What is expected on a second interview with a potiental employer?

There are two possibilities.  One is that there are two hiring managers that do not share notes, thus the second interview is really another first interview.  The second possibility is that they have more detailed questions about you from the first interview regarding things that specifically interest them.  In that case, you'll be asked a much shorter list of questions.  Either way, a second interview is usually a good thing.  \n\nGood luck!

i think it depends on how long its been since the interview. i wouldnt call the next day, but if its been over a week and you still havent heard from them, then i would call.

- What strengths do you bring?\n- What have you done at your previous employer that I should know about?

Question 1 is looking for you ablitiy to be comfortable and be able to communicate with confidence....SOOO talk about something that you are confident with. Perhaps a hobby you enjoy. \n\nQuestion 2, you dont ever want to bad mouth you previous employer so say something like you are looking to gain new experiences, or looking for a company that can offer you more opportunity to move around into other positions... Whatever your reason for leaving is.  IF you don't get along with your boss you can use one of my suggestions. \n\nStrength and weaknesses:  Those are always the tough questions.  Who wants to admit they are weak? \n\nThis give the interviewer an idea of personality. \n\nTake a while to really think about what you want to say for these. Write down your answers. Get a couple differnet ones even so you will have a choice of what to talk about.

The mere fact that you got a second interview is a good sign. And, I doubt they'd do a background check if they aren't at least interested in you.

You will be asked two types of questions:\n\nA) Informative: These questions are the "Tell me about yourself" variety - where you went to school, what you studied, etc.\n\nB) Behavioral: These questions will be in regards to how you react under certain situations (i.e., Tell me about a time when you...).  These questions are designed to see how you react under certain situations depending on the job you're applying for.  \n\nIn group interviews, it's really a "Do we like this person enough to hire them?" type of scene.  Just be yourself, don't be nervous, know something about the company as well as the position you're applying for, ask questions about the job and the company culture, and finally, send thank you notes to all those who interview you.\n\nBottom line: Your interview should tell the hiring managers three things - why are you interviewing with us (as opposed to The Gap), why should we hire you (over the hundreds of other applicants that we talked to today and all this week), and what makes you unique.\n\nGood luck....

I think you've done a good job so far! It was great that you sent a thank you to the interviewer. I wouldn't bug them too much because they probably have a certain amount of time that they are allowing to accept applications. As an employer, I had a potential employee send me a nice, handwritten note a few days after the interview telling me that she would enjoy working for me and to please consider her for the job. It was short and pleasant and I didn't feel pressured. I ended up hiring her and she and I truly do work well together. Aside from that, you need to be patient. Good luck!

It all depends on the interview...if you felt it went well, there is a good possibility. What they are trying to tell you is that you may not have all of the things they are looking for and if no one else comes forward with better qualifications then they will probably call you.\nBest thing for yo to do is continue to look for work, if someone wants you really bad, they will hire you on the spot, but still interview. \nYou can also do a check up call.\nCheck with them and see if they have hired someone, let them know that u r really interested in the job, also it doesn't hurt to send them a thank you note whether you get the job or not, to let them know you appreciate their  interest in you. Because if they hire someone else and it doesn't work out, then you have your foot further in the door...\n\nGood Luck

I managed a clothing store for 2 years, and have done nothing but retail for the most part.  I asked the same ?'s for every interview.  \nTell me some things about yourself.\nWhat would you do if your supervisor made a decision you strongly disagreed with?\nTell me some of the characteristics of a supervisor you'd like to work for?\nHave you ever witnessed anyone steal anything?\nWhat do you consider a satisfactory attendance record?\nDo you have any restrictions regarding your availability?\nWhen we check your past employer references, what will they tell us about you?\nWe emphazise excellence and expect our employees to acheive high standards, how does this pressure make you feel?\nTell me some of your best qualities?\nHow about some areas where you could use improvement?\nDo you consider yourself to be organized, how?\nHow would you handle a situation if a friend who wasn't entitled to your discount asked you for one anyway?\nCan't think of any more!!!!\nHope that helps.\nWhatever you do, SMILE and make lots of eye contact.

treat it like a face to face interview that you can do in your pajamas. It is a common practice for the employer to weed through a bunch of prospective canidates. Hopefully you will get a call back to come in for an in person interview.\n\n Good luck

Well, hopefully before you accept an interview, you would be sure that this is a position that you think you are qualified for and if you know you have the qualifications therein lies the answer to the question - you know why so use that for your answer.  I am presently going through the interview process.  It's a hairy situation though, when you know that the job that you applied for will be a bore.  Don't do like I did and get into a situation where one of the interviews ask you the question - "We can tell from your conversation, your job ratings and your previous job experience that you could handle this job but we'd like to know if you think this job will challenge you".  Well, the right answer is always to tell the truth which I did and well, you guessed it, I didn't get the job.  Good thing I didn't want it but sometimes you don't know that until you get to the interview.  This is the first time that that has happened to me so I tried to be gracious and handle this as a learning experience and it has helped me in subsequent interviews.  Hope that answered your question.

No. \n\nYou should memorize them, and then work them into the coversation when appropriate.\n\nIf you want to impress your potential employer, you should be prepared to ask questions that show you LISTENED to the interviewer during your discussion. \n\nYou should be able to "interview the potential employer" by asking no more than three or four questions.\n\nThree well-conceived questions asked based on your conversation with the interviewer is plenty. You should be able to mentally formulate three brief questions, that when combined, give you a resaonable impression of the job environment.\n\nThe best questions are the one's that prompt a three or four sentence answer from the interviewer. Do not ask Y/N questions, if possible.\n\nYou do not need more than three questions until you go back for a second interview. Then you need 10 questions ready and be prepared to ask five or more of them depending on the responsed. The key phrase is the show that you can LISTEN and DIRECTLY RESPOND to the interviewer.

In my opinion you should always wear professional attire even though the company has a very relaxed or laid back dress code.\n\nThis is key for making a first impression you cannot change.\n\nAs for your second interview I would recommend that you do not wear a nice pair of jeans, high heeled boots, a sweater and a khaki jacket. \n\nYou should wear a professional business suit or a pair of nice slacks with a nice blouse and jacket with business style shoes.\nYou never know who you will be meeting with.\n\nRemember the person who interviewed you already has a job and you trying to obtain one.\n\nCheck out the link below.\n\nBest of luck!

Follow-up on your applications by calling the company you applied to. Verify that they received your application and ask them about setting up an interview.

Your prospective employer will probably already have somebody in mind to examine you who knows what standards your new company has etc and that your new company can trust to be completely honest with them. Otherwise you could be typing your own, for all anybody knows. See what I mean?

a 2 part job application sounds like an application ( the actual paper application) " part 1". and then, if the employer likes what he/she read, they will call you in for a meeting to get to know you. " part 2". and from the 2 experiences then decide to employ you or not.

Chances are greater than 80% that yes, you'll get a job.\n\nHowever, the 3rd interview can just be a further refinment of whether or not the company wants to hire you.  The reason for this is they may not see you as a direct fit, but a potential fit, and comming back for a 3rd interview will answer their questions.\n\nChances are, however, you probably will still get the job.  Good luck!
