Be Prepared Don't just show up for the interview. The more information you have prepared in advance, the better impression you will make on the interviewer. Bring the following with you to the interview: •Completed job application (if the employer doesn't have it already) •Working papers- Like SS Card •References •Resume (if you have one) •Note pad / pen Be Polite It's essential to have good manners when interviewing. Shake your interviewer's hand. Don't sit until you are invited to. Don't slouch in your chair. Don't use slang or swear. Be polite, positive, and professional throughout the interview. Know Your Schedule Know what days and hours you are available to work. The employer will ask. Flexibility is definitely an asset, because the more time you are available, the easier it is for the employer to set a work schedule. Also know how you are going to get to and from work, if you don't drive. Be on Time Arrive at the interview site a few minutes early. If you're not sure where to go, get directions ahead of time. If you don't have a driver's license, make sure you have a ride. Go on Your Own If your mom or dad brings for you an interview, don't bring them into the interview room with you. Go by yourself. It's important that you speak for yourself and connect with the interviewer, without someone else's assistance. Send a Thank You Note Take a few minutes to thank the person who interviewed you. If you have an email address, send an email thank you note, otherwise send a paper note thanking the interviewer for taking the time to meet with you. Answered By: soulman - 8/8/2011
