You're the boss

  2. In this given situation, when it comes to hiring employees, they would need to be properly dressed, be well groomed, a lack of tattoos and piercings, have a good education and be willing to work whenever assigned. 3 things they could do that would be less than satisfactory are show up late for the interview, seem like they'd rather be somewhere else, or have a large vocabulary of cuss words.

  3. Five things that I would look for in an employee are punctuality, appearance, personality, ability to improvise, and communication. Three things create a poor first impression are not taking things seriously, showing up late, and not paying attention to what's going on.

  4. To create a poor first impression for me while interviewing would be to pick their nose while talking to me, and then trying to shake my hand, and be rude to me. I don't like rude people. The top 5 things I would look for in an employee would be a nice attitude, being polite, being social, loving and treating people like I do, and likes having a fun time. Fun is needed to be able to work for me!

  6. If I were looking to hire somebody, I'd look for these five qualities (in no particular order):
    1. A professional look. (Nice clothes, neat hair, good posture. good hygiene)
    2. Enthusiasm for the job
    3. Prior Experience
    4. Determination
    5. A positive attitude

    Three things that would make a bad first impression include but are not limited to:
    1. Unfriendliness
    2. Poor hygiene
    3. Acting like a snob

  8. 1.) How they present themselves.
    2.) How their attitude is when approached.
    3.) What their response would be under pressure.
    4.) That they will cooperate fully when asked to do something.
    5.) Willing to do what is needed when working for me, and not going to actually try to pull anything stupid on me, such as steal, and/or do attempt to do anything behind my back.

    When interviewing I would really see how they want to come up to me, how they present themselves as if they are strong or just extremely shy, upfront and out going is must. Also, if someone truly came in and gave me some really pathetic application and they seemed to just have the mood of "whatever man", well then you can "whatever man" your way out the door. I find that as a employer then it is needed that a person has the ability to express themselves in a well-mannered fashion, not in a rude or unfriendly way.

  9. The top 5 things I wood look for is first how they dress, if it was professional or sloppy; second, I would look for the manner in which they talk to me whether they have confidence or do not care; third, I would look for their attitude toward others as they enter and leave to see if they will try to cooperate with the other employees and public well; fourth, I would see if they are well groomed for a professional job, and fifth, I would look for the qualifications of the certain job they are applying for. Three things that would create a poor first impression is poor grammar and professional dress, poor attitude, and immediate dislike of coworkers.

  13. i would want an employee to dress nicely, speak clearly, have good hygiene, the person should have a good attitude, and work experience. if the person swears, is unmotivated, and incompetent they will not get the job.

  14. I would look at their attitude, the way they dress, their willingness to do more than what's asked of them, their interest in the job, and their cleanliness. They could have a bad attitude, be poorly dressed and be a big jerk.
