Job Interviews - Will Practice Help?
Recommended Answer:
Show up on time. Smile a lot. Don't dress up but dress very neat and clean, and with a big smile. Answer questions directly, looking right in the person's eyes, and smile. Did I mention how important it was to smile? 8^)
Think about what they're looking for--someone who is good with people, especially children. Someone who is cheerful and makes you feel good. Someone who doesn't mind working hard, when necessary (and if you think it's really easy work, scooping ice cream for families on hot Summer days, you might be surprised!) And of course someone very honest.
Normally when you go for a job interview you want to try to talk about your background, your qualifications, your achievements, etc. But in a job like this you don't have any of that. All you have is yourself, what kind of person you are. By all means be yourself! Don't try to delude them. But try to show up the qualities that you think will make you good in this job--patience, willingness to work, honesty, cheerfulness.
And try to relax. Walk in there thinking they like you and you already have the job, they just want to ask you a few questions before you begin.
Good luck!
