First, try and be calm. We all went through this (my first was for a checker at a grocery store).
Just try to emphasize that you are a hard worker and eager to learn, that you take direction well, and that you would really appreciate the opportunity. Given you are in a cinima, state that you are aware of the importance of the customer's experience and that you are comfortable interacting with strangers. You are punctual and take the responsibility of having a job seriously.
A good thing is to ask the person about the job - are there any issues that think are important? How do they suggest dealing with unhappy customers, noisy patrons, etc? What qualities do they find are important for the job?
Good luck. This is definately not going to be your favorite job, but it is a step in the right direction!!!

A job interview can be one of the toughest scenario you will ever have to face. But it is an ideal opportunity to market yourself to a potential employer face-to-face. The employer uses this time to evaluate not only your skills and abilities, but also your potential "fit" within their organization.
Your goal is to answer their questions honestly with energy and enthusiasm, and you can sell yourself better in the interview if you are prepared. Here are some basic things to remember that will help you become better prepared for acing that interview!
1) Bring several hard copies of your resume. You never know if you will be interviewed by more than one person
2) Arrive at the interview at least 10 minutes early. But don't arrive too early. The hiring process is a busy and challenging time for any employer and assuming that they will be available to meet with you if you arrive too early may hinder your job search efforts.
3) Maintain a professional appearance. Business attire for men and a conservative suit for women.
4) Research the company before the interview. Arrive prepared to ask a number of insightful questions based on your research.
5) Ask specific questions about the position and what the employer is looking for in the ideal employee for this position. Focus your questions on the employer, not on yourself. Put the company's needs first.
6) Rehearse! You should know what your introductory statement to a potential employer would be. Know the key things that you want to say about yourself. Be prepared to explain, succinctly, who are you, what you have accomplished, what your key strengths are and why you are there for an interview.
7) Make eye contact. Offer a firm handshake at the beginning and at the end of the interview.
8) Be honest and get feedback. Do not misrepresent yourself and do not denigrate any previous employers. Ask about salary at the end of the interview and only in a final interview. Ask for feedback at the end of the interview. This will lead to a further clarification of your skills and make you a better fit for the position.
9) Close the interview strongly. You know what they are looking for – because you asked. Use this information to your advantage.
10) Have fun! Companies want to hire people who are not only qualified but have personalities that will add to their corporate environment and culture. Be yourself. Energetic, confident responses go a long way towards reinforcing a positive impression.
11) Follow up with your consultant as soon as possible after the interview with feedback. This will allow the consultant to follow up with the client in a timely, professional manner and will make everyone (including you) look good. Ask your consultant if it would be appropriate to send a thank you note to the employer, it will demonstrate your interest in the position.

most important, why do you want to work there? come up with a good answer, like how much you enjoy watching movies at a clean theater, or how much you love math so you want to be a cashier, but you love movies too so you want to work at cinemark.
also, know your hours when you're available.
know what to answer if they ask "how much money are you looking for" (good answer may be, that depends on what kind of responsibilities i have).
