This isn't really about a relationship BUT.....
...I have my very *first* job interview coming up! And since it's my first one, I am very nervous. :) I want the job mostly because I need to raise some money- but I know that's not the answer that the manager will want to hear. Any suggestions about what to do for the interview, other than dressing up? ;)
Much Love!

First of all, Don't wear black, it's too powerful and the interviewer is the one who should be in control. just relax. i've been to enough interviews to know that confidence is key. like dogs sense fear, people sense lack of confidence. don't be nervous because if this one doesn't work out there are many other jobs out there. if they ask you why you want this job, tell them that it will be your first job and you want to start earning your own money and you are ready to start taking on some responsibility. Sell yourself. If it's a job where you will have to serve people, say that you are a people person and that you couldn't see yourself not working with the public. Let them know you are very excited to start working. Put on a happy but mature face. You'll do fine.
good luck!

Scout ahead beforehand... you'll find out how long it takes to get there, see how busy the place looks and how the staff dresses (you'll want to be just a bit snazzier than them for your interview -- don't overdo it).
Think about other reasons you are taking the job, or why you're applying there rather than another job -- you need a job, but you chose this one in particular because you like ________. The answer in that blank will be a handy one to think of. And experience/proving yourself/preparing for the future are all good reasons to work... you might want to mention what you're saving money for -- college, a trip, furnishing an apartment, etc -- it's more interesting than just needing cash.

Well, My teacher told me to just be hoest and say something like "I need the money and I really injoy being here" somin like that.

Say you want the job for experience and education, that's better than saying you're just poor. You might also mention any good things you've heard about the company. Ask the interviewer lots of questions about the job and what you'll be doing and who you'll be working with and how much repetition there is (studies show that when we listen to people talk about themselves, they like us better). Speak loudly and clearly and be confident.

Turc,
Every employer knows your there for the money so you don't need to worry about saying that. Just tell them things like I want good training experience, list a few qualities that are true about yourself that apply to the job your applying for, say im also here to help make money for the company, easy to get a long with stuff like that. But don't forget to say you are a constant customer where your applying because they like to hire people that have been there before. be creative!!!!!!

Tell him that you would enjoy more responsabilitys and getting a job is something a teenager needs to save for a car or college.

One thing that helps is getting to know everything about where you want to work. If the interviwer asks why do you want to work there, you have to know, right? And you must have a good reason: why do you suit this job? What are your good points? How can you to help your co-workers to do the job? Do you think you can improve yourself working there? Will it be a good experience? WHY?
Remember to look interested in the job. Of course you are, but I've seem some interviews where the candidate would not speak for himself, only sticking to the questions asked, and would not look very happy either.
Hope that helps!

I suggest doing a search on job interview in the internet. There are hundreds of websites that gives information on what to do during an interview. There are also websites that includes questions that are normally asked in an interview. I suggest jotting those questions down and having an answer prepared just incase that questions pops up during your interview. Goodluck!

Be professional. Make sure you're neat and tidy, speak clearly, smile, and be enthusiastic. It doesn't matter WHY you want the job as long as you want it more than the other applicants, provided you're qualified enough. Also make sure to NOT say "thank you for your time" at the end of it. My experience (and I have ALOT of it) shows most employers do not like this. It's become too common. If possible say something else to express your gratitude. No need to be nervous either. You'll do fine! ; )
