Job Interview Questions: How important is appearance for a job interview?

For instance, what there is a problem with my complexion, as in my skin? Does it hurt my chances?

A Job Interview Guide for Starters



Recommended Answer:
You finally got a job interview in a company that you are very interested in working for and you want everything to be perfect.
Your clothes and the way you dress say a lot about you; people assume things about your personality from your outfit. Your look is window to your soul. When you come to a job interview your appearance is a part of your business card.
The color of clothing that you wear to a job interview should match the type of job that you are attending to. It should be the type of dress that is acceptable there
For example: if it is a tie place you have to wear a tie. If it is a jeans and t-shirt place you have to wear jeans. The magic is to look like you fit in perfectly.
A person that will come over dressed to a younger place will look old or too serious. Before you start thinking about what to wear find out what is the common dress code it the sector.
The way you dress should fit the interview and therefore you should wear different cloths for each job interview.

Job Interview Tips - What To Do Before And During The Interview


  • It can be a hindrance, but it you show them that you are a go-getter and that you know your stuff then it shouldn't be a problem. It also depends on the industry. For example if you work at a make-up counter then they want you to have flawless skin, but if you work at a fast food restaurant or a gas station, then it doesn't matter.

  • It depends. job interviewers tend to be very biased.

  • very

Job Interview Questions: Is a short job interview a good or bad sign?

My interview for a casual refreshment place was only 5-10 minutes. I think I answered the questions pretty well. Any personal experience on this? I've been receiving mixed answers :-/

How to Recover From a Bad Job Interview and Get the Job

If you are confident about your performance, when can you start?

Preparation is the Best Job Interview Tip


  • It all depends on how the interview went.

    I had an interview once that wasn't an interview: I found the manager and started talking with him, and forty five minutes later he'd hired me. I then proceeded to fill out the application.

    Although they try to generalize "the interview" so that people can be told what to do, each interview situation is entirely different.

    Go with your own reaction to the interview.

  • It doesn't mean either, really.

    There's only so much they'd need to know for such a job.

    Sometimes you will have a brief first interview as they sort out candidates, then there will be a a second more extensive interview for potentials.

    Don't make too much of it yet. I've had entire orientations that went nowhere and ten minute interviews where I started the next day.

    You could give it a few days, then call and try to talk to the person that makes that decision.

  • it never really matters whether u were in interview board for 5-10 min
    actually an interviewer can prolong his/her interview in two cases
    1. try to find the least domain the interviewee knows when he/she was unable to answer suitably.
    2. or to find the height of the interviewee's knowledge

    for ur case u answered pretty well so u does not belong to any of them....
    so don't worry and be confident.

  • depends what kind of position. if its an office job then short is not good.

    if its a more laid back, kinda position then its a great thing.

    whats a casual refreshment place?

  • Any interview in this recession is good!!

  • My interview for my current job was only 10 minutes. I got the job.

  • Bad Sign...

  • If you look good then it went great.

  • Good i guess

  • Was it long enough for you to take a seat?

  • if they said we'll call you back apply for a new job

Job Interview Questions: Will be 17 weeks pregnant and have a job interview?

I only have a small bump that I could hide, the reason I'm thinking of hiding the fact that I'm pregnant is because they are not allowed to discriminate against me because I'm pregnant so I shouldn't have to say anything. I really need to get a job and know that I have a great working history but I believe if they know I'm pregnant I will have no chance to get the job. What do you think I should do?

The Cafe, a Cup of Coffee and a Job Interview - A Dangerous Brew



Recommended Answer:
Everyone who tells you to hide your bump isn't thinking clearly. Look at this logically.

You are 17 weeks pregnant. Most companies have a 3 month probation period in which they can let you go for no reason. By the time that 3 month period is up you will already be 7 months pregnant and there is no way you can hide a pregnancy for that long. Even if you did, you'd be giving them notice about maternity leave in 2 months.

If I were your employer, I'd be very angry that you held the fact that you'd be leaving so soon after your probation period was up. It can only hurt your job. They may not be able to fire you, but they can make your job onerous enough to quit.

During the interview, tell them the truth.

5 Telecommuting Job Interview Tips


  • I would try and hide it (if you can). They cannot legally ask you about it but if they detect you could be pregnant and you don't say anything - this might hurt your chances of getting a job. So try to hide it well.

  • Try to hide it if you can. I know they can't discriminate, but we all know they will.
    If they offer you the job, tell them only after you have signed all of the paperwork and have gotten your schedule. Then they can't do anything!

  • i would no way tell them you wont get it trust me iv been there my self 2times love

Job Interview Questions: How long after a job interview do they let you know if you were selected?

The interview went fine but I wasn't wearing a suit so I don't expect to get the job. But they did ask me how much I want to be paid and when will I be available to start. But then they said they will need to interview other people before they make there decision. It's been 3 days..Do I still have a chance?

Top 10 Job Interview Strategies That Guarantee Success in Your Interviews


  • Usually, if they mention there are other candidates they need to interview, it's their nice way of telling you to piss off.
    Not always, but usually.
    Companies don't call applicants to tell them they were not hired. If you don't hear anything by the end of next week, consider it a wash.

  • I think average time is 15 days.

Job Interview: Are You Sending Red Flags And Eliminating Yourself?



Recommended Answer:
As to your xanax, take it as prescribed buy our physician. For a job interview do a dry run first to see how long it takes you and were you got to go. As to being nervous.......for a job interview....welcome to the human race....we all get nervous at a job interview. Rehearse in your mind what kind of questions they will ask you. Your skills that you have for the job, try to study and get information on your employer, what do they do, who are their customers. What makes your future employer special. HR always asks a hypothetical what would you do question. Usually with a disgruntled customer or a fellow employ that is angry to see if you have people and problem solving capability. Also a question on if this happened at work how will you handel it scenario. Why do you want to work for XYZ company or Business. Try deep controlled breaths and meditation before you go into your interview. A good nights rest is obvious........but yes it is normal to feel nervous for a job interview, and look at it this way....you can take pride in that you made it this far, that they see something in you they want......All the best and God bless you as you search for work.

I Have a Job Interview - What Should I Do?


  • Write answers for questions you think the owner will ask on que cards and put them on your lap during the interview and use the answers that you thought of when you where not so nervous.
