Job Interview Questions: Job Interview, Went OKAY, Did Not Say They Would Call?

I just had a job interview. They had 2 people interviewing me, it was the whole good cop bad cop situation. They asked me 6 questions and then said okay thank you that's all for today. Didn't say they would call or anything. Any thoughts??

Tips For Job Interviews - Information You Need to Know



Recommended Answer:
Hi Devin,

Aren't employers inconsiderate jerks these days? They think because there's so many people out there looking for jobs that they can be as rude and disrespectful as they want and get away with it.
They'll say, "I'll call you tomorrow and set up an interview with you" and then we'll wait by the phone all day long only to realize they lied and aren't going to call.
They'll have you jump through hoops to get a job only to drop you like yesterdays trash without any explanation whatsoever.
Employers are truly at their worst right now and are the saddest excuse for human beings we have slithering around among us.

I honestly think it means their not interested, sorry. If you call them and ask them about your hiring status they'll probably get pissed and blow you off.

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


  • Means absolutely "sheet".
    But it will cost you nothing if you will call them instead.
    1. if they give you a polite answer, like "we will notify you if is the case", then hold your breath.
    2. if they say "is already filled", then you move to another opportunity.
    3. if they say "can you come for a second interview", then you are lucky.

    Anyway, maybe the person who is really in charge (and they want that opinion too) is not at the location, or they want to open a project in a month or two and there is no rush, and so on.
    Next time you ask them about the time frame they have, ok?

Job Interview Questions: How bad did I fail during the job interview?

One of the questions she asked was what do you know about our company and I completely forgot to research the company so my answer was "To be hones I did not research the company and I really don't know. Did I ruin my chances of getting the job?

Job Interview Techniques - How to Crack the Interview Code



Recommended Answer:
I would say your chances are slim to none of getting the job. If you were on the other side wouldn't you want to feel like the person at least cared enough to prepare? Even if you had the best intententions how can you expect them to think you are going to show up to work prepared if you can't take five minutes out of your day to pick a few bullet points about the company?

With so many people out of work right now, you need to set yourself apart from the rest; not self yourself back.

Job Interview - Top Tips When Preparing for a Job Interview


  • That really depends on the company and the job. If you're at McDonalds or Walmart, they probably don't care, and are just looking for warm bodies. At a small business of some sort, they probably don't care because they're small, and they're just looking to gauge what you do know. The only time I'd be worried about that sort of thing is at a medium sized company who are looking for passionate people to expand the brand. I don't think this answer really hurt you in the long run.

  • Always, always, go to an interview fully prepared which means you should care enough to do a little research. You probably blew the interview but you can learn from your mistake.

    Job Interview Questions: Job Interview at Fast Food Restaurant?

    I am going for a job interview at a fast food restaurant in the next few days and I am wondering what happens when you get there. Everybody is saying to get there 15 minutes early. If I do get there 15 minutes early what happens? Do I go in and ask a cashier for the manager? Or do I wait until the exact time and then go ask the cashier? Or will the interviewer come out and ask for me? I really don't know what to expect!

    Job Interviewing Techniques - 8 Steps for Successful Interviews



    Recommended Answer:
    Don't get there 15 minutes early. I worked at a fast food place and had an interview there. I just got there 3 minutes early, went up to the cashier, but theres usually a manager hanging around the counter anyway so they were expecting me and just said hi to me, led me to where you sit and eat and we had the interview there. Seriously don't even worry about it- as long as you smile and dont look unhygienic they'll hire you.

    Job Interview Tips


    • Go there and let the manager know you're there. He/she will come out when theyr'e ready.

    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!

    You should wait at least two weeks before they get back to you. If they don't, give them a call and ask if they were still hiring. They'll let you know if they're still sorting through resumes or the interview process is already over.

        Job Interview Success - Make Them Hire You!



        Recommended Answer:
        Be calm and relaxed, make regular eye contact, be polite and be yourself - they like someone who they can tell is being natural.
        Regarding questions - be curious about how the company runs, so for example ask:-
        (1) How many deliveries per week do they get?
        (2) Is all the stock delivered from a central warehouse? Where is that? Or from different suppliers?
        (3) How often do they have a stocktake?
        (4) What are the bestsellers?
        One question usually leads to another, if they ask why you're asking - you're just interested.
        Good luck!

        Answering Interview Questions - How to Make the Right Impression in Your Job Interview


        • Well if they ask about your previous employers never give them too much information and keep your answers short and close them on a high note.

          Ask if it is a temp position
          ask if you will be doing multiple jobs on the same shift
          if they hire you on the spot ask if you can get a "tour"


          Honestly if you have to schmooze them enough where it looks like your being honest but no BS

        • Dress professionally [in something like slacks and a dress shirt] and try to go a bit early. It helps to research the company so you know a bit about them and can ask informed questions. As for the interview itself, try to anticipate your answers to common interview questions, as it may help you during the actual interview.
