What to Say During a Job Interview: 3 Steps to Interview Answers That Will Get You Hired



Recommended Answer:
Whatever the job is, all job interviews should get the equal respect. So, my answer is NO. You should not go to any job interview in casual attire which includes jeans, shorts, tank top, open toe shoes.

How To Prepare For A Job Interview


  • Jeans are never a good idea for a job interview.You should always look your best even for an animal shelter.A nice pair of blue slacks and a blue or white blouse and yes closed toe pumps or heals.You want to be dressed like you want the job no matter how dirty you might get once you are hired.It is tough competition out there and you have to go in there with all your best.Good luck.Hope this helped.Don't chew gum and make good eye contact.

  • NEVER wear jeans to a job interview, no matter what it is.

Job Interview Questions: What is the worst job interview experience you've ever had?

I've noticed a lot of employers really aren't very good at interviewing. It's a little disheartening.

Job Interviews: Effective Question And Answer Strategies



Recommended Answer:
Yeah I realized. The employers at the supermarkets near me are terrible. Even if they have a "help wanted" sign up, it's nealy impossible to get called in.

Sample Answers to the 10 Leading Job Interview Questions


  • an interview for a commission based job, where they basically are wasting your time because none of it is hourly based pay.

    also, it's not so much that no one is hiring as it is that with patience, the right job will open up. you can try temporary services, etc. maybe you are in a dry point for about 4-17 months on reliable work. however, eventually, something will open up. even though investing in education is a major move of importance, it is important to note that with patience, something will work out for you.

  • I had one in a doctors office. The doctor talked about himself for a good 20 minutes, he would ask me a question and interrupt me before I even answered. So basically I answered no questions and he knew nothing about me lol. He was saying we'll have you work here for 4 weeks then I'll let my wife decide if she wants to keep you or not. The entire time the office manager was staring me up and down giving me the dirtiest looks. As I was leaving the office manager goes you were our first interview we have way more to do over the next few days so we'll call you back in about a week. A few hours later the phone rang and they were offering me the job lol. So much for all their other interviews. I turned down the job, not leaving a job I have now for one where I maybe let go in a month if his wife didn't like me.

  • I had one that kept staring at my chest. And I was wearing a suit and top under it that wasn't showing any cleavage. When he asked me where I thought I'd be in the company in five years I said "I wouldn't be. I'd have since retired with a hefty settlement after suing you for harassment." Then I snatched my resumé out of his hand and walked out of the interview.

    As for being the interviewer I had one applicant ask me if it'd be OK if he carried a gun on the job (for a computer networking position LOL!) because "You can never be too safe." I wasn't sure he was packing heat at the moment so I just smiled and said "That's something you can discuss with the owner if you call you back for a second interview." which of course, we didn't.

    Another person I interviewed had a resumé that said he'd worked six months ago at the company he was applying to. That he'd been there for two years. And even better - he'd been working my position while I was there LOL!!!!

    I also received a fax from an employee we were about to replace. She was such a bad secretary she didn't even recognize her own company's fax number!

    So it works both ways. There's lots of bad interviewers but there's probably even more bad applicants.

  • Well i only had one job since highschool, just got laid off a few months ago. One of my interviews since then was going great, and i was asked if i wanted to work days or nights. I said either would be fine as long as I'm not required to work sunday nights, because thats when i play hockey.
    The interviewer then said "do you know so and so"
    before I could think I replied with "The only people i know with that last name are dave and eric"
    "Oh really they're my cousins, I'll have to do a quick little background check, ha ha"
    ****, i thought to myself, there goes that job. It turns out from kindergarten all the way to high school one his cousins used to start **** with me, and it would usually end with him getting his *** kicked. Do you think i got the job? ha ha.

  • always retail,and "high end retail"

Job Interview Questions: I need something that I can wear to a funeral AND a job interview?

I'm short on cash and I have a job interview and a funeral I need outfits for. Is it possible to get one outfit that I can wear to both? & I literally have no dressy clothing at all (sold everything at Plato's Closet). Please help quick! Thanks! =]

Keys to Successful Employment - Professional Job Interview Tips



Recommended Answer:
I'd recommend a charcoal gray or dark navy blue skirt suit. Stay away from loud patterns like bold pinstripes or plaids. I'd also say a white, gray, or powder blue blouse would be good; they're basic pieces and will work for many ocassions. Also, the reason I said a skirt suit is because it is professional, but a pants suit may say "business" a little too strongly for a funeral.

As for where to get them, check out any department store (Macys, Penneys, Kohls, etc) or specialty store (Express, The Limited, etc.).

    Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview tomorrow, what should I wear?

    I'm 17 and am scheduled for an interview for a job as a clerk for CVS pharmacy. I don't want to wear jeans because they don't seem to be very professional, but I really don't have anything else to wear. I have nice shoes to wear and a pretty blouse, but no khakis or dress slacks. This is my first job interview, but not my first job. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Essentials of Job Interviewing



    Recommended Answer:
    borrow a pair of khakis or just go to a thrift store, for a couple of dollars you can get a nice pair of slacks..........

    Accounting Job Interview


    • just wear your everyday stuff. i mean i'm sure that dressing up business like would help, but if your just looking to be a CVS clerk, then your interviewer is only making sure that your a normal person. they don't look to see if you have any special talents, i mean its a clerk job, their just trying to make sure your not some crazy drug addict or party person who's going to have a hard time coming to work on time (or even at all)

    • u have to be dressed tidy and reasonable, i just find my party dress then i see this
      www.dealstudio.com/searchdeals.ph…
      the dress in the pic is very decent for u, or u can go 4 a reference.
      good luck.

    • I don't exactly know what you should wear but I know what you should definitely not wear, your birthday suit.

    • Dress pants or a decent length skirt, dress shoes, and a nice shirt. Be well groomed also. Good luck!

    • try and find a nice skirt, if you cant wear an oversized blouse but make sure your shoes are nice

    • just go buy some slacks
      or borrow a pair if you know someone the same size as you
      go in looking professional
      good luck

    Job Interview Questions: What to wear to a outdoor job interview?

    tomorrow i am going to an outdoor job interview for a canopy tour company, i am trying for a position as a tour guide, which gives hikes through the area and zip lines, i was told to wear outdoor adventure attire, and to dress warmly. what does that mean?? like jeans and a tee shirt or what? i was also told that the area is really muddy right now because of the rain. what would you wear?

    5 Tips For a Successful Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    If someone invited you to go on a hike and told you it would be chilly and muddy, what would you wear?

    That's what you should wear!

    Water proof hiking boots; jeans with maybe thermals underneath (depending on how chilly); a Tshirt + long sleeved shirt + Jacket (layers). Preferably somekind of foldup rain suit in your pocket (shows them you're prepared); and probably a hat for warmth if needed. And probably sturdy gloves for the zip line work.

    If you show up dressed completely inappropriately for the weather it'll be obvious you don't know what your doing and after freezing all day with mud up to your butt you won't get the job.

    Job Interview Advice - Impress the Interviewer and Get the Job


    • Good boots and a warm type shirt flannel outdoors look think hunting or skying ?
      A jacket good for cold and rain camouflaged type may be good.
      Or bright orange.

    • Hiking boots, kaki pants and shirt and a pith helmet. I don't know, just sounds like the stereotypical outdoor tour guide to me :)

    Job Interview Questions: What should I expect from a job interview?

    I have a job interview at Macy's in a few days. I have never had a job before and I am only working seasonal.

    What should I expect and what would the interviewer expect of me?

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



    Recommended Answer:
    Be yourself and do your "homework"... have a good answer for why you want to work there and why you chose them. Dress as best as you can because they expect to see you at your best. Practice in the mirror (I know that sounds so silly, but it works) . Dont rush when answering a question, its ok to take time to think about the right answer. Use life experience for examples of things - such as something that happened in school if they ask you stuff like "How would you deal with a difficult customer" . Good luck !

    Job Interview Skills: Four Critical Mistakes to Avoid!


    • They'll probably just ask you common sense type questions and some experiences you've had like tell me when you had to work in a group and what was the result. Questions like that, it probably won't be anything too tough just be yourself and answer honestly and you'll be fine.

    • The interviewer will know that you (and many others) have little or no experience, so don't be concerned about that. They may ask if you know anything about the area you are applying for (warehouse, sales floor). Just be honest, and if you want the job, be sure to ask (at the end of the interview) what the next step is - do you contact them or vice versa and when and who do you speak to when you contact them

    • Ideally a white formal shirt (if comfortable wear a tie with a proper knot) and a dark trouser (black, brown or blue) with polished shoes should work fine.

      In case you prefer to wear a colored shirt, plain light yellow / pink / green / blue should work fine.

      Also ensure that the belt and shoe should be of same color.

    Job Interview Questions: What are some positive weaknesses for a job interview?

    What are some positive weaknesses for a job interview?

    Is this a good one?: "I am kind of a pushover. I hate conflict and when I am in an argument with my family or friends I always take the blame so the fighting will stop. I hate when there is tension between people and I just want everyone to be happy instead of sticking up for myself."

    any other ideas?

    Job Interview Tips



    Recommended Answer:
    Stay positive in your answer. A weakness is an opportunity to learn something new and show you can improve yourself. Explain how you overcame it…(took a class, worked with your boss for more training).

    These types of questions, the interviewer is waiting for you to say something to screen yourself out of the job. The interviewer needs to find a good fit for their company/department…getting along with people and being positive are good qualities to have. Being a pushover is more of a personality flaw…sure you can overcome it, but it's probably better to keep your answers job related and professional. Don't give them a reason to think you're going to be a future employee problem.

    Killer Job Interview Answers For Daunting Job Interview Questions


    • Not making up bullsh*t answers and telling the truth is what's best for interviews. Do you really think that employers don't know about those stupid, cliche answers? The reason that most employers (who do THOUSANDS of interviews - how many have YOU done?) ask that question is to see if you are honest or not. All of those things you are talking about are lying, pat answers. They want to see if you are real. EVERYONE has flaws. If YOU were the boss wouldn't you want to known the truth about the people you pick to hire?

    • That could be a really bad one, based on the position.

      Choose an honest weakness that you have learned to moderate or overcome. Your example is still an active weakness.

    5 Simple Rules for A Great Job Interview


    • i think u shud wear professional jeans...like maybe one which goes in bootcut (not like skinnies).and maybe like a blazer to make it look more professional with some small boot heels..since this is a clothing store and not a company otherwise u wud hve to wear a dress suit or something....

    • I would stick with dressing professionally just to be on the safe side. Wear some khaki's or black dress pants with a nice pair of shoes and a collared shirt.
