Hey guys, I have my first real job interview today. (my last job took me in without one.)

I'm pretty nervous. It's for indigo Bookstore. I'm 18 and i still get nervous for stuff like this :P

Any tips or suggestions? Any funny job interview stories from you guys?

Thanks ^-^

Tell them you think books are stupid and a waste of time but you're happy to help them sell books to people who read. Also keep rubbing your nose and complaining about how tough withdrawal symptoms can be in the first few days. Make sure one of your hands is always kind of shaking, then pop some tic tacs throughout the interview and mutter something about aliens or conspiracies. Ideally, explain early on that you have turret's and make sure to cuss every sentence or two.

If that doesn't land you the job, I really don't know what will.


NO!!  

I think you should smile during it and be positive about yourself.

Just walk in and be confident. Confindence I would say is the best thing to have walking in. As the interview progresses the weight of it all will probably lift off your shoulders and you will enjoy it, good luck.

Tell them that you're a dedicated worker and be ready to tell them about times that you PROVED by ACTIONS that you're a dedicated worker. And also times that you were organized. But, if you like books, then it'd cancel every other question out...:D
