[Closed] job interview questions

I think if you care that little about it, then you will probably get spotted as not caring by any decent interviewer.
Obviously if the job is that crap then they might not care, but still.

Look at the job description, and try to work out what you might get out of it, beyond the money.
Unfortunately beyond that good luck. And I am seriously glad I know exactly who I am interviewing tomorrow, otherwise I might be wondering if the interviewee had posted on STW last night, and exactly what they thought of the job.

Why is it a crap job? Low skilled?

Low pay but more than job seakers 70 quid
Job might not be crap but not the same leauge of job i was made redundant from
But bad wrist and back injury prevents ne from doing my trade

But might end up getting chrome plating and anodising for cost price

By applying for the alledged crap job, that probably someone is doing, you have deprived someone who may have actualy suited that job an interview,just perhaps youve set your job sights to high.

Other jobs are available.

Go about the interview like your being interviewed for your dream job otherwise your vibe will show in body language / attitude.
Otherwise you ain't even gonna get a shit job and that will piss you off

Enought of slagging aledged crap job any interview tips

I was going to say dont! - but seeing as everyone else has gone there, how about-
What are your strengths/weaknesses?
What can you bring to the job that others don't/cant?
Why would you like to work for us?
Tell me about a time when you coached and supported a colleague?
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Can you work unsociable hours at short notice?
Explain why your job history has gaps? (or not) - if not highlight key skills
When dealing with a client how would you achieve a positive resolution?

Oh aye, dress appropriately. The amount of people I have interviewed who put NO effort into making an effort really p*****s me off.
Firm handshake, smile, listen to the questions and keep your answers short (not too short). Dont waffle if you have no clue/experience, say you dont know. Sit on your hands if you are a shuffler as well.
AND please turn you phone off, and do NOT answer it half way through an interview - apologise and turn it off, dont ignore it. At least stopping the interview cos you have screwed up shows balls at least.

AND - good luck mate, you never know what doors it might actually open if you show interest/aptitude. Not all crap jobs are crap.

Prepare for the lazy interviewer's
"So tell me about yourself".

Willing to start again in a new field.
Injury prevents me doing what I did, feel it's a good time for a new start - so long as the injury will not impact on the new job
Usual hard working and committed stuff

Before you start the process you need to do one incredibly difficult and complex task - convince yourself you want the job and that you will stick at it for a couple of years. It's not a stop gap, it's not because you are skint, it's not just because there is nothing else.

Unless you believe it they wont either.

Tell them a mother-in-law joke to break the ice, then high-five them.

Here in Eire i went for a supervisor role in a bakery,although my trades are butchery and support work.
Didn't get that job but was told we'll keep you on file ,you think standard reply that will be the last i hear from them.
Role on 5 months and get an email one sat night,quite late ,we have a vacancy in production at basic wage ,are you interested?
So i did days trial ,fine ,started a 5 day week for 2 mnths,had a chance of support work ,so talked to bakery and went to 3 day week there n rest of days as relief for support work .
Role on now to january and tell bakery i will be leaveing end of month and end up being offered supervisor role that i applied for originaly and able to name my price to a sensible leval with review in 3 months to next increment.

So shows a shop floor job can improve.!!!!!1

Interviewer: Mr. Murphy, what exactly attracts you to the leisure industry?

Spud: In a word, pleasure.
Like, my pleasure in other people's leisure.

Interviewer: Do you see yourself as having any weaknesses?

Spud: Oh, yes, 'cause, like, I'm a bit
of a perfectionist, actually!
Yes, I am. See, for me, it's got to be
the best, or it's nothing at all.
Like things get a bit dodgy,
I just cannot be bothered.

But, hey, I'm getting good vibes about
this interview thing today, though, man.
Seems to me like it's going pretty well, eh?

Interviewer: Thank you, Mr. Murphy. We'll let you know.

Spud: The pleasure was mine, man.
