It's not anything to be worried about. They'll ask you simple questions like your past job experiences, where you go to school, your experience with this type of work, stuff like that.

Some companies have you fill out forms that ask you the questions and they just review it.

Seriously, don't be nervous. They will understand if you're nervous because, hey, it's your first job!

I promise you, you will be fine. Best thing to do is to stay professional and whoever is interviewing you, shake their hand and introduce yourself and ask them how they are.

You'll do fine. Just remember to breathe [=

The first thing they will ask you about is what kind of experiece qualifies you for the job? They will ask about your education, grades, how well you work by yourself and with a team, your goals in life as well as what you want out of the position they are hiring you for.

They will also ask you about your interests, prior employers, colleagues, what your strengths and weaknesses are and what would your friends describe you like or say about you?

They'll ask questions about ever prior job listed on your resume for sure. If this is the first job you ever applied for and they start asking why you applied tell them what you want to do for them and why you deserve the job.

Be honest, don't volunteer anything they don't ask for and don't embellish when it comes to talking about skills and play up your personality and especially above all show they how well you relate to others as knowing how to handle customers who are snotty, angry, complain all the time or are normal people is critical.

They may ask you something like what would you do if a guest came up to you and griped about X and there was no manager at the desk to help? This is the kind of thing they'll look for. Also try to give them information about your telephone skills and multi-tasking. They want someone who is bubbly and enthusiastic to work front desk too.
