I see why you got only one because I'm lost on advice also. Interviewing is hard check out www.tesh.com and see what advice he has to share.

Well, I'm not familar with Harrods. But anyway, keep in mind that first impressions can make or break you. So go dressed up, big time. Look very professional. Be very polite, think before you answer any questions. Try not to be nervous. Look the interviewer directly into their eyes when you answer, and be still when you answer. Any movement could throw them off. Also tell them that your goal is to be their best employer, and you're willing to take any training necessary to make profit for the company. I wish you the best of luck...

My first advise is to get mentally ready for this job by presenting your very best without hesitation and with your best confidence. Whatever you do, don't tell them that the reason you want to work for them is because you have too. Make it seem as if you've done some homework on the company and you've choosen them as a target employer because of something specific... ex. there corporate culture, there product philosophy, you've talked with other people there and they love it,. etc. Might be a good idea to stop in there early and ask some current employees what they like about it.
Also, check out their website to see if you can find some unique things that they themselves talk about and use that as a basis for your answers. Here, you'll also probably find out why they are different than other shops. Try to answer that question to yourself before going into the interview and be prepared and professional.
Interviewers like to see possible candidates that have done some homework and have prepared by finding out about the company and how you can contribute.
Hope this helps. Good luck. Positive attitude.

I would say the heritage. Harrods is a famous store known around the world and being in business for over 150 years shows you are doing it right. I feel I could learn a lot from such an establishment and would be excited to be associated with it!

If they ask you why you want to work at Harrods your answer could be "Harrods have a good reputation and they offer superior products, they also offer high quality service and these are factors that I have a high regard for in business". Good luck.

I dont know what Harrods is but really think about the job you will be doing there. That should help, Just focous on the job and what they will gain buy hiring you. You must sell yourself and give them a reason to hire you.

, Make sure that you are dressed appropriately for the interview. When asked, tell them why you want to work there, that it is a great opportunity to work in the best shop in London. That heir are re known for their quality products. Tell them that you feel that you would benefit from what you can learn there and that they would benefit because you would be hard working, loyal, and conscientious.
