What are signs a job interview went well?
I went on a interview.On my way in the receptionist greeted me warmly and told me not to be nervous that the interviewer ( VP of the dept.) was harmless. The interview began well with some light general conversation about my week. They asked many questions but none of them seemed to be doubting of my experience. They verbally acknowledged alot of my answers as " making alot of sense" and "excellent". They asked me when i could start at the end but we didn't talk about the salary and benefits (salary was however left on my voicemail prior to the interview.) At the end, I made the move to shake everyone's hands (something they seemed to forget in our general conversation on the way out) and the VP walked me out and told me that there were just two more interviews. She handed me her card and told me if I had any questions, to email or call and they should decide by wednesday afternoon. Was this a good interview? If so, why?
Interview at McDonald's didn't go well?
So I had an interview at McDonald's today, and I messed up and got nervous when she asked me to "tell me about yourself." I asked her what exactly she meant which was like the stupidest thing I could have said. The rest of the interview went ok, but I think that one question sealed the deal. She said she has 8 more interviews and she will be doing callbacks on Friday. This means I have no chance, right? If I was going to be hired, wouldn't I have just been hired on the spot?
What are some signs that a job interview went well?
After my previous job interviews, I have been told "Give us a few days to decide" and "I don't think I'm quite ready to give you a job just yet". Are they encouraging or negative signs?. So far I have had a call from any of these employers.
How do you know if a phone interview went well?
3rd interviews are usually not Phone interviews. If it was a Phone interview then you can kind of tell my the tone of the interviewer and the phrases they use. For instance if they say something like "Okay, we will review this information further and contact you soon about the details"...THAT is a good sign. Anytime they say anything about talking about "details" is good. But also, you can usually pay attention to that still-small-voice in us that tells us if it went good or bad. If it was in fact a third interview and you discussed money details, then you are a top candidate along with maybe one or two other people. At that point, the company is looking at their budget to see if they want to pay the candidate what they say their worth.
I think I went to an interview on the wrong day!?
Don't say anything (..at least not until after you get the job...lol) As long as you had the interview...and it went well...they didn't bring it up...why bother. They may think you're a bit scatterbrained if you contact them again and try to explain...especially if they were unaware of the mix up or if you were really there on the correct day. The follow-up thank you card is proper...and recommended in most interview guidelines...good touch. Good luck with it...and if you don't hear anything from them soon...don't be afraid to call (don't email) and inquire as to whether a decision had been made yet or what the timing may be.
Went for an interview to mcdonalds but didn't get hired!!?
aww betty heres a hug kido. Don't say things like that about yourself hun your not stupid or useless. Hey it happens to all people even the seasoned ones when going for interviews its nerve racking. and we dont' always get the jobs we want and man is it dissapointing. but you have to keep trying it won't always be like this. take these two interviews you just had yeah you didn't get a call back but you already learned somethings from them and the more of them you go on the easier it will get you'll get use to the questions and you'll get use to meeting strangers asking things about yourself. its always scary at first anything new someone does like your first kiss or the first time you rode a bike bet you said you couldn't ride a bike yet you did. things will change you'll see. this is good expereince for you. and hey better to fail at mcdonalds than some better place you'll be working for one day. better to make mistakes now and learn before you come into a job you love right. in the mean time why not practice at home with things you are finding hard at the interview make a list of questions that you have heard the interviewer ask you at both these jobs and go over them read them allowed to yourself or your sibling practice in front of a mirror what ever it takes. you see the more you play it out over and over again the less problem it will be for you. and you will feel more comfortable when you go for another interview. and then you may miss some other points and thats okay your taking all this in as you said this is going to be your first job you can't always land them right away. but you can learn for the next time right so jot down anything you can remember and keep going from there adding things to your list. and you'll see in no time flat you'll be flying through the interviews as they won't feel so foreign to you . In the mean time if your still stuck for work. try a few agency's in toronto . they will help pass the time till you can get something you really want on your own. I know you'll do fine in the future just takes time remember that rome wasn't built in a day you'll get there kido hang in .
Have you ever had a job interview that you thought went well but didn't get the job? Did you ever find out why?
I’ve had a job interview that I thought went well, and I didn’t hear back from them for two weeks.So I contacted them several times over a period of about three weeks.It turns out their hiring process was just. That. Slow.I was hired. At Apple.As a rule, I’m typically approached , rather than doing the approaching.Usually, it’s for a lunch, or a site visit, or something similar, so we can get the feel of each other, and decide whether an interview process would be appropriate.For example, I was contacted by a friend I had worked with previously, who was now at an electric car startup, and during the course of lunch, indicated that I had an issue with working in Open Plan offices, since I process software in the same part of my brain that I process music.That meant I couldn’t do what other engineers did in a similar situation, and “just wear headphones”. He indicated that they had an open plan office, but were building additional offices.We had a nice lunch, and it didn’t move into even the offer for an interview (or the request for one). We keep in contact — he is, after all, a friend.I may tell them “That’s really outside the range of my expertise; I can maybe recommend someone else for you”. I’ll make the offer of a recommendation only if the company impresses me enough to throw one of my friends under the “you may be hired away from your current employer” bus. I discuss with the friend(s) before I give any referral(s).I may turn down the request; if I don’t know you, please don’t send an email saying “We’d like you to come in for an interview!!!”. I don’t care how enthusiastically you add exclamation points: there are about ten people for whom contacting me that way would work, and you are likely not one of them.But in general, no.If it gets to the point of an interview, at the end of the interview, either I know that it’s not going to work out, and that’s usually mutual, or I end up getting an offer.
