With Wal-mart but this is a serious step in my life what do I do what do I wear? I want to look good and dress up, but not to the point where I look stuck-up. Should I just dress as I dress everyday? What do I say to them do I shake their hands? PLease help me out! I appreciate any answers in advance.

Have you ever thought you could be an actress, if the right part came up, if the chance were there for you? That's all interviews are! Whew! Now you can have some fun! Try this:
Dress conservatively (after hire wear what you want), make-up light, and yes, offer your hand when you are introduced. When anyone speaks to you, maintain eye contact, even if they look down, your eye contact should be steady. Don't glance around nervously, at the environment or yourself (lap, nails, etc.) Make yourself calm before you go in there, and breathe deep and s-l-o-w so you stay calm and don't start talking too much. Smile politely, making Friendly Face, don't chatter, giggle, say "like" or other slangs (save it for after you're hired). Think: how would a professional behave? Then, do that. Visualize, imagine with pictures in your mind, how you want to carry yourself, that'll increase your chances of behaving that way (maybe they'll look at you and think, "hmm, manager material") Hey! They need YOU! They're asking for YOU to apply there! Knock 'em dead!

Dress according to the position you're applying for. A nice skirt or slacks with a dressy blouse for anything on the floor. For a back office job I'd go with a suit or blazer. Smile, be friendly and be the first to extend your hand. Be yourself. Make sure that whatever you wear, its conservative, has crisp creases and fits well. Stand tall, with shoulders back and chin up. Keep the make-up to the minimum you're comfortable with, its an office not a night club. Be prepared to answer questions about why you want the job, where you see yourself in the future, why you'd be the best candidate. Everybody says they are hard working blah, blah, blah. Don't leave that stuff out but don't stop there. Be honest but if you have qualities that fit mention - because I'm fun, can get along with almost anyone, love meeting and working with all kinds of people, these are the things people always forget to mention. Finally, ask a question or two. It shows interest......
Good luck :)

Dress nicely it shows you take the job seriously. After that dress how you dress regular you look nice so I'm sure they won't mind.

Dress professional, but casual. Talk to them like they are humans, but show respect. Shake hands, it is professional.

if those are really pics of you in your 360 profile, why are you working at walmart?! =)
anyways, dress business casual. when you shake hands, tell them that it is great to meet them and you appreciate the opportunity.
