Job Interview Questions: Should I take my boyfriend to his job interview tommorrow?

We have been together for seven months. He only had a job for one month we were together. He never has money and doesn't have a car. I always drive to see him. We want to move in together. So he applied for jobs and has an interview tmmrw. Should I let him drive my car to the interview or no? But I would have to get up early because I have work tommorrow. Should I be supportive. I have been more than supportive for him in this relationship

English for Your Job Interview - How to Succeed

Recommended Answer:
It's a nice thought, but I would suggest you say no. The simple reason is if he gets the job, how is he going to get to and from work? He needs to find a job he can get to himself without depending on you to drive him.

And, I know you're going to say, "But I love him!" but seriously, why are you going to move in with someone who can't hold a job, doesn't have a car, and never has any money? You know you're going to end up paying for everything, right? If that's what you want to do, that's your right, of course. You can't be surprised and angry when it happens though.

What Colors To Wear To A Job Interview

• ok the thing about moving in with each other is bad cuz if he loves you he should marry you or wait until you guys can marry each other.. your boyfriend has only gotten a job for a month!!! thats bad and wait until he gets a real job for a long time to move in with him( altho u shouldnt move in with him at all) no dont let him drive your car... ohh yea and do not drive to see him he should find ways to go see you :) hope it helped


• If you love this guy, if he treats you right, and you REALLY believe that he can hold a job once he gets one, then yes. Be supportive and help him in any way you can.
  For your own sake please think this through and make sure that he can hold up his share of the responsibilities. You dont want to get stuck footing all the bills.


• If u REALLY want to move in with him then maybe u should let him but be careful and don't let him take advantage


• Yeah go ahead drive him , thats really nice of you.

Job Interview Questions: What to do at my first job interview?

Hi I'm 16 years old and I've just gotten a callback from a local supermarket wanting me to do an interview.

Some of the Toughest Job Interview Questions and Their Model Answers

Recommended Answer:
You should dress semi-formal. As for the interview, act confident. The last the an employer wants is a shy and timid person. So just act confident and assert yourself! =) Good luck!

English for Your Job Interview - How to Succeed

• In your case, you don't need to dress up so much. You merely need to look nice and presentable. The job you're going for is either a cashier, working behind the counter (deli, etc), or working in the stockroom. So it's not like you'll be working in an office environment. And so, the dress here would be different than if you were interviewing for a job in say a bank.
  
  A nice pair of jeans, khakies, skirt or dress (not too short because you're not on the prowl looking for a date!), or dress pants would be appropriate. As for footwear, a nice pair of sneaks or dress shoes would be ok.
  
  Avoid ripped clothing (jeans or top), things with sayings or decals on there, flashy jewlery, and tons of earrings. Remember, your goal here is to look and behave more like an adult! Something I mention in my book and have told teens like yourself at job fairs I'm participated in.


• Hey, congrats on your first job. It can definitely be scary and overwhelming, but go in there confident and be yourself. When I got my current job now, I went out and researched any information I could find on how to prepare for an interview, since It had been a while since I had been on one, and I found this site that gives you about 10 practice questions and then it gives you the answers based on how they think it would be answered. It also gives you ways to make it your own. It helped me a lot so definitely just check it out. Good luck to you!!


• First of all, many congratulations upon getting the interview, if your nervous then your normal.
  
  Dress sensibly for your interview, your parents will know, if your a young lady then maybe a trouser suit, or trousers with blouse etc, and sensible shoes not trainers. If your a young man then trousers shirt, jumper (a jacket, shirt, and a tie you might think is OTT but its not out of the question).
  Remember it's the first impression that counts (that is a visual event, before any words are spoken).
  
  The questions I would ask you are on the following topics (just think , what do the supermarket do and your almost there).
  
  Teamwork,
  Why do you think teamwork is important?
  Why do you think a team leader is vital to the success of the team?
  What would you do if you had a problem with another team member?Customer relations,
  A customer complains to you that they can not find a bag of sugar, what would you do?
  A customer complains that the queues at the check outs are massive, but two of the check outs are unmanned?
  
  Dress/uniform
  Do do you think being smartly dressed at work is important if so why?
  What do you think the benefits are in the staff wearing a uniform?Health and safety
  What is your understanding of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974?
  (just an outline, for example the duties and responsibilities of the employer and the employee under the Act, you can find it online type in HASAWA)
  
  What would you do if you saw a particular part of the shop floor was wet (something had spilled on it)?
  
  Some questions you may like to ask (you will be given the opportunity at the end of the interview)
  
  What are the working hours (does it include weekend's, bank holidays)?
  Overtime (including covering staff holiday's etc)
  Career prospects in the future?
  Your training process, and length of time?
  
  I hope this helps, try and practice your answers to typical questions(some above).
  
  When your asked a question,listen to the question, then pause, think about your answer, then give it.
  
  Get to the interview location early (gives you time to settle down, knowing your there).
  
  I wish you good fortune at your interview.
  
  Remember they are trying to get to know you, and one way is for you to answer their questions clearly and to the best of your ability.
  They will know your nervous, because they themselves have been interviewed in the past.
  
  And please don't do what I have done in the past, excuse myself at the interview to go to the loo, go before,a funny thing nerves (but totally normal).PS . Excuse me Katie I have just seen your icon thingy, and I now realise anything I have scribed concerning "young man" is totally irrelevent/stupid, see that's nerves for yer:)

Job Interview Questions: What should I expect for my first Job Interview?

Today I have my first job interview EVER. I'm really nervous, and I don't really know what to expect.
Can someone help me figure out what to expect? And maybe calm my nerves a bit? It's at a JC Penny store. Also, I'm wearing black pants with a nice top. Is that good enough to wear?

Is Your Body Secretly Sabotaging Your Job Interviews?

Recommended Answer:
Just remember to be as calm as possible. They're probably just gunna ask you some general questions about when you can work, if you got to school, what actives you do, and probably something about your goals like where do you see yourself in 10 yrs. I think what your wearing should be good. I used to have this notion that every interview means you got the job, i found that to be false very quickly. Not to be negative or anything but an interview really doesnt mean much so try to take some nerves away. Just be calm and do your best.

Job Interview Strategies That Work - Create Your Perfect Interview Movie

Recommended Answer:
I think John offers some good advice. Allow me to be a little more specific.

*Dress professionally- slightly better than the office standards (ie- if it is a construction job, khakis and a polo, whereas an office job requires a nice-fitting suit). If you are a female, treat yourself to a manicure (clear polish or French), wear natural-looking make-up, and do your hair professionally as well. Make sure your shoes are polished if necessary and, if you are wearing pants instead of a skirt, make sure you have dress socks on. If you wear any perfume/cologne, make sure it is very light. I like to keep a pack of gum with me and chew a piece in my car that I get rid of before I exit my car.

*Remember, your interview starts upon entering the building. Be curteous and professional to the receptionist and anyone else in the office.

*Bring at least 3 copies of your resume and references (preferably on ragbond paper (I prefer a light cream)) and have them organized nicely in a professional folder (I use a black leather folder for this). If the interviewer forgets one or needs an extra, it makes you look extra prepared. Be sure that none of these copies are wrinkled or stained.

*I agree with John, be confident, but not cocky. Not knowing what job you are applying for or what your qualifications are, I cannot give you specific answers to the other questions, so I suggest a mock interview. Call a friend (or 3) and give them a list of common interview questions and ask them to "interview" you for this position and make sure they know that they can conduct the interview/ask any questions that they see fit. They only way to get confidence is to practice- if you know someone who routinely interviews employees or works in your chosen field, they will be the best to help with your practice.

*Again, as John said, don't act needy or desperate for this job. Also, don't downtalk any former employer. Be prepared to have a reason for why you have been out of work and please mention any volunteer or civic activities/ classes you have taken during this time. Good luck tomorrow!

Sample Answers to the 10 Leading Job Interview Questions

• Behave in a confident way. Don't be weak or needy or insecure. Don't tell them you really need or want this job. If they ask what you bring, tell them what your strong points are. Answer teh question now...before you get to the interview. The best answer is a sincere one. For example, you say you erally want the job, so you can answer that you bring desire - it's true and sincere but not weak or insecure.
  
  Be yourself. What's most important is to connect with the interviewer. They want to know who you are.
  
  In terms of salary, I try to never give the first answer on that - you can say something like "My salary expectations are in line with the market for this position and my professional and educational background". If they push, you can do some research and then give them a range rather than a concrete number.
  
  Best of luck

Job Interview Skills - What You Must Have to Land the Job

Recommended Answer:
How about monster.com or any of those job website where your post your resume?

I interview people and here is some advice that should seem obvious but to many job seekers it is not.

Make sure you are properly presentable. If you are interviewing for a suit and tie type job then look the part. Make sure from top to bottom it is correct. If you can't handle the basics of presenting yourself then do you think I'll be impressed with your enthusiasm, education and experience? Those things don't shine as well if your fingernails are dirty or need to be clipped and your shoes need a shine. Trust me, how you look matters.

Job Interview Advice - Dos and Don'ts For Your Big Day

• Anyway, what you need is to do is some hard work. I would look on Monster.com, craigs list, etc for a job.
  
  1) Look at the job information:
  Cover Letter: Often jobs will list "personality" traits they are looking for. These are called buzz words. When you write your cover letter, use some of these buzz words.
  
  EXAMPLES
  They want Somebody how has lots of energy, you put Energetic.
  They want somebody creative, you put innovative.
  
  The list can go on.
  
  2) On the website. while doing your cover letter, go to the website of the people who are hiring. Find out who to address the letter to, and get the address. Also print off a copy of the application.RESUME
  Instead of just applying for the job with the same tired old resume format as everyone else, I would do a paper copy. Print it on QUALITY resume paper (that can be found at Office Max). Also print the cover letter on that paper. Also, I suggest getting a box of matching "resume" folders. They will look sharp and give you a nice touch.
  
  Other Stuff:
  Include in the "resume" folder your resume, cover letter, full application. Also, some jobs require transcripts and other proof to be hired. I would send a copy of those items as well.
  
  This will give you an advantage over the other aplicants
