Sahi Job

I have a job interview at a local grocery store this week, and I was wondering what some common questions in which the interviewer would ask are?
Thanks Chaz! =)

" If a fat man comes in to the shop, are you allowed to sell him cake? "

I have a job interview tomorrow with the Canadian Ministry of Labour for a student position as an ‘Emergency Management Assistant’. What kind of questions would you reckon might be asked? Thanks!

Here is a list of some of the most common employment interview questions:

• What are your major weaknesses?
• What type of work experience do you bring to this job?
• What do you see yourself doing in 5-10 years?
• Why do you want to work for us?
• What assets do you bring to this company?
• Discuss a project or undertaking in which you have been successful, why do you believe you succeeded.
• Discuss something at which you did not succeed, what you learned from the experience.
• If you have supervised others, how do you think your staff would describe your management style?
• How do you feel about working in stressful situations?
• Would you describe yourself as a thinker or an action taker?
• Describe a goal you have set for yourself in the past and the steps you took to accomplish it.
• Pick someone in the business or professional world that you admire- why do you respect this individual?
• What do you do for fun? What are your personal interests?
• Describe the type of manager you would like to work for.

The blog articles offer great information about how to prepare before the interview, what to do and not to do during the actual interview, and action you need to take after the interview.

Good luck!

A telephone interview is a screening process to initially gauge an applicant. One can have a successful phone interview by following simple rules and tips.

A telephone interview is the first phase for screening job hunters with the position they are applying for. This important phase more likely consists of similar questions asked onsite or in a personal interview. One should follow basic rules and etiquettes in order to do well and pass this level. Below are some helpful tips to consider:

Preparation

Companies rely on contact numbers printed in your resume. Make sure you give accurate and detailed contact details so they can easily get in touch with you. You can also search and know more about the position you are applying for with the company’s profile. Ensure that your phone is fully charged or working properly. Remember to return the call as soon as possible when you miss the interviewer’s call. Give your full name and the position you are applying for.

Explain to your household members how important phone messages are in your job hunt. Have a friend practice with you. Do mock interviews to avoid nervousness over the phone.

Some companies schedule phone interviews. Better yet, have a copy of your resume, pen, pad and a glass of water beside you. Be sure to use the restroom before the interview starts.

Distractions

Have a comfortable place to concentrate on your phone interview with no distractions. Do not take the call if there is too much background noise. Shut down the TV, radio or computer sounds. Ask the people around to hush for a while if they are speaking loudly. Interviewers may not see you but they might feel that you are distracted.

Introduction
Speak clearly upon introducing oneself. Modulate your voice because your voice shows eagerness and your attitude for the job. Avoid long greetings and have a small talk.

Dress and Posture

Studies show that even if the interviewer can’t see you it is better to dress professionally. Applicants who dress professionally should also act professionally. A casual dress prompts you to act in a casual manner also.

Interview Etiquette
Following standard interview etiquettes will favor you most. It is important to address the interviewer as Mr., Mrs., Ms., sir or madam. Avoid chewing gum or eating, clearing your throat or sneezing. Take your time and do not interrupt the interviewer. Be courteous in your every answer.

Answering Questions

Be prepared for some obvious questions regarding your resume. Search for interview questions and practice answering it. It is better to be honest and do not say anything stupid.

Most phone-in questions are about your personality, the nature of the open position, your skills and experiences. Applicants should watch out for funny questions. Companies tend to ask your strong points and weaknesses. They will also ask why you want to work in their company. Understanding the company’s mission statement is a plus factor to fill the position.

Be brave in asking follow-up questions in the end. Your interest in the company is a good impression on the employer’s part.

Closing Remarks

Sell yourself to be able to get a person to person interview as well. This actually means that you are in the final stage of the hiring process, the final interview usually conducted by the operations or HR manager. Of course, this depends on the position you are applying for.

During the interview, exert some effort in feeding more information about yourself. Do not forget to thank the interviewer.

In the modern computer age, the use of real-time conversion on the net is an ideal venue in recruiting applicants for the initial screening. Chat technology is a powerful way of conveniently hiring job seekers for a certain position as well. Hence, few people get hired during phone interviews because of the lack of preparation and knowledge about it.

I have a friend who is going on a job interview for the postion of visual display merchandiser at a clothing store. What are some questions they would ask?

On it sites are good top links for decisions of your problem http://webfin.notlong.com/2AAgYbl

I’m getting ready to go in for an interview for a regular retail store. The first time I tried I did not get the job and I know it was due to the way I answered the questions. I want to be prepared next time.

I am finishing up school, and am looking for an internship. There will be a dental job fair on Thursday that I am going to go to, and I need to be prepared for an interview. What are some questions they might ask me?

One question that I always ask is, "Why should I hire you over the other applicants?" I don’t want to hear that you were a good student, you are hard working, you never miss work, etc. That is what everyone says. So if you say that, you are no better than anyone else. You need to tell them what you will bring to their practice to increase productivity and revenue. I can’t tell you what to say exactly. This is when you have to THINK. Good luck.

I am finishing dental assisting school and am looking for an internship. What type of questions should I be prepared to answer?

I can’t speak for all offices, but the one I work at doesn’t ask any questions. People call, ask if they can intern at our office, and we say yes. The most important thing is that you complete all of your hours. We rarely have interns do that, and they are missing a great opportunity to make a good impression and possibly find a position at our office. Good luck!

On stores like Autozone, Pepboys, etc.. auto repair shops.

Are they all the same for every job? Ive never had a job interview before and id want to know what
kind of questions they ask for most of the jobs out there whether its fastfood, desk job or mechanical repair type jobs.

Most of the questions will be about prior experience that is relevant to the job. If you are young and haven’t worked in that industry before (auto repair, fast-food, etc.), you can give relevant experience from your personal life (helped you Dad fix the family car, help Mom make dinner, etc.).

Any prior work experience is good, if it shows that you can get to work on time, follow instructions, and have a positive, get-it-done attitude.

Also expect some general questions about your own life and work habits: are you good at organizing? Solving problems on your own? Getting things done on time?

Also, they may want to know your plans for the future. Will you being going back to school? Starting a family? Taking a 6-month trip to Peru? They will want to know that their investment in your training will pay off.
