Situation questions. I dont know specifically but they will probably be like this " Name a stressful situation why was it stressful how did you approach it what steps did you take and what was the result? they will all be related to experiences that could go on in the work place.

    Job Interview Questions: How do I address my illness in a job interview?

    I've been on disability for the last three years, but I have been well for quite some time. I have schizophrenia/bipolar. How do I tactfully address this issue with a future employer?

    Which of These Job Interview Problems Would You Like to End?



    Recommended Answer:
    You don't. You are not obligated to inform them of any illness you have as long as it won;t interfere with your performance on the job.... get the job first... work long enough for them to accept you THEN maybe let them know about your issues..... if you tell them during an interview they will hire the other guy.... guarantee it.

    Job Interview Tips - How to Showcase Your Talents Confidently


    • You don't.

      When you apply for a job, an employer is not legally suppose to evaluate you based on illnesses or disease. What they will do is ask if you are able to do the job "with or without accommodation". What that means is if they hire you, what will they need to provide you with in order for you to successfully complete the responsibilities of the job. The accommodation may be anything from a flexible schedule, reduced hours, special chairs/desks/lighting or other equipment. The thing is that if you tell them you need something and the accommodation would cause the company significant financial or other burden, they don't have to provide it.

      You are much better off not disclosing a disability unless you are legally required to. Cases where you might be legally required to disclose would include positions where security, safety or other sensitive types of work conditions would be present.

    • There is no way to do this, doesn't matter what the law is you will be disqualified.

    • You don't. It's no ones business what issues you have... period.

    Recommended Answer:
    Every manager at abercrombie is different. No one can tell you that you will get a call on a specific day of the week. If they do call and you're on vacation, they will move down their list and call someone else. They will not call you if they're not interested.

      Job Interview Questions: I need to know for my job interview. What is XFinity and how does it relate to Comcast?

      I'm going on an interview tomorrow for a sales job with Comcast and I want to be knowledgeable. Also, what is the most important thing about Comcast as it relates to either Qwest or Dish TV?

      Telephone Job Interview Challenges - Preparation Is the Key!



      Recommended Answer:
      Xfinity is basically a branding arm of Comcast. In areas of the country where their "World of More" service improvement rollout is complete, they are using the Xfinity name to promote the consumer service and Comcast's name to promote business solutions. Xfinity markets typically have more HD than others (~100 channels versus the 30 or so before), faster internet with speeds starting at 12-20 mbps, and wider On-Demand offerings.

      As to the main difference between Comcast and Qwest or Dish or whoever, when you're a Comcast subscriber you write one check to one company for phone, internet and TV. Even when the local phone company "bundles" with a satco, and you may still only write one check for service, you still have two separate companies responsible for your services and it makes it that much harder to get problems resolved.

        Job Interview Questions: Job interview Thursday - what should I do with my long hair?

        I've got a job interview on Thursday and can't decide what to do with my hair - 4 inches past shoulders:

        1. Go to a salon have it trimmed and wear loose?
        2. As 1. but have it put up / ponytail
        3. Have it cut in to a Bob for a more professional look
        4. As 3. but go for a Pixie

        Must admit that the idea of cutting my hair is pretty appealing!

        What do you think?

        Tips For Job Interviews - Information You Need to Know



        Recommended Answer:
        I spend a lot of my time interviewing and i would reiterate what somebody has already said ' all of the above are acceptable as long as you don't spend the whole interview either playing with your hair or pushing it out of your eyes'.

        In that respect you may find certain Bob styles mean hair goes in your eyes when leaning forward as much as a long style.

        One thing to consider: A few months ago I interviewed a girl with long hair which was styled so that it didn't go in her face. When she came back for a second interview her hair had been cut in to a really pretty, short pixie - I remembered her after this transformation and she ended up getting the job. In the current job market it's worth trying anything to make sure you are remembered!

        • I really like number 3 and 4, but I'd go with either a ponytail or a ballerina bun. Since it would be a job interview, you shouldn't really look so fashioned, unless it's going to be modeling or designing or something. Just simple yet elegant and pretty good-looking hairstyle.

        • What you do the night before is put a large smear of vaseline in your hair and back comb it. Leave it in overnight and your hair should be shiny and curly the next morning ;)

        • i think have a little trim, and get them to put it up in a pretty simple bun slightly to the side... very professional looking and elegant, don't cut your hair you will only regret it .. :)

        • either tie it up in a high pony tail r a bun .if u want to cut it, cut it but make sure to keep hair out of ur face cs that looks unprofessionall

        • If you don't want to get it cut you could always put it up into a smart looking bun.

        • Go fuh the ponytail make sure your hair is not in your face and smile ;)

        • dont bother cutting it, just put it up in a really nice ballerina bun

        • A job interview shouldn't stop one from making a DRASTIC change in their hairstyle, but if you have long hair teach yourself to style it up, to look more professional. Mine is down to my knees, and I can easily style it 7 different ways a week. Takes 2-10 mins. I've posted 27 in 11 months. There are so many inspirations out there: American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, PROM & fashion magazines. Just turn on the TV and find more inspirations, and try to see if you can incorporate their styles to yours. I use claw clips often, add fabric flowers. I make tons of those to help non-profit org.

          I've had mine cut Princess Di's hair style once, it looked good on her, but because of my hair texture, HATED it on me.

          The only advice I can give you? It's only hair. If you don't like the pixie cut or bob style, you can always grow your hair again. You'll never know how it looked on you, without trying it.

          I am for long hair now. I had more problems and troubles with short hair, and I looked like a boy. I have sons, and I don't want to look like one of their sisters when I'm with them. I want to look more like their mom. My short hair is over, I had that all my grade school life and won't look like grade school or like all the Seniors @ the center - where I do volunteer work.

          If you do decide to cut your hair shorter, make sure they're wrapped up saved in paper. I guarantee you, they will never be that long, healthy and color again.

          Example of one who cut her hair too short:
          ok,so my god mom is a beautician and just did my hair and cut it SO short it is exactly how i did not want it and school is tomorrow.

        Job Interview Questions: How long does it take Walmart to call after the second job interview?

        Hey everybody, I just went into Walmart and had two back to back job interviews, They said they liked me and recommended me for the job, but said they had to check on my references and then they would call me in a few days. Do you think they were serious, or just trying to get rid of me? Would they have hired me right there if I got the job? Thanks

        Recommended Answer:
        If they were trying to get rid of you, they wouldn't have mentioned checking the references or recommended you for the job (not sure what you mean by that, but anyway).

        Sounds like you'll get the job. They'll call in a few days like they said.

        Job Interview Questions: Is this OK to wear to a job interview?

        Suppose a woman (early 20's) was a cheerleader in high school, and she still has her uniform and it still fits her. Would it be OK to wear it to a job interview if she wears pantyhose with it?

        Critical Mistakes To Avoid at Job Interview



        Recommended Answer:
        Why would anyone consider wearing a cheerleader uniform to a job interiew? Definitely wear the pantyhose, but something a little more appropriate like a skirt or dress would be better.

        High Paying Job Interview Tips


        • If you just want to wear pantyhose during interviews then go right ahead. But try to put them with a professional-looking office/lawyer kind of outfit, or perhaps something you would wear to church or a wedding.
          The cheerleader outfit may only be good for an interview with a place like Hooter's.

        • Why in the world would you even consider that? Of course, you don't say what type of position you are seeking, but it certainly wouldn't be appropriate for anything I can think of.

        • No it shows a childish mentality better suited to middle school

        Job Interview Questions: How many of you will never have to go on a job interview again in your life?

        I just saw an suggestion to google your name before a job interview to see what comes up. And then I realized that I'll never have to go on a job interview again! I'll retire from the job I have and even if I were to be fired before retirement I wouldn't have to go back to work. I don't know if that should make me happy or sad. Does this situation make a person lucky or just old?

        Job Interview Tips That Deliver



        Recommended Answer:
        I worked for the same employer for 98% of my career. I haven't had a job interview since I landed that job in 1976. When I moved to new jobs in-house, it was usually through my mentor so the interview was just a formality to be sure I actually did speak the language and didn't drool when I talked. I'm now retired so I'll never have to do that again. It's been 14 months now, and I feel lucky beyond belief to be out of that fray. I feel lucky, not old, to be out of the "seriously employed" phase of my life. For me, my career was the means to the end, not the end.

        It seems like interviews have gotten a lot more rigorous than they used to be. I wouldn't know how to begin to prepare. Google myself? I'm too low tech to have anything out there. Would that work for or against me? I can see it now: "Hmmm... Ms. W... we couldn't find anything about you on Google or anywhere else on the internet. What are you hiding?"

        We went through a phase of using "behavioral interviewing" techniques at my employer. It wasn't enough to just talk about your experience, the quality of your results, and what you could bring to the job. Right on the spot, you had to give examples from your past about how you behaved when something hypothetical or from your resume happened. Sometimes it was a group interview, with various people watching for different things. There was no way to prepare or fake a response, which I suppose was the point. We were trained to dig and dig and dig until it was clear the person was telling the truth and not just spinning what they thought we wanted to hear. It was sort of like being on trial. I'm glad I never had to be a behavioral interviewee. It was pretty brutal. Almost antagonistic and adversarial. I wonder if the technique is still in use.

        I'm not really expecting to go back to work, but if I did it would be at some place like Lowe's (I'd love to work in their kitchen design area!) or one of the touristy places in town. Presumably their interviews would be more like the one I had in 1976. I could probably handle that, although I might have a hard time describing how 30 years as an IT manager prepares me to design kitchens or sell flip flops!

        Sales Job Interviews - The Most Important Preparation Question


        • I am retired with an adequate income so I really never have to interview again. For the first few years, that seemed like a great blessing. I no longer had to get out there and compete or go through the travails of being accepted or rejected (sort of like adolescent dating).

          But, I will have to admit now that I sort of miss it. I did have the process down --including the preliminary research, the five-part cover letter, the careful documentation, and the extensive rehearsals before the actual interview. I really don't have to work anymore but sometimes I miss the challenge.

        • Like you, I don't have to ever go on another interview again. However, if I retire within the next three years, I would like to continue to work. I am planning to work for the Texas Education Agency. Several of my friends and colleagues have retired and gone to work for TEA. It sounds like something that would interest me for several years beyond my retirement from my school district. So, possibly I might go on one more interview.
          It is a surreal thought, but I haven't been on an interview in a long time anyway. It doesn't mean we are getting old. We are getting to that point in our lives when we can enjoy what we want to do. The baby boomers will have a different kind of retirement than any other generation before us. No rocking chairs in sight for us!

        • I retired from my career in education after 33 years. I could not wait until the final day. Hating waking up early to go to school. Counting the weeks, days, then minutes until I would be free.
          The day after it was over an unexpected sadness came over me. I missed my identity, my having to get up and go to work, my purpose. It took a full year to stop missing the whole situation. I even substitute taught to deal with my separation issues. Imagine after hoping and praying for it to be over.
          But now, it has been three years and this is the best of everything. I can do the things I want to do. I visit my grandchildren, I travel, I have a business -- check it out http/:www.bukrap.com.
          I work when I want, I sleep late when I want to and I can read a ton of books, knit, etc. I am not old -- 58 - life has just begun!
          Enjoy
          Happy trails,

        • I don't. I'm retired!

          I'm lucky! You don't realize how much time you have available if you've worked full time for most of your life. I'll make a list of things that I want to do that week. If they're not done - I move them to next week.

        • I have to get to a job interview tomorrow for a job that I probably will not get(most likely because I am white and don't speak spanish.) Funny how things are run these days.

        • Just old.

          I have far more plans for my future which may include additional job interviews. I have nothing on Google to be worried about.

        • No. Even though I make jokes about what to put on my resume, I doubt I'll ever write another resume again, or attend another job interview. I absolutely love my work. I'm not by any stretch of the imagination getting rich, but I have enough to take care of me and the cats and to do something a little special for my loved ones once in a while. When business is slow its simple enough to dig up extra internet work, but I rarely run into that problem anymore. I have a good core of regular clients who trust me and appreciate my work, and I'm very grateful for them.

          As for what it means. It could mean a lot of things to different people. A lot of people might be looking forward to the next job interview. That could mean they're unhappy or unfulfilled or insecure in their present job. It could mean they're restless go-getters looking for the next "best" thing. Or maybe they just enjoy the change.

          But if you'll never have another job interview, it could mean you're happy and secure in your work. It could mean, like me, you're self-employed and intend to stay that way. It could mean you have a lifelong contract signed in blood (hope not, but.. erm... you never know). It certainly doesn't mean you're old, and there is nothing wrong with job-satisfaction, or being comfortable and secure in your work.

          And you say if you were to get fired, you wouldn't have to find another job. Nothing wrong with that - you seem to be an intelligent, skilled, and expressive person and can surely find all kinds of fulfillment without a job. I'd say thats a good thing.

          I'm glad I'll never have another job-interview. Celebrate!

          *tosses confetti*

        Job Interview Questions: What should one wear to a job interview to work at a 5 star hotel?

        My brother got a call for a job interview and he said they told him to dress appropriately as if he was to work for the hotel. He said he's gonna wear part of his tuxedo, like the white shirt, tie, black vest, slacks, and dress shoes. I thought it was a little weird that he's gonna wear a black vest, it makes it too fancy. But maybe that's how it should be. Do you think it's good or what do you recommend?

        Techniques To Avoid Job Interview Stress



        Recommended Answer:
        While men may have less variety when it comes to workplace attire, they also are subjected to more stringent definitions of what is appropriate for the office. When it comes to deciding what to wear on an important interview, in almost every situation the more conservative the suit, the better the choice. Very few men can wear suits right off the rack, and you should always take your suit to a tailor to ensure that it fits you properly before wearing it on an interview.

        Navy Blue
        Choose a two piece, solid colored, matched suit constructed from wool or a wool blend for your interview. Navy blue is a dark blue color. Do not wear a powder blue suit or a bright blue suit, or try to match your jacket with pants that are another color. Buy your pants and jacket together, so that you can ensure that they are exactly the same shade of navy blue. Unless you are interviewing for a job in a creative field such as graphic design, you should choose a jacket with two or three buttons. Four buttons may look too trendy and adding a vest looks ostentatious.

        Charcoal Grey
        Charcoal grey is a dark grey color. For men, lighter colored neutrals such as dove grey and tan are seen as too informal for a job interview. Traditionally, black suits are seen as too flashy. Even though other men in the office may be wearing these colors, you need to wait until you are actually hired before you start experimenting with your look. At an interview, you want to be remembered for your qualifications and what you say, not how you look.

        What to Wear with Your Suit
        Choose a full-sleeve, button up shirt in white or light blue, even if it is summer. Wear a conservative silk tie that is no less than 3 1/4 inches wide. According to Career Builder, image consultants recommend a red tie for a navy blue suit or a burgundy tie for a grey suit. If you want to wear a tie with a pattern, choose a subtle pattern. Do not wear a tie with cartoon characters on it. Wear black socks that cover your ankles, and black leather shoes with a matching belt. Carry a briefcase or portfolio with you instead of a backpack or loose papers, and remove any jewelry other than a wedding ring or watch.Read more: The Best Color Suit for Men to Wear on Interviews | eHow.com www.ehow.com/list_6860795_color-s…

        10 Job Interview Tips That Will Help You Make a Good Impression


        • As long as he wears a normal tie (tied with a Windsor or half Windsor knot) rather than a bow-tie then his outfit is fine, though slacks seem a little informal, he should wear formal trousers but not evening trousers (ie with a silk stripe and most certainly he should not wear a cummerbund or braces but a belt), he will probably have to dress similarly if he gets the job.

        • To any interview, you should wear a shirt, tie, suit jacket and pants. Not a tuxedo. That is prom. You wear a suit. First impressions are huge. They will probably tell you that you are overdressed, and they will tell you to dress down, but they will love to see that you are formally dressed. Works every single time. Wearing a suit shows class and sophistication.

        • He should wear black trouser (ironed) White shirt (ironed) black blazer (ironed) and a tie with a appropriate shoe, no trainer

        • I would just wear a suit.

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

        I have a job interview with World Market tomorrow. Im a little confused on what I should wear to the interview. I popped in today and saw that the employees have a casual dress code. They were wearing jeans, tennis shoes and solid colored tops, with company apron. I have read a number of times to never wear jeans to a job interview but this job is pretty casual. I dont want to overdress and I dont want to underdress. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

        What To Do And Not To Do In A Job Interview



        Recommended Answer:
        you should probably go for flats with neatly pleated skirt and your blouse should almost be to your elbow no cleavage

        How to Prepare For a Job Interview - Preparing For a Good Job


        • It doesn't matter if the job will be a casual or semi- casual setting you should ALWAYS wear something professional. A pair of pin striped or solid black pants and a cute blouse with closed toed heels (no sandals) would be appropriate. Don't over dress but certainly don't under dress either. Always keep a clean and neat appearance and make sure your hair looks nice too!

          You can never get a second chance to make a first impression...

          Remember also, if you want to move up in the company they will remember how you came in. If you look like you are a professional person with skills you will be held to that standard and it helps when it comes to evaluations and promo time!

        • First off, don't be afraid of over dressing. It shows that you are serious about getting the job, and you know how to present yourself in an important situation. Always dress in a way that compliments your figure and skin tone. ( ex. If you are pale, no yellows are light peaches or whites) Also don't wear too much makeup. Go light and natural and not to dark. Something that would look nice might be a striped pant leg, dark jean jacket, black stilletos, and nothing too flashy ( these aren't suggestions for an actual outfit, just article of clothing that might look nice paired with something else) One more thing, don't over accesorize. A simple chain necklace and earings that don't dangle very much can go a long way.

          If you want to impress at the interview, you could also try greeting them with a nice, firm handshake and a dazzling smile. Always remember to appear comfortable even though you really may not be.

        • I agree with most everyone else; never wear jeans to a job interview. I used to be a hiring manager for a local retail store. It was a very casual position, but it was nice to see people come in not necessarily in fancy clothes, but nice outfits. I guess it shows drive and determination. To me it showed that yes the job is casual, but you are taking the interview and the job seriously. I think a good idea would be a pair of tan or black pants and a nice dress shirt - still kind of casual but nowhere along the lines of jeans.

        • Do not wear jeans! no matter how casual the job is! I always played it safe with black pants and a white button down top

        • wear a button down white blouse and a knee length skirt or work pants

        • i wuld wear jeans and a tshirt
