When you approach the interview room--say Good morning sirs and Madam too if there is one and take your seat only after they ask you to do so. Give a broad smile to everyone and look straight into the face of interviewer before and even while answering his question but do not stare at him. While answering the question, "please introduce yourself",please explain your social, cultural and family background to begin with in brief.Then tell about your educational and technical qualifications and highlight credits / class or distinction if any.Highlight the strengths of your personality to make a deep impression on the
interviewers' mind.Put your salary expectation firmly across,which should be distinctly higher than the current one and say that you expect some incentive quite naturally. But still say thereafter that" I leave it to your good sense to decide."In the end take smart steps out AND THANK ALL OF THEM BEFORE LEAVING WITH A BROAD SMILE.Wish you good luck and here I pray for your success.

First, get something nice to wear. A power suit, a business suit, something that strikes up in you as professional.
When you reach there, if you are a smoker, try not to smoke maybe about half and hour before you step in. Companies like spa centre, it's all about beuty and health.
Put on your best smile, remember to greet with anybody you see. Hi, Hello, Good Morning, Thank you, Please. All these will be in consideration. You never know the interviewer might ask her other employer who might bump into you.
Most probably, the interviewer will run through your resume, looking for the experience she needs. She would most probably ask you about your frontline experience. Have you worked in frontline before? Have you deal with customers before? How do you handle them if they are angry or nasty.
Be prepared if she ask you, "why did you quit your last job before you got a new job?" Nevere say anything bad about your last job even if the job sucks. Say something like, "I'm looking to diversify my capabilities", "seeking other challenges", etc. You can also answer, "I left my last job because not many companies can wait for one month for me to tender so it's an ongoing process."
Tell me about yourself, just a little about your work history, it's a good time to express your strength in the job. Say something, i'v been working for many years with so-and-so and so-and-so. I find serving customers very challenging because you get all types of customers but I served them all and it makes me happy if they leave the shop happily. i also enjoy helping my colleagues when they have problems. I like giving ideas to help my company succeed.
Salary expectation, you need to know what is the market like? Don't give too low or too high. If they say they can give you a slightly low pay but you are pretty OK with it, ask them if this is for probationary period and if it will be adjusted.
don't hope too much for medical benefits and dental and annual leave.
A lot of people is blinded by these benefits so much that even though the pay is high, they don't want to take the job. Benefits should come secondary, the pay is your concern.
Good luck and email me if you get the job.

A couple of exercises I really like in preparing for an interview involve some personal reflection and a little writing and rehearsing. To answer the question "tell me about yourself", a career counselor once had me write a statement about myself illustrating what I like about myself that took no more than thirty seconds to say. In my statement, I mention two to three qualities that I really like about myself that I think makes me a good candidate, and I often include a quote that sums up my attitude toward life.

The other thing I do is to list specific experiences I have had that prepared me to take the job I am interviewing for. In a job like this, you might want to have two ready stories which demonstrate your ability to go above in beyond in customer service as well as a story that illustrates your attention to detail or your ability to multi-task I have worked as a receptionist in a spa, and believe it's a lot of all the above qualities. For example, I tell a story where I took several specific actions and extra time and effort on my part to accomplish a special experience for a customer. Good luck

Not sure what kind of question they'll be asking. As far as, "tell me about yourself?" Play up your strong points that you think will be helpful for the job. Just be honest, don't talk too much and get to the point.

As far as salary expectation, if you've done a similar job before and are looking to move up, tell them you want a bit more than you are making now, and I don't mean to say that exactly :) but state the exact dollar amount you are looking for. If you REALLY want the job then you might want to say it is negotiable. Sometimes the benefits you get and good working conditions can mean more than good pay. Good luck!

IS IT A DAY SPA? IF SO THEY WILL ASK ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE ON FRONT DESK AND SECRETARIAL WORK. IF YOU HAVE AT LEASE 1YR ON THAT YOU STILL IN THE RUNNING TO GETTING THE JOB. BE CALM AND RELAXED. STAY FOCUSED AND PAY ATTENTION. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER SAY, "MY APOLOGIES BUT I AM NOT SURE". TELL THEM YOUR AGE, IF YOU HAVE ANY KIDS, IF YOU ATTEND SCHOOL, YOUR PERSONALITY AND BUSINESS SENSE. IF YOU ARE USED TO GETTING $8 AND YOU HAVE A YR EXPERIENCE ASK FOR 8 MAYBE 9 AT THE DOOR(DEPENDING ON YOUR CONFIDENCE) IF 2 OR MORE YRS AND MAYBE $10 OR MORE... ADD $1 TO EVERY 2 YRS EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE AND PAY IS OVER 10. MAKE SURE YOU SMILE AND YOU LOOK PRESENTABLE(REMEMBER YOU WILL BE THE 1ST PERSON THE CUSTOMER/CLIENT WILL SEE THATS WHAT THE INTERVIEWER WILL BE THINKING WHEN THEY SEE YOU).

the best way to answer that is to ask them " well, what would you like to know?" Tell them some of your hobbies, things you like to do in your spare time. And when they ask you about salary well that depends on how much expirence that you have and where you live. Check out the page below to get some kind of idea as to what you'll be doing and how much you should ask for. Hope this helps.

negotiate with your salary. ask them for the salary they had in mind and work from there - never seem desperate.

about yourself - list all strenghts and good things like how organized you are, respectful, reliable, dependable, a team player, on time, a people's person, etc. since you're applying for a front desk position, try to smile, look and act friendly and use a great speaking voice. more than likely you'll be the first person the public will have contact with from your company.

don't forget to look professional during your interview. dark suit and closed toe shoes, neat hair and nails, don't wear cologne/perfume, please be neat, clean and on time. always ask questions about the job/company - it makes them think you're interested.

good luck!!

About yourself: Tell them you have a strong work ethic, you keep your personal life and work life separate, you enjoy your leisure time by relaxing and unwinding, and don't tell them anything about husband or children unless they ask specifically. Your salary expectations: If it is by the hour, request $2.00 more hourly than you are willing to accept, that way you have some room for negotiation. Good luck I hope you get the job.

Give a brief description about yourself to mainly include the experiance you have to help you in the job you are applying for. Don't go in to great detail on your past, focus on your education and job history. As far as salary - you should have some prior knowledge on the exptected pay scale or comparitive pay for the area and position

try a google search to find out the base salary for the position you're going for, then see what the average is depending on experiance. as hard as it would be. try not to look nervous, make your aswers short and to the point, and most importantly always make eye contact with the interviewer.
