Questions to Ask Your Interviewer in the Job Interview


  • IT interviews are not tough if you show your potential in the skills you have worked on. You should be confident enough to impress the interviewer.

  • There are places to use your skills - Engineering skills are still in demand.
    Be able to create a resume that correctly (and doesn't exaggerate) your skills. Use EACH of your skill strengths as search criteria on the Hired911.com website. Here you can let your SKILL be your search criteria vs. your Job Title (although you can use your job title too).

    Also, there is are excellent resources for job seekers... about the interview process, creating a resume, and more. Many are in video format and you can watch them time and time again.

    Hope this helps.

    Job Interview Questions: What should I wear to this job interview?

    So there are going to be group interviews for PacSun (retail store), and was wondering if I should dress according to PacSun's vibe (very beachy, roxy, hurley, volcom type of style), or if i should go with the normal interview attire.

    How to Face a Job Interview Successfully



    Recommended Answer:
    even if you interview with mcdonald's for a cashier job, you should always look as professional as a CEO! i learned that in college, and it was one of the few things that i still remember. here are some guidelines on what to wear:
    Men and women should wear a suit (two pieces cut from the same cloth). Colors: dark blue, or medium to dark gray. Black is acceptable, but some find it too authoritative. Fabric: solid or subtle pinstripe, plaid or tweed.
    Women: may wear conservative jewelry, no larger than dime-size earrings on the earlobe.
    Men and women may carry a black, brown, or maroon leather portfolio.

    if you want more details look over this page: https://sites.google.com/site/theresuman… . and if you go on that website, also look at the advice they give for interviews, i think it's straight-to-the-point.

    good luck with your interview!

    Job Interview Questions: What do I put in a thank you card after I've had a job interview?

    And what if the interview was sort of a disaster? Any way to make it better to increase my chances of getting this job, despite my mistakes?

    Ace the Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    I do not think that writing a simple thank you note after a job interview is in bad taste, in fact, quite the opposite. I would express my gratitude for someone spending time with me, and at the same time stress your strong selling points and interest in the position.

    Here is a sample:

    Dear Mr. Summers:

    After speaking with you and the group, I believe that I would be a perfect candidate for this position, offering the quick learning and adaptability that is needed for a diversified position.

    In addition to my enthusiasm for performing well, I would bring the technical and analytical skills necessary to get the job done.

    I am very interested in working for you and look forward to hearing from you once the final decisions are made regarding this position. Please feel free to contact me at anytime if further information is needed. My cell phone number is (555) 111-1111.

    Thank you again for your time and consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Your Signature

    I would not try to rehash any areas that you thought did not go well. I would simply state the positive talents that you have and why you are a good fit.

    Answer Job Interview Questions & Score Big


    • I would thank the interviewer for having met with me and for understanding that I was nervous and being understanding about that. Be sure to mention things you like about the company, that you think working for them would be a great career opportunity not only because of the tasks involved but because of how great the environment seems.Thank them again for their time, let them know that you appreciate it and look forward to hearing from them.

      It is important to mention things about the company that you like as it shows that you are interested in THEIR company and have done researched them. Mention that you were nervous (assuming that is what caused you to make a few errors in replying to the interviewers questions) they should understand the way you were feeling and not hold it against you (assuming again that it was only nerves that caused the perceived errors. It is possible that you came across great).

      Keep the thank you card short, sweet and professional as they are very busy and do not have time to read a whole letter.

      I hope you get the job and that this helps.
      Good luck.

    • I thank them for taking time out of their day to meet with you. Tell them you enjoyed meeting them, and that you are very excited about what they do(you can be more specific). Thank them for their consideration and tell them to feel free to contact you with any further information they might need. End it with you hope you get the chance to work with them and learn more about their business or company

    • I used to be a manager and interviewed people for jobs.
      It was nice if on leaving applicants said thank you for seeing me or similar.
      However I would have been surprised to receive a thank you card from people whom I interviewed. My view was that you did the company a favour by applying for the job.

    • I don't think it looks desperate at all. But so what if it does? You need the job, right?

      You need to set yourself apart from all the other applicants. I really enjoy it when I receive a thank you card after I interview someone. It shows thoughtfulness and manners.

    • Thank you for giving me the opportunity to interview for this job. I appreciate it very much.

    • Do not do this!!!!! This makes you look desperate. Save yourself a stamp and just wait for the results to come back. Good Luck

    Job Interview Questions: What should I exspect from my job interview at petsmart?

    I have a job interveiw today at 2:00pm. This is my first interview but my second job. My first job just hired me on the spot. I really want this job! What are some of the questions they will be asking? Someone please help me out!!

    Top 10 Tips for Excelling in a Panel Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    I've worked in various types of retail jobs. They all basically ask the similar b.s. questions that they expect some complicated answer to; but it's simple questions requiring simple answers. I've had retail managers who couldn't spell worth a crap, and currently have an assistant manager over me whose verbal word usage, grammar and spelling shocks me. All retail jobs, even manager jobs - aren't that difficult. That's how these people get in. They use their years of retail experience to get into a manager job by sheer time and length of employment - not by smarts. PetSmart is surely no different. They'll ask your strengths and weaknesses, and ask the "Describe a time when you had to go beyond your duty to help a coworker/customer..." type of questions. You'll talk about your experience at your previous job, and they'll ask your duties, etc. Be early for the interview. Leave with plenty of time. I can't stress enough leaving with plenty of time. If you leave later than planned, it's just about guaranteed that many unforeseen obstacles will seem to get in your way and you'll end up late. Be in the store waiting about 15 minutes before the interview. Tell an employee to inform the manager that you are there for the 2:00pm interview and a little early, and will be waiting in the store. Go walk around and look at various things in the store, while waiting on the manager...but stay within a distance so that you can see when he/she is ready to see you. You don't want to go running off so they can't find you; but likewise, you want to show interest in the store in that you are looking around, checking out things, looking at how they merchandise, etc. Basically that part is just for "show"...the job is simple, though.

    Do You Make Any of These Top 5 Job Interview Mistakes?


    • I have never interviewed with Petsmart but I have worked in retail before. It is likely that they will ask about your strengths, your weaknesses, how you resolved conflict, and how you define teamwork. I just did a post about common interview questions on my new blog called Jobless Genevieve a few days ago. Feel free to check it out. It was created especially to help unemployed young people and recent jobless graduates with job searching and the job application process. Hope that helps! Good luck!

    • they will want to make sure you can do the job. tell them you love pets so you would love to work for them if you have pets tell them so.

    • Probably things like when were times you experienced good/band customer service.

    Job Interview Questions: Interviewer smelled bad at job interview - should I have said anything?

    Something smelled really rank at my job interview. When they asked if I wanted coffee, I said no I smell rotten milk or something. Interviewer looked upset because I think it was him.

    Should I have kept quiet? Is there a way to rectify this? It really smelled bad in there. Thanks.

    The Top 10 Things You Must Do During a Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    what u did was fine... in fact, u should've told him straight to his face that he stinks...if u really wanna rectify it, call that dude and tell him that u figured out that it wasn't the milk, it was definitely him...

    u pretty much lost the interview anyway, in for a penny, in for a pound right?

    Top Job Interview Tips For College Seniors


    • If you wanted the job, then yes you shoud have kept quiet. Simple question, simple answer. A person who conducts an interview decides your fate- they pay your salary so you need to be respectful of their time (and their smells).

    • Sounds like you didn't want the job, eh?
      Most people who do act enthusiastic.
      .

    • You might have blown this one. I would not recommend any action other than a very polite followup note thanking the interviewer for his time, then to continue looking

    • Yes, you should have kept quiet, even if you did smell something rotten. You implied that he was about to serve you rotted beverages, which is an insult to both him personally and the company and a major guest faux pas for both social and business hospitality. There's no way to rectify it now short of pretending it never happened.

    I have a job interview Monday at Albertson and i need to know what"s the best things to say.

    Passing a TEFL-ESL-TESOL Job Interview and Landing That Dream Job Abroad



    Recommended Answer:
    An interview is not just about you being asked questions it's also an opportunity to get any questions you might have answered as well.

    It's important that you think about what you are going to ask ahead of the interview which will help you to decide if it is the right job for you.

    I have seen a lot of people who have not asked questions where the answer would have meant they wouldn't have taken the job!

    So give some thought to what you really need to know to help you decide if they company is the right one for you

    Hope that helps?

    Take care

    Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview and the person said to meet him at a hotel?

    8 Job Interview Mistakes You Should Avoid



    Recommended Answer:
    It's normal if they are coming to your area from out of the area. I have had interviews like that. Just don't go into their private hotel room with teh door closed - insist on meeting at the restaurant or some other public area or conference room if available

    Expert Job Interview Advice From Someone Doing the Hiring


    • I have never heard of that.

    • I think it may be one of those presentation situations where they make you think they are giving you a job, but they are trying to sell you something. So, when you get there, there are a bunch of other people there and you have to sit through this presentation and then they ask for money.
      However, if you are familiar with the company and feel comfortable, go ahead and give it a go. If you don't like what you see when you get there, turn around and go home. I could see where a company that does not have a local office would need to use a hotel conference room. Like, if it is a sales job and you will be the independent rep for the company.

    • For interns it sounds very suspicious. For high level executive posts where candidates have to be recruited from other towns or cities most large companies pay for accommodation and meals and the hiring manager will be there to meet you and ensure that you are safe.

    Job Interview Questions: When you have a job interview, is it always the manager that interviews you?

    When you get job interviewed (I have one coming up) is it the manager of the place that interviews you? Or do assistant managers ever interview you? Apparently my friend had an assistant manager interview her and they are more laid back, according to her.

    A Job-Hunter's Guide to Handling Any Job Interview Question and to Answer Naturally & Professionally



    Recommended Answer:
    It will be one of the Managers, that is their responsibility, it could be an Assistant Manager, I don't really think they are more laid back, sometimes they aren't even any better than the rest of the employees, but that is just my opinion!

    Good Luck, Hope you get the job! :)
