need help for a interview!!!?

Here are some more tips:

Do a google search for "business casual", go to their images link, browse the photos. Iron your clothes and shine your shoes. Trim and clean your nails. If you're a boy, get a haircut and trim or shave off all facial hair. Visit the store and see what the employees are wearing. If they're all in suits and ties, then up your wardrobe to business attire. Now is not the time to wear the baggy gang-banger pants or the muffin-top tight jeans.

First impressions mean everything. Be early. You would rather be waiting 30 minutes early out front instead of being even 1 minute late. Give a firm handshake and look your interviewer in the eye. Don't slump or shuffle. Remember their name and use it often. Depending on how they introduce themselves, use the same name they introduce themselves with or use Mr. or Ms. (last name).

They have already read your application so they know what's on there. They want to know, and your job is to inform them:

1- why you want a job at their company, why a retail store?

2- why should they hire you and not the other applicants.

3- that you're honest, energetic, and intelligent.

To address 1, familiarize yourself with the store's products and clientele. Look at the store's website if it's on the internet. Go to their corporate website and look up their mission statement and values. Memorize some of the phrases and words from the mission statement and values and use them during your interview. Tell them you have always had positive experiences as a customer at their store, you want to get involved in the business world, and you can't wait to join a high quality retail team such as theirs (Definitely use the word team).

On point 2 - one of the biggest convincers for interviewers is enthusiasm. Smile, look them in the eye, use hand gestures, sit up in your seat, don't fidget. You're demonstrating your demeanor that you would use with customers. This brings up the biggest thing of all - customers. You are customer-oriented. Your goal for their store is to ensure satisfied customers - before, during, and after the sale. Finally, employers want a committment. They want a team member (and whenever you refer to yourself in the interview you should use the words 'team member') who shows up to work on time, listens and implements the things they are taught, sets the example for other employees, and responds willingly to requests, even at some sacrifice to time off.

3 - honest, energetic, intelligent. These above all other traits and values are prized by employers. Make sure you weave these words into your conversation with your interviewer.

As for questions, one of the best things you can do is make a connection with your interviewer, get them talking about themselves. Ask about their role in their company... it might be assistant manager or something (try to find out first), and express an interest in becoming a manager yourself someday. Ask how they started out in the company, or career field, and how would they recommend a young person such as yourself map a career progression into management in the store. Even if this is just a summer job you can give the impression you'll be back to join their team after high school. If you are the assertive type, then by all means complement the interviewer on the interview, stating that you were comfortable and that you feel you were able to present yourself well to the company. Other questions: When will I start? Or, when will I hear back from you? When are the high and low seasons for the business? Are there any new or exciting product lines that will be introduced soon? What department will I be expected to work? Can I have a tour of the store and meet some prospective co-workers?

Finally, go to the library and read a book about interviewing. There's almost too much info out there, but you will be miles ahead of where you are now if you read a book.

Good Luck!

Hey, i just got a job at a restaurant about 3 weeks ago and i'm still going strong. I would recommend a casual shirt (Iron it) and plain trousers (don't wear jeans). Have your hair as you like, use it to make your look casual. When you get in just tell the person at the counter that you are here for an interview and have him/her were the manager is. Then just follow the managers lead. For example:

Man: Hello?

You: Hey, i'm so and so, i'm here for the interview

Man: Oh yes, i'm so and so, manager of Subway (he might stick his hand out at this point of which you use your right and shake firmly for about 3 to 5 seconds)

You: Good afternoon sir

Man: Take a seat

You: (sit down)

Man: What experience do you have?

You: I've done the odd bit of babysitting and nothing can be harder then that. I've never done this type of work but i'm keen to learn.

Man: Excellent, see you monday

Yay you are now in the money!! Whoop

Obviously it will be longer that that but that is the general gist. Also bring your ID and any other things you had to sign up for at 16 because he may want you to do some paper work. It's easy, just treat him like a long lost uncle, friendly but formal.

My parents owned a preschool for over 10 years and they looked for outgoing individuals that dressed comfortably and weren't about highend fashion. Listen to "i hate dr. phil's" response. She's correct in stating to wear flats and no low cut tops. Dress in slacks, collared shirt and comfortable shoes. And definitely bring materials and ideas you have to teach these kids. As for questions, be prepared to answer questions like: 1. How long have you been teaching? 2. What do you enjoy about teaching? 3. Have you ever successfully potty-trained children? 4. How would you handle an angry parent? 5. How would you handle two kids fighting? 6. If someone other than the parent came to pick up a child what would you do? Those are just a few. I'll answer them for you. 1. This is your opinion. I'm sure you can answer that easily 2. Same with this one. 3. Again, same. 4. Handling an angry parent is difficult only if you've never done so. If the director is available, always tell the parent that they can speak with them. Never get involved, since it's not your place, and it's best handled by upper management. 5. Separate the two and speak to them individually. You probably know the answer to this as well. 6. If someone other than the parent comes, the school usually has a list of names the parents leave in case of an emergency. First contact the director. If they're not there, then call the parent to confirm pickup. I really hope this helped. :) And Good Luck!!

Wear a button up shirt with a collar (no tie), khaki pants, belt, and dark brown or black shoes or wear a clean, wrinkle free white, black, brown, or blue polo style shirt. No logos, designs, etc.. A button up or polo style shirt looks good with khaki/cotton pants or dress slacks. Dark shoes (black or brown) and dark socks. No jeans or shorts. No athletic shoes, flip flops, sandals, or open toed shoes. Do not wear cologne. Have fresh breath and well groomed hair. Shave your beard or mustache if you have one

Since this is Subway, I recommend wearing a polo style shirt as this reflects the type of uniform usually worn in food establishments.

Hope this helps.

You don't really need to dress up for subway. It's not really formal job. Lol.

You should wear something clean and simple. And you should be really confident when talking to your interviewer. NO CHEWING GUM. CROSSING HANDS/LEGS. Always say thank you. and be ready to listen and answer questions. Just be honest.

Dress up in a clean outfit. Make sure your nails are clean also. Tell the manager that you really need the job and will work very hard and come in whenever you are needed. And then do it! It's a great opportunity to start your career!

Relax for one,

2. Wear casual, not anything crazy, you want to look professional even though it is Subway [no suit and tie/skirt and jacket]

It's *an interview. And chill. It doesn't take much skill to say "What bread? How long? Would you like a combo? It comes with a cookie." I'm pretty sure you can handle it.

If you have khakis or nice cargo's go with those with a golf/polo shirt. Avoid jeans. But don't go over the top, it is just subway.

Wear something you might wear to a school function (no suit or tux of course). Jeans and a sports shirt should be fine.
