Job Interview Questions: What should I know for my first job interview?

I recently applied to several places, and got my first interview! It's a yogurt parlor/coffee shop. What should I wear? I'm thinking of wearing a knee-length dress or skirt. What makeup should I wear? I usually wear brown eyeliner, mascara, blotting powder, and blush. Would that be fine? Also, what should I know for the interview itself? Thanks in advance!

Job Interview Tip Number 1 is Preparation

Recommended Answer:
I say your makeup sounds great. I say go with the skirt. its nice, but not overly dressy. The interview itself depends, but they will usually go over your resume/application with you. Be yourself. Thats how i got my job at olive garden. When i had my interview with them, the manager asked me different questions to find out more about me. One of them was what was i passionate about. just be yourself, be polite. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Is Your Body Secretly Sabotaging Your Job Interviews?

• There is an old saying that is still true these days - "dress for success"; meaning that you should dress very professionally, no matter what the position or company. Use as little makeup as possible, same for jewelry and perfume. Get some background info on the company - when they started, their annual sales, the most popular items, etc to show that you have an interest in the company and not just the job. After the interview, be sure to send a " thank you for the interview" email to the interviewer; this is courtesy and professionalism


• Don't freak out or prepare too much for it. Just research the company, and be honest. Wear proffesional clothes- a skirt or dress is fine, but you can also wear dress pants and a nice tops. Above all, be polite! And always send a follow up email or thank you letter.
  
  Good luck!


• Prepare all necessary documents needed for the interview - Resume, Cover Letter, etc. You will
  always want to take along extra copies of your resume, transcript, and references. Consider purchasing a leather portfolio to hold your documents and a pen and paper to record notes, if need be.For assistance in critiquing your resume or cover letter, come by SMU Career Services and meet
  with a career counselor during Counselor-on-Duty hours, or set up an appointment.
  Plan your attire - First impressions are powerful, so you will want to look professional.
  Some suggestions on professional dress for an interview are:
  Suits/Dresses: Conservative, in dark colors (dark blue, black, gray, or tan)
  Shirts/Blouses: Simple, in soft colors
  Socks: Calf-length, complimenting the suit
  Stockings: Beige, tan, or natural
  Shoes: Men - polished, should match suit; Women - polished, medium heels
  Ties: Silk, coordinated with the suit
  Handbag: Medium or small size, in a color matching the outfit
  Hair: Conservative hairstyle that does not distract from professionalism
  Jewelry: Men - no jewelry; Women - Simple jewelry
