No day can be happier for applicants than when they get a call for an exam or an interview. Many applicants do not know though that the first impressions that they give recruiters help determine if they pass the first few levels of screening.

Many interviewers and potential employers assign points for appearance, neatness and appropriateness [...]

Last week, we gave you a brief look at what you should expect when you get called for an exam. This time, we’ll take a look at what you should look forward to when you’re scheduled for an interview and what happens after that.

Interviews

You may therefore expect different sets of questions every time you are called for an interview in various companies.

Q&A

A: This is a question from one of our readers, Relena.
First of all, technically speaking, it is against the law for employers to discriminate against applicants or employees based on civil status, gender, etc. Most of the time though, no one complains, minds or makes an effort to enforce the law. Moreover, there is no [...]

A: Thank you Jen for this question.
If I am not mistaken, Art. 136 prohibits employers from making a woman’s civil status a condition of employment. Even if there was no law, the spirit of justice and fairness should give equal opportunity to all applicants regardless of race, color, religion, civil status and gender. In [...]

A: The idea for this question came from one of our readers, Neil.
Interviewers may ask about your expected salary because they may want to know if you will be contented with what the company can offer. If you have considerable working experience, they may also want to know if they can afford you.
Applicants who get [...]

A: This is a question from one of our readers, Carla.
These days, if you miss a job appointment and still wish to pursue your application, you will not lose anything if you choose to send an apology and ask for a reconsideration. Even if you no longer wish to apply, you would be showing good [...]

This is a question from Lynne who is one of our readers.
I take it that applying to “get experience” means there is an intention to eventually leave when better opportunities become available. There is an ideal scenario to this. Ideally, a potential employer will appreciate honesty in an applicant. Ideally, an applicant will have the [...]

A: This is another question from one of the readers which I have decided to post here for everyone’s benefit.
Based on the question, I will assume that the experienced-based exams referred to are those that involve tests with questions on specific fields. An applicant for example applying for an electrician position will have to answer [...]

A: This is a question from Rhodney, another one of our readers. The question was originally posted on a job hunting tip article. Although an answer was already sent to Rhodney, some readers might also want to know the answer to this question.

Call centers are just like other companies when it comes to [...]

A: This was a question originally posted on the chat box at the side bar by a reader named Gian. I believe though that this is a very common question and therefore deserves a clearer response.

First of all, it is crucial to understand that many companies, especially small ones do not send out [...]

A: Experience gaps happen when you resign immediately from a job with no ready and immediate job to transfer to. In principle, every applicant, including those with experience gaps are entitled to equal consideration for positions that they are qualified for. Then again, employers have the right not to consider you for employment when they [...]

Ring, Ring…
“Hello? Is this the Museo ng Maynila?” I asked nervously.
“‘Tis. How may I help you?” the lady asked.
“This is Webster and I’m just inquiring if the position of a museum researcher is still available?”
“‘Tis!”
“I wanted to apply, ma’am,” I said shyly.
“Sure you can come here anytime from Mondays through Fridays from 8 am to [...]

I am a professional applicant. Meron bang ganon?

I’ve applied for so many jobs that I’ve stopped having nosebleeds every time I take pre-employment tests. I’ve been to so many interviews that I’ve stopped stalling like a Miss Universe candidate with a fake smile looking for the answer that will give me the crown and [...]

“I hate Manila and I will never go there to work!” That used to be my constant mantra. Like every other die hard island probinsyano, I had dreams of living and dying in my beloved island with declarations of regionalist loyalty escaping through my last breath.

Perhaps I had made that hasty vow because I truly [...]
