First job interview/informal meeting tomorrow.
It shouldn't be anything too formal, as it will be an entry job as a sales associate at a store selling sports equipment.
I just want to know what they'll probably ask.
I'm assuming, Strengths and Weaknesses?

If you have a resume, they will probably ask you about it. Then they'll move on with work experience and why you want the job. One question i know many employers ask is " If i were to call your previous employer, what do you think he would say about you". It's mostly a trick question, trying to check you out, or see if you'll panic. Well, i think that's it. Haven't been to an interview in 4 years. Hope this helps.

usually for something like that, any type of informal interview, they won't ask about strengths and weaknesses....they'll probably want to know if you'll be on time for work if you were hired, if you have more than 2 brain cells in your head, stuff like that.......I worked retail a few times....not to downplay the job but retail seems to have issues dealing with people showing up in the first place, being on time, working Saturdays, etc....so if you're reliable that goes a long way.

Be as knowledgable as you could about the agency and the interest. Be prepared to play up your strengths and your interest skills; they for sure knwo your heritage, and they have stated as you in for an interview, so your journey has inspired them circuitously. do not get hung up on the actual undeniable reality that you're getting right into a diverse variety of interest; merely concentration on the skills you've obtained--it really is what they're attracted to. also, have a itemizing of questions you would opt to ask; which will prepare you're fascinated interior the business enterprise.

They are probably just going to ask you why you are interested in working for them and can you get to work. Stuff like that, I wouldn't be to worried about it. You should wear something nice though because you never know who will be looking at that. Sometimes when you least suspect it someone will be checking out how you dress and that may make a difference in whether or not they hire you.

Why do you want to work here?
Why should we hire you?
Do you like working with the public?

Do you mind working with people?
What would do if........?

Basically, don't be yourself, if you are, you're not going to get hired. Just lie about everything... always lie.
