Answer 2

Most employers these days, when they are doing an interview, they not only look for experience in the job, but also the interviewee's attitude. Since you have no experience, they'll have to go on your personality alone. To start, what you plan to wear is fine. It's best to dress nice, although for a job like this, you don't have to wear a suit and tie, but at least look nice and neat. Some would say it's best to wear the merchandise you would be selling (Old Navy clothes) but I disagree. I say, wear what you are comfortable wearing, but not so relaxed that you look like you just rolled out of bed and threw something on. Make sure you are well groomed (shaved, teeth are brushed) For the interview, just be yourself, and be honest. If they ask you if you have retail experiece, tell them you don't, but express that you want to learn and that you'll do your best at the store with whatever task they give you. If you have experience with counting money (aside from counting what's in your pocket or bank account) tell them. If you know computers, tell them. Also let them know why you believe you'll be a good assett to the store and company as a whole. There is one thing to remember though when in an interview. Answer the questions as honestly as possible. When you walk in, take a deep breath then let it out slowly. This will help calm you. Be yourself. Don't try too hard to make them like you. When people do that, they overplay themselves too much. Also, you may be really nervous about the interview, but remember, the person talking to you, is nervous also. Interviews are never easy for everyone involved. One last thing...the person doing the interview may just want to talk to you for a few minutes, just to get to know you and yoru personality. Don't ramble. Don't start talking about your girlfriend and her former boyfriend (as an example). It looks gossipy. When you are asked a question, answer it in a short, honest answer. Don't give off too much information. Good luck!

Answer 3

Suggest you read about the company. Then when they ask if you have anything else to say or ask at the end of the interview, you're prepared. Always know you're audience, know some facts/figures about True Green before you go. It always impresses an employer that you researched the company you potentially want to work for.

Answer 4

Do a search on Positivae Job Interviews-the time to do search is approx same as it is to ask the question. Its always a good idea to inquire into advancement opportunities for it shows you have ambition. and on the same line state your Goal-what do you wish to accomplish by being employed-but be brief and to the point. ASk how long it normally takes to be able to advance into supervisory positions. Also inquire about 401K,Health insurance and are there raises(usually after 90 days) and are there cost of living and earned raises(Job Performance).Is there schooling available---like what are the steps to eventually get Pesticide Certification(in order to mix and use chemicals considered toxic-pesticides must pass state exam and then get certified-if you plan to stay in Landscaping with hopes of moving into upper management or even having your own one day-this certification is very important and essential to have. Inquire about the daily workday-breaks,lunch-do you bag or customary to stop and all go to restaurant.Although these questions mundane they will prepare you in knowing what to do when you do go to work when hired. Also Impress with your desire to learn on the job and that you enjoy doing this kind of work. True Green is a good Co-heard of it and landscaping ,if you apply and really learn is a field where good money can be made. Good Luck

So many websites....Ok, it's good that you are aware of the fact that you have the right and you SHOULD ask the interviewer some questions yourself. Your turn, right?
First, you should ask questions related to the company, to show that you are interested. Then, you should ask for personal advantages, to show that you are interested, but you also have your needs. Financial, vacation related, health insurance etc etc.
And here is a site as well, why not?

Good luck!

Answer 6

Find out as much as you can about the company and then ask relevant questions. Basically, show that you will fit in the company and be a part of them very quickly with almost no training.

Answer 7

Ask the interviewer the type of work environment you'd be working in. Ask what type of management style the manager has. Ask if you can grow within the company. ie. corporate ladder. Ask what is expected of you in the job you're applying for. Hope this helps.

Answer 8
