how to respond to questions asked at your interview

Any questions specifically? To practice before an interview, I like to just look up a basic list of questions and practice through those. Also, try to have some experiences ready to bring up for questions.

Is there a specific question you're not sure how to answer? Or just in general? Don't be afraid to pause if you need to think about your answer. My advice is to practice common interview questions with chat GPT. It's really good for helping you refine your answers.

A good bit of advice is obvious, just be confident and keep your answers fairly short. It's when we ramble on that we tend to get into trouble. And whenever possible, try to use some numbers to back something up. If you're an efficient worker, for instance, give some examples of how efficient you've been during a shift.

For me, just show confidence and a good work ethic. Doesn't matter what you say, but how you say it!

I think it’s about how you carry yourself - presentable, professional, cheerful… let your personality shine!

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
