Go really stoned, and then tell them that you're stoned. They'll respect your honesty.

Relax, smile, be polite, shake the interviewer's hand and say "Pleased to meet you" and stuff like that :) Don't worry, it'll be fine! Oh and act keen and interested!

I'm not sure exactly what that is suppose to mean. Are you on par with cashiers or store/section manager?

Tell them that their store sucks....lol jk.....

Go in there looking nice (clothes, make sure your hair isn't all messed up, etc.), be sure to speak politely, speak cleary, loudly, and enunciate, be sure to answer any of their questions, and maybe have a few questions for them :).

Just remember to touch the interviewer on the shoulder repeatedly, you should be CEO in 2 days

in addition, quality in customer orientation and commercial skills should be highlighted as your strengths during the interview

previous jobs / success stories in the recent past will guide you in telling what and why you are suitable for the job

but in the end, don't lie, personal knowledge of your weaknesses and guidance requirements (as assistent wanting to become manager, do you?) it's propably a matter of being on the same level with your boss and have a click (chemistry)

basically my advice is to agree with what they say (at least for your first week on the job :p)

good luck.

Make yourself look good, as in combing your hair, shaving, and wearing business casual attire. And for the questions, it's best to exaggerate a little, but come mentally prepared of what you're going to say so you don't contradict yourself. What ever you do, DON'T CONTRADICT YOURSELF!

Be prepared for the interviewers to ask you questions about your greatest weakness ("I work too hard!"), about times you have shown leadership qualities ("I singlehandedly saved my chess club from a zombie attack"), and so forth.

Make ten "I [heart] TJ MAXX" buttons and wear them all over your body.
