Job Interview Questions: Job interview questions?

I have a group job interview coming up for a sales assistant position in Retail. Can anybody think of any questions I can have prepared just incase? Something I can ask the interviewer about the job, I can't really think of anything good. Any ideas?

10 Job Interview Mistakes to Avoid

Recommended Answer:
A lot depends on what kind of retail enviroment and product/s it is, but here are some broad suggestions.

1. Tell them you're interested in being an excellent saleperson, not just a good one. What would be their definition of an excellent salesperson in the context of this business?
2. Ask them to tell you more about the history and philosophy of the business. But do your own homework on this beforehand as much as you can. Best question is one where you raise a point you've researched, and ask them to explain it.
3. What are the things they believe would prohibit you from doing the best you can in the role?
4. Tell them you think understanding the customer is very important, so can they tell you about who would be a good example of a valuable customer? A typical customer?

Appearance Matters in Job Interviewing

Job Interview Questions: Missed call for job interview. Do I still have a chance?

I submitted an application for a job on Wednesday and received a call for an interview on Friday. They wanted to interview me by phone on Monday. Unfortunately, I was very busy during my shift at work when the call came in on my cell phone, so I didn't see the missed call until after 5:00 PM that day. Have I lost all hopes of getting this job, or is it worthwhile to call the interview first thing Monday to apologize and reiterate my interest? What should I say?

10 Job Interview Mistakes to Avoid

Recommended Answer:
In the future, it would be best to call back when you do get the missed call, on Friday night in this case. It's fine to miss a call (in fact, saying that you couldn't take it because you were committed to your work should be seen as a good thing for a future employer), but you need to follow up on it quickly.

You should call today and leave a message indicating your interest, apologizing that you weren't able to answer the call on Friday, and say what times you would be available on Monday to have this phone interview. In your message, also state that you will call Monday morning to finalize plans for the phone interview.

Then on Monday morning, you can call again, and they'll hopefully be ready to move forward.

Job Interview Tips That Will Land You Your Dream Job

• Call first thing monday morning and reiterate your interest. Explain that you missed the call and did not realize it until after 5pm. If they left a message tell them you received the message and you are returning their call. If they left a name ask to speak to that person. Good Luck


• Sorry, but if you can't even make an interview appointment you won't get the job.


• Call first thing Monday, Explain that you were at work and could not take the time, then make an appointment.


• adding to what PaulRN said, that would show ur dedicated but be ready next time they call!!

Job Interview Questions: Is it OK to email a follow-up to a job interview?

I interviewed for a position almost three weeks ago, and the interviewer had told me he'd contact me within one or two weeks. Obviously, I have to contact him since he didn't contact me yet, but here's the thing: He never called me, but set up the interview, etc, via email. Do I have to call when I ask about his decision, or is email enough?

What to Do When Your Job Interviewer is Distracted - And You Want This Job

Recommended Answer:
Did you send a thank you note to the interviewer after? You can contact them now, but it seems unlikely you are under serious consideration. For future reference, keep in mind that sometimes a thank you note makes all the difference in the decision making process. Some decision makers I have heard don't even consider the applicants that did not bother to follow up properly and professionally.

How to Face a Job Interview Successfully

• Hey
  
  The fact he hasn't got back in touch with you when he said he would might indicate either you haven't been successful or they are still in the process of interviewing or making a decision.
  
  I don't see the problem with emailing him, if this is how the initial interview was set up then id just email him. Plus saves embarrassment of being told you've not got the job if that's the case if you did ring!


• most of the time when they dont call you back that means they are still looking for someone else and your an option or you just didnt fit for the job. you shouldnt email you should call every two days it shows that you want to work, and that you need a job. it does not make you look desperate.


• if the previous correspondence was via email I don't see any problem with emailing to ask for a follow up. email is becoming more standard for that kind of thing now

Job Interview Techniques - How to Crack the Interview Code

• If you are getting a job interview with no work experience, congratulations!
  
  What you need to demonstrate through your answers to questions are how you will be able to deliver results, despite lack of experience.
  
  Think about various situations where you may have done some relevant experience and the results you were able to do.
  
  For instance, I don't know what type of work this is about, so I will use a generic example.
  
  Let's say you are starting at the bottom rung in the company (be willing to take a lower job to gain experience) and this is a receptionist job....what you share is a example of how you were able to handle a busy situation with a lot of issues vying for your attention and how you completed 15 projects that day while juggling about 200 phone calls all with a smile on your face.


• It will be a challenge because you are bound to be up against people with a proven track record in the field. Your best bet would be to write to the kinds of companies you want to work for and see if they can offer you any work experience. It would be unpaid but if you do a good job they would most likely offer you a job. Most of the time it's not what you know it's who you know so doing work experience is a good opportunity to meet people who can further your career.


• Emphasize on your degree and how ear ger you are to learn. Best Wishes.

fingers crossed for you!

5 Types of Job Interviews

• They will definitely ask you about your experience-be truthful. It will be glaringly obvious if you try to act as if you know more than you do.
  Don't worry about knowing enough either-many places have their own ideas and would rather train someone to them instead of hiring a know-it-all.
  Use good body language-do not cross your arms across your chest.
  Do lean toward the interviewer when speaking-look them in the eye when answering questions, but don't stare at them.
  Make sure you have some questions to ask them about the facility-that shows interest. It would be good if you had a little background on them too.
  Good luck!


• Make sure you interview THEM as much as they interview YOU! Ask them exactly what you'll be doing. If your goal is to trade work for lessons, make sure it is clear how many hours you need to work to get how many lessons. If you hope to learn more about training, tell them and ask if there will opportunities to add more skills. If you want to learn more about breeding, ask if there is an opportunity to do that.
  
  Make sure you get all YOUR questions answered. Don't want the job so bad that you say you'll "do anything." You could end up painting the washroom.
  
  Again, be VERY clear to yourself and them why you want this job and what you expect to get out of it - money, lessons, experience.


• They might ask a few of the following questions. How many years have you been riding? What kind of schedule would you be able to work for them? And perhaps, What is your knoledge regarding breeding? You should probably wear riding breeches and a nice polo shirt (tucked in). Always answer truthfully and never brag!


• First, you need to relax and not worry. Interviews are something you'll be dealing with and facing for the rest of your life, as long as you are working. There are some rules you need to follow for horse industry type jobs, just as there are with other kinds of jobs. First and foremost is to think about how you'll present yourself. You stated that this facility you're interested in is a nice one. That means you need to look as if you belong there when you go to interview- and that means dressing the part and following the rules of good grooming. Your clothing should be neat and clean in appearance, and you should dress the way you would if you were actually working on the job you're interviewing for. For groom or stablehand positions, this typically means you'll wear jeans and a shirt, or perhaps jeans, a shirt, and a vest or sweater if it's chilly out. Whatever you end up wearing, it MUST be neat, clean, and free of wrinkles or holes. This is NOT the time to wear your favorite pair of ripped, stonewashed jeans. Your shirt or blouse needs to be tucked in, and if the jeans are loose in the waist, you need to wear a belt. Avoid wearing anything that is a potential distraction for the interviewer, such as dangling jewelry, perfume or body mist ( many people have serious allergies to perfumes) or rings in inappropriate places like your mouth, nose, tongue,or lips. Prospective MALE employees need to be CLEAN SHAVEN prior to going on any interview, whether in the horse business or not. Long hair on either gender should be neatly contained or tied back. Make sure your hands are clean, and your fingernails trimmed neatly. Male employees should NOT wear earrings, period. When choosing footwear, keep in mind that you are interviewing for a stable job, not going to the beach or to a party with your friends. Wear what you would wear on the job, and make sure that your boots or work shoes are clean and in good shape.
  
  Other tips for interviewing: Make sure that you arrive for the interview ON TIME or even a few minutes early. If you don't know where to park or where the stable office is, then call and get directions ahead of time. ( You need to make sure that you have the stable's phone number anyway, just in case something happens on the way over and you are delayed.) I can't stress the importance of being punctual enough- there is no bigger way to TURN OFF a prospective employer than to show up late for the interview. Leave your cellphone in the car or set it to vibrate, and LEAVE YOUR IPOD AT HOME. Having headphones on while attempting interview for a job is extremely disrespectful and RUDE, and it's a mistake you don't want to make. Make sure that you give the interviewer a pleasant greeting and a firm handshake. Make eye contact, but DON'T STARE. Have a notebook and pen with you so you can write down things like contact information. You should also have a list of questions about the job prepared ahead of time. Do your homework about your employer. Find out in advance what his or her name is and what his or her bio and history are. Be prepared to answer questions about your experiences, your time schedule ( meaning what hours are you available to work) and your expectations of the job. You may also be asked about your education, and whether or not you're in school. YOU should ask if the interviewer has a written job description available for the position you're interested in. You should also come prepared with a written resume- you can go online to get resume writing tips. Keep it short- no more than one page- and make sure that you proofread it and use the spellcheck before you print it out to give to your employer. At some point, you may be asked about your salary expectations. If this happens, you can simply respond that you are flexible about compensation. DON'T make pay demands or say that you won't work there unless you get such and such amount in salary. That never works, and worse, it makes you look desperate and clingy, which is something you want to avoid. Finally, one last tip: make sure that you go to bed early the night before your interview, and DON'T leave the house the next morning without eating a good breakfast. Treat the interview like an important exam in school. You need the energy from food to be able to concentrate, and there's nothing more embarrassing to both you and the interviewer than a growling stomach. Plus, hunger is very distracting- people tend to say things they don't mean when they are hungry. Make sure that you are honest at all times about what you can and can't do. Employers like honesty- and they also like to see evidence of maturity and self motivation on their employees' part. Self motivation means that you do what's required without being prompted. It also means that you know how to think on your feet. Sit up straight during the interview. If you're a woman, cross your legs at the ANKLE, not across your lap when sitting. If you get invited to tour the barn, use the time to look around and ask questions about the routine and where things are kept. Make sure you walk and stand with good posture- don't slouch or shuffle along. Pick your feet up and act like you're proud to be there. Above all, SMILE !! This is an interview, NOT an interogation. Remember that there are no stupid questions when interviewing- the only stupid question is the one you probably forgot to ask.
  
  Good luck- I hope these tips help you out.

Recommended Answer:

The Ten Rules For a Great Job Interview

• I'd go with some chino/dress pants and a sports jacket/blazer.
  NO tie, no pocket square because you don't want to look like you want to replace the manager. Still, a certain degree of formality is required.
  
  Make sure your clothes fit you well. If they're too big, take them to the tailors for adjustments. No need to wear colors that are too bold - you're NOT trying to make a fashion statement.
  
  If the guy who is interviewing you is dressed much poorer than you, that may go against you. So, if you could do your own research about who's going to interview you, you could also choose you're clothing based on that.
  
  As far as colors are concerned, stick to black,white, gray, navy, pale yellow or dark blue. Mix and match them and you're good to go.
  
  Good luck!


• If I were you, I would wear something casual, but dressy.
  But this all depends on how you naturally look. A nice, light colored, short sleeved blouse is usually the way to go, With maybe a pair of skinny jeans, or dress-pants. But, If you don't like the look of that, you could probably wear a dressy shirt with a pretty floral pattern.
  Also; Remember, make sure your makeup (if you wear makeup) is not too harsh.


• don't wear jeans but don't go over dressed. A pair of dressier pants and a polo Shirt would be safe and match with the impression you want to give.


• Slacks and a dress shirt dress nice for intercross even if you don't have to for the job


• buttoned shirt
