I have a job interview for a "front desk" of a Hotel, Rest/mgmt. which I would be great at---any tips?
I don't interview a LOT and am a little old school and get nervous some--usually when I get there I do well- but honestly- any help would be greatly appreciated! I have been in the same bldg about 21 years! I am not 40 yet.
Embassy Suites Hotel: Interview Outfit?
http://postimg.org/image/ih7glsx0l/ I have an interview tomorrow for a server position at the embassy suites hotel. Is that too unprofessional/informal? I do have dress pants but they're a little small and I can't seem to find a good shirt to go with them.
My first interview help?
The old rule is that you dress for the interview the way you would dress for the job. For a supermarket you want to look clean and neat--that means trimmed nails, brushed hair, shave (if you're a guy), etc. Don't dress up fancy, just clean. You can't prepare for an interview for your first job. I don't think they'll ask you if it's your first interview, but of course they will know it's your first job. And that's okay, you have to start somewhere. I used to do temp work so I've been through dozens of job interviews, in fact I've come to enjoy them and look forward to them. Because usually, going into the interview, I knew I was really just the guy they wanted. But that was about experience. You don't have experience to point to, but that's understood on both sides, so experience isn't necessary. So instead they are looking for a good worker. Someone cheerful and receptive, someone who isn't afraid of working hard, including learning how they do things in this supermarket. So that's the attitude you take. You are happy to be there. You are happy to be interviewed. Smile a lot. Say please and thank you and generally be polite. Look in someone's eyes when he talks to you or vice versa to show that you are giving him/her all your attention and you aren't trying to hide something. Just be yourself, but the relaxed,cheerful, attentive you, confident that you are just the person they need, 'cos you'll work your butt off. After the interview, you thank him/her for his/her time. Good luck!
Is it nessecary to shave while going for an interview?
Well, I am personally not very fond of bearded guys.Stubble is okay and so is neatly trimmed beard. Your beard seems to be too thick for an interview. Being smartly dressed always helps in an interview. Not that people always judge you by your looks, but it helps create a nice impression. There are however some jobs that require one to be presentable and impeccably dressed always... like a receptionist's job, a sales person job, a job for someone in marketing, etc.... But then there are jobs where it is okay to be oddly dressed at times... You might want to be attired based on the kind of interview you are appearing for. If I were to suggest you, here is what I think. Crisp and neatly ironed formal shirt, neatly ironed trousers matching with your shirt, polished and neat shoes to go with your trousers; wear a nice perfume - not too strong though, the idea is not to draw attention with it :PIf you are attending the interview for a higher position up the ladder or something where you might require interacting with a lot of people, you should suit up.Wait, what was the question again... Oh! The beard... Methinks you've got to get rid of it...
Getting into Cornell-School of Hotel Administration Interview?
Are you preparing for next year? Just so you know, you have until February 2009 to get your interview completed if you're applying for Fall 2009. Anyway, I was admitted for 2008. The interview is actually really informal. I basically just talked to the alum that was interviewing me about everything, really everything. He asked a lot of questions about the hotel industry so I suggest you either read up on it or get some experience in operations. The person interviewing you will be able to smell the BS spewing from your mouth if you have no idea how a hotel works and try to explain it. I work at a hotel and did an internship at a property as well. The resume really helps. It leads a lot of the questions that the person interviewing you will ask. They usually ask about your activities and what you like about them, what you do, etc. If you'd like, I'll email you my resume so you can have a sample. Make sure you dress appropriately (I wore dress pants and a coat). Also, be on time! I came really early because I was afraid of being late. Be sure to plan ahead. Be professional. Shake hands and all that crap. They have a set of questions that they use as a guide from Cornell to ask students. Go in there and give it your best shot. I tried to make my interview as memorable and personal as possible. Show them who you really are. And when they ask you if you have any questions: ask them. It shows that you're engaged in the interview, not just a monkey there answering questions. My interview turned out to be an hour and twenty minutes because we ended up just talking about what he thought of and did at Cornell and the kinds of things that he does now. Your GPA is pretty bomb. I had a 3.2 unweighted. But you have to consider that my school is usually ranked in the top 50 (top 25 if its a good year) in the newsweek top high school article every year. I'll be graduating with 12 AP classes and 8 other honors level courses. I'm not familar with the ACT grading scale, but I got a 2110 on the SAT. I did a lot of extracurriculars too, so if you want to see that, message me, and I could send you an identity protected version of my resume. Good luck! Maybe I'll see you in a few years.
Ethics case, attention accountants and other professionals:)?
ethics case: After numerous campus interviews, Steve Baden, a senior at Great Northern College, received two office interview invitations from the Baltimore offices of two large firms. Both firms offered to cover his out-of-pocket expenses (travel, hotel, and meals). He scheduled the interviews for both firms on the same day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. At the conclusion of each interview, he submitted to both firms his total out-of-pocket expenses for the trip to Baltimore: mileage $ 112 (280 miles at $0.40). Hotel $130, meals $36, parking and tolls $18, for a total of $296. He is also certain that neither firm knew he had visited the other on the same trip. Within ten days Steve received two checks in the mail, each amounted to $ 296. Instructions: (a) What are the ethical issues in this case? thank you very much:D
How should I do my long hair for a job interview?
if I were you, I would do an up-and-down held in place with a nice clip. If you don't know how to do this (I bet you do, but just in case): ~Put thumbs behind ears and gather all hair by moving thumbs straight back ~Brush hair NOT gathered (under that section) and the upper section that you gathered seperatly ~Hold upper section in place with hair elastic ~Put decorative clip over hair elastic DONE! OR put hair in relaxed (but still tightish) bun at crown of head or at base of neck OR just curl it and leave it down Hope this helped, and good luck with your interview!
