Job Interview Questions: What should I expect at a job interview?

I have a job interview tomorrow at my local movie theater. I've never had a job interview before so I'm kind of nervous. What should I wear? What type of questions would I expect to be asked? Please help!

The Comic Tragedy of Job Interviews



Recommended Answer:
I think you should wear something a level above casual, nice pants and a shirt.

The questions are the manager's way of trying to figure out how well you'd fit there, how serious are you about wanting to work there. He/she would probably be asking you about items from your past to get an idea - do you finish things that you start, can you be depended upon, do you have common sense, do you work well with others? People remember stories, so if you can now think of several examples that would demonstrate the above traits or other things you have identified as important you'll remember them tomorrow and be able to give examples to back up your claims - much more impressive to an interviewer. If you know someone that works there and you've talked to that person about what it's like to work there - I'd be sure to mention that, because that shows some thought and research went in to your applying there. If you really want to work there, find a way to communicate that and why you do during your interview. I think it means a lot when the candidate shows genuine enthusiasm for the company and/or the position during the interview.

The most important piece of advice is to try to be yourself.

Good luck!

A Job Interview and the Ultimate Language Tool to Guarantee the Job Offer


  • Depending who the person is, can quite vary with answers. However what you should know is employers are not your friend and the first impression counts.

    - Answers fully to their questions
    - Dress nicely
    - Expect them to have a snotty attitude towards you, as they want to see what your reaction/tone of voice will be.
    - They WILL interview you in a public area! This increase the pressure as well as they want to see how well you can concentrate under pressure.

    They will ask:
    What is on your resume
    To explain your resume
    To explain job history
    Asking for references
    They possibly might ask [what is your definition of customer service]

    Keep your blood calm, your mind clear, and your stomach full for you better be ready!

    Break a leg ;]

  • Wear slacks and a nice shirt with a collar. If you go in with blue jeans and a t-shirt you have almost no chance of getting hired. Smile, shake hands firmly, but not real tight. Be prepared to answer questions like What hours can you work, what do you think would be the hardest thing about working here, how would you handle a mean customer, things like that.

    Good luck.

  • just be yourself and confident. it will make all the difference and answer whatever you are asked to the point. don't exaggerate

  • Good luck!! Wear something casual but nice.. Casual dress pants and a nice shirt.
