Interview Questions

Hey there, I want to get professional for a few minutes. As we all know we are in a "recession"...I quote it because the government is being stingy with the money. They burn money EVERYDAY and try to call it a "recession". I called it stingy, money hungry. But any whoo back to my point. We all need jobs and careers. I wanted to share some tips with you guys from my professional development class and from my own personal knowledge. For those of you that think it is bad to ask questions on a interview........WRONG!! The interviewers actually like questions. It allows them to think you are intrested, and eager for the job and that you are not nervous. The trick is WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD I ASK????

5 DUMB INTERVIEW QUESTION TO ASK
1. What does your company do?
You should be doing the research yourself. They might be asking you questions like "what do you like about this company" just to see if you did a little bit of research.
2. Will I be eligible for a raise?
Depending on if you do your job correctly, lateness, absence and your determanation. It is all up to you weather u can be eligible for a raise. Just because you work for a company does not mean you are entilted to a raise.
3. What other jobs do you have available?
That shows the interviewer you are not very intrested in the position you applied for. Alothugh it may not seem that way. It says "soon as another position is open, im on the first train". So keep the question about the position you applied for.
4. Are you going to do a background check?
YES THEY WILL!!!! DO NOT ASK THIS QUESTION!!!!!! It sets off a red flag soon as these words leave your lips.
5. Do you do a drug test?
THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ASKING THIS QUESTION!!! They will let you know and if you think they will do a drug test maybe you should'nt have applied.

Dress Tips (we should all know, but there are some people who dont)
  1. No jeans, t-shirts, sneakers,
  2. No loud colors, no open toe shoes, basic pump (3-4 inches)
  3. No big earrings, no braclets (nothin that will draw attention)
  4. No colored hair (purple, blue, yellow, etc) No Mohawks!!!
  5. No scary make up ( light eye shadow, light eye liner will do) DONT OVER DO IT!!!!!

I wanted to share some pointers with you guys. We all need to build a better future for ourself and for our children. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone
