Job Interview Questions: What types of questions should I expect for my first job interview...?

I have an interview tonight at what would be my first job. I'm not really that nervous but I want to be somewhat prepared as to what types of questions will be asked. Thanks for the help.

The Importance of Great Job Interview Answers



Recommended Answer:
They have interview questions on the internet so you could look some up. Why are you interested in working here?, Do you eat here? What do you expect as a customer? What hours/days can you work? Do you understand the dress code? (It helps if you can show your personality, but don't over do that. Let them know you have a sense of humor, but don't be too friendly/familiar, it would show lack of respect) Look them in the eye, firm hand shake. If you don't understand a question ask them to give you an example of what they are asking. Most places use general questions, but they can often have different meanings. The thing you need to understand about customer service is that the customer could have had a problem long before they entered the facility, and the slightest thing you did or said could have set them off. So while it is important to try and do anything you can to please and keep your customers, it is also important to realize that there are a lot of people scamming businesses these days. There is a fine line between, "What can I do to keep you as my customer?" and knowing what customers are harmful or not wanted in your facility, and are just there to scam your company. Just try and do the best you can, we all think of better answers when we get home. When you leave, shake the persons hand and thank them and try to remember their name and use the name when you thank them. Good luck

  • It really depends on where you're interviewing at. Since it's your first job, I'm guessing its just a summer job type thing? The people that interview you for those type of jobs usually are inexperienced at giving interviews, and will ask pretty standard questions. Two that you should definitely have prepared are: What are your greatest strengths/weakness and Tell me about yourself. Good luck!

  • For your first job they might ask things like:
    >Why are you interested in working here?
    >Name some good experiences you've had in the past at similar businesses and what made them good?
    >What do you like most about our store?
    >What experience do you have that would help you to do well here? (use school or extracurricular experience since this is your first job)
    >What are your strengths and weaknesses?

    Don't be too fake and say too much that you don't mean, because they can tell. But if you exaggerate a little without completely lying you will be fine.
