Crunch time,I go to my interview tomorrow.
It's for secretarial work at a holiday park/family center/sports facility.
Any tips about presenting myself? (neatly obviously)
What sort of questions I should expect?
How can I turn shyness into a positive trait (the only one I can think of is that it means i'm dedicated to my work sooner than wasting time chatting unnessesarily but i'm not sure how to word that *if at all*)

they're obviously going to ask you how get on with people and perhaps how would (or could ) you handle a difficult situation --- people can be so finicky .
you need to answer all questions positively and to the point . don't ramble ( chatter ) on listen to the question --- take a moment to analyse it then answer confident and straight to the point --- but don't freak if you think you may have got it wrong --- it's a job interview not an interrogation . good luck

Only thing you need to know if some info about the workplace itself, make sure to ask questions but not too many, and come across as a hardworker, teamplayer, problem solver, meets / exceeds ALL deadlines and you can work with little or no supervision. No one wants to babysit you. Other than that, don't joke around much, laugh at his / her stupid jokes but not excessively, and keep hands still. If you are wringing together your hands you are the nervous type, and they won't hire you.
Good luck!! Hope you get the job.

Why should the hire you is one question but the main question is why shouldn,t they hire you. Go in there and kick some butt. I interview people all day and i know if i will give them a job or recommend them in the first 30 seconds

As far as "chatting" goes - you can tell the interviewer that they would not have to worry about you wasting your time "chatting" since you prefer to pay as much attention to your work as possible and do not like to have other employees unnecessarily distracting you with their idle chatter while you are working to do the very best job that you can do!. -

Be natural, prepared, calm, smart, but don't be cliche!
