Job Interview Advice - Dos and Don'ts For Your Big Day



Recommended Answer:
ideally you shouldnt wear jeans and sneakers. but if you cant afford a new outfit just try to look as neat and clean as possible. dark jeans and shoes, light shirt. maybe you can even bring up the subject of your outfit during the interview, apologizing for not dressing a little more appropriately and that you would dress better if you had the clothing. i wouldnt worry about it too much; its a fast food place, not a bank

Job Interview


  • Just try looking your best don't over do your make up or hair. Honestly what is most important is how you answer whatever questions are asked and be honest they're job is to hire someone that would be a good employee for there business not a bad one that they like. And remember eye contact and when the interview is over have a good firm handshake and don't forget to thank them either. Good luck. :)

  • i would wear a nice dress and curl my hair, put a little make up on. they want to make sure you are pretty and fresh, want someone young, energetic, and talkative-good personality or outgoing

  • Certainly not jeans. You should never wear jeans to an interview. They will look down at you. Maybe some nice black pants, Black leather enclosed shoes and a nice button up shirt.
    Sounds like you need to go shopping.
    Sneakers or uggs will look really bad. :(

  • your church clothes

Job Interview Questions: Should i go to a Vector Job interview or is it a scam?

i got a random call from Vector-the company that sells knives and things- is it even worth going? I have done research and everything i come across says it is not worth is because i will end up paying more for the job than i would get paid. Should i cancel because i dont want to waste my time?

Job Interview Success: 6 Tips to Get You the Job You Want



Recommended Answer:
I went to one of their meeting couple of years ago. They will ask you for $500 deposit for the set of knives that you will take out to show your clients. Don't do it. It's just a scam. It doesn't even look good on a resume. My friend did it so that he can put a sales experience on his resume but it doesn't even count.

What You Need to Know About Job Interview Questions


  • I've heard the same thing. I've seen people say that they could make decent money selling the knives, but that going to the mandatory weekly meetings ate up time and gas money to the point where it was not worth participating.

    I'm sure some people have a good experience with it, but it's not for everybody. I wouldn't go if you don't think you could be successful at selling the knives. And if you think you would be good, you'd definitely want to make them tell you up front about any mandatory meetings before you sign the dotted line.

  • its not a scam i went to the interview about 6 months ago. its legit. the only thing is that your selling knives and kitchen stuff. there's a catch. in the job posting they make it sound like a customer service job, which it kind of is, but your really just like a door to door salesmen ON YOUR OWN selling stuff...you know how hard that is? who will welcome you in to there house with a bag full of knives? you can sell to local restaurants and stuff but if you cant sell, your stuck without money. the good thing is if you don't make money they don't fire you and in there office they show postings of peoples profits on the board. some people make crazy money. they do have really good products, they demonstrate them all to you during the group interview, but this kind of job is only for hardcore door to door salesmen. it wasn't for me i got hired but when i found this out i called them back to say never mind...

  • My cousin did it. It's not worth it.

  • its a scam

Job Interview Questions: How would I dress "professionally" for a job interview at a clothing department store?

I don't understand if I'm suppose to dress business professionally or to dress nice. I don't really have any else besides a dress suit, so that might be a little much. By the way, the interview is for Kohls.

The Inevitable Job Interview Question: "Why Did You Leave (Are Planning To Leave) Your Last Position



Recommended Answer:
The rule of thumb is to always dress one step higher than the position you are applying for. Wear the suit, but don't actually wear the jacket, simply have it with you. Make sure your appearance is neat, tidy and would reflect well on the store for which you would be a representative.

Questions to Ask in the Job Interview - How to Nail Your Job Interview


  • A dress suit might be a bit too much. Try maybe the pants with the suit and a dress blouse in a bright fashionable color. Some ruffles might be nice too. Bring the jacket folded up nicely in a bag and leave it in a large purse or your car. If it's professional, you can always grab it.

Job Interview Secret - A Positive Closing in the Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Why interview for a job your parent doesn't want you to have, and thus likely wouldn't allow you to work even if they agreed to hire you?

Don't waste your time or the interviewers time, unless you would be allowed to work the job if it was offered to you. In other words, get your mom to okay you working if they want to hire you.

As for ditching school, as long as you aren't missing any important classes then I see no issue in that regard.

Tell Me About Yourself - Job Interview Answers


  • i think that it is worth going to the interview because that means if you do get the job you will have some cash flow hahaha.
    even if your mom doesnt want you to have the job, its your decison, but i dont think that you will get into that much trouble, just write a note or something and get exscused.

  • When I was at school/college they allowed you to have the morning or afternoon off if you told them you had an interview to attend. Just inform the school of where you are going and it should all be fine since they can't exactly stop you. Good luck with the interview~

How To Shine At Your Next Job Interview


  • Yes, try to plan for some shut eye before you go. Be sure your personal hygiene
    has been maintained (shower, teeth, deodorant, hair care.) Dress in business appropriate attire such as khaki pants, no jeans. I would choose a button-down freshly pressed shirt, tucked in. Clean tennis shoes are o.k., but better would be a loafer-type shoe. Be joyful, pleasant and sincerely interested in the job you want.

    Job Interview Questions: Should I bring in a cover letter with my resume for my job interview?

    I applied at Subway and today a lady called me saying I had a job interview for tomorrow morning. I applied online and they never asked for a resume, but should I bring one in anyways when I go to the interview? And should I bring in a cover letter for it? If so, what types of things should I write on a cover letter for a job I already got an interview for? Thanks!!

    Job Interview Skills: Four Critical Mistakes to Avoid!



    Recommended Answer:
    You should bring a resume in case they ask for it, and perhaps even mention at some point that you brought a resume. They might not even want one, because the point of the resume is to give them all the details of your education and work experience, and these things are not as important in this kind of job. They want to interview you to see if you're the kind of person they want to hire--cheerful, clean and well-groomed, willing to work hard, good with people.

    The point of the cover letter is to 'introduce' the resume. But if you hand it to the interviewer and say 'This is my resume', that's introduction enough. If they even want it, it will go in the file with your application and perhaps the notes of the person who interviewed you.

    Prepare for a Great Job Interview With These Questions and Answers


    • I don't think it matters too much for subway to be honest with you.
      Typically you have a cover letter with a resume you are leaving with a receptionist or secretary for the employer to read.

      When being interviewed personally it is redundant to have a cover letter attached, since you are right there for the employer to ask questions.

    Job Interview Questions: How do you ace a job interview?

    I was just wondering how you really impress the interviewer when your in a job interview? I thought I did my best at a job interview but she didn't call me or anything. I hope next interview I do better.

    10 Biggest Job Interviewing Mistakes



    Recommended Answer:
    There isn't really a particular thing that you can do to ensure you'll get the job. Interviewers can be vastly different in terms of their personalities and level of experience. Different people will find different things impressive. Some people will focus on your attitude or professionalism, others will not pay attention to anything except the content of your answers.

    Many times it is not about whether you did your best - sometimes it has to do with your qualifications, versus the other candidates. If another applicant has more experience, more training, certifications, etc, then there isn't too much you can say in the interview to get the job.

    I would suggest you just do what you can to prepare - this means researching the company online, and also practicing with common interview questions and thinking about how you would answer them. Then just be yourself. It's not only about getting an offer, it's about finding a company where you will fit in, and they will value the unique mix of skills and knowledge that you bring to the table.

    Job Interview - How Your Body Language Can Affect Your Interview


    • im surprised those other 2 answers didnt mention what is, in my opinion, the most important thing..... interview questions!!! now, i dont mean the questions that they ask you.... no need to prepare for those. i mean, you should prepare a list of questions that YOU can ask to the interviewer. if at the end of the interview they say "do you have any questions?" and you have none, good luck getting hired. asking questions is important for a few reasons. first, it shows that you are truly interested. if you ask questions about the company industry, they will know you have done some research about the related industry. ask some questions about the company history, and also the job that youre being interviewed for. ask about specific tasks, and feel free to share your experiences if they relate to the job at hand. come prepared with a notepad with 10-20 questions on it. really, this makes a HUGE difference and im always surprised to see a question with 4 or 5 answers.... and none of them suggest making a list of questions!!!

      good luck!

    • First impression: Be dressed professionally (suit); give a firm handshake, and exchange business cards.

      Be prepared to answer every question by giving specific examples of how it relates to your experience and/or education.

      Never badmouth a former boss, coworker, or company.

      Don't ask about salary, vacation or benefits. let them bring it up.

      Don't reveal personal information.

    • Confidence is the key. Unless you have the one qualification that they must have and no one else can match. The way to get the confidence is to go on lots of interviews. When you have attended 10, you realize that the interviewer is nervous, too. She doesn't want to make a mistake.

    Job Interview Questions: What should a teenager wear for a job interview?

    I'm going for a job interview tomorrow, for a position as a camp counselor. The interviews are being held at a local rec center, where there will be kids playing games. My family thinks I should go with black and white business attire (I'll be wearing those clothes anyway, I have to attend something before), but my friends think nice jeans will be fine. I don't want to appear overly dressy, considering the place, but i want to make a good impressions. Any ideas?

    How to Amaze With an Impressive Answer to Job Interview Questions



    Recommended Answer:
    Dress for the job! If the job requires you to wear non-slip shoes and black slacks, wear that! If you are unsure, a collared shirt and slacks will suffice. There is no such thing as "overly dressy", you just may not want to wear a tux to a McDonald's interview.

    Got Through First Job Interview? Now Win the Second Job Interview


    • Only overkill would be a suit and tie. Always dress above the job you are applying for. Id suggest khaki pants(dockers) and a nice polo shirt or long sleeve suit shirt, Belt and appropriate shoes.

    • It's a job interview...wear smart attire. A suit etc. Whether it's applying for Mcdonalds or the biggest corporation in the world you wear a suit!

    • Business attire might be overkill, but jeans are too casual. A nice pair of slacks would be ok.
