Job Interview Questions: Job interview at my house?

I applied for a cleaning job at a school and the lady asked for my adress and details which I thought was normal. But then she said she'd be round next Thursday afternoon and I just said ok. Would this be a job interview? I've never heard of job interviews from home like this.

Win That Second Job Interview, Like You Did With the First Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
if you applied to the school and the lady is from school or from a cleaning company hired by the school, she could be reliable.

if so, she just wish to check out how clean you kept your home, whether you are a reliable person (re theft, etc) based on your home address, etc.

if you are not comfortable, ask to see her at her office or at a coffee shop, saying now that your family has unexpected visitors that afternoon.

Job Interview Questions - Why Do You Want the Job?

• Congratulations on the interview.
  
  If the lady will be coming to your house then it's certain to say that this will be an informal visit as well as verify your credentials.
  
  Ensure your house it tidy, you dress presentable, revise your knowledge on which cleaning products clean which materials and have a copy of your resume, bank details and past job references to hand just in case.
  
  You'll be fine ;)


• Have you checked out the company? This sounds a little bizarre. You never know. She might be 'casing your house'.
  
  I would never let a stranger like this into my home - not these days. You should suggest a neutral territory, like a local coffee shop. Be honest with her. Call her back and tell her that you are uncomfortable meeting people in your home, and would like to meet in a more neutral setting, such as a coffee shop like Starbucks.
  
  If she gets really offended, this should raise a red flag.
  
  Hope this helps.


• Sounds fishy I would not trust her, tell her your never home and would prefer to meet her at starbucks or whatever other coffee place is near your home. I would never let a stranger into my home. Ask for the business address but its not worth it if you ask me.

Job Interview Questions: Did the job interview go bad?

I just got back from a job interview and I don't know how it went... When the lady would ask me a question and I'd answer, sometimes I'd be like "ummm" or "mmm" or "uhhh" and then after I answered she'd just look at me for a second or two and ask the next question. She said that they would start calling people on Wednesday for second job interview. Do you think I'll get a call back?

Knowing Some Job Interview Tips and Questions

Recommended Answer:
Next time you go to an interview be prepared. Know about the company you are being interviewed with. Look them up, know how many stores they operate, or products they produce, where headquarters is located, who the CEO is, how they are doing in this down economy.
Also know you will be asked a lot of the same questions regardless of where you go, what are your strong points, your weak points, why should you be hired, what do you bring to the table, what accomplishment are you most proud of from your last job.
Know the answers beforehand. If you do not, the guy before you and after you just might.

Job Interview Questions: What will my job interview be like?

I have a job interview coming up and it is by phone. But the reason it is by phone is because I couldn't be present for a face to face interview. It's an on campus job, so students are employed. I was wondering what sort of questions will be asked in this sort of situation and how to handle the phone aspect of it. Thanks in advance for your help.

The Three Secrets of Winning Job Interviews

Recommended Answer:
No joke, answer with a smile - people can hear your emotions through the phone.

Be organized. Have dates of previous jobs, if any, and at least 3 references, personal and professional, with phone numbers and addresses at the ready.

Be ready to answer questions like, "tell me about yourself." which does NOT mean go into your life and how much it sucked. It means, "tell me what you can do for me and this company." Be positive and upbeat, but be truthful. when asked, "name a circumstance where you were put on the spot. What did you do," be honest, again, but tell the interviewer what you learned; i.e., "Since then, I have learned to be more communicative, and to listen more attentively. That experience has helped to make me much better at meeting customer's needs." You'll also hear, "What's your worst weakness?" Name it, but put a positive spin on it. "Well, I'd have to say that my worst weakness is I tend to get impatient. On the other hand, I guess it means I have a ton of energy, and sometimes I need to stop and take a deep breath."

Hope this helps!
