<p>So I just got a call from CVS and I am scheduled for an interview on Sunday for a cashier position.What do I were(suit, or nice dress shirt,tie,dress trousers, and polished shoes but no jacket)?What do I bring?What is asked to me? Can I balance a hectic school life along with having a job part-time for about 15-20 hours a week? Is it good for college applications? Thanks.</p>
<p>A suit is a little too formal but the rest sounds nice. Make sure your shirt is tucked in.
I guess you can bring a resume if you want but I don’t think it’s a must if you don’t have any job experience.</p>
<p>As for the interview part:
Make sure to smile a lot or at least have an expression that looks friendly and approachable. I try to not let anything ruin my mood before I go for an interview. </p>
<p>Think of questions to ask your interviewer to show interest in the job. For example, “what is an average day here like” “what are some of the responsibilities of this job” “what do you like about working here”. Yes, I understand that it’s just CVS but showing interest can distinguish you among other applicants. Don’t ask about money though.</p>
<p>When asked “tell me about yourself”, try to point out reasons why you’re a good fit for the job. For example, someone who plays a sport may mention that they have good people skills that would help with being a cashier. </p>
<p>Be prepared for the question, “why do you want to work here”. Think of a question that is fit for mainly this company. For example, the last interview I had was with a fast food company that did no use beef. I mentioned how I thought this was a healthy choice and I also mentioned some specific stuff I really liked on their menu. I actually haven’t eaten there in maybe months or years. Do research if you have to. </p>
<p>Thank you interviewer right after the interview and possibly a few days later if you haven’t heard anything yet.</p>
<p>I don’t know how helpful this last tip will be but if you’re asked anything about your personal life, don’t say negative things about them. During my first interview, I wouldn’t stop talking about how dirty my school was. I was being interviewed by the owner of the place too so I think that gave off the idea that I would say rude things about his company too.</p>
<p>Yes, working does look nice on a college app. It’s also good for your pocket and bank account too. Shows responsibility and independence. Most people usually do 15-20 hours but start off low and ask for more hours if you think you can handle it. Trial and error I guess.</p>
<p>thanks, I got the job
