Job Interview Questions: This is a job interview etiquette question...?

If you worked for a company, and performed illegal actives per their order. Would this be something to mention or even boast about at a job interview?

Tips For Job Interviews - Common Job Interview Questions and Answers



Recommended Answer:
No, dont mention it and dont brag about it....
There is a common interview question that I personally have encountered twice. The question is: "would you bribe someone to get your word done if that was beneficial to the company?", and the right answer to that question is "No"

Personally, I beleive that any success that is not based on principles is just temporarily and will fade away eventually. An employer would never want to hire an unprincipled employee as well, because he will never know when he will turn against him.

Good luck in your interview.

Job Interview - Best Prep Questions


  • Did you get caught performing these illegal activities? If you didn't I would suggest you don't bring it up in a job interview. Companies don't want to hire someone who performs illegal activities, regardless if the activities were your idea or not.

  • This is an interesting question and I'd love to know your motivation for asking it. Obviously, no - it is bad etiquette, and not very smart because it is not only self incriminating but reflects badly on the person's character. Either the person has a skewed view of what employers want and misguided sense of right and wrong - or for some reason they think they are interviewing with a company that expects them to perform such activities.

    If I were interviewing this person, they certainly would not get the job.

Job Interview Questions: Is it important to wear makeup on a job interview?

I generally do not wear it out of religious convictions.

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



Recommended Answer:
I dont think so. I wear makeup everyday..even if I don't leave the house. So if I showed up to work one day without makeup, it would be weird.

If you wear makeup to a job interview, get hired, and then come to work looking like a totally different person..that would be strange.

I don't think it is important. You are prob very pretty naturally!

The Ten Secrets For a Great Job Interview


  • If you don't, then you don't.

    Although -- it depends on the position you're applying for. You cannot be a make-up consultant and not wear make-up.

    Sales generally employs good looking, attractive, fashionable people, because you deal with the public and people like to converse with and buy from attractive people (or so the industry says...) So wearing make-up may be something that could improve your chances of getting hired if it makes you appear more attractive.

  • No. Just make sure you dress for the job. If the job isn't going to involve makeup or beauty products or where looks are important(makeup artist, working at a makeup store/counter, etc) then it isn't that important.

    And since you don't wear it because of your religion, you certainly don't have to wear it.

    But if you do decide to wear it, keep it light and nautural.

  • it is definately not important. if someone hires you for your looks then is it a really a job u want? and u mentioned being religious so i wouldnt wear make up just for an interview. also, if you were to get the job, would you want to wear the makeup every day?

  • nobody wants to hire an ugly cow.
    at your work place, you want to be presentable and not make ur business look bad.
    also dress business like.
    they like to see how you care, if you dont care about how you look, theyll think youll feel the same way about your job.

  • Yes, very. But try to make it a Natural Makeup Look. Makeup makes you look younger, fresher and just much prettier. The more attractive you look, the better for you.

  • No they don't care whether you wear makeup or not. They don't like it when you wear too much though, so if you decide to wear it, keep it light.

    Good luck.

  • no unless your lookin completly washed out
    if its a bar tender job then yes its important to look good
    otherwise dont worry

  • you should wear make-up but less eye shadow and more mascara because other wise they will think ur lazy or sleepy i know i hope this works for u

  • if your religion says you cant wear makeup than get a new one you idiot!!!!!!! why should a religion opress women...thats ****** up

  • did the bible tell you that makeup is the devil?

Job Interview Questions: What color pants would you wear a black top with for a job interview?

I feel like black and gray is still too dark, and other neutrals like brown and white would look weird. Why do they even make black dress shirts or am I over thinking this?

PS. The black top I have, has very small white polka-dots. They're quite small - it's not a loud print or anything. Do you think that flair of white is enough contrast to wear the black top with black pants?

High Paying Job Interview Tips



Recommended Answer:
Khaki dress pants? Do you have a pair of *light* gray pants?

Black dress shirts tend to look good with dark wash jeans, but jeans are too casual for an interview. Brown or white pants would look weird.

I think black pants would be too much black, even with the white polka dogs.

Do you have another dress shirt? LOL

Our Six-Step Guide to a Successful Job Interview


  • my ideas:
    -Pin stripe black pants with a black/ white/ grey top
    -for what you want i would go with black pants ( job interview=formal duh! haha) but instead of your top, put some color in it! go with a blue or purple ( winter season) but if you want to go neutral go with a grey or cream plain sweater. & always add an accent of jewelry! long necklace, big ring, etc!
    hope your interview goes well! (:

  • oh it sounds like a cute shirt, I personally think that a black pant with white pinstripes would be the best option

    -hope this helps<3
    good luck with the interview, stay calm you'll do fiine

  • i think that the small white accent on the shirt is enough white in the outfit to be able to wear it with black pants.
    gray pants would look pretty too.
    or even white pants (despite what they say white is ok to wear after labor day!)

  • Well it depends on what kind of job interview it is. If its for an office job in a large building then either white top w/ black pants or black top w/ white pants (plain black is better but its your choice)

  • I think black pants would look good. You could also accessorize with a silver bracelet or necklace to break up the black.

  • you should wear khaki pants or a skirt. like the tan khaki not the color thats almost white would look good..
    or dark jeans even..
    with high heels(:

Tips For Job Interviews - Common Job Interview Questions and Answers



Recommended Answer:
A general rule is dress one notch up from what you would expect to wear while performing the job you are applying for.

Telephone Job Interview Challenges - Preparation Is the Key!


  • wear a black suit and a collar button up shirt (make sure it is a solid and light color). depending of the position you are looking for (cashier or manager). Make sure you know your resume inside and out. Be ready to explain you previous position and accomplishments. you are going to want to relate them to retail too. Make sure you talk about strengths that retailers want to hear! Examples: customer service, ability to be persuasive (sell outfits and the store credit card), and if you are computer literate (register). if you were previously a manager, make sure you can speak about the companies success.

    you should also know the type of customer nordstrom attracts and benefits they offer their customers.
    P.S. Nordstrom is on one of forbes list. you should find out which one. i think its top company to work for!

  • a very tailored black suit, white shirt underneath, great necklace but nothing too flashy, simple earrings and black heels. you always want to keep it professional and classic for the first interview.

    make sure you know your resume and some extra tidbits you can add into the conversation. its always good to have some questions to ask the interviewer at the end. make sure you have something to ask, even if you already know the answer!

        Job Interview Questions: Should I mention my new job at an open house/job interview?

        I'm attending an open house interview with a retail store tomorrow. I just started a new job last week and I wouldn't mind having another job. When I go to this open house, or any job interview, do I mention I have a job? If so, How to convince them that I can work both jobs or that I will leave my old job if they (new job) pay is without making it look bad (that I will leave a job for another job if they offer more)? Or does it really matter?

        5 Helpful Rules to Successful Job Interviewing



        Recommended Answer:
        It might matter to them or it might not. I would say they might take someone who does not have any job at all before someone who does. So if you want another job, unless they ask you personally, I wouldn't tell them. You might be able to convince them you can do both, and hopefully the other job will offer more $ money!
