Good luck!!!!

Oddly enough I had an interview 2 weeks ago for a new job and they called me back last Friday for a second interview and they gave me the job! ...I start next week Whoot!

Just have a few good questions prepared to ask when they ask if you have any questions ..

Such as how much and how often do you get paid weekly/monthly

What incentives are there such as promotion later on pension schemes/bonus schemes/incentives etc etc

What hours is there/what over time options is there etc

Dress smart even if they don't dress smart on the actual job remember first impressions last/count it shows you can make the effort!

Make sure you get their a bit earlier that way you will of relaxed by the time its your turn

maby a little late now but research the company a bit beforehand so you know what its all about etc even if you know the job backwards that little bit of extra info can be good when your mid conversation or in the Q & A stage!

If they tell you all the answers to your questions leaving you stuck what to ask when they ask do you have any questions tell them no you have fully answered my questions I was going to ask thanks .. (you could get them to go over a couple of points again at this point to fill some time and shows your interested) or ask them how long they have been doing the job or how they got into the job themselves

Some jobs require experience which is catch 22 you need to get a job to get the experience and you need experience to get the job ...if you don't have the experience tell them you don't have it but are willing to learn! Although sometimes no experience is an advantage they can train you how they need you to be trained and not bring your bad habits of the last place you worked at

Just stay focused during the interview and BE INTERESTED!

I've done the interviewing part myself in the past and if they don't seem interested in the interview they don't really want that job and probably wouldn't be interested when they have the job either!

good luck! i really need a job too

Ditto on that, I need a job right now so I can pay for this stupid ticket! Oh well going to sell my DS and games monday to get the money =/

Arr, The only thing I hate more than job interviews is quitting a job. When I quit my first job, I literally sat in my car for like an hour before getting the nerve to walk in there and saying I quit. Anyways, good luck to you!
