I'm going in for an open interview at Petco and I was wondering what you're supposed to wear. This is my first interview and I really don't know what to expect and what questions they'd ask.
Is it any different than any other kind of interview?
Should I stick with a black skirt and flats?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Interviewing is a learned skill. The more jobs you apply for and get interviewed for the better you will get at it. The first thing you need to do is to put a resume together. At your age your resume is going to be short on job experience and may be only a few part-time jobs or no part time jobs after school or during summer break.
There are a few good templates one MS Word to look at to use as a format for your resume. Pick one that best work for you.
As someone who has done the interviewing and interviewed for jobs myself I can tell you we each have our own way and list of questions to ask. I once applied for a retail job in an electrical supply store. I expected to be asked questions about my knowledge of the industry. Instead the owner was more interested in my military career and asked question on repaired the different airplanes I worked on. There was only one job opening and after the interview I never thought I would get the job. I did and that led to a career where I was later hired to be a manufactures representative to the wholesale electrical industry.
Moral of the story is be prepared for any question. I learned for this experience and later used it myself. Instead of the so called dreaded question, "tell me about yourself" I would look at a application and find something in the past I would ask them to tell me about and see if they could educate me on that subject somewhat for that is what selling is about. Educating people about product.
Put together a resume and use it in completing job applications. Then be prepared to answer questions about you're interest and hobbies or community service. As to the dreaded questions be honest as it is easier to remember an honest answer and we can tell honest from a canned answer. If you need to learn to be a more detailed person and are working to that end, say so and how you are doing it.
I hope I have helped you. Good luck on the interview. As for dressing for the interview. Wear what you would wear to a fancy restaurant but with less makeup and jewelry. A nice skirt and blouse or a nice dress with maybe a small necklace.
(Rating: 5) Thank you, that was very helpful.
