I recently went on an interview at a beauty salon for a Receptionist position. It ended up going very well,so much so,that the owner wants me to come back this Thursday for a 2nd interview.This time she wants me to ask more questions about the job. I need help figuring out what questions to ask.
What are your suggestions and question I should ask about this job? Please help,this interview is 10 AM tomorrow. If they like me,would I get a third interview? How many questions am I allowed to ask?

I would ask the interviewer what she is looking for in the ideal candidate for this job. Then I would respond to that by mentioning qualities and abilities that you have that would fulfill the requirements stated. I would ask what the job description is for the position; what are all of the duties involved. Again, I would respond that you are very interested in doing what the job requires and that you have the ability to perform those duties professionally. Show enthusiasm. You can ask what the hours are, if there are any benefits, if there is an employee handbook to read. You can ask, what qualities in a candidate for this job do you think would stand out for you. You can ask if there is a certain dress code that they require for the receptionist position.

I have an interview tomorrow at a nursing home. What are some questions you think they’ll ask me? I’ve never been on a job interview before, and I’m nervous.

take a deep breath, let it out slowly, relax do the best you can. No bull shit answers.

Why do you want to work here?
Why did you choose nursing?
Why did you choose a nursing home, rather than a hospital?

Some companies try to convince you that you don’t want the job. If you want it, stick to it.

Work-life balance is a tricky thing to opine upon. In the abstract, it’s kind of meaningless. It’s not like you can say, “1.5 hours of work is the equivalent of 2.2 hours of conscious life (removing sleep from the equation), and I’m at work for 9.5 hours a day on average, and my commute is about 1.25 hours per day each way, and it takes me about 0.45 hours to de-brief my spouse on the work day when I get home, and I’m usually awake for 17.5 hours a day, so that means I must stay awake an extra 0.94 hours each day in order to get my work and life in balance.”

Phew. Not that simple.

But you can make the concept of having an appropriate work/life balance a lot easier to get your hands around by asking yourself three simple questions:

1. What’s important to me in my life? A certain level of physical fitness is more important to some people than others, for example. A need for quality child care, or flexible works hours, may be crucial for working parents. We walk around with ideas about what’s important to us in our heads, but until we stop to put them down on paper, and get clear on our life priorities, assessing the current state of your work-life balance is difficult.

2. Does my current position meet my needs? It might - you may not have explored enough to know for sure. (Seriously. When’s the last time you really read through your company’s Employee Handbook? Like, never?) To go along with examples cited above, does your company (or its health plan) offer a gym membership benefit? Can you telecommute, get on-site child care, work 4/40 or 9/80 schedules, or start and end your days earlier?

3. What’s it worth to you? If your job can’t meet the needs you say are important, you need to ask yourself the hard questions, all of which boil down to the “What’s it worth?” idea. It’s a gut check - “Do I really need it? Do I need it so much that I’m willing to start a job search to find a company that can meet the need?”

Unfortunately, this isn’t easy for everyone, and people get tied up by the expectations the important people in their lives - whether those expectations are stated outright or just assumed.

But this is what it boils down to - get clear on what matters, and everything about your work situation comes into focus. And by default, everything about your life situation comes into focus, too.

And that’s “balance” for you.

I want to apply for a summer job at a summer camp but i have no idea how to answer these questions.. Help?

1.Do you have any specific skills, interests, or talents that you feel would be an asset to the Summer Camp?
2. Tell us why you would like to be a camp leader

Thanks!

Uck, these are always the worst questions for me because I have the answer in my mind but I can’t not word it like an idiot.

1. Basically tell them whether you’re good with kids, what sort of activities that are camp related catch your interest and whether or not you have experience with kids and perhaps first aid.

2. And tell them why you’re applying.

I am finishing up school, and am looking for an internship. There will be a dental job fair on Thursday that I am going to go to, and I need to be prepared for an interview. What are some questions they might ask me?

One question that I always ask is, "Why should I hire you over the other applicants?" I don’t want to hear that you were a good student, you are hard working, you never miss work, etc. That is what everyone says. So if you say that, you are no better than anyone else. You need to tell them what you will bring to their practice to increase productivity and revenue. I can’t tell you what to say exactly. This is when you have to THINK. Good luck.

On stores like Autozone, Pepboys, etc.. auto repair shops.

Are they all the same for every job? Ive never had a job interview before and id want to know what
kind of questions they ask for most of the jobs out there whether its fastfood, desk job or mechanical repair type jobs.

Most of the questions will be about prior experience that is relevant to the job. If you are young and haven’t worked in that industry before (auto repair, fast-food, etc.), you can give relevant experience from your personal life (helped you Dad fix the family car, help Mom make dinner, etc.).

Any prior work experience is good, if it shows that you can get to work on time, follow instructions, and have a positive, get-it-done attitude.

Also expect some general questions about your own life and work habits: are you good at organizing? Solving problems on your own? Getting things done on time?

Also, they may want to know your plans for the future. Will you being going back to school? Starting a family? Taking a 6-month trip to Peru? They will want to know that their investment in your training will pay off.
