Job Interview Questions: Does being asked to do a background check after your job interview basically mean your hired?

So I went in for a job interview about two weeks ago on a friday, the next monday the lady called me back to come in and complete a background check. I came in wednesday of that week and completed it, she said she'd call me when it came in. Its now tuesday of the following week, and I haven't heard back yet. Should I be worried? I thought the background check basically meant I was hired..? Was I wrong to think that?

Job Interview Tips That Deliver

Recommended Answer:
No it doesn't , especially if you have a record. They background check everyone.

How to Master a Job Interview

• As a manager that is responsible for interviewing and hiring a background check does not mean your hired. It means they are interested in you. I would often do background checks on multiple candidates at a time incase one didnt fit what I was looking for.
  Background checks can take anywhere from 3 days to a couple of weeks to come in depending on the service used by the company. I had often had background checks come in perfectly clear but not hire the person because some one else might have been better qualified.
  So a background check is in no way a guarantee that you will be hired. But it is a good sign so stay optamistic.


• I'm having the same situation as you , I'll let you know when they call me back.

• I'm 14 myself. And I honestly, I haven't gotten a job interview yet. But, I know just what to wear. (:
  First, never wear jeans, sweats, shorts etc. It just makes you seem like you don't really care about the job.
  Wear dress pants and a cute blouse, and a pair of cute shoes. Since you're getting an interview there, you don't want to wear anything to dressy. But like I said, dress pants a cute blouse and some nice shoes would work.
  Good luck, with your interview. (:

I would wear something a bit more formal, but with jeans. My Nana, when I asked her, said that you should wear something to your interview that you would wear to work.

• Yes, thats good and wear flipflops.

Job Interview Questions: What do I wear to a job interview at the gym?

I have a job interview tomorrow at the gym and have no idea what to wear. I was going to wear black slacks but it is extremely hot here in Florida...(high 90s) and humid. The gym is also right on the beach. Would it be okay to wear nice capris, sandals, and a nice shirt? (I will be walking a good distance to the gym from where i will be parking)

Job Interview Guide - Some Tips to Ace Your Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
Don't wear sandals. There are really two strategies you can use:
1.) Wear a conventional "interview outfit".
2.) Wear sneakers and "gym ware" in case they are going to have you try out the equipment.

Sandals fit into neither.

If it is the 90s don't walk to the gym and show up for the interview sweaty. Have a friend drop you off or pay for a cab or sdomething.

Best Job Interview Tip - You're The STAR

• Since it the job is at a gymnasium, you will want to dress in neat pressed athletic attire. A nice Lulu Lemon yoga top with black stretch pants and flip flops would be best. You want to dress for the occasion, if you wear inappropriate clothing for a gym near a beach, they will think you came unprepared. If you come dressed up in fitness clothes and beach flip flops, they will know you came prepared.
  
  Remember to smile, give a firm hand shake and to have your opening line ready when you meet the gym staff. The opening line should be an introduction about yourself and why you are the right candidate for the job.
  
  Good luck!

Job Interview Questions: Is it OK to turn someone down for a job interview?

I was recently scheduled for a job interview. I showed up on time, had nothing apparently offensive about my apperance, but was told that I would need to wait 15 minutes due to business. After 30 minutes, I was finally told I would 'be called back'. This has never happened to me before and I consider it highly unprofessional. What do you think?

Recommended Answer:
You call them to schedule. This will shock 'em! They actually might appreciate your call. I bet you will get the interview. Then decide.

Job Interview Preparation Tips From an Experienced Manager of Sales Job Interviews

• This happened to me too. I was called for a second interview, but as soon as I got there, as I was approaching the interviewer, she is like "you cannot do (a certain thing that caused them to drop me)..." They had already made their decision about me before I got there. I was wondering why they called me in the first place.
  I guess they decided they would rather not waste their time since I am already unsuitable. But yes it is highly unprofessional, but I don't think they cared, since I was probably less professional than them (being 1 out of 100 candidates applying daily)


• Something might of came up and they had to deal with it. It's nothing you did, this does sometimes happen, but don't wait for them to call. I would just let it go and keep looking.
  
  You already have a bad impression about the company because the way they treated you, so go with your gut feelings about working for them.
  
  I would suggest to you if they do call again, it's not a bad idea to back for the interview. If anything it gives you better experience in handling your communication skills. You can always turn them down. Good Luck.


• If you had personal contact with someone prior to the interview, you could politely call and ask about what happened. Give them the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps someone got sick or there was an emergency and "telephone style" that's the way the answer came to you.
  
  If you still get the run-around, consider yourself lucky you didn't get hired!


• I personally would not take the job in this case because I agree, its unprofessional. But it also depends on how much you want the job, if its just a small job to pick up a little money then I would find somewhere else. There is always someone looking for work.


• Well, it sounds like something unexpected came up in the office. We're all human, crap happens. Don't take it personally, I'm sure they will apologize when they call to reschedule.


• same thing happened to me i waited 3 hours once, but ya they should apoligize and then you decide if still want the job i turned mine down after that tho


• If it was due to business, there is nothing you can do. Business first.
