Job Interview Questions: What should I do if I misspelled a word in a thank you email after a job interview?

I sent an email tonight to the person who interviewed me today and i misspelled the word "persnickety". Should I send a correction email, or just hope they dont notice?

Use Good Scents for Your Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
DO NOT send a correction email.

If you apply for a sales / customer service / managerial type job, it shouldn't matter much.

However, if you're applying to engineering / writing / proofreading / accounting / auditing jobs (jobs that require great attention to detail), then this does not reflect well on you.

Job Interview Questions: Call back regarding unidentified job interview?

I received a message from a woman saying that her company found my resume on Monster and they were impressed by my qualities and would like to interview me. She didn't say what the company was or the type of position. I received the call around 7PM but didn't realize it until much later. Is tomorrow too late to call? And, would it be inappropiate to ask about the company/position? I don't want to go in for an interview not knowing what it was for! Also, does it sound sort of scam-like?

Use Good Scents for Your Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
That is VERY fishy
1 - a legitimate employer would have told you the company name and position in their voicemail, example "This is Jane Doe from Acme Company. We found your resume on Monster and would like to speak to you about a Sales Associate position based in our Anytown USA office"
2- What legitimate employer calls you at 7pm? If they were professional, they would call during normal office hours

You can call them back but do not agree to go in for an interview until they give you the company name, the company address, the position they are recruiting and a description of the exact job. DO NOT set up a time over the phone - say "Unfortunately I don't have my calendar with me at the moment. If you could give me some times that work for you, I will check my calendar and get back to you later today"

Then research the company
-check their BBB rating
-do a google search of the company name + scam
-check to make sure they have a listed phone number
- do a google search of that address to make sure that company name comes up

Sales Job Interviews - The Most Important Preparation Question

• Women should make their own choices about interview attire, but just as with any of the "rules" for dressing for success, they should make those choices fully informed about the risks and realities. Thus, we present the pros and cons of wearing pantsuits to an interview:
  
  Pros:
  If the pantsuit is widely acceptable attire in the workplace, it should be acceptable for job interviews.
  The idea that a pantsuit is unprofessional is outdated. It emanates from a male power structure that seeks to keep women in their place.
  Many employers (some surveys indicate the vast majority, in fact) say it doesn't matter as long as the pantsuit looks professional.
  Many recruiters themselves wear pantsuits.
  If you are not comfortable or confident wearing a skirted suit, you might not interview well. You should be true to yourself, and your clothing should reflect your self-image and help you project your most confident self. Some women feel they look better in pantsuits than in skirted suits.
  Pantsuits may be more acceptable in colder climates.
  Some professionals view pantsuits as actually more professional than skirtsuits because they make women seem powerful and more equal with men.
  
  Cons:
  It's better to be overdressed than under. Whereas you might go wrong wearing a pantsuit, it's almost impossible to go wrong wearing a skirted suit.
  It's not the pants that determine professionalism as much as it is whether the candidate wears a jacket (true of both men and women).
  Many experts say a pantsuit is OK for a second or third interview, but the skirted suit is still the best bet for the first interview. When Andersen Consulting recruits on college campuses, for example, the firm recommends skirted suits for the first two rounds of interviews, with pantsuits acceptable for the third round.
  Employers want to hire candidates who are a good "fit" with the organization; if you interview in a pantsuit in a company where all the female employees are wearing skirtsuits, you won't be perceived as fitting in.
  
  How to Dress for an Interview:
  
  Men's Interview Attire
  •Suit (solid color - navy or dark grey)
  •Long sleeve shirt (white or coordinated with the suit)
  •Belt
  •Tie
  •Dark socks, conservative leather shoes
  •Little or no jewelry
  •Neat, professional hairstyle
  •Limit the aftershave
  •Neatly trimmed nails

  •The suit skirt should be long enough so you can sit down comfortably

  •No jewelry is better than cheap jewelry
  •Professional hairstyle
  •Neutral pantyhose
  •Light make-up and perfume
  •Neatly manicured clean nails

  What Not to Bring to the Interview
  •Gum
  •Cell phone

  •Coffee or soda
  •If you have lots of piercings, leave some of your rings at home (earrings only, is a good rule)

  Interview Attire Tips
  •Before you even think about going on an interview, make sure you have appropriate interview attire and everything fits correctly.
  •Get your clothes ready the night before, so you don't have to spend time getting them ready on the day of the interview.

  •Polish your shoes.
  •Bring a breath mint and use it before you enter the building.


• Go in very professional !
  
  Men wear suit with the works nice shoes and a if you want a watch or one ring
  
  Girls natural make up and business suit. Ditch the skirt cause some women interviewers may not like that. Wear nice heels. One pair of earrings on no more then a size of a stud.

Job Interview Questions: In a job interview, do you ask about the salary? or Never brings it up until the potential employer does?

I have been to many job interviews and the salary never comes up in the first interview and I am always unsure whether to ask about it or just let them give an offer first?

Job Interviews: Effective Question And Answer Strategies

Recommended Answer:
Don't ask until offered the job. Then you can ask before you accept the position.

Job Interview Cheat Sheet - Top 6 Questions & Mental Strategies

• Don't bring it up at a job interview for two reasons: (1) for most jobs the pay range is already set and is exactly fixed by your education and experience and, (2) doing so raises the question about why you are applying, much less interviewing, when you have not informed yourself about the pay. That does not look good. For nearly any job notice, there is either a pay range stated or you can get it by asking before you apply. If the job notice does not have the pay range stated, and they will not tell you when asked, you need to be cautious or, at least, get an explanation that makes sense.


• It depends, but if they are calling you for more interviews, it's better to ask. What if it's a salary you'd never take, it's too low? You're just wasting their time and your time by not asking and continuing to go to call back interviews. If they know your current salary, and you're not looking for a lot more, and you don't seem desperate for a job (like you'll take anything), then you usually don't have to ask, since they will assume you're looking for at least the same salary. However, if you get an uncomfortable feeling, ask to make sure the salary is appropriate.
  
  Good luck!


• Preparation:
  
  * Learn about the organization.
  * Have a specific job or jobs in mind.
  * Review your qualifications for the job.
  * Be ready to briefly describe your experience, showing how it relates it the job.
  * Be ready to answer broad questions, such as "Why should I hire you?" "Why do you want this job?" "What are your strengths and weaknesses?"
  * Practice an interview with a friend or relative.
  
  Personal appearance:
  
  * Be well groomed.
  * Dress appropriately.
  * Do not chew gum or smoke.
  
  The interview:
  
  * Be early.
  * Learn the name of your interviewer and greet him or her with a firm handshake.
  * Use good manners with everyone you meet.
  * Relax and answer each question concisely.
  * Use proper English—avoid slang.
  * Be cooperative and enthusiastic.
  * Use body language to show interest—use eye contact and don't slouch.
  * Ask questions about the position and the organization, but avoid questions whose answers can easily be found on the company Web site.
  * Also avoid asking questions about salary and benefits unless a job offer is made.
  * Thank the interviewer when you leave and shake hands.
  * Send a short thank you note following the interview.
  
  Information to bring to an interview:
  
  * Social Security card.
  * Government-issued identification (driver's license).
  * Resume or application. Although not all employers require a resume, you should be able to furnish the interviewer information about your education, training, and previous employment.
  * References. Employers typically require three references. Get permission before using anyone as a reference. Make sure that they will give you a good reference. Try to avoid using relatives as references.
  * Transcripts. Employers may require an official copy of transcripts to verify grades, coursework, dates of attendance, and highest grade completed or degree awarded.


• It's best not to ask things like how much money you'll make or about vacation time. Wait until they want to hire you, then ask casually "by the way, how much is the pay?". If you don't like the sound of the pay and your the type of person who is able to have many offers, then just let them know your previous employer payed you more and that you are no longer interested. Then they'll either offer more or you can get another job. That is only if you really can get a job with better pay, otherwise in this recession... a job is a job,


• Whatever you do, ask them what they are willing to pay you first, so you can negotiate and maybe go up from there. Too many people have accepted less than they are worth by going too low! Hope I helped.

this is only my second job interview and i really need an idea on what to say, because i'm clueless.

5 Helpful Rules to Successful Job Interviewing

Recommended Answer:
Just be focused and listen to the question carefully and take some time to think about your answer. Some common interview questions are "why should we hire you" and "tell me about yourself"... answer professionally, don't just babble everything about your life. When they ask you to tell them a little about yourself, Say your name then what school you go to, what major your in and be all excited and happy. Show the company that you are energenic and excited even though they may pull a straight face with you. But they're only doing this so they could understand and listen to what you say.
When they ask why they should Hire you, think about it first then answer. Perhaps say that you're motivated and always focused on what you do, or even make it up and say that "I believe you have great customer service and it's something I would love to be a part of"

Careers After 50: Tips For Winning Job Interviews!

• Do your research on the company, have your gaps in employment covered or be ready to articulate your education and other experiences which qualify yo for the job.

Don't ask about fringe benefits unless the interviewer(s) bring it up. Be poised and dress appropriately.


• Vivi is right on this one.One of the biggest mistakes i see in interviews,is where the applicant "runs down" or complains,of former employers.No matter what you thought of them,or how things went,always be positive of your past.Don't be afraid to ask them questions,as they do you.Ask things like,"What do you like about working here","What are your goals,with the company","How long have you been here and how long did it take you,to get where you are today".Don't try to upstage the interviewer,but show that you are passionate to stick around and do anything it takes,to secure your future and the companies.Show that you are an asset,rather than a burden.


• Practice what your responses will be, with either your friend or by recording your responses and playing them.
  
  Listen to the questions and wait until the interviewer is through before answering.
  
  Try to be as relevant as possible when answering questions. This means that you try to relate what you know with what the company is looking for.
  
  Use proper English when answering questions and avoid slang or street language since this is generally considered unprofessional.
  
  Try to be as cooperative and enthusiastic as possible as this will make the interviewer feel you are an easy person to talk to.
  
  Ask questions about the position and the organization.

Job Interviews - How to Quickly and Easily Succeed at Them

Recommended Answer:
Not unless your employment contract, handbook or collective bargaining agreement states they must.

Giving an employee time off to pursue other job opportunities seems rather counter intuitive. You may have accumulated time off for other reasons (vacation, personal days, sick days, etc.) if allowed under the terms of your employment. If you have, use one of those days.

Job Interview "Tells" Some Employers Use Against You

• *facepalm*
  
  If you really want to push the issue, just tell your employer why you want the time off. They will be happy to give you all the time you want after that. In fact, they'll probably even give you off the rest of that day and ask you not to come back.


• Nope. Why on earth would you think your job has to let you interview for another job? What you should have done was asked for a personal day or taken a vacation day.


• Not only is there no law to force an employer to give you time off for that purpose, but an employer can rightfully release an employee seeking a job elsewhere.

Job Interview Training For Managers - Will's Story

• antiperspirant/deodorant.
  it's not just for your pits.
  not that i would recommend doing this on a daily basis, but you can really put it anywhere.
  it takes a while for it to absorb, so put it on the night before.
  reapply in the morning for added protection.
  wear an undershirt. like a t-shirt, not a wife-beatery one. i realize it's an extra layer, but it's also going to give you something else to absorb the sweat before it escapes.
  put your jacket on at the absolute last possible second.
  
  want to disguise sweaty palms? carry a COLD bottle of drinking water. interviewers will expect your hands to be somewhat cold and clammy vfrom the temperature of the bottle and the condensation on the outside.
  
  good luck!


• i agree with the first chick, also you can even carry a small hankey JUST incase that way if you do end up sweating you can just non shalontly patt it dry w. the napkin
