Job Interview Questions: Would this question be inappropriate at a job interview?

I am interviewing for a support level position with a small investment management company. On their website, they have bios of all the higher-up people, but they do not have anything on their support staff. Some of their competitors include all the principals and their support staff. This shows me that their support staff means a lot to the company as well. I would like to ask this company why they decided not to include their support staff on their website. Should this question be avoided?

Critical Mistakes To Avoid at Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
I would not ask it. If you're subsequently hired and demonstrate your value as an employee, that would then be the time to "suggest" it.

Techniques To Avoid Job Interview Stress


  • If this is very important to you, then yes ask it but in a nice way. Something along the lines of " I noticed you don't have all your staff on your website, is it still under construction"

    If it isn't that big of a deal "I don't think it is" And you really need a job, then forget about it. Ask it when you are hired.

  • No.

    It's not your place to ask. There might be a reason why they've not included it on their website.

    If it's something eating at you, the best way to ask is: "How does your company view the role of their support staff?"

    If you nag about what's on their website or not, they might just write you off as a troublemaker.

    Good luck.

  • perhaps they don't want their employees raided by competitors........

    if you want the job and all the other signals are right.....wait until you are on board.......

    this question could knock you out of the running for the position as they may perceive you as a militant trouble maker, not a team player.........

    actually I like the question and won't be threatened by it....however keep in mind the person hiring you is judged by the type of people they hire.

  • If you really want the job then yes it is inappropriate. If they think little enough of their support staff to include them, they'll not want to employ someone onto that staff who is clearly outspoken. It's very sad and wrong but that's the way it is at some places sadly.

  • I would suggest not asking that kinda question unless you are sure you have the job. If you have to ask the question I suggest posing it as un-hostile as possible. Like:

    "Hey I noticed you website and was wondering if there was any reason you don't have your support staff on there?"

  • It is a fair enough question, but dependent on the characteristics on the interviewer would be dependent on what the response would be, positive or negative. For that reason, I wouldn't ask it until after you have got the job!

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!

Job Interview Questions: Do you always have to wear a suit to a professional job interview?

i have a few job interviews this week, and i was wondering if it is always necessary to dress in a suit. i have a few, but i feel that i look nicer in a cardigan/sweater with a nice undershirt. i really would be happy if i got either one of these jobs and want to look my best. just wondering other peoples thoughts?

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: How should you act on a job interview?

I have a job interview tomorrow.

Should I be happy, smile, be positive and put a good spin on everything I say? Or does that seem fake?

Should I be serious and take everything literally and not be too bubbly?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated :)

Job Interview Anxiety



Recommended Answer:
Of course you should be yourself, but for sure be positive and smiling! No one likes someone who's always down.. Also, if you have previous work experiences listed on your CV, you could/should prepare talk about them too. Like why you left them or so.. Just one time when I went to job interview I had to talk about ALL my last job experiences, though they weren't related at all with the new one..
And for my first job ever, shoe shop assistant, I got there because the lady said I was really optimistic and smiling, fitting to this job:)
So do your best and I wish you good luck~
Actually good luck to both of us as I'm having a job interview too for my part-time job. Hope that both of us will be accepted!! ;)

Job Interview Skills: How to Manage a Bad Interview!


  • I know this is worked to death, and cliched, but be yourself. That's what's important. Employers want to know what kind of person they're hiring. But, one thing you do have to do, be professional, and courteous. If you're not professional, the employer is going to think you're not serious, and in this economy, there's fifteen other people lined up right behind you. And, if you're not courteous, they're going to think the same thing: you're not here for a job, you're here to be friends. Employers have enough friends, and we'll just go in assuming they don't need, or want, anymore.
    Also, exude quiet confidence. If you go in there thinking you're not going to get the job, you're not going to get it.

  • Be your self and be confident . Also prepare well on the subject matter .

Job Interview Questions: What should I say during a job interview?

I have a job interview with starbucks this afternoon, I have worked for them before:

If they ask what did I like: I liked making seasonal drinks- like summer fun so it can get my creative juices flowing..

My favorite drink was the Caramel Machiatto b/c it was the most colorful. or does that sound stupid?

What could I say if they ask: what do you think you could contribute to our company?

What To Do During A Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
You would like to make a point on being customer service friendly and how you manage efficiency while handling orders. You also said that you worked for them before so they will ask why you had left. Make sure that you left on good terms (I.E. went back to school full time.)

Always remember, when they ask you a question, be relaxed, no short or long answers. Be on key and to the point.

Good luck in your interview.

The Inevitable Job Interview Question: "Why Did You Leave (Are Planning To Leave) Your Last Position


  • I think you should look higher above the horizon. Go to their website and learn more about Starbucks. You will be amazed that seasonal drinks is just a drop in the bucket.
    This will definitely help get juices flowing.

  • U can say to best of my ability will discharge my duties I F u are satisfied initially you also give me freedom to work and express me views.with due respect to you i want my views are also honoured

  • You have prior experience with Starbucks, which means that you'll be able to hit the ground running without needing much training. You can also highlight your customer service and drink making skills.

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

Hey, I was e-mailed for a job interview at Brightview Senior Living to e held on Thursday. This will be my first interview I ever attend, I'm only 14. But idk what to wear. I don't feel it to be necessary to wear my suit and get all dressed up. It's also summer time, and it will be hot. Any clues for what I should wear? What I should do at the 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.
