A. I would be honest. If you're not honest about your decision to interview out and they do have a relationship, your current professor will be honest. You'll look like your admitting fault by hiding the fact that you two don't get along.

What are some typical job interview questions in general and specifically for engineers?
Q. It's been more then 3 years since I've had an interview. I'll be having another one tomorow for this job in Califonia. I work for Boeing in Texas and looking to stay with Boeing in California. It'll be a phone interview to start with. If I do well, I might do a face to face interview. What are some typical questions that they ask? All I remember from my last interview was them asking me what was my greatest weakness and greatest strength.

A. They will ask what your future plans are with in the company, How you would handle a dispute between you and another employee, Why you want to make the move, and be careful here, if they think you may change your mind and return to Texas, it won't go well. If you have family there preferably older parents, or wife has a really good job offer, etc. They are big into ethics these days, the top salaries have affairs, lie, cheat and steal, and we have to take the ethics classes, study your literature from these classes. They may ask you about how you would avoid a situation that could be misconstrued as sexual harassment. What your position is on employee discipline. That's all I can think of for now.

What are some important job interview skills?

I've looked at production/post production houses. What are some basic and important job interview skills I should know before I go into an interview?

A. First and foremost: proper preparation prevents poor performance! Go over some interview questions out loud with yourself. Make sure to shake everyone's hands when you meet them and when you leave; thank them as well. Greet people by their names when they are introduced to you... Make sure you thoroughly understand the position you are applying for as well as the department it is in. Read up on the company at their website; be familiar with their work; you may even be able to see pics of their staff and maybe even the person/people you will be interviewing with. This is really helpful because their faces will be familiar to you when you meet them; calms the nerves a bit. You may want to bring some type of visual aid with you, something… [cont.]

How to sell your abilities in a job interview?
Q. I have been having a hard time selling my abilities to job interviewers. My problem is this, I am from a culture where "tooting your own horn" is frowned upon. Hence, I don't know what exactly how to sell myself or abilities.

A. Even if it's an industrial job, applicants should always dress up for interviews. He probably won't be wearing a dress shirt and khakis on the job, but he'll only score points for looking professional. Jeans and a T-shirt are too casual for a job interview, so go for a button-down, khakis and nice shoes (no sneakers or flip-flops).

A. Dressing up is never a bad thing. If you show up in a suit it shows your serious and professional. In your case at 15, if you dont feel like a professional quite yet try a nice button up and slacks. Its perfect for all occasions if you not quite sure what to wear. I suggest the office shirt line at Express. They're normally 40 a piece but totally worth it in terms of quality and fit.

A. You're going shopping anyway, right? Go to your local mall and go someplace like Sears or JC Penny's. They carry a wide selection of professional clothes that won't offend most anyone. Black is considered my some people as too severe and even depressing so avoid a lot of black. White and cream can make you look old in a bad way and are awful to keep clean. Go for suit pants and blazer in grays/dark blues/earth tones. Look for a material that is not too heavy and not scratchy as you're going to be a little nervous already and do not need your clothes to be bothering you. The pants should ride at or just below your belly button. Keep in mind that professional settings are not the place for low rise pants. Flat front pants look better… [cont.]

How can I do great on the job interview I have in less than 3 hours?
Q. I'm 15 and I have a job interview at a brand store in the mall beside my house, and I want the job so badly. Does anyone have any tips for me so I can do well at the interview? Also some common but tough interview questions could help alot. Thanks so much for any input :)

A. Make sure you dress appropriately, obviously for this type of job that doesn't mean a suit, but try to look as presentable as possible. Answer questions as honestly as you can and don't volunteer more information than they ask for. They will probably ask you why you want to work at that store, you'll want to compliment them on the product. For your age and the type of work your looking at they probably won't ask you any horribly hard hitting questions, but if you can tell them you are reliable and back it up with things like you always do your homework or you never miss school that will go a long way. Also be very positive don't ever say anything negative about any person or any other type of job you've done.

What to wear for a job interview for a customer service or sales rep/associate job?
Q. This is going to be my first job interview and I am not really sure what to wear. I am pretty sure this job will consist of me making phone calls for one reason or another. I'm only 17 so getting a suite is pretty much out of the question, what can I wear that looks kind of conservative but will be comfortable for my age?

A. Suits can get reallly expensive! I've never purchased one, instead I usually wear a nice button-up shirt, long-sleeved (you can purchase these at several stores - Express, Macy's, Nordstrom, JC Penney, etc) and the prices won't be horribly high. Then I usually wear black slacks, no jeans. Shoes - I wear heels but if you're male just stay away from tennis shoes. You'll look professional & classy but not over-done :) Good luck!

How do you make a really good impression in a job interview?
Q. I have a job interview with a school board for a caretaker position. It's a great job for me and I really want to get it. I know I have to go before a panel for the interview and I don't interview well. does any one have any tips, advise, etc. that would make them want to pick me. How do I shine over hundreds of others. Thanks for any suggestions and advise.

A. Be confident, but not overly confident to the point of being arrogant. Eye contact with the interviewers. This is important. Answer the questions completely. Ask questions that relate to the job if they were not answered when the interviewers detail the job. However, restate what you heard them say about the job. This may trigger questions in your mind. Tell the interviewers why you are best suited for the job. But, don't sound like a know-it-all. Smile during the interview, shake hands with a firm handshake at the beginning and the end of the interview. Sit straight in the chair... Dress professionally.

How should I wear my hair for my job interview tomorrow?
Q. I am black and I have medium (sits at my neck) length, relaxed, black hair. I'm interviewing for a receptionist position and want to look as professional as possible. I'm really nervous and don't want to bomb the interview since this job is mostly based on appearance. I've read articles and there are mixed opinions on what looks most polished. Up or down? Pony tail or curls?

A. I have blonde shoulder length hair that is naturally curly so for interviews I always wear it up, it always looks more professional. Make sure it's out of your face so you're not preoccupied with it. I either curl it and pull it back with bobby pins and into a soft bun or straighten it and do the same thing. Good luck!
