Well... in this type of position you have to be out going and not shy of speaking up or over a mic...some places do that. If you want the job you have to show an interest of what you are applying for and in this case a cashier needs to know basic communication skills dealing with people that have different attitudes, and knowing you are there to help make things run smoothly. I would suggest when you talk to the person conducting the interview limit your answers to short but concise responses, and try not to use the word (um) in between your words. Keep eye contact, and strongly imply that you are willing to learn and develop more within in the company, and you like the thought of something challenging. My advice is simply be calm, and speak clearly do not put a lot of words in one sentence. Breathe in between thoughts. Well I hope you get the job, and all goes well. Oh! remember the interviewer wants to know you are there for the job not just for the money though you may be that is not the way to get the job. Good Luck!! Answered By: Mariyah - 11/4/2009

Become less shy and more outgoing. If you're a cashier you're going to be dealing with people all day and will need to be vocal and friendly. Answered By: angrydragon212121 - 11/4/2009

You should in fact practice smiling in the mirror. Google "typical job interview questions" Basic questions may include: Why do you feel you can do this job? Where do you want to be five years from now? Why do you feel that you can do this job? What was the last book you read? If you have piercing other than earrings --- take them out. If you have tattoos --- cover them up. Have you heard of Sam E? It's over the counter mood relaxer. Might be what you need before an interview. Answered By: Sam - 11/4/2009

I am really shy too but think of it as IF I really want this job then I will have to be outgoing or you will never get it Answered By: Gbaby - 11/4/2009
