Job Interviewing - Say This, Don't Say That - Part 1



Recommended Answer:
First of all, you must wear formal clothes, i mean u must dress up. They won't expect you to wear jeans and T-shirt. Second of all, i suggest, go in front of the mirror and practice what you're going to say, it includes 'greetings you are going to exchange', 'they way you sit and your body language' , and more importantly 'what you gonna answer'. Ask yourself every possible question that you might you and then answer them with great calmness. And even must beware of the fact that Interviewer can understand whether you have self-confidence or not, so keep your facial expressions calm and take it easy. They are just interviewers not Death Angels!
Hope i helped:)

Job Interview Techniques Tips - What Techniques For Job Interviews Do You Need?


  • GCFLearnFree.org has free tutorials on how to prepare for interviews: www.gcflearnfree.org/interviewski… It includes instructional text, informational graphics, examples, and even interactives for you to practice what you've learned/actually apply what you've learned. It discusses what you should wear to an interview and what questions you can anticipate being asked.

    It's best to wear professional clothes to an interview, even if the attire you would wear during employment is much more casual. Something fitting for an office environment, so dress slacks, dress shoes, a nice blouse, tasteful jewelry, clean, neat hair and general clean and tidy appearance. They want to see that you are energetic, have an engaging personality, and are interested in the job, so don't be too quiet or laid back.

    If you need additional help for things like writing a resume or job searching, there are tutorials for that as well: www.gcflearnfree.org/career

    Hope it helps and Good Luck!

Job Interview Questions: What should I wear to a job interview for a lifeguard?

Everyone dresses casually there, but I still don't really know what to wear. I have a lot of varsity swimmers t-shirts and athletic clothes, but I also have a lot of nice clothes too.

Job Interview Strategies That Work - Create Your Perfect Interview Movie



Recommended Answer:
Dress for the job you WANT, not the job you have. Watch old Baywatch episodes to get a good idea what they wear. LOL

Wear something nice, like you might wear to a casual church service or if your parents were taking you to a play, concert or show. Be sure, however, that you are comfortable.

As far as the team clothing, leave them at home. Your resume/ application and interview will tell the boss about your qualifications. how you present yourself tells the world more about YOU.

Job Interview Skills: Can You Communicate on the Phone?


  • I guess the interviewer should be dressed in casual too. So you just might need to be casual but still with the looks of respecting the interview(maybe not too overly seducing or something).
    Shirts that shows water events or some sort of lifeguard-related shirt is a good sign says that :"Hey im qualified to be a LIFEGUARD!"

    Good luck on your interview

  • So im thinking that your a girl

    Dont wear something to revealing that will turn on guys

    Like a bikini with a love of cleavage showing

    Probably a Bikini under a T-Shirt and some Athletic Shorts

3. Sample of questions they will ask to me and also the answers.
4. Any additional tips.

A Guide to the Most Evil Job Interview Questions



Recommended Answer:
As a general rule, you should go into the store and see the clothes that management wears. Then copy them. Second best is what the help wears.

Strengths? Responsibility, honesty, good with math, speed, not lazy, willing and able to do well all that's asked of you, fast learner, upbeat personality.

Questions? That's too hard since all hiring managers have their own set of questions. A common one is why you want to work at their store or why you chose their company. Basically, all answers should give the impression that you are the type of person that they'd like and enjoy having working alongside them, you're a team player, and that you will be working there long term (more than a month or two or three) if you like it there. Employers generally don't like turnover. It's a pain and expensive for the company.

Light up the room and the interviewer's mood when you go for the interview, and give a nice firm, friendly handshake.

You're not interviewing for the position of CEO or anything close, so whether or not you get hired will be 95% based on your apparent personality. So pay close attention to conveying the characteristics I mentioned above and getting hired should be a piece o' cake.

Good luck, Black. :-)

    10 Biggest Job Interviewing Mistakes



    Recommended Answer:
    You should always aim for "Business Casual" at most places, unless it's a high-end corporation. Business casual means slacks or a skirt, nicer shoes, and a blouse or a shirt with a collar. If you have long hair, have it contained in a ponytail or bun of some sort.

    What to Do Before, During and After a Job Interview


    • Dress like as if you where going to church. But if u dont. well dress good.

    • Dress up, better to over dress then under dress

    Job Interview Questions: Tips for my job interview (door-to-door sales)?

    I have a job interview for the position of door-to-door saleperson for a telecommunications company. I've never had a job before, and I have no marketing experience.

    Has anyone worked as a salesperson before? What sort of things do they ask in the interview? Can anyone give me tips for the job itself?

    Job Interview Skills: Four Critical Mistakes to Avoid!



    Recommended Answer:
    In "direct selling" there are a number of contributing factors to being successful. I will mention two of them. Very often, in a "direct selling" company, they will have a sales system (perhaps even a script) for the sales rep to follow. My advice is to follow the system as perfectly as possible. The reason is that it has been tried many times and most likely works much better than a person relying on their own "selling skills." The second piece of advice is that "door-to-door" selling is a game of numbers. It can be very frustrating, but if you know what your "conversion rates" are to be and you "hit enough doors," you will find that it will pay off.

      A Guide To Common Job Interview Questions And Answers


      • In order for you to have the drug test you would of had to of signed a form agreeing to pay for it. If you are going to receive a paycheck from the company then they will charge you because the company will have to pay for it. I am in HR and have to do background checks on all of our sales reps. We have a list of backgrounds that we pull and if the person never starts then we can't charge them, if they even work one day then we will. We have to pay $50 per background to Choice Point the company that we use, and if we don't charge the employee we would be out the money.

      Job Interview Questions: If an employer at a job interview specifically tells you not to dress up for your interview, should you anyway?

      I have an interview Friday with an employment agency for a position they are recruiting for for another company. In our email exchange the recruiter said not to dress up because they will be casual that day. Is this a test to see if I will/won't dress up? I don't want to offend the recruiter but usually I wear suits for interviews (and I currently do have a job as a professional). Any advice?

      Recommended Answer:
      Do not dress up. Go in business casual. If you dress up you will stick out like a sore thumb and the interviewer will know instantly you don't listen well....

      How to Set Up Job Interviews Without a Resume!


      • I would do business casual. Everybody has a different idea of what "casual" means, and based on something saying "don't dress up," I would say that usually means "don't wear a suit." Wearing something like khaki pants and a polo shirt or button up shirt should fall within the guidelines, since many people dress like that normally, so it's sort of a baseline for "business casual." You want to appear neatly dressed, but not like you are trying to make the people around you look bad. I wouldn't wear jeans, because that is usually too casual for anything other than a job like retail.

      • A test, to see if you can follow instructions, is a real possibility. Leave your jacket in the car and apologize at the introduction, because you were instructed not to wear a suit. If this segues into an immediate second interview, you can ask about recovering the jacket. You don't want to continue making excuses as you advance to the ultimate decision maker.

      • Follow what they say. Doing so will show them that you can follow directions. It is not a test. If I were you, I'd wear jeans (iron them so it looks crisp) and a nice shirt. That way you look good and comfortable. Don't wear a tshirt.

      Common Job Interview Mistakes



      Recommended Answer:
      You will need to become familiar with their store policies. I've added a link for you to their customer service page of their website. Read through it and pay attention to the links on the left side for more information as well. Come up with a list of questions that might relate to your duties behind the jewelry counter and how you might handle certain situations as they would apply to the policies you've already read up on. This will let them know you are eager ot work there and are a self-motivated, "go getter" and wont sit back and wait to be told what to do and will impress them.

      You should also become familiar with their products, price ranges and payment options (including how customers obtain credit) so that you can assist customers to purchase things that they like to ensure you make the sale. I've also provided a link to their jewelry page of their website.

      Ask what the salary range is and if it's an hourly pay only or pay plus commission and if their is an employee discount. I would also ask about their benefits (insurance, etc.) as this is all part of your overall compensation package. Don't stress too much on this area though. You want to find this out.

      Ask the interviewer how long "they" have been with the company and what type of long term future you could have with JC Penny. This will give them comfort that you are not just looking for a quick buck and something to put on your resume and might leave them in a short amount of time, leaving them to start over with the hiring process, but rather will be a long term and dedicated/loyal employee that is career minded and has potential to move into Management one day.

      Dress appropriately and be positive. Smile and be friendly and show them you are easy to talk to and would be able to interact positively with customers.

      Good luck on your interview! I'm sure you'll do fantastic!

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

      I am sixteen and I have my first job interview tomorrow. It an interview at Jump On In (a place where kids have birthday parties). The job I am applying for requires a uniform but I'm nervous about what to wear to the actual interview. I don't have man dressy clothes. I own sneakers, sandals, jeans, tshirts, and sweatshirts. I have some nice v neck shirts but I know you shouldn't wear jeans.. Please help!

      If Job Interviews Scare the Snot Out of You



      Recommended Answer:
      What really matters in a job interview is stuff like:

      1) How you handle yourself
      2) How you come across in why you want the job, will you be reliable, how responsible are you. Stuff along this line.
      3) As for clothing: It needs to be CLEAN and NEAT! Everything else is secondary.

      Honest story: I interviewed for a job with Cray Research, Inc. This was a programming job paying in the $40K range during the early 1980s. (I did get the job and ended up making $125K.) The airline lost my bags and I had to interview wearing the clothes I wore on the plane. They were clean and neat. What was I wearing? Black/Black slip-on sneakers, Levi-501, a Prison t-Shirt, socks, underwear, etc.

      I'm not recommending you wear prison clothes, but what mattered was me and I held myself. Your clothing helps to present how you hold yourself. You can go with sneakers, but make them as laid back as possible. I recommend people wear Vans Black/Black slip-on, Converse Monochrome (all Black), etc. Try to avoid White, Basketball sneakers, etc.

      If you have dress shoes, sure wear them, but laid back sneakers should work.

        How to Face a Job Interview Successfully

        Job Interview Questions: Is this question appropriate for a job interview?

        How to Get Your Dream Job - The 3 Step Job Interview Process



        Recommended Answer:
        Probably not. Their hiring process is their domain, and employers are very sensitive about the proceedings for liability reasons. Besides, you need not worry about the competition, anyhow, since you're confident that you are the best candidate. Confidence in yourself is job #1 when being interviewed.

        • Nothing wrong with that.

        • That's perfectly OK to ask that question. It'll help you get a realistic view of your chances for getting the job, and the interviewer will understand that.

        • Nothing unethical about it, it might seem to them, however, that you are worried that the other people that are applying are better than you and you don't even know them. That is to say that anyone might be better than you. This might make you look like you are not the best person for the job if you are showing you are worried about other candidates.

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



        Recommended Answer:
        I spent the last couple weeks interviewing people for an entry level bookkeeping position. Make good eye contact, try not to fidget around a whole lot, be prepared to answer at least one somewhat dumb question, try not to get off on unrelated tangents when answering a question, try not to interject a lot of personal info (especially personal problems) into your answers, and be sure to bring a couple extra resumes with you along with a small note pad and a pen in case you want to take a couple notes of your own. Try to remember what your interviewing for, if it's a professional job then dress and act the part. Don't be nervous, don't try to embellish anything, and if you have difficulty answering a question it's better to just ask for a moment and see if you can move forward a question or two until something comes to mind, don't just sit there saying um.

        Job Interview Basics: Reduce Stress Build Confidence!


        • Good question!

          Try to understand what the employer is looking for. At your age, they don't expect much experience and skill, but they are looking for certain things: Reliability, good work habits, positive attitude and in most cases appearance that will be appropriate for the job and business. You will want to dress in a way that would be considered good for the position you apply for. Respond to questions clearly, and stick to the subject.

          In an interview- you are the merchant, selling yourself. The employer is a shopper, trying to find something that will fill his needs. Help him see that you can do that, and he will change from shopper to customer, and buy your services.
