question about job interview?

Fr. Chuck's right again.  You weren't convicted of anything, so you are correct in checking "no" on your application.  The term "background check" covers a lot of territory, and what's actually uncovered in a background check depends a lot on who's doing the checking.  With a bank, I wouldn't worry a whole lot about it.  Keep in mind that in most states, if you aren't hired, you have a right to ask why.  It might be worth the peace of mind in asking, just so you'd know if potential employers are somehow finding out about your past mistake.  Good luck to you.

Dress appropriately for the job you are applying for - if it's in an office, wear something professional; if it is a fast-food restaurant, wear a nice skirt or nice khakis and a sweater.\n\nDon't wear a lot of jewelry.\n\nDon't wear perfume/cologne - it will probably offend the interviewer (he may not like perfumes, may have scent sensitivity, or may not like the scent you've chosen).\n\nWear a watch - a sign that you care about punctuality.\n\nBe pleasant and conversational, but still be yourself.  Ask the interviewer specific questions about the job - but, on the first interview, don't ask about salary, benefits, vacation time, smoke breaks, etc.\n\nGood luck!

The most difficult thing when hiring is to know who's best for the job. In my experience, the best people are those who have the best attitude and not only the best skills. Having said this, I would suggest you send an email to follow up and say that you liked very much the job and what you liked very much what you learned about the company and the position in the phone interview. Mention that you hope you were able to convey why you believe your experience and carreer goals are 100% in line with what you understand they are looking for. You can also add that you would like the chance to further discuss this opportunity in an interview at their earliest convenience.\nafter that...patience...\ngood luck!

Appreciate the chance to help you.  I have been in this situation before.  Here is what I did: \n1 - Explain your situation to your new potential employer. \n2 - Ask the potential  employer if they would be willing to schedule your interview during your lunch hour. \n3 - Ask them if they would be willing to interview you during after-hours.  I had one employer who actually suggested that first.  When I told them that I had to go home to change (because we had a jeans-casual day) they told me to come to the interview in my jeans!  I got the job with a huge sign-on bonus.  Never hurts to ask. \n4 - IF they are an employer who provides services during night or early morning hours, they may be able to interview you at those times - just ask.  \nIf you need help on the best dates to apply for a job, send a resume, seek a promotion, etc., visit  http://www.AstroWishes.com

Yes, you ask them during the negotiations, or even right up front in the interview.  Work to live, don't live to work: (potential) employers aren't superior, it's ok to ask questions about things that will affect your life in a very big way.

I was told that the best thing you can say is "I really want this job because..." Apparently 75% of people who say that get the job, it seems pretty obvious but most people don't think to actully say that they want the job that they're applying for! That is the best advice I ever got regarding interviews and it really does work.

My first interview was 3 years ago, when I wanted to change my current job. But I have bigger experience from a interview for a job in company on Malta this summer. Job was in Libya. My big mistake was that I have shown a too much thrill during interview and was shy to ask about sallary. Employer noticed that, and probably thought that I am some desperate guy and offered me very small sallary which I refused.\nI learned very much from that interview. Now I am expecting another call on interview for a job and not going to repeat mistake.I think that advices from book are very good. It is all from peoples experiences.

I just had an interview today, and it wasn't for a federal job, but I've been in a lot of interviews, and there are just some questions that keep popping up in one form or another.  I'll try to remember as many as I can:\n\nWhy do you want to work here?\n\nWhat in your experience qualifies you to work here?\n\nWhat are your strengths/weaknesses?\n\nWhat would old supervisors and coworkers say about you?(positive and negative)\n\nWhat have you done to show you can work outside of the box?  \n\nTell us about a time when you have solved a problem/conflict with coworker?\n\nWhat do you do to create a good work environment?\n\nWhat do you do in stressful situations/deadlines?\n\nOther than that, the questions will probably be job specific.  This particular interview asked me about my communication and mentoring skills.  \n\nAnyway, good luck.  Dress a half step up from what you would normally expect to wear at this job.  Take a few deep breaths.  Good luck.  I hope you get it.

DO:  research the company and the posiion before you go, that way your answers will relate to them and how your skills will fit the job and the company, dress appropriately for the interview, and look people in the eye\n\nDON'T:  talk bad about past jobs and/or bosses, try to make jokes that may be offensive, or give only yes or no answers...provide a reason for your answer

If you want the job, you should do the following:\n\n1. Show up for the interview five minutes early.\n2. Be clean and wear clean clothes.\n3. Your clothes should be appropriate for a job interview: no bare midriffs, no tattered jeans, no flip-flops. A woman should wear a skirt or dressy slacks. Low-cut stuff is for bars, not job interviews.\n4. Tasteful jewelry is fine but avoid nose rings, ultra-big earrings and so forth. You might want to minimize facial piercings, if you have them.\n5. Look into the eyes of your interviewer.\n6. Answer questions honestly.\n7. Don't use a lot of slang and trendy language. \n8. Shake hands.\n9. Ask a couple of appropriate questions about the job. "What day is payday?" and "I'd really like to work in sporting goods someday -- do you think that's possible?" are appropriate. "Can I bring my boyfriend to the Christmas party?" is not.\n10. I know that this is a nerve-wracking experience but try to relax and be natural.\n\nAnd... Good Luck!

If it is during and interview, tell the truth: for example, I am goo in computers, but I am not as organized ad I would like to be. Always say the positive points first and then the negatives, everybody has weaknesses nobody is perfect, if you do not say them you are lying

My favorite part of the interview is when I get to ask questions. They love this one: if you were to hire me for this position what would be one bit of wisdom you would tell me to help me be succesful in this orginization. \nanother important question: What would my first task be and what difficulties should I expect to encounter.. i have lots more but trying to keep it short so you can prepare...

All interviews usually ask the same questions over and over again. For example:\n\n1) What are your strengths?\n2) What are your weaknesses?\n3) What experiences have you had that will help you if you were to receive this job?\n4) What would you change about yourself?

practice the types of questions that you think they will ask. Role play with a friend so that you have some practice. Most of all remember that they would not be interviewing you unless they didn't already believe that you are a good fit for the position. And SMILE!! It will tell them that you are happy to have the chance to interview and that you will bring a positive attitude to their company!\n\nGood Luck on your interview!!

Yes, we do, for the most part.  Remember that every interviewer is different in what they are looking for, and part of this depends on what type of job you're applying for.  For example, if I was interviewing somebody for a position where they're speaking in front of people all the time, I would want to see that they can manage their nerves so it might count against them.\n\nFor most positions, however, I will totally take into account that a person seems nervous.  I am simply looking for the "best" person for the position, and would hate to pass over a good person just because of nerves.  \n\nI know you didn't ask this, but let me give you the best advice I can for being nervous in an interview:  \n\n#1. Those of us who interview people are just people, too.  Remember that going in - recite it to yourself during the interview.  \n\n#2.  Whatever you do, concentrate on being you.  Faking your way through an interview can be caught by a good interviewer and actually decreases your chance of being offered the position. \n\n#3.  Think through answers to common questions.  Statistically, count on an interviewer asking you for your strengths and weaknesses, for past experience in the area.  Prepare for them to ask you why you are best for the job.  They may ask questions about how you handle conflict.  Don't memorize answers, but think them through so they don't catch you by surprise.\n\n#4.  Tell the interviewer that you're nervous.  Explain why.  You could say something like, "I'm very excited about this job possibility, and I just want you to know that I'm a bit nervous about sitting here".  Again, as an interviewer, I have so much respect for people who do that - it would score you positive points.\n\n#5.  Finally, if you're really, really nervous about this, find a few friends who will act as interviewers to allow you to practice.  It might feel silly, but it might take the edge off of your nerves! \n\nHey, good luck in this!
