Can you start today?
This is also a tricky question. Usually, an interviewer asks this to employed job seekers. Depending on your answer, they will understand how responsible you are at your job, and how loyal you are to your current company and your team.
If a job seeker is ready to start a new job even today, they will hardly prove to be a reliable person. Besides, there is a possibility that the job seeker is desperate about money. If so, the employer may use this fact and assign a lower salary to you than you could have gotten.
what a load of cr#p.
Support YES ,won’t contribute "sure will be there TILL DEATH". 1job 1sock 1idea
Totally agree. companies want loyalty from the employees but don't reciprocate. As an instructor told us at TAP class (transitioning from military to civilian life), "If the company could accomplish the job without hiring you they would."
Transition Assistance Program. That was a joke when I went through.
They didn't have that when I mustered out.
Companies should maybe focus more on thinking of their prospective workers as actual people and offer a motivating workplace instead of trying to find the ones they can treat like cr#p without them ever raising a finger to change anything.
Like what exactly do you seek? A honest employee or one that will bend the truth to get the job?
I've read this stuff too for my application but just to be prepared for the expected questions. (not the engineered responses)
There's nothing worse than showing up unprepared and not showing interest and motivation for the company.
after that I stopped reading. what a BS.
and hear me out, maybe, just maybe, stop asking stupid questions.....
people are there because they need money for food and roof above their heads...
