How to Prepare Yourself for a Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
It's good to mention a bad quality you once had and how it was important in getting past it or how you have learned from it. OR answering with a bad quality that is small and that will have no effect on your job.

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

• Don't. If asked what are your weaknesses, say, "We all have them but I really can't think of any that would affect the way I do my job." If they persist, talk about a minor weakness that you HAD but have OVERCOME and how you overcame it.


• Instead of saying "perfectionist", which to some can have a negative connotation, say you "pay attention to detail" and "hold yourself to a high standard".


• You can't say 'no' to people. You never take time out for yourself.

Job Interview Questions: When on a job interview, what's the best way to answer?

Let's say you have a job and you are looking for a new one. You may not like your work environment or you are looking for a job with better pay. So you land an interview. The person looks at your resume and says " What is your reason for leaving the XYZ Company" What would be the best way to answer that question besides something like "Well I need more money"..even though that may be true but it doesn't sound very professional.

Job Interview Cheat Sheet - Top 6 Questions & Mental Strategies

Recommended Answer:
"I'll be completely honest with you. The reason why I left the XYZ Company is because I felt that it was a place where my potential was not able to show and did not give me a chance to grow. But I feel as though this job provides both of those aspects that ultimately offer me a constructive workplace."

Job Interviews Should Be As Easy As Trying on a Pair of Shoes

• Well, you could try the honest route and admit that, while you like your job (the work itself, not necessarily the environment, but you don't have to say that) you really can no longer afford to accept the low wage and are looking to take your experience from XYZ into an environment that more suits your skills.
  Or that you've always seen XYZ as a stepping stone to more ambitious projects like ABC (the interviewing company). Or that you felt that XYZ didn't offer the opportunities for advancement that ABC does and you felt it was time to move on? Or that you've always aspired to the position offered here at ABC and when you saw the job opening, couldn't help but jump at the chance despite already being employed with XYZ... follow your dream, right?
  
  Be as honest as you can... if you never dreamed of working for ABC, then don't claim that you've always dreamed of it... but you can use rephrasing to make otherwise "unprofessional" sounding motives sound positive. Avoid complaining about your current employer under any circumstances! Try to use your reason to point to something positive about yourself, such as ambition, pluck, self-awareness, loyalty, experience or a need for greater challenge etc.
  -Scarlet


• Be truthful first. And positive. Say: I feel I've gone as far as I can with XYZ (and give one or two examples of your outstanding achievements). Or I feel my talents/ qualities (and name some, like persistence, taking the initiative, being able to work well unsupervised or as part of a team or as leader of a project...that sort of thing) would be a real asset for XYZ, or XYZ more closely fits my abilities and aspirations (again naming some concrete skills and ambitions).
  By staying positive and not dissing your current employer, you demonstrate that you can be loyal and are not a whiner or complainer.
  If they point blank ask you why you're leaving XYZ, say in addition to the above, the benefits at your company are also -- also, but not only -- an incentive.
  Whatever you do, don't lie!


• "I feel I have accomplished as much as I could at XYZ and your company could help me achieve more" would be a good answer. Whatever you do don't badmouth your old job or co-workers. It makes you look like a conflictive person.


• "I am looking for something better"
  "I need something more challenging"


• I need a job where i can grow and expand my potential, some thing that will turn into a career and i can advance my career


• Say something like "There were limited opportunities to advance my career with that company."


• oh yes, lie during your interview. that'll land you a job.

Job Interview Questions: Should there be a job interview through yahoo messenger?

I was applied for this Accounting position online.I sent a resume and after 1 week I received an email telling me they would like to interview me through yahoo messenger. Just then I realized it is a work from home type of job. They never give me the company phone number or location or anything like that. The company called " Global Data Entry". I was wondering is anyone know about thing at all???

The CAR Method Is An Effective Job Interview Technique

Recommended Answer:
Never heard of it but if they ask you for money they aren' to be trusted.

Instead, why not sell your unwanted stuff on ebay. When you get the hang of it you can offer to sell other people's unwanted stuff on ebay.
All you need from them is what they would want to get for it, (when you are good you will tell them what they will get for it) take a photo of it then when it sells, go there, pay them the money keeping your cut then post the item off.

How to Succeed at Your Job Interview

• I've actually heard some good things about on line interviews. They save time, money and cut down on travel expenses. Of course, you have to be careful about who you're dealing with and how much personal information you give out.
  
  Also, there should be some kind of way that you can reach the company AND the interviewer through a number under the company's name and taken out of a phone book. I understand the interviewer wouldn't be in the book, but a call to the company and being transferred to Human Resources, then the interviewer would suffice, no?
  
  I would insist upon these conditions before going through with the interview and barring any trouble there, why not? This is the twenty-first century, by the way.


• By all means No. do not do an interview through Yahoo! Messenger.
  Please Read the Below information I've researched for you.

Job Interview Questions: Appropriate outfit for a job interview to work with children or homelessness?

I realize it depends on the organization, but I'm a recent college grad, applying to as many jobs as I can. I don't have time to visit all of them before an interview.
If I get an interview, should I wear a suit, or just dress pants and a button up blouse? Or something else? Honestly, I have no clue!
Note: this is East Coast, Virginia.

Job Interview Weaknesses - How to Overcome These Common Job Interview Weaknesses

Recommended Answer:
A suit is always appropriate for an interview, skirt suit or pants suit doesn't matter, as long as it fits well and is not provocative. Dress pants and a button up blouse is too casual for the interview. That may be what you wear to the job, but not to the interview. As for shoes, wear some that are safe and comfortable for walking in case you are taken on a tour of the facility.

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

• dress pants and a button up blouse, but not TOO fancy. my mom owns a food bank in my town she HATES it when someone comes in for an interview wearing fancy things. you're trying to help the poor, why would you dress like your rich in fancy suits? and do you think children would wanna talk, play, and listen to you if you're wearing something so formal? cause if you wear something so formal to an interview, the people are gonna think "hey, she dresses like that all the time!" the human mind just works like that.
  
  i would really recommend wearing a dress shirt and leggings that go to your ankles, and cute sandals. dressy, but also casual.
  (it it seems sluttish to wear leggings under a shirt to you, wear jeggings)

Job Interview Tips - First Impressions Count and Appearance Is a Big Part of the Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
Don't really go and say that your an avid gamer, they may think that you will lead a customer away from a game just because you hate it (e.g. Modern Warfare 2).

It really depends on the management when it comes to the end, some may like arrogant, cocky people, others don't like smart-asses, but people they can rather trust. Don't take the risk, just go with the latter and do what you normally would for an interview.

Overall, at my local EB games, they would just ask questions situation-based, acting as if they were the customer looking or asking for something.

Job Interview Questions: Tips for a hands-on/ on-the-job interview?

I have a 4 hour interview this week. I passed the first group-stage and now I have a unique situation- it is an on-the-job interview.

Does anyone have any tips for me on this?

How to Prepare for a Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
OK, well good news then! You passed stage1, which is where you showed the basic skills they need you to show to be considered part of their team. Now on to the practical.

On the job interviews are often used by employers to see if you actually do have the skills you claim, and how you address the key core tasks of the job. They are used most often by:
- creative arts and crafts employers, those where core application of skills and output is essential (ie: cooking, design)
- team work is core to the job, such as in the military
- high-brand employers, where the essentials of customer service and decorum are core to the brand. Harrods love them!

They are also used by companies seeking to employ executives, normally at a third stage once you have passed any initial tests and interviews, and socially meet key board members. As a small employer, we do this with all our potential new hires, giving them the opportunity to come and see how we work for a morning or an afternoon - that's the way it is sold to them, but it is really just an extended interview.

You need to look at the job advert again, and if you have time ask the employer for a copy of the job description. The advert is derived from the job description, and its your ability to undertake the core skills that are being assessed. You might want to undertake some practise (ie: hiring a baker, so bake some bread!), or some pre-thought (last minute creativity never works). Secondly, look at the companies website and public information, and see what type of culture they have: small and friendly, off beat, by the rules corporate? That's the second level of assessment, as in will you actually fit in with our team?

I have seen on the job interviews where by the employer exploits the job applicant, and asks them to do the job for the entire interview period. It is quite common in low paid jobs, such as waitressing, where by the employer gains a whole member of staff for free just by rotating a series of job applicants. They then ask for a third and fourth on the job interview, etc! If they ask you to do the job, do make sure that you are covered by their insurances - yes, specifically ask: hate to see a job applicant lose a finger or a life, or be sued by a customer. One on the job interview should be enough, and if you do the job for more than half the time then expect to be "paid" something, which in all likely hood will be a gift in gratitude as opposed to cash.

Make sure the interview has both process and purpose within their employment procedure, and if you are unclear about the outcome then call the HR contact and ask. These types of interviews often have multiple outcomes depending on the type of skill/application you show. For instance, if they like you but don't think you have the right level of skill, then you could be offered another (lesser) job - again, another not uncommon outcome.

In summary, be prepared to do what the core job description asks of you, and be aware that they will assess whether or not you are one of them. Practise core skills if necessary, and think about the types of work they could ask you to do. Make sure you know the duration and outcomes of the process, and be prepared for a formal sit-down interview at the end of the process; so have some questions prepared, and ask for feedback.

This as I said at the start is a good sign, so - Good Luck!

Job Interview Questions: What things frustrate you? (when asked this in a job interview)?

I was asked this in a job interview and some of the question were based on a personality profile they had me do of 200 questions. I'm not sure how they got that Q or what they were looking for but most of the things that came to mind that frustrate me were not appropriate for the job. Any truth would not have gone in my favour, it was merely bullet points with no room for the interviewer to write notes.
What would you have said or not said?

Nifty Tips For Winning a Job Interview - A Must Look

Recommended Answer:
You didn't give any questions to answer for you.

My frustrating questions:
Tell me about yourself.
What can you do for this company? Don't really know since I don't know what is needed for the job yet.
How would you handle a situation as they give a scenario? Don't know that because there are too many variables.
What do dislike in a boss?
What have you done that you were not asked to do? So many things that I can't think of a great one.

All questions require alot of preparation and when they ask some off the wall questions, it is tough to think of something quickly because of being nervous in an interview anyway.

Many questions are asked to determine your personality and if you will fit well with the team. Some I believe are asked in different ways to see if you will give the same answer or if you are lying.

200 questions is going overboard and no one wants to have to answer that many questions. I would expect something like that if I was getting hired for a government position such as the FBI or CIA.

Job Interview Questions: Wearing a wedding ring to job interview?

I am going for a job interview for a receptionist to a roofing company today. Do you think that I should wear my wedding ring?

Job Interview Dress Code - Dressing for Success

Recommended Answer:
Unfortunately there are still employers around who are reluctant to employ young married women for fear they will get pregnant, go on maternity leave and expect lots of payouts.
I would avoid wearing your ring but if asked if you are married you must be honest if they find out you lied at the interview it could be grounds for dismissal.

Good luck

God knows what behavious may abound in the office environment. Check oput www.bestonlinebeatmaker.com for loads of great advice and help on interviews. Best of luck though

The Secret Revealed Behind Tricks That Interviewers Use During Job Interviews

• To succeed in interviews plan and prepare properly.
  
  First research the Company, the job and what you will expect to do. An inevitable question is "What do you know about the company" - an answer that suggests you know something about the organisation, the markets they work in, the size of the industry etc will demonstrate that you have researched the Company and are taking the interview seriously.
  
  Also, think of several answers to standard interview questions beforehand - eg. what is your biggest career success to date, why you are looking for a career in xyz, why did you choose certain subjects to study etc. Preparing answers beforehand will make you feel more confident and that will come across.
  
  There are plenty of websites and books that offer advice on interview answers - my suggestion is to read them/look at the sites. Every bit of planning beforehand will make you look stronger and you will feel more confident and relaxed, and again that will show.
  
  Lastly, when asked if you have any questions thank the interviewer for his/her time and simply say "Is there any answer that I've given that you would like me to expand on?". That makes the interviewer give you some direct feed back and even if they don't want to take your application further you'll get some good practical advice for future interviews.

5 Amazing Job Interviewing Tips

Recommended Answer:
Majority of the time, it is a diaster as you're not experience. It's a good idea to practice with career center or friends and family. For most people, they usually practice in real time at real job interviews..and often don't get the job. It doesn't matter that it's bad. Just as long you learn.

Guide to a Successful Job Interview

• My first interview went well because I actually got hired. Be sure to be friendly and include any babysitting, cleaning, or any work-like experience. Talk about any skills or activities you're in. Make the interviewer insterested in you. The more interesting you seem, the more they will consider hiring you. They will inquire about your strengths and weaknesses, along with your organization, communication, and multitasking skills. Don't just say "yes" or "no." Fully answer the questions with explainations. Good luck with the interview!


• It all depends - because of what questions may be asked, if the interviewer is nice or mean, and how you behave while there. The only question that really pertained to how I'd be on the job was "How would you handle a problem with a customer?" and I answered, "If it is something within my control, I'll do everything in my power, 100%, to resolve it. If it's something beyond my control, I will get either a supervisor or a manager to help them." and she smiled with that answer. Make sure you're a bit talkative too! Show an outgoing side of you even if you aren't really that way! Make her/him laugh here and there. Smile a lot! ALSO when you walk in, shake his/her hand. I did all of this and landed the job right then and there. YOU decide whether it's good or bad, you know? YOU need to know YOU have it in you. :)


• Hello,
  
  To help ease those nerves, it's best to know what the hiring manager is looking for in a job interview.
  
  I hope this helps :-) Good luck tomorrow!!
