What should I tell potential employers?

Tell the truth, explain to the caller that you have not moved yet, but are interested in the position that has been advertised/ posted.  Since a face to face is out of the question at the moment, would the interviewer agree to a "screening (preliminary) interview" over the phone.\n\nIf you have the qualifications they seek they'll agree, out of curiosity if nothing else.  Besides, you'll have a leg up on the competition due to your resourcefulness, ingenuity,  and integrity.

My advice to you is to let them know what you offer; probably the best way to do this is to get a personal interview. It can be a little difficult to get one of these, but with some behind the scenes networking you might be able to do it. I don't know your full situation completely, but I can tell you that there are certain keywords people look for in your resumes, so be sure and include those. I'm not an expert in your feild, so I couldn't tell you what the keywords are, but once you get past the resume part and start with the actual interviewing, this is your place to shine. Be straightfoward, be enthusiastic, let the company know what you can offer them. Companies are generally looking for someone with the highest skill set to fill a position for the lowest amount of money, and being a young graduate, you fit that description. Companies also are looking for people who want to move up and progress in their particular company, not just somebody who is going to get experience at their firm them move to another one. Let them know you are looking to grow with the company, that you're interested in intracompany promotion. All of these will key the people into you, and help you get the job. \nLastly, I would advise you to not give up. This seems simple, but a lot of people think that once a company says no, that's it. This is not always the case. PROVE yourself. PROVE your dedication. People respect that; I've seen persistance work time and time again.

Be honest, be friendly, make eye contact and let them know that you are a hard worker (if you are, if you aren't then resolve to be a hard worker).\n\nHave an idea what your goals are for the near term and longer term.  Employers want ambitious employees.\n\nGood luck!

Why would you want to hide it?  If you are searching for a blue-collar job because you just need a job for the interim,then I say proudly put it on your application and tell them that you are looking for a job with growth potential, you know like management positions, district managers, ect.........

What should I inform them of?

Tell them thank-you for their reply, that you remain very interested in working for them because [insert 1 or 2 relevent reasons], and that yes you would be grateful if they would keep your application on file and contact you if an opportunity becomes available.\n\nAlways best to keep on good polite relations with companies, even those who have rejected your application. It gives off good messages, and companies DO keep these things on file and it DOES happen that candidates are called back. Not always of course, but don't assume that they are just being polite and will throw your CV in the bin. \n\nGood luck!

Wear what you would wear to the job. Do not lie. Learn a little about the store before the interview and throw in a few facts if it fits into the conversation. Don't ask about time off and benefits.

i think the most telling question will be a question that verifies the candidates qualifications for the job s/he is seeking.     so think of a situation that the potential employee might find him/herself in, and ask how they would handle that particular situation.    \n\nfor instance, you are interviewing a potential customer service manager.    tell the candidate that s/he has witnessed a staff member being rude to a customer.      What do you do?

Take a walk and concentrate on how well you're going to do, how every answer will be crisp, informative and complete, how bubbly with excitement you're going to be (not how nervous it makes you). \n\nEmployers want people with energy, whom are attentive and listen to instruction carefully. Then they want answers in as few words as possible so as not to waste their time. Ask before expounding too much. They will ask you if they need more.\n\nTry to say nothing negative about previous employers, or blame anyone for anything. Focus on strengths and how happy working for this company will make you. Do research and find out their business and make comments on that. Their company reports and newsletter from the company president are at the library.\n\nGood luck.

SHOW UP...\n\n\nDress good be confident and be prepared for anything that gets thrown your way..\n\nLook up some history on the company try to tell them something they might not think you know about the company.

Do NOT tell them now. While you owe professionalism to your employer, do not tell them "what-ifs" and "maybes". You will look like you have trouble making up your mind should you decide not to leave and permanently damage your career there.\n\nWhen the decision is made, THEN tell them. But only after you are certain that you are going to leave. If you are in a key position, try your hardest to give them as much notice as possible so that they can start replacing you.\n\nWhen you tell them, be professional and courteous, you never know when you may run into these people again.\n\nBest of luck!

Generally employers do not want to hear about what you want to do in the future but what you can do for them right now.  Your friend needs to reign himself in.  It's great he wants to be president someday but how is that relevent to the person who's supposed to hire him?\n\nHe's much better off staying away from his life ambitions and discussing directly what he can do for the campaign, how hard he will work and the rewards he will feel by working on said campaign.\n\nAlso, I don't recommend ever saying you'll postpone school for someone else.  That sounds more desparate than earnest.  Rather, remember it's no one's business what you do with your own time.  It's only important for your prospective employer to know that you will be dedicated and not let anything get in the way of your work.  How you manage that isn't important to them, nor should you just offer information like that.\n\nThink of a cover letter and a resume as trying to get a date.  You want the person you're interested in to be intrigued but you don't want to show em everything you've got.  Let them want to ask you questions and keep them interested.

dress up and know something about the company   wait for the question before you talk; dont rattle on and on about yourself  be brief and tell why you want the job and what you can do for the company ; dont ask the salary they will make an offer later

Say something like "I am looking to expand my knowledge and skillset."\n9 out of 10 employers won't call the past boss anyways.  And if they do, they aren't SUPPOSED to ask the details of why you left.

Make sure you dress appropriately and don't chew gum.  Be comfortable talking about yourself because you're going to have to convince them you're the right person for the job.  Make sure you've done your research on the company you're applying for and exactly what they are looking for to fill the position.  Good luck!

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

Don't just send the resume, send a cover letter telling them your specific situation.  Explain why you would like to work for them, and even detail some relevant experience listed on your resume.
