Good!
Never bad mouth a previous employer.
Something like, "I don't feel I was given adequate training" is OK, and so is, "they often changed my schedule after it was posted."
These are "plain vanilla " answers which can be easily explained. "They wanted me to operate a machine was not familiar with"
or " I wasn't scheduled to work Tuesday, so I scheduled a doctor apt that day, but then they changed my schedule so I had to work Tuesday. This happened more than once."
They may ask you what you liked best about a job. "I liked the manager," no good. I had an opportunity tol earn Excel. Good." Factual.
Be neat. If it doesn't apply, either n/a ) not applicable) or a -. If it asks a phone # of a prior employer and you don't know, ask to use a phone book.
Goodluck. Be yourself, and go get "em.
