We gathered some of your most common job interview questions and put them in one easy place for you!
When should I arrive to my interview?
Get there 10 minutes early. Anything more than that is awkward and anything later runs you the risk of being late.
What should I wear?
Look as professional as possible. Don’t wear jeans or flip-flops. We’re going to go into more detail on this topic in another video. in the meantime, check out some samples on our Pinterest page!
Definitely bring a few copies of your resume. They may have a copy already, but you want to be prepared in case they don’t. Also, bring copies of your references, a pen and notepad and, if you have them, examples of your any previous work you've done that you want to show off.
How should I prepare?
Research the company. Look into what they sell, what they're passionate about and come prepared to answer questions about their products.
I've said it a thousand times, but I have to say it again. One of the best things you can do to prepare is to practice. Research common job interview questions and how to answer them. Grab a friend or family member and have them ask you the questions so you have an idea of what an interview feels like and are ready to really impress them with your answers.
This is scary, but remember - employers are people too and realize that some things come up. Only reschedule if you are very sick or have a family emergency.
Do not reschedule if you have a lame reason like your cat looking depressed or you’re really, really tired. These are all examples we’ve heard before.

What should I say when I have no experience in the question they’re asking during an interview?
Hi Jessica! Great question. Take any volunteer experience you have as well as any odd jobs like babysitting or lawn care and weave these experiences into your answers.
I read and job interview tips, anything that I can find, give more knowledge on what to say and look
out for in an interview, but you still don’t know how this interview is going to go, you have just but yourself in their sit, what kind of person would I want to do this job for me. So I put myself there,
knowing what I’m going to say, watching their eyes and body language, and I’m nervous as hell.
I like your tips.
Good Info.already Knew Most of it, but the Practice part woke me up! Thanx!
Age and Education
I have a long work history that is with no more than two companies. I have tons of skills in both office and distribution. I am also 53, and although I have achieved certifications in General Business, Supervision, Education and Design, I can not find a job. I am so frustrated and sad. I have worked all my life and this not working now is killing my spirit. I don’t know what to do.
