Some customer at work today was complaining she was so tired, because she stayed up til 3 am to help her 15 year old daughter prepare for a job interview. At a grocery store.

Don't do that.

Some oddball questions I've been asked at interviews are:

"What was the last book you read? What was your favorite part?"

"What's your favorite song and why?"

"Tell me the best experience you had with a customer at a former job."

"Quick - what's thirty divided by three?" (In the middle of something else)

"What was the name of the first pet you ever had? How old were you?"


Depending on what you'll be doing on the job, be prepared to do a basic skills test (math, organizing, alphabetizing, filing, typing, etc)

Overall, dress well, get some sleep the night before, eat a good meal before you go and don't put too much stress on yourself to have "the perfect interview" - no interview is ever perfect! Also, it helps to have your social security card and driver's license handy, in case you get the job right away.

Good luck!!
