u back again .

  • if they do, its a scam... watch out!

Job Interview Questions: I had a job interview and the interviewer kept laughin?

I don't know y he was laughin but he was laughing and taking calls and workin and tried to interview me at the same time what does this mean? Like he didn't seem too interested to interview me. I spoke properly and dressed buisness savy. As well and was early too. I don't even know if I even got the job. I'm well qualified.

Job Interviews - What Am I Doing Wrong?



Recommended Answer:
i dont know what to tell you. maybe who ever he was talking to made him laugh. im really surprised he was working and talking on the phone at the same time. it means is he was busy during interview. anything can happen. you might get that job.

Best Answers to the Trickiest Job Interview Questions


  • Not all the interviewers can do good interviews. Some interviewers act very unprofessional, get easily distracted and even nervous.

    While job seekers are searching for interview tips in Google, there are almost equal number of searches by interviewers to know how they can interview better. So, it is not surprising if you see some interviewers acting this way.

    If you attend a phone call during the interview and keep laughing throughout the interview, I am sure that the person who takes the interview might not want to hire you. If it is wrong to do as a candidate, then it is also wrong to this as an interviewer.

    Remember that an interview is a two way process.. You too are evaluating the company and trying to decide if the job is right for you.

  • Sounds like you could have a court case against this guy to me - totally unprofessional - see this blog post for what you can't ask in a job interview too to see if he went wrong on any of these

  • Are you a woman? If so thats probably why...Its rediculous I know. If your not a woman and your a man then who knows the guy just seems plain rude who would want to work for someone like that anyways?

Job Interview Questions: Tips for a group job interview?

I have a job interview at the movies in about a week, but it will be a group one. I have interviewed there before, but it was my first one and It was individual so I did poorly. Any and all tips or advice would be helpful!

Job Interview Success



Recommended Answer:
There are two fundamentally different types of group interviews. In the first, you are part of a group being interviewed. In the second, you as an individual face a panel. Make sure you know which you are heading into beforehand. If it is the former, make sure you exhibit positive group interactions -- the goal probably isn't (depending on the job) to be the first and loudest with the right answer. Often they want to see you be supportive of other people in the group, encouraging their input for example. If it is the second type, remain cool and make sure you make equal eye contact and interaction with everyone on the panel. Good luck!

    Job Interview Questions: What is it that I need for a job interview?

    I applied online for a job at a coffee shop, and they called me in for an interview. I've only been to an interview twice. My first interview was for a Tex-Mex restaurant which I dressed like I usually would yet I did get the job, and my second interview for a summer day camp I was required to dress up. I don't know how to go for an actual interview, and what is it that I need for a job interview.

    Please, what is it that I need for a job interview? and how should I dress?

    Thank you.

    Job Interview Rehearsal - The Benefits of Mock Interviews



    Recommended Answer:
    Professional clothes. Some places you can wear NICE jeans (dark, no holes/rips, no stains), NO t-shirts. Think about clothes you might wear on a date, or to a wedding? A nice button down shirt, usually dark pants, dress shoes. NO tennis shoes/sneakers!! Take any piercings out. Make sure your hair is neat...umm...always shake their hand(s), say thanks for their time and it was nice to meet them...as far as questions go, this is one I've always heard, "And why do you want to work at _______?" and "Name a situation where you had to _____." things like that. Just be yourself, be polite, speak with confidence, and make sure to seem enthusiastic about the job!! good luck! i hope you get it! (:

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

    tomorrow i am going to an outdoor job interview for a canopy tour company, i am trying for a position as a tour guide, which gives hikes through the area and zip lines, i was told to wear outdoor adventure attire, and to dress warmly. what does that mean?? like jeans and a tee shirt or what? i was also told that the area is really muddy right now because of the rain. what would you wear?

    5 Tips For a Successful Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    If someone invited you to go on a hike and told you it would be chilly and muddy, what would you wear?

    That's what you should wear!

    Water proof hiking boots; jeans with maybe thermals underneath (depending on how chilly); a Tshirt + long sleeved shirt + Jacket (layers). Preferably somekind of foldup rain suit in your pocket (shows them you're prepared); and probably a hat for warmth if needed. And probably sturdy gloves for the zip line work.

    If you show up dressed completely inappropriately for the weather it'll be obvious you don't know what your doing and after freezing all day with mud up to your butt you won't get the job.

    Job Interview Advice - Impress the Interviewer and Get the Job


    • Good boots and a warm type shirt flannel outdoors look think hunting or skying ?
      A jacket good for cold and rain camouflaged type may be good.
      Or bright orange.

    • Hiking boots, kaki pants and shirt and a pith helmet. I don't know, just sounds like the stereotypical outdoor tour guide to me :)

    Job Interview Questions: Help with a second job interview at jcpenney?

    I have a second job interview at JCpenney. What does a second job interview for JCpenney usually mean?

    What questions should I ask?

    What questions should I expect to be asked?

    Why Being Interviewed First Can Mean "Last" in a Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    overall, the second interview is more of a technicality...it usually just means the interviewer didn't have the authority to make the final decision so you will be meeting with a manager...occassionally it will mean they are debating between you and someone else, generally thats not the case though...its most likely just that they want to introduce you to those who make the final decision...in my second interview they just asked me about my availability and certain questions about whether or not i would be able to handle certain parts of the job...smile a lot and converse as much as you can...as a warning, my manager just sat there and stared at me and nodded occassionally, and then would wait like a minute and ask me another question just so see how id react...and apparently, what he was looking for was smiling and politeness...so just smile a lot, and just answer the questions the way you would in a conversation...my second interview didnt last long, they didnt ask much, like i said, it was more just a technicality, so look nice, and smile a lot...

      Job Interview Questions: What type of questions get asked in a job interview?

      I have never had a job interview before just because at the time, I focused on college work rather than looking for a job.

      Starbucks rang and asked me whether I was still interested in the job and told me I could come for an interview.

      I have never had an interview before and I have no idea what to expect and to make them really want me for the job. Have you any ideas on what they may ask?

      Many thanks

      Telephone Job Interview Challenges - Preparation Is the Key!



      Recommended Answer:
      There is no a definite time line. It can be tomorrow, it can be a week after. So do not worry the thing is they are working on your papers and I assume your interview went well. So good luck!

      It is Important For Every Job Seeker to Know About the Job Interview


      • This all depends on the company.
        Smaller companies will get back to you quicker, assuming they continue to pursue you as an applicant. But sometimes ( sadly ) some companies never get back to those who have applied. Not very professional, in my opinion, but I have seen that.
        Larger companies generally take longer to get back to you. Sometimes they hold a second round of interviews as they whittle down the potential candidates.

        Good luck with your job search - I know from experience that this can be a tough time in life !

      • Depends on the organisation which held the interview. They are very impersonal, adn sometimes they don't advise you at all. If it is a Govt job, then you will have someone calling on you willing to get the appointment letter for a consideration. Otherwise, you have to wait till your retire.
