Job Interview Questions: Does a tattoo affect your job or job interview?

I am trying to or thinking about getting a my right arm sleeve tatted. But what worries me is, do you think this will affect my career in the long run? For the next 8 years im going to be attending med school to become a orthodontist / dentist. It's a little silly, but I am worried that my tattoo might affect the decisions to hire me. Am i just being paranoid? Opinions, Answers, or Experience would help thanks guys.

What to Do Before, During and After a Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Even though tattoos are becoming more and more common, there are still places where it is taboo. I don't think you are being paranoid, I do believe it would effect your hiring status. Many places want a professional looking person working for them and tattoos and body piercings may offend others. Many places would require you to cover up your tat and remove certain piercing if you were to work for them.

Best Job Interview Tip - You're The STAR


  • It depends what's in the tattoo, how visible it is, and if its offensive.

    As long as your clients don't see it, and if they do it isn't offensive whatsoever, it should be fine.

    You might want to look into it further by doing some research though. xx

Job Interview Questions: Job interview-Previous employer with bad work environment.?

I am looking for another job because the working conditions with my current employer are horrible! The way they operate and their processes are not very customer friendly at all! Should I mention any of that when I interview for other jobs?

Job Interview Tip Number 1 is Preparation



Recommended Answer:
Tread lightly when you do mention it. If you dwell too much on how bad it was then you can easily sound like a complainer or someone who's never happy. But if they ask why you left, there's no need to lie - just be careful how you word it. Instead of complaining about how horrible the place was to you personally (makes you appear self-centred), focus on how the previous place wasn't good to their customers (poor service, example) and that you don't really want to be a part of that type of place. By focusing on how they were bad to customers and not you, it sounds a lot more objective and that you care more about the customers than yourself

How to Answer Job Interview Questions Correctly and Get Hired


  • NEVER NEVER NEVER speak ill of your previous or currently employer. Interviewers hate that and will throw your application in the trash.
    If you have a problem with your employer and need to leave do it as delicate as possible.
    try to leave on as good of terms as possible.
    tell you interviewer something like you are exploring new possibilities or anything positive don't let on that you job sucks.

  • You probably don't want to come off like you just couldn't stand your boss there. You'll raise a red flag...ie. they'll wonder if you're the know-it-all employee that doesn't get along with co-workers...

    You will also burn any bridge with the current boss if you need to cite the job on your resume (ie. JOB EXPERIENCE) in the future...

    Just explain that you didn't feel like you were utilizing your professional skills or reaching your maximum potential at your current job...

Job Interview Questions: Job interview tomorrow at chipotle not sure what to wear?

i have a job interview tomorrow at chipotle mexican grill but not sure if i should wear black dressy pants with a nice shirt and dressy blck shoes or tan dickie pants with a casual nice shirt and tennis shoes please help me

Experience Of Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Wear anything that you feel comfortable in. It is not important. Most people who apply at Chipotle wear jeans and a t-shirt at their interview. And they get the job. The most important thing is to tell the interviewer that you will show up on-time and that you will work hard. Everything else is not important.

Do not buy clothes for an interview. Your smile is your ticket to get this job.

Job Interview Questions: Can someone help me on a job interview?

i have a job interview in a couple days at Cracker Barrel for a cashier position. this is my first job interview ever. i just need tips. and what kinda questions will they ask me?

Job Interviewing Tips - Success Through a Thank-You-Letter



Recommended Answer:
For a cashier position they are going to want someone who seems friendly and able to talk to people. Just make sure to smile and maintain eye contact. Also no matter how nervous you are make sure you seem confident! Try to think of answers ahead of time. The most typical thing they will as is for you to describe yourself. They are not so much looking to hear about your personal life but your professional life and what it is you can bring to the job. If you haven't had a job before talk about your school work and extra curricular actives you have been involved in. Honestly they are not going to care so much about what you answer but how you answer. So like I said be confident, talk clearly and try not to say umm... or ahhh... a lot. Good luck! (=

Eliminate Job Interview Anxiety


  • Sit up straight, hold your head high answer questions with confidence. Be sure of yourself and don't feel intimidated. Have an extra copy of your resume, if you have one, list of references just in case the interviewer ask for one.

    You don't have to wear a business suit but the standard interview attire if you're a guy, shirt and tie, dark slacks or khakis. If you're a gal knee-length skirt, white blouse, make sure the jewelry is toned down, stay away from big earrings, etc.

    Good luck to you.

  • what hours can u work? why should we hire u over someone else? what can u offer the job? just smile be confident and honest and good luck

Job Interview Questions: Is it ok to ask for a job interview?

I filled out an application for a new restaurant that's opening a few days ago. Should I call back and ask for a job interview? If I call back what should I say?

Job Interview Follow Up - Five Simple Steps to Success



Recommended Answer:
Don't directly ask for an interview give it more time maybe a week or two then call back to follow up on the status of your application. They might appreciate your initiative and offer you an interview then if not sooner.

Preparation is the Best Job Interview Tip


  • If they gave you any indication when they thought they'd make the next steps, then wait till a couple days before that. Sometimes when you turn in an app they let you know they're taking apps like "until next Tuesday' or "until the 14th" etc, and call just before that time is up.

    If they didn't say and considering the job, if it's been more than 3 days I'd recommend you call and basically just say you wanted them to know you were very interested and ask if they are close to holding interviews.

    That's just a good reminder to them of your name and shows you're really interested.

    Worst case you'll find out it's already filled and you won't be wondering.

Job Interviews: When Does Your Interview Really Begin?



Recommended Answer:
Why would you like to work for Wendy's?
What do you think you would enjoy most about working fast food?
When was the last time you went out of your way to help someone?
How would you handle and upset customer?
Are you a team player?

Those would probably be the most difficult ones to answer.

When I worked for KFC they had me take a test....It's an easy test....just to see if you can count money.....be prepared.

How Not to Fail at Job Interviews


  • Whaty do u expect to bring o the company? why do u wanna work here? what do you do for fun? explain good customer service skills? and wear something dressy like skirt and a nice shirt. or some slacks. I hope this helps. And good luck =]

  • You're going to be a burger flipper. They usually hire you for simply being alive.

  • stupid ones. it's just wendy's... I'm sure I'll get a lot of thumbs down from a bunch of stupid people.

Job Interview Questions: How early should I show up for a job interview?

I have a job interview tomorrow morning and I'm 18 - its for an office job, a data entry clerk position

I was wondering ... how early should I show up?

I was first thinking 15 minutes, but then I wondered if something happened (if I couldn't find the suite or something) I should go there 45 minutes early, and then be in the office 20 minutes early?

Is 30 minutes too early to show up for an interview?

The 60 Second Resume Job Interview Strategy!



Recommended Answer:
Ten minutes early will do fine. If you get there any earlier, wait in your car, go over your resume, and practice questions so you will be fresh. I would say 30 minutes is way too early unless you can wait in a lobby where the person interviewing you won't see you.

Preparing For Job Interviews


  • Not too early to be waiting in the parking lot, but too early to be in the office. Don't walk in until about 10 minutes before, and wait in your car until then. (I always try to park somewhere that doesn't feel so awkward while I sit and wait...but that's just me.)

  • well its simple . 30 minutes will be too much. it is just fine with 10 or 15 minutes early.
    that will be good for you to have your breath and calm down a bit and also to take over your nerves.

  • 30 minutes is way too early. 20 minutes would be okay.

  • 15 minutes

i have a job interview at a local grocery store in the floral department. what do i need to bring with me and how early shold i arrive? also, on my resume i mentioned 7 or 8 awards i've recieved, (academic) should i bring those with me too?

Don't Blow Your Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Just be casual, dress casual and speak normally. Just relax, its only a grocery store job. If you try and act too professional or dress like your going to work in a firm, then they will know you are an idiot and have no idea what this job entails.

  • Be confident , carry all the necessary documents, dress that suits u well(formal)...
