Hi there. You don't have last year's high school ID or your what about your driver's license? I would at least take your birth certfication, social security card and maybe a couple of your parents utility bills to prove your address. You may just want to call the store and ask them. You may save yourself a trip if there is no way they will hire you without an ID.
As for tips. Google "interview questions" and find some of the simpler ones to practice with. You are 18....they are not going to expect you to be Miss Perfect. Just be very direct with your answers and don't say the word, "Like" a bunch of times in one sentence. By your avatar, I can tell you have a good sense of style, so hang your hat on that, go in with some confidence and knock 'em dead.

You will have to have some combination of appropriate ID for them to put you on the payroll. Do you have a drivers license, passport, birth certificate, and/or social security card? How about a school ID with a picture on it? You don't have to be 18 to have any of those IDs.
Go in looking neat and clean (check yourself in a full-length mirror from head to shoes if possible), and have some good questions for them so that you'll come across as interested. Answer their questions honestly, and with more than one-word answers.
Good luck!

You need to bring 2 forms of ID then, if you don't have your state ID yet you can bring your SS card, birth certificate or a school ID as well. What ever you do, don't say um and ya. Try to say yes. I hope I helped and good luck with your interview.

If you have a school Id bring that. If not I think as long as you have like 2 or 3 forms of Id you a should be fine. And just remember to look neat and well groomed. It shows that you care.

You may have to prove that you are able to work, so I would bring a birth certificate or some other form of identification (school id?) that proves your age.

Know things about their company and ask questions about them. It shows interest in the job. Ask for the job. Explain you may not have all the answers but will certainly work to figure them out.

Good luck with your interview. Just relax and be confident with yourself. Make sure you ask questions to the interviewer also. Tell him/her that you can be a valuable asset to their establishment. And make sure you dress appropriate...no flip-flops, tank tops, etc....Dress to impress!!

Be yourself, Be positive , pray before you leave your house. ASk whatever you want to God and at end of your prayer say "May your will be done in the name of Jesus Christ". Then leave your house with the intention that everything will be as God has planned.
DON'T FORGET TO PRAY BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE.
