dress nicely, answer all the questions honestly, you may or may not be drug tested, every place is different. they will probably ask you about your previous work history, if you have one. be polite. good luck.

The most common interview is the one to one. The interviewer with the interviewee. The One to One Job Interview is a test/conversation and both parties will end the conversation with an opinion. The interviewer: if the candidate is right for the job and the interviewee: if the organisation is right for him.
The interview starts when the interviewee meets the interviewer. We read a lot in body language signs & other non-verbal communication. The clothes you wear are also important.
The interviewer is going to conduct an 'investigation' in order to see if you are fit for the job vacancy and whether you are better at the job than the other candidates. The interviewer will ask questions of a technical nature and of a general nature.
General questions will analyze your problem solving abilities and your ability to socialize with the rest of the team. Always use previous achievements to back any facts you mention. Even if such achievements were at the school newspaper, employers under stand that school leavers have to start from some where.
Job interview preparation is very important. Make notes of your achievements and study the way you talk about them by practicing.
Apart from trying to see if you have the experience and qualifications for this job, interviewers also want to see how you fit in the work environment, the team and how you relate to your immediate supervisor. Therefore, if you have a one to one interview it is very likely that you will have several other one to one interviews. This is a disadvantage over a 'panel interview'. Each time the interviewer is satisfied you move a rung up in the corporate ladder until you're interviewed by the departmental manager (this depends on the kind of job you are being interviewed for).
Treat each one to one interview with great attention. Do not assume that the next interviewer knows what you told the first one. You will need to mention your preparation and qualities each time.

Just make sure you are dressed nice (business like) no torn jeans or skin showing, clean hair and teeth, makeup but not enough for a Saturday night out. Be on time or early, speak clearly, don't chew gum. Most places do drug testing now-a-days so if you aren't prepared cancel your interview. Questions vary from why do you want to work here to what are your hobbies so be prepared for anything. When they ask you when you can start tell them right away, this is usually a good indication that you will get the job. After the interview be sure to look the person in the eye, shake their hand and tell them it was nice meeting them and you will looking forward to hearing from them. If you don't hear back within a few days call and ask if they have made a decision. Good luck...

I'm taking this for an cashier type position and not for the executive offices. All that should happen is a simple meet and greet. They'll ask you some basic questions to get an idea of your personality and habits. They want to find an honest hard working person, so they may throw a morality question at you (what do you do if you find a wallet on the ground with fifty dollars in it). They'll probably ask you about what potential hours you can work and what they have available. You should ask about potential advancement opportunities (makes it seem that you are interested in staying with them long term and have ambitious nature to you). Drug testing is something to always expect nowadays, but it doesn't mean they will due it at the interview.

Make sure that you have eye contact and look nice. No open toe shoes. Usually they ask you questions about previous work history and what your professional/academic goals are. Always answer as though that job is your dream job. No one wants to feel that you are just trying to find a job. Make it seem like you want customer service for a career. Even if you dont mean it

At times Company's do a drug test, they ask you why do you want to work there? What would you do if....? Make sure you dress appropriate.
