Got a job interview...

Got a "group interview" for a job as a sales assisstant at waitrose which is basically a retail store for middle/upper class people. and tips and what i should wear? what questons would i expect?

Dress in the sort of clothes that employees wear on the job. You don't want to be under dressed because you'll look sloppy; but over-dressing will make you look just plain silly.
If it's retail you almost certainly won't need a suit. Probably a polo shirt and nice pants will suffice.

Personally i wouldn't rock a suit for a retail interview as I think it's a bit much. A suits fine if you want I'd go with a nice pair of slacks and a dress shirt (with a tie if it's a fancy store). As for what to expect, if it's a group interview, that typically means they're just interviewing almost anyone who applies (mass interviewing). Don't expect a long interview in group interview sessions. Just the basics.

suit if you don't got one business shirt with a tie will be most likely be better. Don't want to OVER DRESS

try not to be nerves and have some backbone and you be good. It's just a retail store... Now i don't mean slack off  i just mean there is not much to it.

[QUOTE="sourpatchkids29"]lol, yea I over dressed for an auditing project. I went in with a suit(over dressed) plus as I walk in of course it was casual Friday, so that made it even worse.Pirate700

Suit and Tie and you can never go wrong.

Also, appear energetic and interested. Pay attention!

[QUOTE="Allicrombie"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]Then there's the exact opposite, the people that really under dress. I'm always amazed at the amount of people that think black jeans and black boots or skate shoes are dressing up for an interview. If I was doing interviews, and someone came in wearing jeans, I'd immediately thank them for their time and move to the next person.

Dress like this:

If you got a blazer, use it, have a white dress shirt under and maybe some nice jeans or compliment color khakis if you have em

Also use a brown belt and some brown shoes. black is a bit boring. That's optional though.

It's a retail job. Wear a polo shirt and khaki pants. A suit will make you look like a tool. Also, a "group interview" doesn't sound too promising, so keep your expectations low.  Employers who actually want to hire you usually don't make a big thing of the interview process, and certainly aren't going to call you to some silly group session.

Nothing but obvious procedure here. Be prepared to think in a business friendly mindset and answer in regards to the regulations more so than personal views.

Funny because it's true.

Wear a jean jacket with  no shirt on. Wear faded jeans with rips and tears and them and come in with your hair looking like ozzy.

A suit always looks good, no matter wear you go.

:P

hmmm, middle class and upper class? If you got the gift of gab the employer will hold you in high regurds if you can talk people into spending money. For any interview you should go suited up. As far as tips go... always remember the customer is right (even when they are obviously wrong). Your job is to sell product while being professional and charming.

Do some research on the company. Bring 2 copies of your resume, in a manilla folder. Be prepared to explain how you would handle an upset customer. Have one specific example of overcoming an obstacle with a solution(i.e. time frame, name of company you worked for, or the people involved). Ask a couple of questions when they ask if there are any questions.
