Ok, i have an interview for Either Manager or Assistant manager tomorrow.. Im a little nervous because well... i dont have much manager experience. i do have retail and sales experience and i did make my resume look a little more interesting and just a resume that deserve a second look. (dont mean to sound like im bragging) well anyhow, I had a phone interview. he asked me many important questions like if i was comfortable with scheduling hours and payroll, what customer service meant to me, and so on.... so TOMORROW im going for my second interview face to face.... i find it weird because first of all the interview will not be in the same mall that the store is at, it will be in another mall that doesnt even have one of their stores, why would they do that? Also the person who i talked to said something about the face to face interview was going to be different .... im not sure what he meant by that... i believe it has something to do with not doing it in the work place or the store that i would be hired for.....why would they do that?also what can i do to make me stick out in their mind as the best candidate for the job. If he asks me if i have any questions for him what should i ask? anything that will impress them? also he told me to bring a resume and i decided to include on my resume the past leadership experiences ive had examples are.... i was captain of my soccer team, i was also captain of my hs football team, a youth group leader and i was a keyholder/supervisor in one of my past jobs now i know these are good leadership examples since i was leading a team but can you please give me some more ideas or anything that will help me out.... is it a good way to go? i dont have any degrees i only have a life insurance license and my experience in the retail customer service and sales industry..... any tips or stories that will help anything at all.... please let me know. thanks in advance.

  1. lie lie lie lie... sell yourself like a used car and lie lie lie!

    that is how you get the jobs you want.


  2. well, smile.

    Act like you are enthusiastic, but don't get overexcited.

    depending on your particular style and attitude I would wear a lot of black or a lot of red. They are both very powerful colors that will make a bold statement about you, If you are a more serious professional type i would go with black. If you are very outgoing and genuine and think you can pull off wearing red to an interview, do it.

    remember, it's only middle-management. so don't get too nervous.

  3. JUST RELAX......DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE INTERVIEW....JUST RELAX AND ANSWER QUESTIONS AS BEST YOU CAN....,,THINK REActive...eg.  if asked about scheduling employees around two who are pregnant..ask.."what is company policy on family leave"...in other words let the interviewer answer the question....the one thing that has worked for me...even when i was interviewing for jobs thast paid six figures(and btw i got) was to be honest and forthright...and when i had no ready answer ..i either said so..or worked a question in that got me the answer...again just relax
