Job Interview Questions: My first job interview at A&W restaurant, Need advice!?

I'm planning to dress in a white/blue striped dress shirt and blue jeans or black dress pants. This is my first job so I'm gonna be kinda nervous but have to stay sharp. What kind of questions would they ask? How should I answer them? I live in Canada by the way, if anyone can help or give any kind of advice it would be really helpful, Thanks.

Recommended Answer:
Ahhh yes great question:

What are your 3 biggest strengths? For this one I would suggest you say Multi tasking, Calm under pressure, and a hard worker - customers will expect these 3 things from you

What is your biggest weakness? For this one I would suggest you say something bad that's also a strength such as I work too hard (for this is a weakness in that you don't just work you work too hard but it's also a strength because your ready for any challenge. Another response is I am sometimes too enthusiastic but it's a strength because it's contagious

Why should I hire you over someone else? For this one I would suggest you say I'm loyal, easy to manage, honest, and hard working. The reason for this is managers eat this up, they like to be in charge but they also like someone they can manage.

If you were an animal which one would you be? This one is rarely asked but it might be, think of an animal that has the following qualities : Hard worker, brave, resourceful, team player loyal, etc. Some great answers are an ant, an eagle, beaver (don't laugh), dog, or a cheetah

Tell me a time you provided great customer service. Okay they may ask this, even though it's your first job. Try starting with helping others, charities, etc.

What makes you a great team player? For this one I suggest you think back to a club you were once in high school or outside on a baseball team or other sport or an academic team. If you don't have those go for how you help your family.

As for your atire, Dress to Impress. Go all out. NO NOT ARMANI :) but definately BLUE dress shirt, TIE, Black pants, Black shoes. The reason for blue is it's a positive color and says alot about you. RED usually evokes anger. Plus, as a future store manager (which is what goes on in their minds) they don't want someone leading the store who doesn't even take his/her appearance seriously.

IMPORTANT - remain calm, picture this person as just another person, it's like talking to a teacher or a friend. Don't be nervous, no matter how needy you are for cash, just focus on being articulate, clear, and intelligent. Don't say UM or EH phrase complete sentences and you'll rock this.

Oh and don't let anyone tell you good luck, in my opinion the word luck makes you feel like you'll lose so just keep in mind Do a great job and know many people have been in your situation at least 3 times in their lives so just know you are not alone. It's already over just go it my friend. Just do it.
