Question Posted Thursday September 23 2010, 10:08 pm
sooo. im 20/f. i've worked as a server for almost 4 years now at a few different places, but next week i have an interview for a serving position at this really popular bar near the university i go to and im so NERVOUS! i applied there not expecting to even get an interview, because from what i've heard its pretty hard to get a job there, and you typically have to know someone to get an in. what should i do at the interview to help me out? i've done several interviews through out my part-time career, but not at a place like this. it's a bar/grill but they have concerts, trivia/bingo nights, greek events, and all kinds of stuff, so its a place that hundreds of people apply to. the day i applied there were prob 10-15 other girls in there applying at the same time as me, and im just hoping i get it. the only thing i have to help out my case is my experience. any advice??

Even if the interview isn't until that afternoon you want to look and feel fresh, not like you've been up all night stressing about what to wear, what to say, how to act and so forth. Start getting ready a few hours before you have to take off for the interview. This way you have plenty of time perfecting your appearance without feeling rushed.
During the interview RELAX! I know this job is a very rare opportunity. If worse comes to worse you get another job making a little less money and find something just as good or better a little down the road. Just be sure to sound as confident as you can, smile, look the interviewer in the eye when you speak to them and let your beautiful personality shine through!
