Have some answers already prepared for questions that you know they are going to ask, like work history, why you want to apply etc. Check out the company website, if they have one, so you're armed with some background knowledge about them. That always goes down well, in fact it's a necessity. Should be a breeze.

Tell Me About Yourself - Job Interview Answers

Recommended Answer:
"Many people" sound like idiots. They aren't asking for the physical way that you applied. They are asking why you choose to apply at their store. The most common answers for retail are because "I shop/eat here all the time," and "Because I really love the clothes/products/food here."

If they ask you that question and you say "walk-in", your application will get sent to the circular file since it will appear to the manager that you are a complete idiot with low comprehension skills.

You've neglected to tell us what field you are applying in, hence my generic answer.

Go anyway, they cannot make you sign a contract then and there if you do get it. Anyway if you leave this one and try for the other and don't get it, you're gonna kick yourself.

Thank you for considering my application and giving me the chance to interview. So sorry for the inconvenience.

Your sincerely

Job Interview Questions: What to wear to a job interview?

I'm not a pregnancy expert or anything but since you'll give birth in roughly 6 months, won't you be going on maternity leave?

Mistakes to Avoid When Answering Tricky Job Interview Questions

• I agree with Samurai--you should tell them they will find out and might be mad that you were not honest with them, i guess you could always deny that you even knew but i think you should clear the way now and be straight up with them, u dont want to start off on the wrong foot with your boss
  good luck


• Not if your hugeeeee lol.
  Best of luck tho =)


• Your best bet would be to just go in dressed in maternity clothes. If you try to hide it then they hire you and find out, they can fire you for it. Although it's illegal to discriminate against pregnant women in the workplace, they can make up 1,000 reasons why they fired you. It really is pretty sneaky to try to hide it from them. Just be honest and up front. Besides...if you do fool them and get hired, how are you going to explain a month later that you're already 19 weeks pregnant?

3 Simple Steps for Axing Job Interview Anxiety

• An suit.
  
  That is what you should wear to any interview, even if its for a retail spot. The only thing thing make sure none of the labels from another store are visible.
  
  Make sure that the suit is fitted. The main stile of Banana and its subsidiaries is that the clothes fit the person perfectly.
  
  (girl) Black shoes, grey dress pants with a flair at the bottom, white blouse, back suit Jacket. Try putting your hair in a clean, not messy, pony tail. If you are going to have your hair down, keep it neat. You can change your look, when you are employed there, based on what your fellow coworkers are wearing.
  (guy) Black & shiney shoes plain black suit, with either a black shirt that doesn't require a tie, so that you look a little on the chique side, or a white shirt. If you are going to wear a tie, make sure your **** napkin matches.
  
  NO SNEAKERS.
  
  The main attire of Banana Republic is all black. If you are not going to wear all black, then you must wear the dressy clothes from their line. Banana employees must wear plain clothes with no names on them, prefereably Banana's on clothes.


• lol although i give the first person who answered this person mad props for bein so funny.... where something unique. maybe wear one article of clothing from BR, but i have noticed that BR has really unique style, so dress accordingly but not too weird


• Khaki pants, and a polo shirt.

Job Interview Questions: What clothes to wear to a job interview?

I've got an important job interview soon, but i dont want to go overkill and wear a suit and tie, so I'm trying to find a good balance between clothes.

The irony of it, is its a very casual work place, all jeans and T-shirts. Ironic I need to dress up for the interview!
