trying to get a job
i think i have a connection at logan's roadhouse. this guy who lives down the street is a manager there. anyways, i'm going in either this thursday or wednesday, because those two days are half days off school.
now to my question, could anyone give me any tips? I've applied for jobs before but have never actually had one. i reaally need this job. so can anyone tell me any questions they might ask, what i should wear, say, how to answer the questions? thanks in advance.

Let me start by saying Good Luck! One very important thing to an interview is act confident. Not cocky, but confident. Walk in there with good posture and you head held high, smile, and give a firm hand shake. Wear something professional and not too gaudy. For example, a nice pair of black slacks, a nice white blouse or shirt, and nice black shoes. Keep your hair off your face a neat ,and if your a girl keep makeup simple. Give as much eye contact as possible because that makes one appear trustworthy and honest. I dont know much about the position your going for but some general questions you might be asked are about any experience you might haveand if your in high school they might ask what your plans after when you graduate and what you like about the company or business your applying to. I have been to interviews for many different types of jobs and I have been asked questions like what I think my greatest personal strengths and weaknesses are, why I think I am a good candidate for the position. It all depends on the person doing the interview as well. Some people are easy to be around and humorous where as others are more uptight and professional. For example, my first interview was for Subway and I was in high school and it was my first job. The manager was easy going and not uptight. Since I didnt have any job experience to go off of he asked me if I keep my room clean. Also, you have to be likeable. Be a people person. Be friendly and polite. Be comfortable with yourself and even if you are, try not to appear nervous. Think about the type of person they would want to work there, and be that person. Hope I helped a little and good luck!
