I was just sent a "digital interview " to do as next steps I have never done one of these! Very interesting but I.think I am now over thinking it???? I stopped from proceeding because now I feel like i definetly need to dress up, do my makeup as if i am going to a real interview, i NEED to find the perfect place to do this? Im thinking outside, or in my office? Do i want to do this more personal, more of me, idk!!??? HELP! HAS anyone done these?? What is your suggestions? Pointers?? Any advice!!! Please help!!

When you are in a job interview and are asked this question, how do you respond? Does the interviewer want to know what we like to do in our personal life or our work habits (intangible stuff). I don't like to bring up volunteer work because I don't do it to gain anything other than helping another person. Any suggestions on this??

This is informational and synthesized data from research I independently gathered, and don't forget we have this thing called a "Gut Instinct", use it!!! First off, even if you have received and interview offer, do not stop applying. This article is going to list ways to tell you how your interview went, if you are most likely getting the job, or if you should just keep moving along. So, we will start with the signs that tell you, it's a "no" and time to move on. The interviewer doesn't seem interested and cuts it short; They seem distracted, checking emails or looking at the clock. The interviewer does not mention pay or salary at all. He/She does not find out your exact timeline of when you can start;how they will reach out next to you. The interviewer doesnt try to sell you on their company or the job. If the interviewer offers any career advice that's no so great. Negative Body language signs prove very useful in gaining insight related to what your interviewer is thinking. Some include: the interviewer stops writing or taking notes, he crosses his arms, she flairs her nostrils, they shift their shoulders and move their body or feet in the direction, to point towards the exit sign; he gives you a momentary smirk and a raised eyebrow, she reads your resume through the entire interview, basically saying ( "I'd rather be anywhere but here"). Some other ways to tell you most likely will not be receiving a job offer include: you were late(very big red flag); The interviewer makes either of the following to statements " You're over qualified for this position" or " We are still looking at some more candidates". If you constantly pestered the recruiter pre and/or post interview, that could get back to a hiring manager, and could be the difference between you and the same qualified applicant. A nice thank you note is proper etiquette here, but that's it, and a follow up e-mail/call in one week, no more then that is acceptable. Numerous calls could cause employers to find you to be annoying and needy, and that never sells you well. If you felt like all went well in the interview, and you do not hear anything back after the week, it could very well be that your references couldn't or wouldn't respond. Some company's are very strict about vetting all new employee candidates. Some other signs, they don't respond back to your e-mail or thank you note. The employer re-post's the position back on the career site. The interviewer wishes you luck in your search. You have not heard back from the interviewer in 1 week ( That is the cut-off). They were not enthusiastic or at all excited during your interview. They didn't give you a tour of the company or introduce you to other employees and/or team. To be clear from earlier, if the interview is cut short, if it is under 30 minutes, that's not a good sign. This may sound odd, but showing up early, is as bad as showing up too late, and even worse, if it's way early. Too early is usually annoying to an interviewer, because it causes them stress; they know your ought there, and other people/staff start noticing. The staff/people are wondering why your waiting. If you are super early, it gives off a hint of desperation. It's not the best self representation. I'm sure you were probably, eager, anxious, excited and nervous, but still the general rule on this topic is "arrive 15 minutes and no sooner"( you could always go early and hang out around the corner. Relax, get a drink of water). However, you definitely don't want to be rushing in at the last few minutes before the interview either ( this could make you feel anxious, chaotic, unprepared and no time to calm down). Here are some examples of statements you never want to hear at a job interview: " I called Company X, and they've never heard of you", " I was looking at your Facebook page and Twitter and noticed", " You have something on your teeth or something on your shirt", " Can I give you some advice", " I'm concerned about the spelling errors in your cover letter and resume", " We are still interviewing other candidates", " Are you sure this is the right position for you"?, and " We'll be in touch". Yikes!!!!! Some other telltale signs an interview isn't going well is if he/she keeps harping on a skill You don't have. It would be fair to worrry, if the interviewer stops taking notes or if they are late for your interview, making you wait. Another negative saying linked with poor hiring outcome is for the interviewer to say "the hiring manager is out of town, so we will get back to you when he/she gets back". In addition, If the job interview doesn't progress from formal to informal, you most likely will not be greeting the job. In general, if you don't hear back from an interested employer in 48-72 hrs, that's it(usually). If they say "Thank You For Your Time" it's not usually a good sign for possible employment, it's more like a farewell! Some more body language cues to watch for is if the interviewer.. walks you out with no hand shake; If they say " let me walk you out" it's typically not a popular statement/action that alerts you that this will be your new job, unless however, you have other positive signs from the list below, and they are just being polite, possibly showing you around the office as you leave, or may still be chatting about the position. In that case it could be a good sign. Nothing in here is black and white, but they are the majority. If you still get a job with any of these little tid-bits that I have researched or experienced, you were more of the exception to the rule, most likely.

Tomorrow, Look out for, " How I Know I've got this job" By: Stephanie G. Haffield

Hello, folks. Looking for employment in the field that you have went to school and trained on is a gamble like anything else in life. We have to fold and let go of those rejections and move on or stop looking. It is our choice. Some people will know when to fold it and take a break, reflecting on themselves, each interview (if any), regroup, and try their search at another angle. Here is what I learned about interviews:

1. Attitude, character and Personality matter. ON both sides of the interviewing.
2. Experience matters.
3. Age matters.
4. How well we are able to hear matters. (even though the employer will NEVER admit this).
5. The pay matters.
6. The click matters in the interview and it's not always about JUST how well we can do the job. Many are willing to train the right person; that is right for them.
7. Distance matters.
8. Face it, the truth of the matter is that some interviewers are just natural "assholes" or anal. ( I can not find a better word for them.). Some people just "suck at manners" (Erin Brockovich, 2000) We will run into them. We must NOT allow them the privilege of getting under our skin. They are NOT worth it. We are in control of that interview too. If we see it not going well, please, get up and walk away from that interview. Do not settle. They are NOT worth just "settling" for. Keep going.
9. We must keep a binder of all the interviews we have went to; the notes we have taken in the interviews, even a copy of the resume we sent to them. Because when we land that employment WE WANT, we can enjoy burning all the others in the binder. What pleasure.
10. Some interviewers are looking for those that they can walk over, use, and treat like a piece of nothing. I have no hints for these kinds of people. Just watch how they use their words. Trying reading in between the line but, do not read too much in to it either (gotta have a gift at balancing because here is where we will need it).
11. Some will toy with us in interviews asking us stupid questions that have nothing to do with the position which we are interviewing for. STOP that dead in its track. That is where we should ask respectfully, "I'm confused, could you please tell me what this has to do with the position I am applying for?"
12. Clothing matters. What are we wearing to that interview? As I said before on another post, wear a suit, "Everyone should at least have 1 (one) suit in their closet." If you do not own a Suit where your Sunday best. If you do not know what that means, by all means go to an older generation church one SUNDAY and figure it out. (Ha, maybe the Pastor will be preaching on job interviews that day).
13. Our Hairstyle matters a lot too. Please do not walk into an interview with half your head shave and expect to receive that job if that is not the type of environment.
14. Tattoos matter. If you are going to an office type environment where people do not have tattoos, better cover that stuff up.
15. Language/words matter. Do not use swear words in the interview even if the interviewer does it.
16. Respectability matters. Well, if the interviewer is a jerk. We do have that special power within us to get up and walk out of that interview.
17. Neat vehicle matters. Believe it. I recently went to an interview where two women from the firm was looking inside my vehicle. What they found was - 3 small counter tops in the back of my truck, 3 gallons of water and a gallon of oil (oil just in case I need it and the water was because my water pump is going out), my over night box, a suit, and my bag with my laptop in it and school books). Now I want you to understand thieves can override your combination on your combination lock on your vehicle by pushing one certain number repeatedly (my lovely 7 year old granddaughter showed me that. Now where did she learn that from?). Now, if she did that, I do not know. ALL I do know is it looked as if she was actually closing my back drivers side door on my truck. She walked towards the office when I caught her. Then she walked to her trunk of her car opened it, then opened her drivers door and then after she closed both she went into the office. May she get the blessings of experiencing that too.
18. Hygiene matters. There should be no excuse for going to an interview with bad hygiene. If you are without water, electricity, go to someone's home and use their shower before you go to your interview. Do not insult yourself or the interviewer. Make sure your fingers are clean and ladies, make sure the polish is neat and pretty.
19. Stay positive in the interview. Again, if the interviewer has a bad demeanor then walk away. Do not allow anyone to treat you disrespectfully but, be respectful in your walk. Please.
20. Do not tell an interviewer "this is my dream job" especially if it isn't.
21. HA! - Do NOT send the Department of Motor Vehicles a resume if you do not currently have insurance on your vehicle because be assured those people will look you up, then send you a letter for no insurance KNOWING you have NO employment (according to your resume) telling you that within 10 you will need to provide proof of insurance or they will fine you $350.00 (more or less depending on the state you live in). They do not care. They are assholes (there is no other word to describe them) too. I truly wish you all the best in your job search. Just please do NOT loose yourself in the search and do not conform to their ways and their will. Stay true to who YOU really are. You will thank yourself for it later.

I applied for this job. 16 hours later I received an e-mail from the company stating they reviewed my resume and want me to come in for an interview. Well, on to the 2nd Interview tomorrow. Wish me luck

Has anyone ever tried to renegotiate company benefits before signing a job offer. My plan is to stay on my wife’s health insurance plan with her company and opt out of my company's health and wellness plan in exchange for more paid time off. Which of the common employee benefits can I exchange for more paid time off?

Is it okay to ask about benefits on the first interview? I have two interviews set up next week and I want to ask questions around health care coverage/cost and paid time off but I fear these type of questions will raise red flags and cause me to loose interview points for choosing what employers might consider "sensitive" pre-employment topics of discussion. I know salary talk is out of the question but are company benefits questions also taboo?

So yesterday I had an interview and I was so nervous because it was my first one. I'm a shy girl so I was kinda stuttering lol. I didn't get the job. It sucked at first but there are many other ones. So if anyone has any tips for better performance at an interview that would surely be appreciated.
