Job Interview Questions: I have group job interview at Pier 1, what should I expect?

My interview is on Thursday and they told me that it was a Group Interview. I don't really know what to expect because I have never been to one before. Thanks for everyone's help! :)

Preparing For Job Interviews



Recommended Answer:
Don't know anything about Pier1 ...except that it's a furniture store I think..

But I do know a couple things about group interviews. I had one, and I bombed it. Obviously, you have to stand out. This is the time to whore yourself out as much as possible. Be respectful & give others the space to talk too. You have to be witty, funny, and leave a lasting impression.

Be the first one and make a little chit-chat with the interviewer.

Smile a lot.

Get ready to do a good sales pitch, be convincing & smooth. Don't make it too long cause customers will get tired of hearing you talk too much.

Brush your teeth.

    Job Interview Questions: Don't feel to well and have a job interview?

    don't feel to well and have a job interview i kind of went out the night before but didn't have too many but still don't feel to good other words i have the s***'s should i see if i can change it or just go for it since i agreed before i went out i would turn up.

    Job Interview Tips



    Recommended Answer:
    If you find an exuse not to turn up, you can kiss the job goodbye.
    Before an interview, go to bed at your normal time, so that you fall asleep straight away.
    The bed should be in the same state as it always is - don't try to make it "extra comfortable".
    Don't drink alcohol or take any drugs before bedtime or after you wake up, except coffee or tea for breakfast.
    Eat your normal breakfast. But at least have something in your stomach, even if it's just a slice of bread.
    Polish your shoes.
    Go to the toilet before you have a shower.
    Dress for the job, i.e. when you enter the room, they must think: "That's the guy. We can see him doing the job".
    TURN UP ON TIME!
    Tell yourself how happy and relaxed you are about it all - remember, if you don't get the job, it's not the end of the world.
    If you get nervous, remember that the body and the mind are linked. You cannot relax your mind, but you can relax your body, and that will relax your mind. You do this by breathing deeply then letting you entire body relax as you breath out. Let it feel like a ring or relaxation starting at the top of you head, lowering your shoulders, and ending at your toes. Do this several times, even during the interview if necessary, you can do it almost invisibly (except to the trained eye, and that eye will regard it as a plus).

    Job Interview Follow Up - Five Simple Steps to Success


    • if you reeeeeeeally want the job, try popping some pepto and go - if it's not a HUGE deal to you, you could try calling (as early as possible), telling them you have a stomach virus (which NOBODY wants to be near!) and wondered if it's possible to reschedule.

      Good luck!

    • If you don't show up - you can forget all about that job, Bubba!
      If you're not even reliable enough to show up for an interview, then they will figure out you're not reliable enough to show up for work when they need you.

    • They probably wont like if you want to reschedule and that will ruin your chances of getting the job. Tough it out and try your best and do the interview when you supposed to.

    • well i guess it depends on how bad you want the job.it don't look to good to an employer that you cant even show up to an interview.their going to wonder how depend able are you going to be if they hire you.

    • seems like you really dont need the job since someone that wouldve really wanted it would have decided to sleep early to wake up refreshed. I say hold back and let someone else take the job. Go back to drinking

    • Tell the interviewer that if they don't give you the job you'll throw up on them.

    The 11 Cardinal Mistakes of Job Interviews



    Recommended Answer:
    They only need to see it if they are actually going to hire you, so I would assume it isn't necessary. You can always get a copy of your birth certificate, I think at your local court house, but It shouldn't be necessary.

    Hopefully this helps, Good Luck :)

    i applied for a job at the Movie Theaters & i'm wondering what to expect for the Job Interview. Because this is going to be my first job i ever had, Student Summer Job. So what might they ask & try to find out?

    How to Blow a Job Interview in Less Than Five Minutes



    Recommended Answer:
    i had an interview at the movies for my first job too lol. basically they asked the basic questions like why do you want to work here? what makes you a good choice for a place like this? stuff like that. but since it was a movie theater they want you to be talkative and friendly, they asked me things like are you good at communicating? are you a friendly person? do you work well in groups or by yourself? what are you strengths and weaknesses? they also asked me to tell them a joke and a theoretical question about a dog and the wind. as long as you seem happy and have a good sense of humor they'll think high of you... trust me...
    And dont stutter!! practice answering questions at your house with your parents because the faster response and better answer you have will make you look ALOT better

    Job Interview Questions: What should I say for this job interview question?

    What should I say in this job interview?
    I'm a 16 year old girl and I applied for a job at a clothing store.
    The store mainly provides clothes for women who are 30+ years old.
    So anyway, I have an interview this weekend and I'm not sure exactly what I should say if they ask the question
    "Why do you want to work here?"

    Job Interview Mistakes!



    Recommended Answer:
    Okay the followings are the questions asked in my recent job interview.
    * Tell me a little bit about your self (in general)
    * Please tell me about your work experience and elaborate your tasks in great details if possible
    * What makes you apply for this job?
    * How do you measure up to the criteria written on our job ads?
    * Tell me about your availability, how many hours do you expect to work in a week?
    * Where do you see yourself in 5 yrs time?
    * What quality can you bring into this organization?
    * What are your strengths and weaknesses?
    * Have you worked in a similar role as the role advertised?

    These are some of the questions that may be asked during the interviews.

    Here are my answers to the questions:

    My name is X, I am XX years and I have been living in country Y for 20 years, my hobbies are fishing, swimming and dancing and etc. etc.

    I have worked previously as a salesperson at company Z which specialise in providing B goods to consumers. Some of my tasks were to serve customers, merchandise goods and writing sales report to my manager. I did very well in my last job, infact i was the top salesperson. Unfortunately i had to leave the job because of family reasons.

    These are answers to the first 2 questions.

    Good luck and take a good care of yourself

    A Guide to the Most Evil Job Interview Questions


    • "Why do you want to work here?" is usually a question that a prospective employer asks in order to asses two things, one is whether you will fit the culture and the other is to see if you did advance research. Look up the company and find out what their core values are and see how well you fit their culture. It is a win-win answer for you. If you fit the culture, then you'll know how to reply, if you don't then you wouldn't want to work there anyways. It should have nothing to do with who the merchandise is marketed to (in this case 30+ women). Your answer should have something to do with the philosophy of the company, such as they are innovative, progressive, self-governing, or whatever.

    • The words "cart" and "horse" are spinning around in my mind here: surely you knew that before you applied, and probably answered the question in your CV, cover letter or job application form?

      If you don't know why, and are looking to invent a reason, then you are already at a loss to other applicants who do want that job at that shop: there are lots of hungry people out there at present! If you made a "just a job" application, that will tell in interview.

      The answer is research. Read about their company, that shop, your geography (ie: market); and where you want to be when you are 25+? Retail is about people engagement, marketing and detail: so what is it about them that appeals to you, and what they will add to your skill sets in those areas? Do they have a great training programme, or excellent marketing? Have you or your friends/Mums friends been there, what did they like?

      Don't make this mistake again - research the companies before applying and know what appeals/why you are applying.

      Good Luck!

    • Try the truth is better than anything you could make up,when all is said and done i sure they don't want someone who pretends to want to work there because they need someone who,and will work at their job and help raise the sales not someone who is going to get bored very quick etc the truth will win out everytime, and if your going to lie about that how can they trust you to handle money and customers,you need to make them feel that they need you more than the next person be yourself,dress accordingly adbe polite at all times

    • Tell them you why you want to work there. Something like I wish to learn about business, dealing with people, and how to sell. You also know that since this is your first job that you will learn a lot from a number of different people. You are also looking forward to having a store full of clothes to make selections from for other people. I hope this helps. Good luck.

    • You should say something like.....I would like the oppritunity to learn about fashion, and to provide great customer service, which is something that is missing in the shopping expirence....shopping for clothes should be fun and not stressful

    • Tell them the truth, Why do you want to work their. Come up with a list of 4 or 5 good reason. Such as.

      You are located close to where I live or from my school.
      I like your merchandise
      I like dealing with women who want to look nice.

    2. when answering question, make sure you don't sounds too proud

    Know Your Job Interview Skills


    • You need to focus on your stengths,

      Be yourself and be assertive,
      Answer questions in your head;
      Why do you want this job?
      Why do you think you are suited to this role?
      Have you done anything similar?
      What is marketing? (Do some research)
      Find out about the company they will ask you wat do you know about the company (sites, profit, structure, main clients, products)
      Why do you want to work for them specifically?
      What attracted you to the post?
      Where can you see yourself in the future?

      Think about all open questions;

      Reseach about the company, aims, objectives of the role, ask for person specification and job role, speak to people who you know who may work there

      Think about questions you need answered too, its a two way process, I ask things about hours, salary if not mentioned, benefits as an employee, canteen etc etc CPD and all sorts,

      Most importantly its first impressions that count too as the previous post stated look your best, get some good sleep and be prepared, write things down and don't stress, practice makes perfect

    Job Interview Questions: What are questions you've been asked in a job interview?

    I'm going in for my first job interview in a few days and I'm just a bit nervous. What are some questions you've been asked in a job interview? What are some less common ones you've been asked?

    Why Being Interviewed First Can Mean "Last" in a Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    There are too many websites that has answers for interview questions. One word of advice, do NOT read and memorize them. It will let you down in your interview.
    The most difficult question in any interview is "Tell me about yourself" or "Describe yourself". You really need to have an answer that will fetch you a job that you want. Think about this. This is where you will present your qualifications, your strengths and may be a couple weakness (that should be in your favor). Other than that, interview for freshers are not that difficult. Just be yourself and be confident. Think this way, they are not going to execute you if you answer anything wrong, so be polite, honest and do a good interview. Show a little charm in the interview, interviewers like it. Wish you goodluck, if possible, give us the good news on your recruitment.
