Job Interview Questions: What do I wear to my job interview?

I am applying at a veterinary hospital to take care of the animals while they are sick and stay there for a period over time. What do I wear to the interview? I am 14/male.

Top 7 Ways to Prepare For a Successful Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
I always wear a suit to any job interview.

I guess you could wear business casual. Perhaps dockers, a button up white dress shirt, and a tie. With dress shoes.

Career Change Job Search: Job Interview Tips!


  • Normally, you wear an outfit that is appropriate for the job above the one you're applying for, but it might be a little different in your case. You absolutely don't want to wear what you would when you're performing the duties that you're applying for, so you should go with something neat, professional, and that you're comfortable in. Slacks, nice shoes, and a button down shirt. Maybe a nice sweater if it's cold where you are, and I wouldn't necessarily wear a tie, though you certainly could. Make sure everything is clean and your shoes are polished. In spite of all that, you don't have to dress up, just be neat and tidy. It might make a slight difference if you're in Beverly Hills or somewhere a little more rustic, but you want to appear competent and respectful. Don't forget to shave.

    Make eye contact, have a firm handshake, answer questions thoroughly but don't ramble, don't complain or say anything negative, smile frequently, and let the interviewer know how caring and responsible you are. Emphasize your many strong suits and how you can be a valuable addition to their team. Don't forget to be positive in all respects and thank everyone you talk to for the opportunity to discuss the position with them. The fact that you spelled and punctuated your question shows that you're way ahead of most people your age (or the ones that post questions here for that matter) and I think you'll do well. Good luck, and I was probably kidding about shaving.

  • Dress for the job you are applying for. But neat. Jeans, good ones. shirt, good work shoes, leather. rubber soled. cotton socks.

  • You can never go wrong with a nice shirt and a tie. In order to tell what style of tie is in watch the news anchors on TV.

  • just wear nice jeans and a nice shirt, no tie

  • good question.......google it u'll find some good tips.

Job Interview Questions: I finally got the job interview! what should i wear?

I'm 15 years old and i live in chicago. I am going to be moving to los angelas in summer of 2011! Until then i have to go to a couple of job interviews to make sure i am perfectly suited to get it! It is a modeling career for Seventeen Magazine Tm. Any thoughts on what i should wear?

How to Ensure You Fail Your Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Hmm...even though you're going in for a modeling job, you still want to look professional. Try to be conservative with your choice, but since it is modeling keep that in mind. If it's cold where you're at a classic black dress, tights, and heels is always a good choice.
Remember that although they're hiring you for your looks, what they really want to do is sell a certain brand's clothes or marketing something else. What I mean is wear something that's attractive, but not too distracting: no dizzying prints, not a ton of makeup, etc; keep the slate clean, but slightly polished!
Finally, a nice touch is to look at last month's issue and wear something following the latest trends they write about. That way you appear researched and that you really care to get the job.
Best of luck in your interview!!

The Best Job Interview Tips To Help You Get Hired Fast


  • Considering it will be pretty warm and it is a Teen mag, I would say a below the knee, sundress would be good. Possibly a halter top type of dress. That will show off your arms and legs in a suitable way. As far as should, some nice wedge sandals or sandal flats would be good.

  • Normally, the rule is to dress as if you were going to work there. For a modeling position, be sure to show off your assets.

Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview tomorrow, what should i do?

This is my first interview ever and its at Target. Ive only had one job and it only lasted 2 months in 2009. I have no costumer service experience at all. I don't know what to bring or say besides "I know I can do the job". How long do interviews last?
Advice???

The Physician Job Interview - Essential Tips for Success



Recommended Answer:
Don't stay up too late and get some breakfast tomorrow (does not have to be a huge meal, but don't go on an empty stomach). You didn't tell us what kind of job you are applying for.

Dress appropriately. If you are a guy, wear a suit. If you don't have a suit, wear a shirt and tie. If you are a woman, wear a woman's suit (like a guy's suit but with a matching skirt instead of pants). If you don't have a suit, wear a dress. You can also wear a fancy blouse and a skirt (not too short). Do not wear jeans or work out clothes. Don't overdo the perfume/cologne.

You cannot memorize answers because you don't know what they are going to ask.

They are likely to ask about any previous work experience and also why you left your previous job. They will also ask you what you have been doing between 2009-2011. They might ask you what your eventual career goal is. Other questions: what do you do for fun? How would you handle this situation (a customer comes in and complains that the tv he bought doesn't work. He then starts yelling that it's junk and why does the store sell junk?).

I cannot tell you what to say bc there are so many questions they can ask you. But hopefully these examples might give you food for thought. How long do interviews last? Anywhere from 10 minutes to 1 hour.

Secret Career Document - The Nine Magic Job Interview Hints (Get Hired Fast)!


  • Dress nice but casual, they wear khakis and polo's at Target so wear something like slacks or a nice pair of jeans and a polo or button down shirt.

    interviewss last 5-10 minutes, if they offer you a drink say no thank you, you're not going to be there long enough to drink it.

    Don't chew gum, don't go in smelling like smoke.

    Be nice, smile, sit up straight and give a firm handshake.

    Speak clearly and confidently and don't use a lot of slang.

    If they ask why you want the job, don't say you need it, say something like Target is a place you shop at, you're familiar with the products and you think you'd do well there.

    If they ask why you weren't at your last job long think of something diplomatic to say, don't talk smack about your previous employer, but don'y say anything that would reflect badly on you.

    My favorite excuse for having left my previous employer was always I needed to care for a sick relative (lol)

  • Just be calm and truthful relax and breath. Tell them you wi try your hardest because that's All they can ask for from you

Job Interview Questions: Tips for first job interview?

I have a job interview, I'm so nervous. I'm 16 if that matters. I've been applying for jobs for months, & finally I've got an interview. Does anyone have any tips? Questions they may ask. Also I have something called OJE interview, does anyone no what this is.

Job Interview Success



Recommended Answer:
Here are a few suggestions that might help.

Sit down with your parents and do a practice interview. Your parents have a good idea of what will be asked.

Dress to impress. Even if it is a low quality job, dress like you want the job. I will always hire someone dressed better then the other.

Be honest. It is better to be honest and open with your interviewer.

Identify qualities that would make you good at this job. Sell those qualities to your interviewer. You more than likely will be asked "scenario question". Use these opportunities to sell your strengths.

Dont be nervous.

Well I hope you do well. Best of luck.

Job Interview Advice Everyone Can Use


  • To add a few more comments, try to go on the company's website and do a little research about the company and the products/services they sell. This will be especially impressive considering that you're only 16. Be positive, don't discuss your personal life (unless asked), tell them that your salary is "negotiable," and don't tell them you want the job because you "need the money"- act like you want the job because the position and the company interest you. Also express a desire to learn and to gain experience.

    Good luck!!

Job Interview Questions: Job interview and asked me for a curriculum vitae?

I just graduated from high school and I applied for a job at a coffee shop (holly's). My interview is tomorrow and they asked me to bring a curriculum vitae but I don't have one. What do I do?

Recommended Answer:
That is the British phrase meaning "resume". It is actually Latin. Write out you job experience and education. Hand it over. Don't spend more than 10 minutes on it.

Job Interview Tips For You-Five Tips To Instantly Increase Your Success Rate


  • Your curriculum vitae is like a resume, but jacked up on steroids. From latin, it means "The course of my life." It is a more in-depth resume (which I would suggest you bring, also).

    It is kind of an in-depth education information sheet. Instead of the simple abbreviated form (the resume) with basic info, like where you want to school, your GPA, and the dates, you'd also add things like specific classes, awards, etc.

    For a coffee shop, I'd bring a resume and maybe make a simple curriculum vitae from templates found on google. You obviously don't have a ton of life experience or college, but you have some from high school that could be useful. Don't worry if you don't have a four page CV-- fresh out of high school, you might barely get to two.

    Google/Yahoo a search for a curriculum vitae, and use the links I've provided to help you. I admit, I've never made one, but I've made a couple of fairly detailed resumes that could count as CVs when asked.

  • It is a list of classes you have taken. See if your school can provide your transcripts.

Job Interview Questions: Job Interview - What do i say when they ask why are you leaving your job?

I have a job interview tomorrow at a law firm being a admin assistant. What I'm doing now is the same thing basically, same duties but I am leaving because I want a full-time position with a better pay which they are offering. When the interviewer asks me why do I want to leave? What should I say? How should I phrase it in a very professional way, that I am leaving due to more hours & better pay?

Thanks in advance.

The Importance of the Job Interview in Canada



Recommended Answer:
I always sit second chair at our law firm's interviews. I am the sole paralegal in our firm and my boss values my opinion. With that said, we never ask why you left. We try not to put people on the spot. If you are asked this question, I would leave out the part about pay. It's kind of taboo to speak or bring up money matters in an interview unless the interviewer brings it up.

I would say, "I feel I've outgrown my position at ABC Company and am looking for the opportunity to grow professionally with a different company."

If they inquire why you've felt you have outgrown your position, that is when you can mention that the position was only part-time and you want more for your career. I would leave the better pay out of it. That's just a bonus :)

Some Sound Job Interview Advice


  • You say, that you want a better range of job opportunities that do not exist with your current employers, the possibility of advancement, to take more responsibility is the primary reason for your approaching them, for the job in question.

    The opportunity for a career, rather than "just a job", is your motivation, There is nothing wrong with ambition, and saying so to an interviewer, tells them that you are more likely to actually do something without needing to be told, to progress both your career, and their business enterprise, this willingness to work for a purpose, is the quality they seek, not just someone who will simply watch the clock, while they wait to go home...

    .

  • You are currently working part time and seeking full time employment. Leave out better pay, b/c that tells them you'll jump ship if someone else comes along offering even more. Seeking FT employment kind of already says you are looking for more money.

  • Tell the interviewer you're wanting to further your career by seeking better opportunties.

Job Interview Questions: What are the do's and don'ts for a job interview?

I'm just curious to know what you should do during a job interview, a long with what you shouldn't do at a job interview?

Useful Tips in Handling Job Interviews



Recommended Answer:
Here are some very general do's and dont's:

Do's:
- Be polite to everyone even the receptionist (doesn't matter it they are rude, doesn't condone you being rude, and you never know it could be a test to see how you react)
- Dress appropriately
- Be prepared - almost all interviews will ask you to tell them what you know of the company/job - do your research. Employers are not impressed by people who have no clue about the company and/or the job they are applying for.
- Ask questions at the end - interviewers like it when people ask questions - it shows interest. However, if you really don't have any questions (for instance, you felt everything was covered) don't ask a question for the sake of it. Just say, I was going to ask ...... however that was covered earlier.
- Be yourself - don't try to be someone you think they are looking for. When seeking employees, companies are looking for someone that can not only do the job but someone who will fit into the culture of the company. And besides it is easy to tell when people are pretending to be something they are not.

Don't

- In the interview, don't critice previous employers/work colleagues. Doesn't matter if they were in the wrong, if you bi*ch about them it doesn't look good on you.
- Don't ask about pay in the interview, this should be saved until you are offered the job. If however they ask you about pay (e.g. how much do you think we should pay you) feel free to respond. Provide a good valid reason though for how much you feel you deserve (e.g. prior experience certainly warrants pay higher up the scale)
- Don't be late - if you are running late ring the company and tell them how late you are going to be and why you are running late.
