Job Interview Questions
18, Female
I have a job interview this Tuesday at Rue 21 (a clothing store). Subway is the only other job I have ever had, and I was related to the manager, so getting the job wasn't an issue. The problem now is I have no idea what to expect at my interview.
I am really stressing out, because I have been putting in job applications for the past six months, and this is the first call back I have received. I don't want to blow this. What should I expect? What questions will be asked? How early should I arrive? What should I wear? I definitely don't want to be underdressed, but I also don't want to look stupid by getting all dolled up.
Help?!

You actually know something you haven't thought about. You know that they like you already and have seen what they like in your cover letter or resume. All you have to do is answer questions about the experiences you had at Subway, how you handled customers, bosses and pushy people etc etc. and your interests in and out of school. T
hey want to see that you have a cheerful personality and the ability to deal with all kinds of people in an assertive and calm way. The only way you can screw this up is with long-winded answers, offering too much info up or badmouthing former employers, managers etc. which you won't do. You'd be surprised ho many people had a job in the bag until they did this.
Be yourself. It's a cliche but its true. They want to see you like you have written about yourself and not a front. When it comes to interviews always go with business casual (slacks, blouse, sweater). However, this is a trendy, urban place so I would say dress in style exactly like their current staff would as is doing.
Having no sense of style and working for a clothing store don't mix. They'll want to see you looking like their clients as well as like their staff. They won't say anything about dress clothes but if they did tell them you wanted to dress like their staff does in stores and how clients dress to give them an accurate reflection of your fashion sense.

Tips for an interview:
Make sure you look good (Clean clothes) nothing baggy, ripped, short, or too revealing.
You should always arrive at least 15 minutes early (Gives a good impression)
Try not to act overly nervous, Stay calm
More than likely you will be asked..
"Why do you want to work at the store"
"What didn't you like about your last job"
"What did you like about your last job"
