The interview format will depend on the position you have applied for. A store manager will have a far more intensive interview process than a part time cashier.
There will be a one to one section where you will be asked about achievements to date, strengths and weaknesses, what motivates you, how you work in a team environment etc. etc. Plan your answers, always have questions to ask at the end - do your reasearch!! find out about market share, local community programs the store support, in store promotions you have seen etc. Show you have a real interest in the company as a whole.
The group interview is used to determine how you will fit in to a team. You will be given a scenario or problem to solve and then the group will be monitored while they solve / work on the task. (think The Apprentice!) This is tricky as you are being assessed on several different areas at once. The interviewers will be looking for how you display leadership / confidence / ability to listen / ability to accept the ideas of others / how you present your ideas / energy / passion / character....... The trick is to be yourself, let everyone be heard, take on board everyones opinion, don't talk over anyone and if it gets a bit unruly, take control then pull the team together.
You may even be given a checklist and asked to walk around a particular section of the store and report on what you think. Here you may look for things such as stock presentation, clear pricing, stock levels / empty spaces, lighting, promotional marketing, stock balance etc. Try to look beyond the casual eye of the shopper and think of how the store is trying to promote itself, what themes are being used, what continuity does this have with the rest of the store / store image etc.
The key is to be prepared, do your reasearch, have prepared responses to the usual questions (strengths / weaknesses / where do you see yourself in 5 years....the usual) and make sure you look good, speak clearly and confidently, make lots of eye contact, use confident but non-confrontational body language and be yourself!
Good Luck.

If you make informed decisions and approach your penny stock investments with the same thoroughness that you’d use in your other investments, you too can unlock a whole lot of profit potential. Learn here https://tr.im/rTvCM
It’s absolutely true that penny stock investors can make very quick gains. Synutra International, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYUT) is a great example of a penny stock. This dairy-based, nutritional-products company has jumped from a little Bulletin Board operation to a billion dollar corporation. The company finally graduated from Over-the-Counter status to the NASDAQ Stock Market bringing with it 113% gains in less than two months.
This happens all the time and it’s how some of the best investors in the world became the richest investors in the world. Buying some shares for pennies on the dollar and selling at $10 or $20 is possibly the fastest way from being a hobby investor to a super investor

A temp on my team told me they had to sing the ASDA tune at the end of the group interview and pat their bottoms like the advert. He was mortified like any typical english person and showed little enthusiasm - ASDA did not call him back for a second interview.

The main problem of almost every trader is the thoughts that trading is game or it's easy money. Before profitable trading you should learn a lot about this field. So, even don't try to trade with real money. You can learn how to make real money from this course ( http://forexsignal.kyma.info ) Second, you should choose the right broker. There are some brokers that plays against their own clients. So, your main goal - find good broker. Third, yo can generate more profits with automated trading software. As you maybe know, there is a lot of different scammers on trading market so it will be hard to find really profitable trading system. That strategy brings me a lot of money every month, all thanks to the course that I posted above. Hope you will follow my recommendations, bye!

A common misconception is that you will have to be a financial and business expert in order to successfully trade binary options. However, this is not true at all. Learn here https://tr.im/zKY2x
Perhaps it’s true when it comes to traditional stocks trading but definitely not true in the case of binaries. You don’t have to be an expert to predict the movement of certain assets.
