Job Interview Questions: Is this a good answer for my weaknesses in a job interview?

I'm a slow worker. Even though I am a slower learner, I gain momentum as I keep on doing a task. For example, if I'm helping my mom cut the vegetables, I start off slow but once i get a sense of how to cut the onions and tomatoes, I speed up. The key is obvious for me to practice.

What do you think? Thanks.

How to Answer Job Interview Questions - How to Impress Your Potential Employer



Recommended Answer:
Well, i would recommend that you provide another positive weakness. When they say weakness they want you to really turn it into a positive. I have always mentioned that my biggest weakness is my willingness and motivation to devote alot of my time to work and that I care too much. Get the idea... just create something that is a positive weakness :)

What to Do Before, During and After a Job Interview


  • No, thats not a good answer!
    Why do you think you are a slow worker? Analyse that first and work towards your weakness. If actually you are slow, even if you bag yourself a job, you will not grow internally.
    If you have any inherited problems i.e. physical etc, stick to your present job and practise that untill your stop being slow in that.
    All the best.

  • I think that if you tell an employer that you are a slow worker and a slow learner that you'll never get a job. I think that's obvious.

Job Interview Questions: Any tips for a job interview?

i'm going to my first job interview today and am kind of nervous. If you have any tips on what to do that would be great :)

Preparing For the Perfect Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Don't be too nervous, but if you do have some butterflies, it is natural and you can use them to your advantage

First, realize that you are going in to talk to another human being. You're not going to try to learn how to talk to an animal or try to squeeze any emotion out of a robot

Second, know that you are interviewing them just as much as they are interviewing you. You are actually more in charge than they are. It is your choice to interview with them and your decision to accept the job when they offer it to you

Third, be yourself. Don't try to over-extend your experience or make promises you can't keep. Be sure to let them know of any related experience, even if that includes any classes or other training. Good grades or special projects you've earned or participated in can give a potential employer insight to your values and can show them that you have the intelligence to learn anything the job might require.

Be confident. Smile. Give a male interviewer a firm handshake and a female interviewer a less-firm handshake. Ensure your resume is perfect and pristine. Take something to write with and write on and take notes. Ask questions and be sure to thank everyone in the room and, if it hasn't been divulged to you, what the next steps are.

Good luck!

Telephone Job Interviews - What You Should Know


  • If the company has a website read through every page and familiarize yourself with their mission and the services/products they offer. Bring up something you learned from the website during the interview, so the interviewer will know you did your homework.

    For example: "I noticed on your website that you offer an employee advancement program. Could you tell me more about that." Pick something that interests you, and ask a question about it,

  • Know why you want the job and be prepared to tell them that, Know your positives and your negatives, Dress nice, be excited about it, be yourself and I'm sure you'll do fine! Good luck!

  • When you're talking, be sure to look the interviewer in the eye, that way they'll know you're honest. (If you get freaked out by that, try looking in between their eyes. They won't know the difference.)

  • Be confident Clear and concise, Dress sharp and speak well. let them know they need you to help they're business grow.

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

I am going to an interview to be a busboy at a pretty fancy restaurant. The waiters wear black dress pants, black dress shoes, black vest, black tie and a white dress shirt. I guess they hire young kids as busboys because I know of a few that work there and they are all 14 or 15. I am 14, guy.

Job Interview Questions: A job interview question that i need help with?

OK! Im going to a job interview on Sunday as a cashier/phone order taker, now, i dont have experience here but I would like some help with the following questions:
-A customer calls for a delivery and ends up calling back because the food is running late, what would be a good response?
and lastly..
-A customer has a complaint about the food or service, what should i say?

Thanks a lot for your help!!

The Top Ten Mistakes Made in Job Interviews and How to Avoid Them



Recommended Answer:
When dealing with an unhappy customer in either of those situations the steps would be basically the same:
- Apologize to the customer
- Let them know they are important and that you are taking their concern seriously
- Identify what/where the problem is - if the problem is serious or has to do with another employee's behavior, it is wise to refer it to a manager rather than get tangled in an investigation.
- Offer a solution in line with company policy - sometimes the best you can do is offer to have the manager call back if the customer is still unhappy. Don't give away free product or make promises without permission
- Thank the customer

So for the late delivery you might say something like:
"Mrs. Smith, I am very sorry that your delivery is running late. Your order is important to us and I will do everything I can to fix this for you. Please hold for a minute while I get in touch with the driver. -- Ok, Mrs. Smith, the driver got stuck in traffic but he is on his way now. For your inconvenience I can offer you (whatever company policy allows... a discount, a free drink, whatever). Again, I'm sorry there was a delay. Thank you for doing business with us! Is there anything else I can do for you?"

    Job Interview Questions: About the drug test for my job interview?

    So at my job interview before yesterday, they paid for my drug test. The manager told me he wants to hire me. However he said that he's going on vacation next week.

    He also said there's going to be a second interview. This job is for payless shoe store. This store is not expensive. Why does it take this long?
    It never took this long for other retail stores I applied in the past, and they were more expensive.

    Preparing to Answer Job Interview Questions



    Recommended Answer:
    The time frame of getting hired depends on the manager that is doing the hiring. It does not matter how expensive the store is but what matters in this case is that the manager is going on vacation. He is probably going to be the one to train you so what sense would it make for you to start without being trained? Be patient and it might work out for you, be impatient and it could backfire.

      Job Interview Questions: What do I wear for a job interview tomorrow?

      I have a job interview at a major company. They told me to wear business casual. I'm an 19 year old girl. I understand what business casual is but I still have no clue what to wear. The interview is tomorrow and it's really important for me. I have been bartending and waitressing for so long it's hard for me to do the business casual dress without second guessing every choice.
