BF2S Forums Job Interview: HELP!!!!!!!!

What kind of job is it?

And it's mostly going to be theoretical and "what would you do in this situation?" questions. Just be cool and bullshit, that's gotten me through interviews and most of my life as well.

Lol my job interview at subway was super easy they didnt ask me any weird phsyco questions they just asked what kind of hours im looking for and stuff.

Tbh since this is your first job interview, it's probly to a job that doesn't require amazing crudentials

Popular questions:

Where do you want to be in five years?

What is your greatest strength?

What is your greatest weakness? (this trick here is to make your weakness positive, ie, I am too thorough sometimes and have trouble deciding when good is good enough. Time is money after all.)

Theoretical stuff like Omega said. Be prepared to answer off the wall stuff sometimes, that may not actually have anything to do with what job you're interviewing for.

Also, ASK QUESTIONS.  By you asking questions, it shows that you are genuinely interested in the position. If you don't, you may give off the vibe that you aren't really that interested at all. Of course, do everything in moderation: don't bother the interviewer too much.

You'll want good posture, multiple copies of your resume (if applicable), be well dressed, be well spoken, and try not to be too nervous. Be yourself, within reason. You can't lie yourself through the interview on what type of person you are, because it will most likely bite you in the ass when you start working there.


Edit: doesn't seem like a huge position, just a first (shit) job. (Don't worry, I've had plenty of shit jobs too in the past). These are good pointers though when you move on to a serious position, so keep these in mind.

Tell them of your excellent posistion within any kind of team work

Don't be nervous with your hands and look them in the eye (or both if they have two)

Relax

Start it all off with a firm but genuine handshake

Good luck with it make sure you tell us how it went.

crudentials

not to look down on your job but I doubt subways have a rigorous application process

They don't, lol. That was my point

All they asked was my hours and about school
