It is illegal to ask a job applicant in any way what their age is. \nThis is a federal law.\nThey can ask if you are the minimum age or older for the hours or working conditions.\nOtherwise, they are breaking Federal age discrimination laws and should be reported.\n\nAfter being hired, if you are young looking they can request verfication of your miniumum age by requesting a copy of your birth certificate or other ID.

Dear Joe,\n\nThank you so much for taking your time with me yesterday to discuss the assistant manager position that your store has open.  It was very nice to better understand the nature of the position, as well as the working environment at Sporting Goods.\n\nAfter our discussion, I am even more convinced that I am exactly the person you need to fill this vacancy.  \n\nI look forward to hearing from you again soon.\n\nSincerely,\n\nJane

I'm currently the VP of Operations and IT for a non-traditional commercial lending bank.  I don't really remember what questions they asked me - but it's important when you're getting someone to do this particular job (operations manager) that they can deal effectively with people (maybe you ask what was the largest group of people they previously managed, or if their current employees were to describe them with 3 words what would those 3 words be), that they're competent with the systems that you're using, or if you're using something special (like you've written your own software) that they're able to pick up on that quickly, and that they understand how to analyze financial data, both for budgeting purposes (i.e. reporting to the board of directors) and for management purposes (i.e. budgeting for employee attrition as well as future growth).

If you submit a letter of application in nice correct English from Yahoo! Answers, you will look really dumb at the interview when they realise that you cannot maintain that standard, and then they won't give you the job.  So think again.

some thing alike " I am a sincere, loyal and dedicated individual who has a great deal of ambition. Although I have extensive experience in the ( fill in the blank ) industry, I love to learn, and am always up to a challenge. I get along well with others, while also working efficiently on my own. I am seeking a position where I can develop and excel while \ngiving my best to an employer.  " \n\nREMEMBER: not word to word

First of all it is "an" administrative position not "a" administrative position.\n\nWhy do you want this or any administrative position?  Yeah, I know, you need the money.  But let's get beyond that.  I assume you want to apply your training and the skills you have developed.  I assume you also want to gain more knowledge and experience to develop your career potential.  So say something like that: To obtain an administrative position in order to utilize my training, skills and abilities and develop my career potential.\n\nI think what that other person wrote was good as well.

Usually they mean to bring names of people they can contact, not necessarily a written document.\n\nAsk people at your last job, preferably in positions of importance, if you can use them as a reference.  If you don't want your present employer to know you're looking, ask people you trust not to say anything if you can use them as well.

Not enough information is given.  what is your stance?  IS ot a DBQ [Document Based Question]?  Or a FRQ [Free Response Question]?  What does the prompt specifically ask for?  Teh information given is WAY to broud.  Also, don't ask for a thesis and then use the exact one someone might give you.  Turnitin.com might catch you.  That would be bad.

The best way to answer this question is tell them what interested you in the particular job or career field. They are trying to field out people not seriously interested in the field. It is an idea to be honest and genuine. However, before you submit your answer, have a few people proofread it to make sure your point comes across well and would spark interest in offering college admission to you.

When the question is asked, it must be answered honestly.  It is during the inverview that you can offer your explanation.  Also, if you want, you can attach an explanation to the application.  However, no matter how many years, you are obligated to tell the truth or be subject to termination anytime by the company when it is discovered.  Your honesty is much more important than any felony record.  Be honest and truthful.

There are literally hundreds of sites with interview questions and many also have suggested answers.  Most of them will ask you to pay a fee to access all the questions and materials, but persistent searching will bring you to quite a few free sites.  It is more helpful if you do a search for questions related to the specific job you are interviewing for. \n\nYou should also prepare a few good questions to ask, because most likely they will give you an opportunity to ask questions.  I've hired a number of people more because of the questions they asked than because of the answers they gave.\n\nHere are a few links.  Good luck with the interview.

It means what job would you prefer to have? They want you to specify the job title you would prefer. For example, "Art Director" if you're a graphic artist wanting that position, "Associate Professor of Chemistry" if you're applying for a tenure-track teaching job in the Chemistry department of a university, or "Sales Manager" if you're looking for a management position in a sales department.

They will usually ask for past employment, however, since this is your first job you can use any volunteer work you have done or any kind of leadership position you might have held. They will ask you about your strengths and weaknesses. When it comes to weaknesses change a positive into a negative. Example. Your a perfectionist. You tend to do things correctly even if you have to do it again or take extra time to do it the first time. They might ask what you would do in certain situations. However, they may not ask about certain stuff too. For example they my not ask about your personal life. I.E. kids, sexual preference..... Good luck. Remember to be friendly and smile.

I am a bit confused by your posting.  Do you mean you were looking for a job, or rather you are seeking someone with those qualifications?

No, you are dealing with the government, go and fill out their darn form. during the interview, explain to the person how you have been looking for work as well as the job , date and time you sent an application, it would help if you had had an interview and was turned down.
