Job Interview Questions: Typical job interview questions?

What are some questions that an interviewer asked you in a job interview. They can be random questions like if you were any type of plant,what type would you want to be? They can also be any typical question like an ice breaker question. It would help to know your answers too but it's not as important as the question itself.

Questions For Job Interview Situations - Overcoming the Fear

Recommended Answer:
Here are some typical ones that were asked me:

What are your strengths and weaknesses? [Answers are subjective and various.]
How would you contribute to the betterment of the company? [Answers vary and depend on what kind of company you apply to.]
How would you define/describe a "bad boss"? [Don't focus on the bad. Mention some things but try to redirect it positively.]

Some companies will ask completely different and sometimes obscure/crazy questions! For instance, Zappos may ask you to describe your own personal "weirdness." (Went over that in our business class.)

Job Interviewing Tips

• They usually ask "Why would you like to work here" or
  Why do you think you would be a good fit for us? That's when you learn about their company so you can say something meaningful that will impress them, the fact that you took the time to do some research on their company.

Job Interview Questions: I'm going for a job interview for American Eagle on Thursday, and I have a couple questions?

What should I wear? Should I wear their clothes? And should it be more dressy like for a professional job interview or more casual like someone who might shop in their store?

Wear what you think looks the best on you. It is too obvious to wear American Eagle unless you have stuff you lide. Dressy is better. Don't worry about off-the-wall questions - they don't count for too much. One of those is, "where do you expect to see yourself in five years?". Answer - I expect to have your job. (not really).

Job Interview Questions: Did a job interview Monday but they pulled the position today haven't heard back?

My husband did a job interview on Monday but they pulled the position down off the website today
but still haven't heard anything

he did 2 phone interviews and a face to face one this past monday
does that mean he didn't get the job since they didn't call back ?

Lethal Job Interview Mistakes

Recommended Answer:
Note there was 1 job that I was hired for that took another week or two after the final interview to be called back. I thought the worse of course since I didnt hear back immediately but they called me back a couple weeks afterwards. They just have to get everything ready on their end to be ready for him to go work there. Dont give up hope! I hope he is hired.Well if they pulled it off the site that doesn't mean they didnt hire him, it just means they have had the interviews and no longer want applications for the position. They probably have narrowed it down and are making a final interview for the few they want to hire. Have your husband follow up and give them a call saying he's still interested in the position and wants to know if they are still considering him for the position or if the position is closed. Most (nice) places will send out a letter to applicants stating they appreciate your time but they have chosen someone else. Just give a call, tell them what I said and wish for the best! I got called back for a few jobs from just giving a call back. Good luck

Help, I Have to Prepare For My Job Interview!

• In today's economy, with so many people looking for work, the norm now is that if you don't hear anything, you probably didn't get the job. The days when a prospective employer had the common courtesy to notify you one way or the other are long gone, I'm afraid.


• Well, that doesn't sound good, they would only pull it down for two reasons: either they are simply done interviewing, or they have filled the position. The removal itself doesn't absolutely mean they found someone though, but, my guess would be like yours, that they may have. It won't hurt to do a follow-up contact but don't make any assumptions, they may just not want any more applicants and removed that to stop them.


• Not sure if he missed out on the job, but here are some key things to do after an interview!
  
  #1 thing after an interview is to send via email a thank you to the person or persons who interviewed you! With the ending statement "I look forward to working with you"
  
  #2 Mail a Thank You card
  
  #3 Never wait to get a call, follow up every day! It may seem annoying but persistance is what has to happen in this economy, and not allowing them time to forget you :-)
  
  These are things I preped my candidates before an interview, when I was a recruiter!

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

I have to dress up tomorrow like im going to a job interview
would skinny/flare jeans be acceptable?
I'm going to wear flare jeans(or, if acceptable, skinny ones) with wedge heels, a black tack top and a 3/4 sleeve jacket on top
should I just screw the pants and go with a skirt?

Know How Important the Job Interview Questions Are

Recommended Answer:
I would wear nice black pants with a nice blouse not a tank top. If you want to wear a skirt make sure it's not a short one. I would wear a suit jacket. Wear heels(not the type for clubbing though). Jeans are a definate no-no.

Job Interview Answers That Lead to Success

• If you are applying for a proffessional job blue jeans are not acceptable regardless of style. Wear suit pants or a skirt it would leave a much more proffessional impression on the inteviewer.
  
  I mean if you are interviewing for a casual type job than it may be acceptable and better to not overdress, but otherwise nix the jeans and wear something more appropriate for a professional work environment.


• No. Wear a leather miniskirt that your butt cheeks don't have a chance staying in. Pair that with knee length black, snakeskin boots. Depending on your breast size, wear a bra that is basically all padding. Girlfriend, you want those bosoms to literally suffocate whoever is interviewing you. This will disable oxygen to flow into his/her brain, therefore increasing your chances of getting the job. I would do a sexy comb over. Good luck toots :)


• Yeah. No jeans.
  
  What you wear on your interview says alot about you to the interviewer.
  
  Wear Casual-buisness clothing.
  
  A skirt would be good. Yeah, wear the skirt.
  
  Good luck!! What's the job btw?


• Depends, if you are going for a job at "whole foods" or "vitamin cottage", then probaly ok for the jeans. If you are trying to work in an office, wear the skirt.


• Don't wear jeans to an interview. I don't care what kind of jeans they are. I'd tell that person to just go home if they showed up at my place of business like that looking for a job.


• Never wear jeans to an interview. You should dress business-casual. Think grey or black slacks with small heels or flats and a dressy or business top.


• No jeans. Wear either black dress pants or a nice skirt ;)

Job Interview Questions: Job interview tomorrow but planning a vacation for next month?

I have a job interview tomorrow. I plan on going on a cruise next month, its nonrefundable. When is the appropriate time to tell them about needing a week off? And no, this job isn't very important to me so I'd probably choose the cruise over the job.

Assorted Job Interview Techniques

Recommended Answer:
do not mention it at all. In all likelihood the job will start after cruise. companies move slow.

if asked when you can start just pick the monday after cruise. do not mention cruise.

Ninja Job Interview Tactics For Serious Job Seekers

• Go to the interview. Don't mention the cruise. This will only become relevant if you get the job. They will generally ask you when you can be available to begin working. You are not required to tell them why you can begin immediately. You can say that you have a prior obligation, but don't be specific.


• Wait until the job has been offered to you before you tell them. If you tell them in the interview... you're not going to get the job. If it's a high-level job, you may be able to take the time off for the cruise. If it's an entry-level job... probably not. Most jobs (outside of fast-food) have a 60-90 day probation period that does not allow for any time off. If you're not currently in need of a job, I'd stop looking until it's closer to your vacation time (after this interview of course). Good luck!


• You really shouldn't even go to that interview. I bet there's a lot of people looking forward to that job, people that doesn't have money for the bills let alone for a cruise. You will lose your time, make them lose their time and take away the opportunity for the other people. There's a crisis out there, if you don't need/want/like a job, then just leave it to some one who really deserve it.


• It sounds like you've already made your decision, but let them know at the end of the interview, AFTER you've made your impression. Let them know that it's non-refundable and that you wouldn't even consider going if there was any way to get out of it. They'll understand if you have proven good work record and that you're a hard worker. But if you're not fussed about the job then just go on the cruise. If I could make that decision I would lol.


• The cruise is something that you mention after they offer you the job. If you mention it before that, it gives them a reason to axe you if you are tied with another candidate.
  
  But if this job is no big deal to you, why even interview?


• if this job's not important don't bother wasting yours and their time.
  anyways, you mention something like that after you get the job.
  something like that will affect in their decision-making


• Definately after you are hired. It is unusual to take off so soon in a job so if they say no, it is up to you to quit or stay.


• I would mention towards the end of your interview

Job Interview Questions: What should I expect from this job interview tomorrow morning?

I am a 16 yr old struggling with anxiety and depression, and this is my first ever job interview, so I am extremely nervous about it. I have NO idea what to expect. It is to be doing kitchen work (mainly cleaning and stuff) in a local restaurant. What kinds of things will I be asked? Should I talk about my anxiety (or even mention it)? Are they going to ask me questions about my bank account or how they're going to pay me or something? Because in terms of money, I don't even know how my bank is set up! lol. Help?

Career Change Job Search: Job Interview Tips!

Recommended Answer:
They'll most likely ask you what sort of experience you have that relates to the job you've applied for. So even though this is your first job, tell them about any volunteer things you done, etc. If you really don't have experience, put a positive spin on it and tell them that you learn fast, and really push the fact that you're a good student (assuming your a good student). A lot of times places like restaurants know that this is your first job and so they just want to know that you're going to be reliable and hard working. Tell them that you're really excited about this position and feel that you would do well. Confidence will show them that you really have interest in the job, and that you'll be able to handle yourself if hired.

Do not talk to them about your anxiety. You don't need to share that information with them unless it becomes a problem on the job. Your first interview should be highlighting all your positive points. You want to give them reasons to hire you, not reasons to throw your application in the garbage.
Also, don't ask about pay or benefits on the first interview. Wait until you have the job to bring things like that up.

How To Get Ready For A Job Interview

• They will be trying to find out if you are a good match for the job, and information to compare you to other applicants to see who is the best match... most dependable, most efficient, most cooperative, most likely to stay around once hired, etc. So, what you're looking to do is convince them that you fit what they're looking for.
  
  I would not talk about your anxiety. That makes you appear like a potential problem, not a solution.
  
  Also, questions about details about pay belong after you get hired, if you do. That's human resources stuff; you don't start in on HR stuff until you're hired.
