Job Interview Questions: Should I wear my house arrest electronic bracelet to my job interview? What if it starts to beep?

I am really hoping to be hired as the assistant pastor at this church.

5 Top Tips For Handling Telephone Job Interviews



Recommended Answer:
It's a perfect situation! First of all,they'll never have to drug test you,the State will do it for them! Secondly,if they need to reach you when you're not working,they'll know where you'll be! Hey,it might even count as community service! How could they NOT hire you? Who could write a better sermon on the pitfalls of getting caught? Usually,by the time a Pastor learns about how bad a thing getting caught is,they're removed from the pulpit anyway. You'd be the perfect guy to teach God's children the importance of covering one's tracks! It's a match made in Heaven!

Job Interviews - What Am I Doing Wrong?


  • you could just come out and be honest and tell your perspective employer..as i am sure they will ask you anyways..as well as many ask for a blood and urine sample these days and a signed agreement by you for them to have your credit checked.

  • Yeah you should wear the electronic bracelet.

    Now you and the head pastor will probably have something in common.

  • you obviously cant stay out of trouble since you have a electronic bracelet yet you want to work at a churh as a pastor?

    LOL

  • haha

  • NP call the Parish and ask for a pastoral visit have them come to u!

TYPES OF QUESTIONS

Open-ended Questions
- Used by interviewers when they expect more than a yes or no answer. Some typical open questions are: "What can you tell me about yourself?", "Why are you interested in the posted position?" or "What are your most remarkable skills?".

The best way to answer these questions is by doing the right research before going to the interview (check your own resume and the organization website) and by making a list of possible open-ended questions so you can rehearsal your answers before the interview.

Closed-ended Questions
– Used by interviewers when they need to know a specific piece of information (years of experience, technical knowledge, etc.). These questions require a brief and solid answer.

The best way to deal with these questions is by reviewing and making sure you don't have any doubts about your background and CV details. If the question requires a yes/no answer then always try to add a brief piece of valuable information to the answer. For example: "Are you experienced teaching children?" – "Yes. I have 4 years of experience and I think they have been really rewarding".

Hypothetical Questions
– Used by interviewers to assess your problem-solving skills and to make sure you do have enough experience in the field to be able to face day-to-day problems. Of course, reply speed is also assessed.

The best way to face these questions is by having all the required information so you do not give plain, meaningless answers. The best way to gather info is by asking follow-up questions before answering.

Leading Questions
– These questions are assumptive ("So, you have a lot of experience in the Customer Service Area, don´t you?). The idea of leading questions is to get a specific response from the interviewee ("yes, as you can see in my CV, I worked as a receptionist for 7 years and…").

The only way to answer these questions is by not being caught off your guard. That is: Listen carefully and process questions before you answer them. The interviewer may be asking a leading question with a negative emphasis ("it must have been really difficult to get along with your boss as a salesman"). Always go for positive answers.

Multi-Barreled Questions
– They check your reasoning skills. These questions are linked in such way that suddenly what seems to be one question are actually two or three questions about the same topic.

First of all, remember that they are checking your reasoning skills so do not give an answer unless you truly understand the questions. Do not fear to ask the interviewer to either repeat or rephrase his/her question.

Behavioral Questions
– Used by interviewers to check the behavior of candidates. This type of question states that the best way to know what a candidate will do is by knowing what he/she did in a similar situation in the past.

It is important to be completely honest when asked a question about a past experience, interviewers will ask for more and more details and it would be impossible to keep a lie going on. The best way to prepare yourself for these questions is by doing all possible research: What the company wants and what skills are required for the position. Get an Informational Interview to get and insight of the posted position.

Job Interview Questions: I was told that I would be getting a call back sometime late last week or early this week after job interview?

And it is Tuesday and I have yet to receive a call. Can I call them back? If I do what should I say? It's only for a part time job at the mall, so it's not some huge career thing, but I need a job!!! Thanks a lot!

5 Job Interview Answers to Avoid



Recommended Answer:
Just give them a call, let them know you put in an application and would like to know the status. Ask directly for the Human Resources (HR) dept, they will usually call you back.

How to Follow Up After a Job Interview: Recommendations on What to Say After an Interview


  • Call them or go in person.
    This happened to me last year.
    They called and said they would be calling me for an interview later in the week.
    I'd call and they would say someone would call me back.
    I called a few times, same thing.
    I should have just gone in but I didn't have gas to be on a goose chase when I needed a job.

  • You can always wait a little longer, if they don't call back you can call and just say you had an interview and they have yet to call you back. Or you can e-mail them with the questions?

The Values That You Should Have in a Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Hi Johny,

Sounds like a life guard position,i guess..

Just be calm and show that you really interested to the job like simply tell the interviewer that you love defence and security,Since the job not like most jobs, it is kind of public defence or any sort of protective agency.Other things you must be prepared to do some research of the agency at least the achievement it has contributed and then show your eagerness to be part of them.

Other than that of course you should prepared you stamina too.Probably they test you sort of physical test first,after pass that test only then they interview you.Last,be punctual.

Ok until then,Good luck!

No Time To Prepare For The Job Interview?


  • Focus your questions about the job you are interviewing for. Don't ask too much about things like benefits and when they will be making a decision about the position - those are sort of mundane questions. What you want to do is be able to follow up on your question with something to reinforce how good a fit you are for the position.

    For instance, if you ask "What are the possible career ladders that this position may open up within your organization?" (It implies that you want to be there a long time) and, whatever the answer is, you can say "I'm very excited by this field and hope to be able to use this position to grow within my career."

    Hope that helps!

Job Interview Questions: What are the "rules" in rescheduling a job interview?

My city got 20 + inches of snow today (Wed) and today and tomorrow the city is pretty much shut down.. My interview is on Friday and i'm afraid I wont be able to make it because of the amount of snow removal we have to do. Any thoughts on rescheduling interviews?

Discriminatory Job Interview Questions to Avoid



Recommended Answer:
Do you live in the North or the South? If you live in the North, that snow will be gone by Friday. If you live in the South, leave your house an early, drive 10 below the speed limit, and be a cautious driver. Unless everybody's power out, there's no reason to miss an interview because of weather. It's a test of how you would do on the job anyway. If something's hard, would you just do it later? Your future employer hopes not.

10 Job Interview Tips That Will Help You Make a Good Impression


  • You should call tomorrow and let them know your status. Ask about the possibility of rescheduling if it becomes a problem. There should be no problem if it is a reasonable company.

  • Get up early and hike in your suit and dress shoes. Messy but worth it.Think of it this way-after you get the job you'll be able to afford a new pair of dogs to put up on your brand new davenport!!

  • They live in the same city you do. If they can get to work, you can get to the interview.

Job Interview Questions: How can I get prepared for a job interview?

I am being interviewed on Sunday for a job at the Springdale 18 Cinema de Lux. How should I dress, what questions should I be ready for, and what else do I need to know? Thanks

Job Interview Tips That Deliver



Recommended Answer:
Firstly, don't stress. Interviews really aren't that bad! Now - To answer the rest of your questions:

Dress:
For this interview, I'd go smart casual - leaning more towards the "smart" side of it. So, for girls: A nice black skirt/pants with a blouse and smart ballet flats/heels. Or something to that equivalent. For a guy: Black dress pants, a button up shirt and dress shoes. Please don't make the fatal mistake of wearing white socks with black pants and shoes. They notice that kind of stuff.
It's important to be comfortable in what you choose to wear, but just make sure it looks professional and not scruffy. So, polish your shoes, iron your clothes etc.

Questions:
Most interviewers ask typical questions like "Why do you want to work for us?"
"What can you bring to the team?"
"Tell us about a time you've handled a difficult customer?"
"What drew you to the position?"

They will essentially ask you to tell them why you're more suitable for this position than everyone else they're interviewing.

Anything else you need to know:
A few tips:
1. They read body language. Don't sit slouched over, or say "Um" "like" or "y'know" a lot. Be eloquent. Pay attention and smile frequently.
2. Do some research on the company if you don't know much about it. Look at their website, look at whether or not they have any current deals - this shows that you're actually interested in the job.
3. Make eye contact with the person/people who are conducting the interview. Most employers are looking for a person who won't freak out when a customer/client talks to them.
4. Make a list of any questions that you have for the employer. If you don't understand something - ask them. Try and avoid discussing what you will get paid - that's for later on.
5. Get a good nights sleep the night before the interview. Just chillax before you go in - I like listening to some good tunes on my ipod - that way I don't get nervous.

I'm sure you'll do really well - Go get 'em and Good luck!!! x

      Job Interview Questions: Is it ok to wear a suit and tie to a job interview?

      The interview is for a tour guide job at a local state park. Ideally I would be conducting boat tours if I got the job. I want to look nice, but I don't want to overdress. Thoughts?

      Job Interview Help - Some Things That Might Help You Ace Your Job Interview



      Recommended Answer:
      The interview is probably the first time the employer gets to meet with you personally. As a result, you want to give him or her the best visual impression of you that is possible. Wearing a suit and tie will accomplish this.
      Wearing a tuxedo would be over dressing.

      Five Tips to Nailing Your Job Interview


      • Absolutely. i had a friend who wanted to work at a Auto shop fixing cars and he showed up in his work clothes.he did not get the job beacuse of that.

      • OK? I thought it was expected.

      • Your supposed to be dressed so that if the job was offered to you on the spot you
        would be ready. Nobody loses out on a job interview dressing up; but that is because
        by removing the coat and tie you could dress down which might be required if you
        were to start that day. Keep a comfortable pair of shoes in your car too

      • Is it OK? As a supervisor myself,if you DIDN'T show up dressed like that- and I don't care if the job included scraping bird poop off the side walk. You may not realize it but your future employer is looking at you from head to toe. It is going to cost him/her money to train you and at the same time this person is wondering how are you going to put some coin into his/her pocket.

      • I just cringed when I read that. Yes, please wear a suit and tie. All interviews are business formal and should be dressed for properly. Just because lots of people dress down doesn't mean we all have to lower our standards.

      Job Interview Questions: If you're in the middle of a job interview and the potential boss says...?

      I had a job interview at a restaurant for a hostess position, I can work any hours, and the two managers were extremely relaxed and were making fun of each other and everything. Let's just say it wasn't your typical interview. Anyway, if in the middle of the interview, the main manager says, "Well, I'll definitely call you." what does that mean? Like does it mean that they'll definitely hire me or that they'll call me whether I get the job or not?? Also, the interview was like 25 minutes long, and was more in conversation form, than nothing but questions.

      Job Search Strategies - Seven Kinds of Job Interviews


      • I'd wear a clean, white button up shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbow, and some nice Black or Denim slacks (pants) You need everything to be clean and smell good! Don't over do it with cologne or anything, just a light spray on the neck and wrists are enough. But being clean, presentable and social is important in the interview. Be nice, no attitude no matter what, and stare into their eyes when they speak! Good luck!

        :)

        -S

      • Not really sure, but its always better to over-dress than under-dress. I work in the jewelry industry and see people in jeans and button downs or people wearing thousand dollar suits every day.

      • Get an outfit completely of the clothes they sell and layer it on.

            Don't fidget or act like your nervous.
            In a group interview you are usually with 3-6 other people you usually all sit together and the boss asks everyone the same question one by one. Basically groups interview are a lot easier because it's all done at once instead of being done individually. They also might give you a situation and ask you all as a team to find a solution in which this is your chance to shine, show leadership skills, if someone is shy and not participating ask them their opinion.
