xPETEZx Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Be yourself. Be early. (at least 15 min) Dress appropriately. (Better over dressed than under.) Take your time answering questions to ensure you answer them well. Don't be afraid to ask for clarification if you are unsure. Research the employer. Find out as much about what they do, and try get something specific which makes you want to work for them. Whats the job your going for?

camaro_dude15 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 parts specialist at orielly's i filled over 100 aplications this summer and they where the first ones to agree to an interview. so i figure parts specialist is better than unemployment specialist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro_dude15 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 so pretty much the guy that stands behind the counter and tells you your warranty is no good because you bought it on a tuesday and installed it on a friday, when you should have waited till saturday, and becuase you didnt lube the bolts, and over tightned them, and had 4 beers when the warranty specifically states no less than 5, while 3 of your buddys watch you when at least one of them needs to help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shurman292 Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 just be sure to dress nice and clean and dont show up too early, 5-10mins is good You don't want to show up so early that you are standing around in the lobby sweating and getting nervous. Just a few minutes early is all you want. Also, what xPETEZx said about researching the employer is some of the best advice you can get for an interview. Know random little facts about the company, know who the head honchos are, know what kinds of work they do. Be prepared to ask a question about the company. Lastly, have one or two questions in mind for the very end of the interview. And do not forget them. Good questions: "How can I use my knowledge of carburetors (or skills or whatever) to help me get familiar with this job?" "How much training can I expect to receive before I begin?" Not-so-good questions: "How much will I be making?" "How many people applied for this position?" "What kind of work do you do here?" <--That last one should have been researched before you arrived for the interview. Overall, just be yourself because if you're not, they won't hire you (they might hire the person you are pretending to be). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaro_dude15 Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 ok and i just found out my father knows the manager who is giving me the interview, i think he is the top guy at that store so that could help me, but even so i wouldnt feel right if i got hired just becuase my dad is friends with him, and they had someone else more qualified that didnt get the job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
