Job Interview Questions: Job Interview Etiquette?

In a job interview, is it better to answer professionally (with almost canned responses), rather casually (with realistic responses), or with a mix of both? I have an interview next week and hope to end my 8 months of unemployment.

What To Bring To A Job Interview - Interview Basics

Recommended Answer:
8 months of unemployment? Great! I've been searching for 15 months!

A mixture is a good balance. But remember a Thank You note afterwards, ESPECIALLY if you REALLY WANT that job!Have a polite day.

Job Interview Advice Everyone Can Use

• I say a good mix of both is ideal. You always want to remain professional in an interview, but you also want to be honest and give the interviewer a good idea of who you are as a person and what kind of an employee you will be. If your answers are too generic they will know you are BS'ing. Remember, an interviewer is not only listening for your answer to their question, they are looking to find out how you communicate and deal with people, how you handle yourself, and how you present yourself and your ideas. Good luck!


• A mix of both is ideal. You always want to remain professional but they are trying to find the best fit for their company and real answers that will give them a sense of your true personality is what will get you the job if you're the one. Do your research on the company and know what they are looking for and what the company stands for. That will get you a long way - showing that you made an effort and really want the job.
  
  Good luck


• Well, if you've been out of work for a long time and hope to get a job, then I'd say honest answers are the best way to go.
  
  If you are vague and unclear in your answers, then the interviewer might not take you seriously and would probably not consider you the right person for the job.


• Neither.
  
  It is better to answer with "honest" but professional answers. The more honest you are the better chance of you not only getting the job but KEEPING it as well.
  
  You and the company have to be a match.


• Doesn't matter usually, however a mix or completely professional.
  
  just make sure your answers are short and concise...


• i think professional answer is better than casual answer
  Good luck to you

Job Interview Questions: What can i expect at a job interview?

i applied for a job at a store in the mall and followed up with a phone call. they said to come in for an interview and that was it. i think the job is to be a cashier, but i don't know for sure. i don't even know if they want me full time, part time or just for the holidays. and i don't know what to wear or what to say. what are they going to ask me? i'm not good at answering questions on the fly, i want to be prepared. any help?

Job Interview Skills

Recommended Answer:
Don't worry about what the job is; you should portray confidence that you will be able to handle it with some training. It also doesn't matter whether it is part-time, full-time, or only for holidays; take whatever is available (that is if you need a job). In answering their questions, be honest and enthusiastic; after all you applied for the job without their advertising it.

As for what to wear, go to the store and see what the employees are wearing. It is usually better to wear something formal and conservative. Have a clean-cut appearance (no facial rings), and reach a few minutes before the appointed time.

Job Interview Questions: Are jeans ok for a job interview at Superdry?

I know most employment experts advise not to wear jeans, but I know of someone who works at the Superdry concession at House of Fraser; they wore jeans and a Superdry t-shirt to their interview.

My interview is with the actual store and I'm thinking of doing the same, with a pair of boots, is this a bad idea?
Will I look too casual wearing jeans? Or too desperate and predictable wearing a t-shirt from the actual brand?

How to Prepare for Your Sales Job Interview

• I would definitely not wear the superdry t shirt, you wouldn't know what to expect, so why take the risk? when you can always be on the safer side to wear formal trousers and a shirt, but trendy hairstyle and shoes for this purpose.
  good luck.


• Jeans are never a good idea for a job interview.

Job Interview Questions: What to wear to a movie theatrer job interview?

I'm really confused on what to wear to my interview at a movie theater tomorrow. My mom and sister suggested i wear khaki's and this pink half quarter sleeved sweater. I feel like that would be too dressy though? So i was thinking i'[d wear a pair of skinny jeans, with some flats, a pearl necklace and a long sleeved stripped collared shirt from american eagle with a white cami under it.

That way i'm not too overdressed or underdressed?

What To Do And Not To Do In A Job Interview

• i think the outfit your mom and sister suggested is nice, but i think you should go with the one you wanted. because its not dressy, but its not lazy either. you want to look presentable, and show you take care of yourself and stuff. but you should worry too much because they probably wont pay that much attention to your clothing because at most movie theaters they were a uniform (at the movie theater i go to all the workers have to wear black shoes, black pants and a red polo with the name of the theater on them.
  well i hope this helps and good luck on the job!
  God bless XD


• i like your idea. i wouldnt wear anything sloppy, but thats coming from me, and i plan every outfit i wear. i think what youthought of was perfect- laid back, but not too much! xoxo -ami


• I like your idea better than your moms. I go to my interviews in just regular clothes I usually wear and get the job, it's not like applying to some big company so it doesn't really matter.

A List of Tough Job Interview Questions For Tough Times

• The job interview is nothing to worry about, but the attitude suitability test is what you need to be aware of:
  
  The Deputy doing the interview says: "Your qualifications all look good, but
  there is an attitude suitability test that you must take before you can be accepted."
  Then, sliding a service pistol across the desk, he says:
  
  "Take this pistol and go out and shoot six illegal aliens, six meth dealers, six
  Muslim extremists, and a rabbit. "
  "Why the rabbit?" you ask.
  "Great attitude," says the Sergeant. "When can you start?"
  
  Works everytime. Good luck and may the force be with you!

5 Simple Rules for A Great Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
You can go online and find lists of typical interview questions. The biggest thing about an interview is being chill and honest. Basically you're just having a two way conversation with someone who is trying to get to know you. Make sure you ask questions about the company and management so you know it's a place you want to work at.
Mostly you want to be relaxed and confident. Don't worry if you get the job or not, because worrying will only make it worse.

Job Interview Questions: What are hollister taglines? And what should i wear to my hollister job interview?

I have a job interview at hollister tomorrow and i looked online found out that during the group interview the manager asks you to say a hollister "tagline". What is that? and also what should i wear?

Great Tips for a Successful Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
Tagline: Hey what's up? Welcome to the pier.
But during my group interview, none of us had to say a tagline.

DO NOT WEAR A DRESS. DO WEAR JEANS!!!

Wear dark denim jeans, flip flops, and a gray or navy top.
I wore dark denim, flip flops, and a blueish stripped button up from there at my interview.
Also, don't wear a lot of make up

Job Interview Tips - Negative Attributes That Will Stop You Getting a Job Offer

• First of all, it's very rare to ask about Tag lines in the interview. but if they do, they're attention getter's to customers coming in the store and when they're checking out at the cashwraps. Right now it's "Hey! What's Up? Welcome to the Pier." .. and "Have you signed up for our emails yet". When I first started working there 3 years ago, it was "Hey check out our shorts, they look great!" .. haha, but they're always silly.
  ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DRESS UP!! it's a group interview and it's completely casual. Wear dark denim and a grey and/or navy top with matching or leather flip flops. Also be easy with your make up, You need to look pretty, but natural.


• Don't dress up! Wear clothes only from Hollister. They're very strict on the dress code. Wear a white or navy v neck from Hollister. Or any color of plaid. Wear Hollister Skinny Jeans and some navy, white, or brown flip flops. You can only wear those flip flops or nice brown or white Vans. I heard you can't wear anything with the name on the front like the graphic tee's but I'm not sure. That's their dress code. Wear light makeup. Like foundation and mascara. That's all they allow. You can't wear eyeshadow or eyeliner. Your supposed to look as if you came from the beach. And leave your hair wavy and natural with NO bobby pins. I had a question similar to this a while back.


• "hey what's up welcome to the pier?" wear grey white or navy that's the colors employees have to wear. .um know what diversity means to you and why it's important in the work place.
  .good luck.!.
  .i actually just got hired at hollister & i love it. it's my third week(:
  oh dont wear make up they like your face to look "fresh" i guess you can say. if anything we can only wear mascara.
  no nail polish or acrylics.
  and not a bunch of accessories.


• Tagline: Hey what's up? Welcome to the pier
  
  Wear your hair like your at the beach. Maybe like this

  or just cute soft waves. Or both
  
  Dress: www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcD…
  
  or something LIKE that. something from their store is recommended.
  
  Easy makeup, Lauren Conrad is someone you really want to look up. she has it down.

  But be simpler on the eyeliner.
  
  Good luck! And be friendly!
