job interview

**gunntims0103** · June 8th, 2007, 18:14

I'm about to go to my very first job interview. I'm a little nervous as to what sort of questions the manager will be asking me. I was originally going to try and apply at GameStop. It would be very easy for me to get there since there numerous GameStops almost everywhere. It would also be great to work there because i deal with games almost everyday anyway. Hence DCEmu :P

I applied to FinishLine http://www.finishline.com/store/index.jsp

I have an interview with them in a short while. Its a sneaker store, which sneakers is a second hobby of mine. First would be DCEmu.

Any words of advice for my first interview would be great

Here are a few questions they could ask

age
where you live
school qualifications
any experience in this type of work before

Also when you go in there try to make a good impression as soon as you go in through the door.

Dress smartly
Speak clearly

Sit up try not to slouch and look as if you cant be asked to here.

Make eye contact with the employer I know its hard for some people but it can show you are interested.

They make ask you: if you have a criminal record , ASBO, Reprimand

My advice to you is to be yourself, no point trying to be anything else!
Good luck gunntims!

Make sure you make a firm hand-grip when shaking hands, but don't break their hand (I nearly did once).

Thanks guys, just got a hair cut and im about to get dressed soon. First time ever getting a job so im a bit nervous. Its like being a bird nursed by family and friends, then thrown into the "real world".

It should be good experience for me.

You WILL get the job, I have faith in you!

this is very important in general.

being on the recieving end of a stroke is one of lifes most uncomfortable moments.

other than that...be normal, but dont cross you arms

whoever interviews you will most likely make up their mind within the first couple of minutes.
