I have a job interview tomorrow for my first job ever. Are there any tips on how I should act, what I should do, etc.? I'm really nervous. |

Make sure you're dressed appropriately for where you're interviewed... you don't have to be too dressy but don't show up in jeans, a tank top, and flip flops. If you don't dress nicely, then the person interviewing won't take you seriously. My boss hired this one girl and when she got fired he told me he was wondering how long she would last and he never really took her seriously due to what she showed up in for her interview (the aforementioned outfit).
If you're getting an app at that time, make sure it's filled out neatly. If a resume is involved make sure it's neat as well.
Answer the questions they ask politely, as honestly as possible, and don't ramble too much when answering. Don't show that you're nervous... make eye contact. I would also say to not be afraid to show a little bit of personality, but don't overdo it.
Show up on time, maybe a bit earlier. We also had this one girl show up 10/15 mins late for her interview and my boss wasn't happy. It should be pretty obvious about that though. |

i've only been to several interviews myself, but maybe i could offer some helpful advice. the key is to make yourself look good without sounding conceited. depending on what type of job it is, stress how well you'd think you would be at the job. for example, i once had an interview with Best Buy, and i told them about how i'm an avid movie person and music person, and then went into detail about different types of genres i'm interested in, and how i'd be able to help out customers find what they are looking for. the main thing to do is just to focus on your strengths, and show them that you would be a valuable asset to their business. most places also look for someone who is extremely friendly and outgoing, and they also like people who will be team players. so, don't be afraid to talk about how you would be able to work well with others in order to achieve a goal. most businesses like teamwork, and people who are able to interact with others well. if you will be dealing with customers a lot, it might be beneficial to stress the idea that you would be able to handle complaints in an orderly manner. a lot of times, they will give you a scenario and then ask how you would handle it. the best thing to do is just to answer them honestly, and within a timely manner. remember to smile a lot, and just try your best to not get too nervous. i know it's hard, but if you just show them that you have a wonderful personality, and would be a valuable employee to their company, then you have a good shot.
i hope this helps. it's kind of sporadically written, haha. |

Im pretty sure there is no Hot Topic in London. Sorry.
Your best bet is finding Camden Market and looking around there. |
