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

Job Interview Preparation - How to Create That Powerful First Impression

• Research the company in general and the location in specific. Ask questions about the company; especially questions that point to you having done your research first. Do NOT ask about money or benefits until after you are offered the job. Arrive prepared with an extra cover letter and resume, your references. Dress in a nice business suit; even if it is over dressing for the job. Remember to give a good firm handshake. Remember to make eye contact, use manners and thank the interviewer for their time. Good luck.

The biggest thing is attitude, being positive and open to learning, willingness to cross train. Second to attitude is how you look dress nicely and do some basic homework on the company you are applying to.


• They look for confidence. And at your facebook profile.

Job Interview Questions: Job interview at McDonalds soon...?

I have an interview with McDonalds on Monday and I'm very nervous. I'm 14 and this is my first job interview:
What kind of questions will they ask?
What should I wear? I have some black pants but they aren't dress pants, or should I wear my khakis. Would it be appropriate to wear a polo or a dress shirt with a sweater vest (I don't have any ties that match my shirts) And should I wear black dress shoes or just tennis shoes?
And Finally when do they tell you if you got the job?
Before you say something about my age, I can work at 14 in my state, why else would they call me in for an interview, my age was on the application

Job Interviews - Do You Really Want the Job?

Recommended Answer:
I worked at a Burger King when I was that exact age. My employer told me to go home (one hour away) and change into some dress pants (true story). Wear dress shoes and anything that looks professional. Wear your "church" clothes. With the interview, they're going to ask you about your employment history, why you want a job at McDonalds, and then eventually they'll tell you that you have to show up on time for your shift, you can't be late, you're supposed to keep nodding your head, and ultimately they'll give you a job.

• They will mostly ask things like have you had any experience what are your weaknesses? Strengths? You should wear khaki pants and a nice dress shirt with dress shoes and the next day send a thank you letter for letting them interview you and hopefully you will get a call remember: no slouching direct eye contact no fidgeting.


• they will ask you about school, how you go in class, if you said you work around the house with the family then he will be like what do you do
  wear something that makes you look neat, approachable, just like clean runners and stuff. dont worry and interview there is easy, its how i got my first job.

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: What to wear for my job interview?

I am really frustrated about what to wear for my job interview, it is for an animal hospital as a receptionist.... I need someone that has been in this position to answer because I know I can't look all business look but not to casual.. I already got the a really nice shirt(kind of professional look) but bottoms and feet =O i'm just stuck I really wanted to wear jeans they are not ripped or anything and they are not to tight but I know usually jeans are not ok.

Job Interview Do's and Don'ts

Recommended Answer:
No, jeans are not OK, not for a receptionist at an animal hospital.

You can't go wrong with a suit that fits well, but if you don't own a suit, you're going to want to make sure you wear either dress pants or a skirt in a neutral solid (black, gray, navy blue, preferably). If you wear a skirt, make sure it's not too short (needs to cover the thighs when you sit). Wear closed-toe, conservative heels in a neutral (probably black.) I wouldn't worry about hosiery. Make sure your clothes are pressed and that your shoes are clean/polished.

The Inevitable Job Interview Question: "Why Did You Leave (Are Planning To Leave) Your Last Position

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.

Job Interview Questions: What to wear to a job interview in a kennel?

Any advice please?

How to Succeed at Your Job Interview
