• have answers to other questions memorized.
  
  Like if he asks, "what year did this company open?"
  
  Say, "That's a good question, I know its been going strong for years now, I can remember passing by with my mother, I do know that some of the best products are sold from inside this store."
  
  Or whatever, just talk. Don't sit there dumbfounded, just come up with anything as long as its logical and not just random words.

Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview as a pretrial release case manager tomorrow and I am very nervous! help?

I have no idea what they will ask me during the interview. I am worried that I may need to refresh my memory of some legal terms and such. Do any of you work with the court systems, if so what was your interview like. I am very excited about this job and I don't want to blow it.

Job Interviewing Skills: Making The Small Differences Count!

Recommended Answer:
Yes, refresh your memory with legal terms. Have some questions ready to ask at the end. Act confident, but not cocky, sit up straight and dress smartly.
They will probably ask you questions such as why do you think you are suited to this job; what experience do you have that relates to this job; what are your best qualities; what would you do in this situation etc.
Tell them you are reliable, punctual, concientious, work well both own your own and in a team, confident and organized. Good Luck x

Job Interview - Best Prep Questions

• You should refresh your memory. What is the job you are applying for...you should know the basic responsibilities of it already. They'll likely ask you questions that relate to those responsibilities...or general business ones such as teaming or leading. Think about some instances in your history where you fulfilled one of those responsibilities successfully or where you went above and beyond. Think about a challenge or two that you overcame and how you can tie it to a few of those responsibilities to show you can perform well. Also, be sure to have some questions for them...do ask about basics if you don't know them, but also study up on the company and ask them questions about how they work, their mission, etc. Don't go in cold...practice in front of a mirror or with a friend.

Job Interview Questions: Illegal job interview question?

I am in my mid 50's and went on a job interview on Friday, on the job application, it asked for marital status, and I checked Single, never married. The interviewer saw this and asked me why I never married. Apparently, she assumed that this was due to a flaw in my character. The real truth is a very personal physical problem, but the way I see it, I'm screwed no matter how I answer that question.

Can she legally ask that question? How should I answer that if that question is asked again?

Job Interview Help - Some Things That Might Help You Ace Your Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
Instead of considering the *legality* of this question or any such 'edgy' question, consider the motivation behind it.

I'm sorry to say that this could be a ploy to test you for 'persnickety-ness.'

One of the reasons for age bias in all fields and careers for 'line-level' employees is this: younger people are perceived as being 'open minded' and 'flexible' and older people are often perceived as 'persnickety.'

Now, I mean 'persnickety' from the EMPLOYER'S point of view, not persnickety from a social/interpersonal point of view. Here's what employers might fear about older employees:

1) more likely to be aware of all the various employment laws and to hold the employer accountable

2) more likely to make demands for 100% compliance with health&safety laws, break times, vacations, comp time, overtime, promotions, etc.

You can see where I'm going here -- employers don't want employees who, upon getting hired, start citing this rule and that rule, and demanding this accomodation and that accomodation, or make frequent trips to Human Resources to threaten action 'If a person with less experience gets promoted over me' and so on.

When the interviewer asks this question, if the candidate acts startled/angry and replies "It's against the law to ask that question" THAT CANDIDATE DOES NOT GET THE JOB. And the motivation behind asking that question was simply to expose a 'persnickety troublemaker' before they manage to make it into the company.

Job Interview Tips

• I don't think it is illegal to ask this question, although anyone experienced in interviewing would not ask you personal questions unrelated to the job.
  
  If the question is asked again, maybe the best answer you could give is just "I never married due to personal reasons." - that's true, but it doesn't go into any embarrassing details. Of course, you are well within your rights to instead say "Please don't take this the wrong way, but I prefer not to answer personal questions that don't seem to be related to the job."


• Godzilla's response is right on. The question is designed to measure your level of tolerance when it comes to answering sensitive personal queries. The quickness of the answer is also considered.
  
  Good luck!


• In the US it's illegal to include on an application or ask in an interview. But what are you going to do about it... you can't remind them this is not appropriate questions but you can't sure them over it.

Job Interview Questions: For this specific job interview, when should I get there?

I always hear that you should get to the interview 10-15 minutes early. I have my first ever job interview tomorrow at Culver's and since that is a restaurant, should I get there early?

I was told to go and ask for the manager at 4:00. But sometimes, theer is a line for food so what time should I get there at? I don't want to cut a bunch of people so I could speak to the manager.

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

Im 16 and i applied for a job at Marshalls.

also any tips to help with my interview?

Upgrade a Good Job Interview With Successful Job Interview Skills

Recommended Answer:
If I remember correctly, Marshalls doesn't have a uniform. So it's okay to be a little on the casual side. A simple pair of slacks and a top. Or a low key dress. It's not really what you wear, but how you wear it. Don't wear high heels; preferably something flat. If no flats, then wear something with a low heel. But it ultimately depends on where you're working. If you were going to a big business or something, you'd want to up the professionalism of your outfit.

Do you appear neat and organized?
Are your clothes clean?
Properly fitting?

I'm 17 and just got a job at Sears. For my first interview, I wore a pair of flowy brown slacks with a white button down with a low heeled brown shoe, and for my second interview I wore a ruffled black & white polka dot dress with black flats. Nothing too fancy, but nothing too casual.

This is a rule I like to use, and you should try asking yourself this question when picking out interview clothes:
if they had you start work that day, would you have to go home and change?

So you should really try to fit in with what you see at Marshalls. Take note of what the other employees are wearing, and try to fit into the spectrum; you don't want to be too far above them, but you don't want to be waay at the bottom, either.

But always remember, you can still be cute! You're working at a clothes store, so you could wear a white top with ruffles near the buttons with a high waisted skirt (with or without pattern), a matching purse and low heeled shoes.

You just always want to make sure though, that you're clothes aren't too tight or too loose!
Just be presentable, and remember: it's not just about the clothes, it's also about you. (:

But if Marshalls doesn't have a uniform, which I don't believe they do, then you want to make sure that you're looking extra (but not too extra lol) cute, because they're trying to sell clothes, and you're trying to sell THEM your wardrobe! So you have to give them an idea of what you'll be wearing to work everyday. Would you buy clothes from a badly dressed person?

Good luck, I'm sure you'll get the job! (:

The Most Common Job Interview Blunders
