What was your first job interview like?

For me it was incredibly casual, I don't think he was looking very hard for anyone to hire. I was just told to cut my hair and that was it. :p

It was with the owner's daughter. It went well, I'm assuming, because I got the job without any experience or references. Pretty typical questions, and she commented on my "bubbly" personality.

For my most recent interview i showed up with long, messy hair (it was knotted beyond belief) and I got the job almost on the spot.

But my first interview?

Pretty casual. I showed up at the doughnut store, talk a little bit about what I wanted out of the job, and I got a phone call a week later asking when I could start training.

But the job sucked. I left after 3 months. They suddenly had to scramble to fill my remaining shifts. (they had less than 24 hours to fill the first one.)

After the doughnut store I worked at McDonald's for a year. During that time, I decided to start growing my hair. One day a manager told me it was time for a haircut. So I went to the drug store, bought some hair elastics and tied a ponytail.

My next shift, one of the managers saw me and laughed so hard that he almost passed out when he saw my ponytail. No one ever said anything about my hair again...

And now i work at a furniture store, so food isn't an issue any more :)

I'm just glad I don't work at the restaurant in my store.

It was going ok until the dude asked me a math question and I was struggling to answer it on the fly :? Fuhgeddabouditt

Mine was awkward because he asked me to cut my hair, still never hired me.

like proper graduate full time job? or HS work job. cause its the difference between a suit and what you wear on a normal day. also depends on company

My first interview wasn't exactly for a job, I was fooled into thinking it was:P, but my second one was for a game tester for which I still haven't got the call.....BUMMERS

I won't lie, I was really nervous, but I aced it, he called me back a few hours after I left the interview and I got the job and started the day after ;)

I'm about to go for my first job interview(it will also be the first time I went to another country :D ) So I was wondering what was your experience with it.Lonelynight

My first job interview was actually my best ever. The guy that was interviewing me was very casual and we got along from the start.
Needless to say, I got the job :D.

Let's just say I didn't get the job. I'm a terrible peoples person so it was very damn hard to answer the interviewers questions in a way that kept them interested...

It was at my college at the media center. The job consisted of taking tv's and other media equipment to class rooms to set them up and bring them back. The interview went good but I never got a call back so I asked my friend about it and he said they hired two people and one of them was an employees sibling.

I was scared/nervous.It all went up hill from there but everytime I try to sell one more I get butterflys.

Never had more then one interveiw thank god but its all the same.

So, why do you want to work at my Christmas tree farm?

I need some money

OK...you play football by any chance?

Yes sir, been playing for about a year now at my high school

Good, I need someone big and strong. Put on your gloves, and lets get started.

That is pretty much how it went; got hired when I was 15 to work a couple months hauling trees to people's cars and unloading them out of trucks. To be honest, it was pretty damn fun.

"Would you be willing to help a customer who needs help?"

"Uhh...I guess so"........****!

My first job was when I was 13 and I don't remember a thing about the interview.

My next interview was k-mart at 16. We were discussing schedule, and the guy asked if I could work from 4-10pm. I thought it out, and realized I'd be going straight from school to work then to bed. I told him I couldn't work from 4-10 cause it would leave no time for me do anything. The interview ended and I didn't get the job. He failed to mention that I'd only be working 4-10 on nights I'm scheduled. I thought he meant 4-10 monday-friday. I'm kinda happy I didn't get that job though.

Just some crappy bagger job at bi-lo when I was 16. You're hired
