Jobcase Basics
How would you apply for a TSA position at the airport?
yes
How would you respond if an interviewer asked you a question you completely blanked on and couldn't think of an answer?
I would have to say to them I am sorry I have no answer for you this moment however, I will think about it and get back to you with an answer.
That’s a great question—let me take a moment to think about it.
Have you ever turned down a better-paying job because of something else that mattered more?
yes, distance.
Yes cause if was located 2-miles from my home and the job seemed like it was a good idea.......... It WASNT !
Interview practice: did you ever have to take responsibility for something, even outside of a job setting?
Yes I have
Yes
Is there any major change in your industry in the past 3 years?

Interview practice for a role you didn't have experience before: You don't have any formal work experience — why should we hire you over someone who does?
Do inventory, help make the orders, make sure we are well supplied,
I need a job I'am a hard worker,very wise I'am not a emotional person I respect rules !
What do you wish someone had told you before you started your very first job?
What exactly is the job qualification
How to prepare myself for an interview. That, I found out on my own.
Interview practice: Describe a time you felt undervalued at work but chose to stay and keep performing at your best. What kept you there?
Stupidity. I realize now that hierarchy values certain positions, gender and race on its own scale, not by experience, performance or dedication. It's a fallacy. Knowing my own worth is on me to find where I can best utilize what I have to offer and be properly compensated. If they won't raise their own bar, it's their loss. There is no I in Team! Their lack of acknowledgement only makes me feel bad about myself and tells me they are not deserving of me. In the meantime because i dont know any other way, they will always get my best, especially the customers!!
hope, but never got it so I left
Have you ever had to explain a gap or a hard chapter in your life during a job interview? What did you say?
I just lay it out on the line and let them know they won’t be disapointed
Yes I have. What can I say or do.
I have applied passed all the requirements and still was never offered job
