It's the professional way of writing plus, it gives you the opportunity to explain anything that you left off from your resume.  Things like the details that you left out because you were running out of room.  Plus you can point them to an area of your resume that is most relavant to the job you are applying to.  \n\nDon't stress about it too much, the cover letter and the resume are only there to get you to the next stage of the interviewing process.  The Interview itself is where you sell yourself to the hiring manager and show that you are the perfect person for the job.

Have a real story about a job experience that makes you look good.  You can describe how you helped a customer that did not understand how something worked.  This allows the interviewer to see some of your personality and relates to the job.  A good combination that will separate you from the other candidates.

i wouldn't demand an interview... may ask if they are scheduling interviews or when you would hear about a possible interview, but i wouldn't demand one.  you want to appear confident, but not too pushy.

You want answers to interview questions? Sorry, but there is no absolute right or wrong answer in an interview.  The employer asks questions not necessarily to see how smart you are, but to see if you're a good match for the company. What kind of person are you? Can you take orders from superiors? Are you a team player?\nJust think of what kinds of questions they might ask and  practice your answers.  That's about all you can do.

it does not hurt to let them contribute to the hiring process, but definitely do not let them do the interview. many field personel are not versed in the questions that can and cannot be asked by law, and you could end up in a lawsuit very quickly.

Questions Employers Cannot Ask\n\nJust like there are many questions that an interviewer can ask, there are many that he cannot ask. Some questions are illegal to ask. Many people don’t realize that there are off limit questions for employers. That is why I felt that it was important to include them.\n\nWhen or if you do encounter some of these questions there are ways that you can choose to respond to them. Since some people would probably answer them, it is good to know that you don’t have to answer those kinds of questions. You can simply ask how those questions pertain to the job you’re applying for. Here is a list of the questions that are illegal for an interviewer to ask.\n\nQuestions about your age are not allowed during an interview because it should not be a factor upon hiring you. \n\nQuestions about your marital status are inappropriate and can easily be mistaken for sexual harassment. This question also applies to whether or not you have children, your child care plans etc. This type of question also includes any other aspect of your personal life that should not effect your chances of being hired. \n\nQuestions about your personal health are also off limits. \n\nQuestions about your ethnicity should not be asked by an interviewer or answered by the person being given the interview. \n\nYour sexual preference cannot be a factor in your chances of being hired either. This type of question should not be asked. \n\nWhether or not you have disabilities is a question that should not be asked either. \n\nYour arrest record is information that doesn’t have to be answered. All an interviewer can ask you is if you have ever been convicted of a crime, they cannot ask you what for or how many times. \n\nBasically, personal information cannot be asked by an interviewer. It is illegal, and you do not have to respond. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat medical questions can employers ask on job applications?\n\nEmployers cannot ask disability-related questions before an offer of employment is made. In general, this means that employers cannot ask questions on a job application that are likely to elicit information about a disability. For example, employers cannot ask whether an applicant has a physical or mental impairment, has received workers compensation, or was ever addicted to illegal drugs. For more examples, visit Pre-Offer, Disability-Related Questions: Dos and Don'ts at \nThe above paragraph was taken from the below web-site. I have interviewed canidates for several years now and you can not ask those questions. There are laws under the ADA (Americans with Disibilities Act) for starters that don't allow it.

The bigger the company, the more rules they have regarding hiring. They might have a rule that says they CANNOT promote from within until they've interviewed a certain number of candidates.  I know of one company that always puts their ads in the newspaper that no one ever reads (we have 2 newspapers in my city, one's legit and widely read, the other is run by a cult I think) because they DON'T want people to apply--- they've got a candidate in mind but can't promote them unless no qualified applicants turn up.   The company I work for does the opposite--- when they have a certain person in mind for a job, they write the job description in such a way that no one already on staff would be qualified to apply.  That lets them bring their own ringer in without having to turn any of us down.\n\nThere's a lot of reasons why a company may run an interview but not really intend to do any hiring.  There's not a lot you can do about it; that's just the way the world works. Keep looking for a job and try not to carry how bitter you are about this situation into your next interview. One day you will probably be the underqualified one being promoted from within and someone else will be thinking the same thing about you.

make it interesting enough so that they invite you in for the interview and then show up naked with flowers for the ladies and cigars for the men. \nSeriously.. Stretching the truth is accepted as the normal standard nowadays.. but outright lying on something that can easily be looked into will always get you fired before you are even hired..\nChances are they are looking at several prospective leads for the same job.. if you are to have any chance of getting it. and all are equally qualified.. it will come down to the smaller things.. like...  looking professional, paying close attention to the wording of your resume.. punctuation/grammar .. that sort of thing. Look smart on the inside and you will build confidence in them to think highly of you.\nAnd, duh ... show up on time :)\nGood Luck :)

Structured Interviews, as you would've already laid the skeleton for your thoughts and views, you will not hear (or ignore) some information, which could be useful or be the key. However, i guess this wil depend on personal experience and habits.

Nope, it's confidential. The only salaries published are those of the board members.

When an interviewer asks that question they are giving you the oppurtunity to really sell yourself.  They want to know what is going to set you apart from everyone else that has been interviewed.  Use it as a way to really play up your good qualities.

It's much like interviewing someone from the Mafia.\n\nThey are not going to admit they belong and they are not going to say anything.

I think it is important to have good eye contact.  I would prefer that the person doesn't take notes and ask questions pertaining to the topic at hand not something covered 15 minutes ago.  If you come across something you don't understand ask immediately so you aren't thinking about a topic that was covered 10 minutes ago and missing all the new information.  I also think it is important to be yourself because you really don't know what the company is looking for regarding your personality and if you try to guess you will end up in a company that is not conducive to your way of life. I would do plenty of research.  Many of the individuals that interview don't know everything about the company and if you teach them something without making them feel stupid you are ahead of everyone else.

You don't have to let them know anything.\n\nIf you REALLY need this job, I wouldn't tell them.  It WILL become a factor in whether or not they'll hire you.  If you don't necessarily need the job, then it would be good practice to be honest.  Afterall, you will be leaving them for a short time.\n\nThe interviewer will ask you about your previous experience, your education, your knowledge of retail, customer service, and if you can handle a cash register and sales tax and such.  They're not legally able to ask you about pregnancy, so they won't.  But they might say something like, "Do you have plans on going on vacation or anything that might cause you to night work for a few weeks?"  That's where you'll need to be careful in your answer.  Be prepared for a good response.\n\nGood Luck on the Future!

It may stop you.. I think in the section where they ask would you like to disclose any additional information or during your interview tell them the situation.  I think its always best to disclose the information and maybe if you have a recommendation letter from someone at your program that speaks highly of you.. that may help!1 Good luck!

You do not have to tell them. If they call your job it is illegal for them to state if you got fired or not. The only info they can give out is your hire date and day last work. It is up to you rather you want to be honest with them.
