Job Interviews - Six Blunders to Avoid
Recommended Answer:The rule of thumb is to dress at least one level above the one you're applying for, so in your case, I'd say slacks, dress shirt or polo, leather shoes, everything clean and pressed. No cologne or strong deodorant, limited jewelry, especially piercings.
All the normal job interview good ideas apply: smile frequently, make solid eye contact, and have a firm, dry handshake. I assume it's a customer service position you're applying for, so the smile may be the most important as it shows confidence and a positive attitude. I've gotten several jobs by following my mom's advice and being nice to everyone I meet on a job interview and making a point to thank everyone you come in contact with, even secretaries and receptionists because they are the people that bosses go to get opinions on potential new employees.
A note about interview questions: never say anything negative about anything and use every question as an opportunity to show them your strong suits. If they ask you if you have any faults, and I'm pretty sure you're like the rest of us and have a few, always have an answer ready that is actually a positive, like, "I sometimes expect others to care as much about doing a good job as I do." Something that is true for you and applies to a store like Aerospitale. You can find a lot of sample interview questions at Monster, www.monster.com along with excellent articles that cover all aspects of the job search.
Have good posture, don't put anything on the desk or table without asking, don't fidget, and if you don't know the answer to something, don't go ramble off on a tangent. Keep your responses brief, to the point, but thorough.
The main thing is to try to relax, because you've already done the hard part, which is getting the interview. Now you just have to show them how great you'd be in their store. It's the one time that bragging is not only acceptable, it's almost required. Don't forget to smile.
Smiling Your Way to Success in a Phone Job Interview
- I am not familiar with aeropstale. Depending on what the store is like will depend on how you should dress. On top of that, never dress too casual. Always look somewhat nice and presentable. besides that, just be calm and positive towards yourself when answering questions.
- wear casual but nice clothes. dont wear tennis shoes. be shaved and groomed. try to anticipate questions and have a ready answer for the interviewer. try to be relaxed and project confidence.
- don't wear aeropostale clothing or you'll look like a suck up
