Job Interview Questions: Job Interview help, for young applicant.?

I was just wondering, would it be a good idea or maybe leave a better impression to wear a dress shirt and a tie to a job interview? Even if it is somewhere like tropical smoothie. I'm only 16 so I really haven't had very many job interviews and I'm trying to do my best.

Job Interview Questions: How Do I Introduce A Nickname During A Job Interview?

I have a job interview at red lobster today (so its not like a formal interview) but I was just wondering how I'm supposed to introduce it? I really hate my legal name and I don't want to take the chance of waiting until (or if) I get hired to tell them because by then they probably would have already made me a name tag.....

Take a Look at Some Useful Job Interview Tips


  • As they greet you and shake hands you say, "John Smith, but I go by Jimmy."

    Or, "Joh smith, but I prefer to be called Jimmy."

    Or whatever your names are in this case.

  • When introducing yourself say: Hi my name is __________________but I go by ____________________.

  • When you first meet the interviewer, shake their hand and say "Hi, I'm (nickname)".

  • I agree with all of these answers. Just don't be forceful about having to use a nickname, or even have a friend stop by and call you by the name, it could catch on a little bit.

  • Hi I'm Beverly but I go by Bev.... I've said that a million times!

Job Interviews -- The Four Worst Objections You'll Face and How to Deal with Them



Recommended Answer:
It probably depends on what technology area you are focused on but you may want to focus on creativity rather than just technical strength. In general (using broad generalizations), straight A students are not the most creative. They may work the hardest or be good at studying and learning facts at least long enough to do well on tests but this is not a measure of creative thinking. You certainly want employees who are passionate about the subject/technology/etc. There are psychology tests that aim to measure creativity and there common traits shared by many creative people but I don't think there is any one method for identifying who will be a successful inventor.
