I have my first job interview 次 week. Any tips? Also, the interview is at noon and I have class before that so it's not very practical to dress up. So, do あなた think it would be ok to wear a nice sweater & black jeans with black boots?

Doesn't matter what あなた are doing before, get suited up. あなた have to dress to impress.

Be prepared to answer 質問 about time management, and how あなた organise priorities, as well as how あなた get on with people.

Be relaxed, prepare your 回答 ahead of time.

I've been to dozens of job interviews and what above said, dress to impress. First impressions are paramount.

If you're worried choose a suit, get it cleaned, laundered and then hang it up on a コート hanger, wrapped in a large plastic bag so it doesn't crease and keep it in your locker. That way あなた can change in less then 3 分 and be on your way. Make sure your shoes are shiny and brush your hair. If あなた have no time to clean your teeth, suck mints.

Prepare your 回答 before hand, like above said. Imagain what 質問 they will ask あなた and write down your answers. Practise in a mirror, with friends, your parents, your tutors until あなた can rely on eye contact to get あなた through.
あなた CV should include any other jobs あなた have done, references from your employers, anything あなた do out of school time あなた find interesting, what grades あなた have/grades あなた are predicted.
If あなた haven't had a job yet, ask your tutors if they will write a short note on how they find あなた in class.
And the best tip i was ever given. If あなた do not understand a 質問 the employer asks, または wish for もっと見る time to think about your answer say ' could あなた please repeat the question.'

Just remain calm and be as honest but positive as あなた can.

For example,i told my current employer though i had expereince in waitressing it was not as high class as the establishment they were in, and that instead of telling me what to do (like how to carry 7 plates instead of 3) they would have to 表示する me as i was a visiual learner. That will give your employer the confidence that あなた know what あなた need to learn.

I was employed in September 2010, we are now in Janurary 2011, and i am already an under-manager. To say i started as a waitress, that isn't so bad.
But あなた must 表示する あなた can work hard and take things in.
