I'm not here to tell you what to think or do, but to give you as much honest, accurate information as possible. If I don't know an answer to a specific question, I'll research it before replying. I won't sugarcoat things; my job is to tell it like it is.

I've got a particular interest in sexual health and sexuality. I know a lot about fertility and pregnancy - and firsthand now, as I've just had twins. I'm also an accredited sexual health worker.

Before you go to the interview, make sure you've picked out an appropriate outfit. Even though the job yo're going for doesn't require being dressed up, the interview process DOES require it. This doesn't mean a suit, but it DOES mean nice trousers and a nice shirt.

You'll also want to consider the answers to some general questions: What are your strengths? Weaknesses? Why do you want to work for this place? What experience do you have? What is your availability?

You may also want to think of a question or two to ask the employer, to show you are interested.

During the interview, make eye contact, smile, answer the questions honestly. It's okay if you have never worked before - employers want employees who are dependable, motivated, and able to get the job done.

Most importantly, remember to breathe! It will not be as scary as you may anticipate. You could even ask your grandfather to coach you if he has any insider knowledge about his friend or the restaurant.

Best of luck; I'm sure you'll do fine!
