tell me about yourself - is the most common question\ndont tell the manager where you were born and stuff like that. make sure all your answer relate to the job your applying for.\n\nsince its a grocery store, probably a lot of questions on customer service like:\n\nhow would you deal with an angry or irate customer?\nwhat are your strengths and weaknessses?\n\n\ni dont know how long a grocery store interview would be but i had an interview with a bank and that was about 40 minutes\n\nremmeber to be confident, postive, and make good eye contact.\ngood luck

They'll ask you about your phone skills, computer skills, people skills...things like that.  They will want to know how self-disciplined you are (can you work somewhat unsupervised, will you get the job done..etc)  They may give you scenarios and want to know how you'd handle the situation.  \n\nBe as professional and mature as possible.  That's they key....\n\nGood luck!

The interviewers will be much more pleased to hear from you which current issues you yourself find interesting, even if (or especially if) they do not quite agree with you.\n\nThe big suggestion for the interview is to BE YOURSELF.  You cannot hope to pretend instead to be whatever you think they want.  What you think would probably be wrong, and whether it was or not, it would be obvious to them that you were pretending, so DO NOT DO IT.  Let them see exactly what they will get if they decide to choose you, and trust them to choose correctly.  Good luck.

1. summarise your training & experience related to the job.\n2. any volunteer work related to the job\n3. give yourself a boost by outlining the best of your personality - reliablility, people skills, persistence, punctuality\n4. some good phone references are useful - check with the people you choose first.

1. Learn as much as you can about the company you are applying to, and if possible, learn about the division/dept. you will be working for.\n\n2. Try to intuit what they want to hear. It isn't that you want to tell them what they want to hear - interviewers are smart, and know when they are being played. But by knowing what characteristics they are looking for, you know how to emphasize those spots on your resume that align with that.\n\n3. Be prepare to be quizzed on work scenarios, ethical scenarios, hypothetical teamwork challenges. Try and formulate answers in advance to typical hypothetical workday issues that might be raised.\n\n4. Don't sit until your interviewer asks you to take a seat.\n\n5. Do as much listening as you can. While a good interviewer is there mostly to listen and not to talk, the good interviewee will often do the same. Don't be silent - if asked a question, answer it. But take the opportunities you do have to listen, and pay attention. What you are told will work to your advantage, if you are paying attention - it will make you seem alert if you make clear you have absorbed it.\n\n6. Don't fidget or show signs of anxiousness. Channel your nervous energy into being animated and appearing interested and/or excited.

It's okay to say that you're nervous jokingly.  \nSome interviewers like that - it let's them know your human.\n\nA couple of things that might help:\n1.) Have your resume for them, and keep one for yourself so that if you're at a loss of words, look at your resume to think of something.\n\n2.) It's okay to make up a few situations.  If they ask you if you've done something you've never done before, it's okay to fib a little bit.  Just don't go over the top.\n\n3.) Stay focused on their eyes.  That lets your interviewer know you're serious about this job.  Try not to look scared though - looking nervous might be okay, but looking scared isn't.\n\n4.) Come to the interview prepared to talk about certain things.  For example, I'm a teacher.  So I know I need to think about (1) disciplining students (2) communicating with parents (3) activities for students (4) lesson plans, etc.  You need to think about the things in your field too before you go to the interview.\n\n5.) Basics: Come on early to the interview, Dress professionally, and always be kind to EVERYONE.  Even if there's a guy whose job is to shine your shoes, be kindest to him!  \n\n6.) Make a joke or two when you're nervous.  \n\n7.) Drink water before an interview, but nothing with a lot of sugar or caffeine.  Lay off the orange juice, coffee, soda - go for the water!\n\nGood Luck!

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!

We interview every year for new aides.  Some of the questions might be:\nDo you read or write another language besides English?\nHow much experience have you had with computers and technology?\nDo you prefer clerical work or working directly with children?\nIs there an age range of student with which you feel most comfortable?\nIf you were having difficulties with a child( academic or behavior) how would you handle it?\nIf a child hit you, what would you do?\nIf we are interviewing for a specific job, we might ask questions tailored for a specific job.  Good luck.

I would hope for the job interview to be laid back, and no so intense! I'm not sure i can answer your survey question as i haven't really ever worked before, but you might want to reword your question as hen you say survey people think they just need to chose wither a, b, c, d.

I've been for many interview before and interviewed before, and basically they just want to know if you would be good for the job they're offering. Whatever do you, don't just say what they want to hear, its so obvious and leaves a bad impression. Be honest and answer the questions positively, happily and confidently. You're allowed to be nervous, everyone is, and I can tell you now that the person interviewing you is more nervous than you are! Honest truth! They ask questions about your history, why do you want to be here, why did you leave there, what do you plan for your future, what are you good at, what do you like and enjoy doing. It varies from interviewer to interviewer. What is the most essential key, is having a good CV, that gets your foot in the door. First impressions always last - remember that. If needs be, get a graphic designer to set up your CV on CD in .pdf format, looks super professional!! Let your CV stand out from the crowd and you'll be a sure winner!  Good luck sweedie!

Forget the cleavage!  When I'm interviewing for a position, I look for professional appearance and attitude and sexy does NOT impress!  (A hiring manager who responds to that has ulterior motives; do you really want to work in that kind of environment?)\n\nDress conservatively, one step above the position you're interviewing for.  Leave the excess jewelry at home.  VERY light on the perfume, if at all.  Conservative hairstyle.  Absolutely squeaky clean.\n\nBe straightforward and completely honest in your responses.  Be engaging without being syrupy-sweet.\n\nHave questions ready for the interviewer as well.  Since you're being called back, as for more details on the new position.\n\nAppear interested in the position.\n\nBe on time!  5 minutes early is perfect; way too early is better than late, but isn't very good.\n\nThere are no canned phrases that will make you stand out from the crowd.  We've heard all the goofy stuff already and it will only hurt your chances.\n\nThe fact that that they're calling you back for another position is EXCELLENT.  You've already passed muster, really, and unless you truly fall on your sword you should get an offer this time around.

I've conducted about 500 interviews on candidates and what we are looking for is\n1) Integrity\n2) Honesty\n3) Can do attitude\n4) A person that is effective\n5) the person who is likely to be the most successful in a position.\n\nThat being said, in the case of asking what is your weakness, tell the interviewer something that is a weakness of yours, but follow up by stating what you are doing to overcome that weakness.\n\nFor instance, one of the people mentioned procrastination. If you are a procrastinator, share what you are doing to ensure you will get things done on time.\n\nPeople who answer this question without admitting to any type of weakness are quickly bypassed by me because they have just shot their credibility with me. If they cannot admit they have any type of a weakness, this is a signal to me that this person will never admit when they make a mistake and will avoid the truth. They also may have difficulty working in a team setting because they sound like they have an ego problem.\n\nSo your best bet is to answer this honestly.\n\nLying may get you the job, but if you lie on the interview and the find out, they can terminate you, or at the least, you have damaged your credibility.

For me, I pray for Godly wisdom that I may answer the questions to the best of my abilities.  Also, be prepared to answer questions that you may not necessarily think are important, but have an underlying value to the interviewer.\n\nMost importantly, be yourself, be professionally dressed (regardless of company), and be confident in your answers.\n\nI wouldn't drink anything with caffeine and listen to classical music on the way to the interview.  It will help keep your nerves calmed.

Hehe, I'll keep you in thought but stay calm.\n\nRemember to practice your interview with a friend or family member, have your resume, and other important documents on hand, and to think positive. :)\n\nGood luck!

Sorry that this answer may be a little late for you, but it may be of future  help.\n\nBehavioral based interviewing is interviewing based on discovering how the interviewee acted in specific employment-related situations. The logic is that how you behaved in the past will predict how you will behave in the future i.e. past performance predicts future performance.\n\nIn a traditional interview, you will be asked a series of questions which typically have straight forward answers like "What are your strenghts and weaknesses?" or "What major challenges and problems did you face? How did you handle them?" or "Describe a typical work week."\n\nIn a behavioral interview, an employer has decided what skills are needed in the person they hire and will ask questions to find out if the candidate has those skills. \n\nInstead of asking how you would behave, they will ask how you did behave. The interviewer will want to know how you handled a situation, instead of what you might do in the future.\n\nThese sites should give you more insight.  I hope your interview went well.

From friends I have in this field of work, I was told their interviews dealt much with how they would react in a given situation... I guess your studies in Psychology should help there. I know for the in the state I live in... job interviews involving law enforcement and high security work are drawn from the MMPI or MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory). There are a multitude of websites you can research such interview questions.\n\nI know you can count on the interviewers will be looking for strength of character, quick-thinking, and integrity. Good luck.
