So, I live in NY and I have an interview for a summer job soon. I have NEVER been on any kind of interview, and I am SOOO the nervous type. What should i be prepared for? What are the do's and dont's? All kinds of tips are appreciated! And if it helps, the job I'm applying to is for a summer camp daycare type thing for toddlers. Thanks in advance!

As they say you can't take back a first impression. This being said, I find it important to dress proper for an interview. This lets the interviewer know that you have taken the time to dress well and appear nice and fresh. Do your makeup with light shades and donn't overdo the mascara. If you have long hair, try styling it up and out of your face.
Next, since you are applying for a job in a summer camp working with toddlers, go on the internet and do research on this age group.Your interviewer is likely going to ask you questions about toddlers and it would be best for you to know some information on toddler behaviour. Your interviewer might very well ask you questions about how will you deal with the parents of these toddlers. Your answer should be that you will remain calm at all times, let the parent talk and reply in a positive and polite manner.
The other person that answered was right about looking the interviewer in the face while they speak with you and while you speak to them. This shows your interest in what they are saying.
Be open and honest about yourself. If you tell them you have taken the time to research toddler behaviour they will be impressed with you.
If I can help you with more tips, let me know and GOOD LUCK. Let me know if you get the job. You go girl!
