I have interviewed a few people.

1: Be on time. If you get held up, call them as soon as you know and keep them informed

2: Be smart. As it is going to be a food based job get your nails short and spotless.

3: As has been said make eye contact. Speak clearly.

4: If you are not sure what they mean on a question, don't be afraid to ask for clarification. It is better to know than bodge your way through.

5: Be ready for questions that don't have a yes and no answer. Things like "what are you looking for from this job" Obviously a wage. But they would rather hear things like. "to work in a busy team environment where I can improve my skills whilst working with the public." It sounds sucky, but would you employ someone who "just wants a job" that they have no interest in?

6: Ask them questions about their organisation and what they would expect from you. It shows you are thinking about the job and not just the wage.

7: Try not to worry. If you get nervous and start to cock up explain it is your first interview and you are nervous. They should appreciate your honesty.



Just a thought. Have you got time to pop to a Subway before your interview and ask the staff their what sort of things they were asked? (if they are not busy)

Finally, good luck.
