job interviews

Hi ellaprice, it's a long time since I needed to attend a job interview so maybe things have changed or you have a different way in America but I've never heard of the concept of writing a thank you note and wouldn't think it would make any difference at all except to give the impression of being a bit desperate. The situation always was that they would get back to you and you just have to sit it out and wait.

hi ellaprice76 I am retired but to me if you are really pushy 'all you do is irritate the interviewer.he will see you as over'anxious and not self confident. no be yourself and be' confident. know you can do the work and explain why you feel this is a good job for you. do follow up in a week of course.'one thing to do is look professional. no tight clothes beach attire and lazy time clothes.business looking clothing, and minimum make up. YOu are looking for a job, but not as a hooker.smile and be at ease.

not had many job interviews, i've not heard about doing a thank you note. they should be writing one to you instead. being pushy, doesn't get you far, interest in the job will do better. my interview for the job i've got now was turn up and learn how to do it. apart from the fact my boss had asked round wanting someone honest and reible. so here i am. then you don't want to get us all started on my partner, that's a case of not what to do. to get a job.

I would not recommend being pushy but sending a thank you note, and telling the person to whom you were interviewed by that you will call within a week or even asking when should you call would be better! Saying things such as "I feel confident that I will be good for your company" is also a good thing to say but only say that when they ask you... Some intereviewers will ask "what do you feel you can contribute?" or a variant of that question so then you can implement the statement I said earlier which is " I feel confident that I will be for your company" and then add "this is why" and explain some of your skills, etc as per your resume or job experience. Just be polite, Keep eye contact, and be and sound happy. SMILE! If your going for retail do not be shy, even if that's your way... remember, your not only going to be dealing with the boss but customers too! With the example of retail, I want to add that different lines of work require different ways of going about your interview. Though their are keypoints and guidelines that cover every interview, you've also got to keep into consideration that some employers do not like Suck ups.

employers often use thank you notes and entertainment to please the hearts of the people who do not get jobs with them after such interview, it is quite pathetic that the same people who just waste peoples time and may vene tell them they will call them back only to forget them after the interview

ella, Sometimes its good to be assert one self. But too much of it is bad. This is an example: Guess what? I found a new reliable company that will eventually earn you millions and TAKE NOTE you do it from your very cell phone! This example is true!!! If you are interested then add me as a friend and I will give you the link of it.

I don’t think being pushy or sending thank you notes are going to be any more beneficial for you than the actual interview. I have never been pushy and have always waited for that call and whenever the interview ended with ‘we’ll let you know’…I have always known it to end there. If you call innumerable times after that, all you’ll hear is that no decisions have been taken and you are simply wasting phone bill. Sending thank you notes are not that pushy and might just keep your name in view if you are not in the first selected list and the company is looking for second options.

ellaprice76...I can give you my thoughts on what I thinks will work. Maybe something will help you out. I was told once from an manger of a store that he never knows when someone is serious about wanting the job. There is so many people out of work and some don't really want to go back to work. He said that the ones that call him back do a check up is the ones that he knows that want a job. So therefore I believe that if you do a call back after an interview that it will show that you are indeed wanting that job. Good luck and have a nice day...

When it comes to be going to job interviews, I try to not be pushy, which is very hard when you are desperately looking for a job. I will, call a place and follow up a few days after I've put in my resume via the internet. And then after I've had an interview I will call and follow up a few days later. When I have the opportunity to have an interview, I do thank the interviewer for their time because I know that they deal with a lot of people and many of those people aren't gracious for the interviewer's time.
