Hey /adv/ I have a job interview in a few hours, I haven't ever done this before, any tips?
It's not a very serious job. I'm just applying at a barbecue restaurant near my house for part time for (around) minimum wage since I'm just in school.
I already know the basics, dress nice, or polite and professional. What are some things to look out for?
Also, I have kind of long hair but I keep it out of my eyes. How fucked am I?
Look at the interview questions on glassdoor.

Doesn't matter. Never give the impression you don't care about work, even if you actually do.
>What are some things to look out for?
Don't try cracking jokes or lighten the mood, it backfires 9 times out of 10. Smile and just be the serious/straight guy.
>I have kind of long hair but I keep it out of my eyes.
As long as it's very clean and it doesn't make you look like you're homeless, it's fine. However it must not be an hindrance to your work. Never, ever get hair in the food.

I didn't mean it like that, I just meant it wasn't like something that I went to school for our anything.
And yeah, I keep my hair brushed and I can keep it tucked up in a hat, since that's what people wear there anyway

I just wanted to make sure that you knew just how important it is to look motivated.
I'd say you're good to go, honestly. Do you know any other languages? Restaurants and markets value communication skills in employees incredibly high. Major props if you know a foreign language that corresponds to the one the major percentage of tourists there talk.

I don't, but I've been playing music in an orchestra and in small ensembles for 10 years. I think I can use that for communication skills and also work ethic and stuff.
Also my girlfriend knows the GM and he brother worked there a few years ago, so I don't think it's going to be that bad.
>>17598869
Ok, it helps that the fact that the most sought after employee is the English speaking one, so at least there's that.
You could also mention that you know somebody who worked there (sometimes they ask you this very question), it makes you look through because you know the general gist of the working condition there and find that it's good, you're not jumping in blind.
>I've been playing music in an orchestra and in small ensembles, I can use that for communication skills and work ethic and stuff
...no, sorry, how does this work? I can't see what playing music has to do with communication and work ethic.
>>17598887
Well it's in a small ensemble setting, so you're working closely with the other players. You also obviously have to be accountable for your own part and carrying your own weight.
>>17598947
Oh okay. Well yes, you could say you're used to cooperation due to that. I wouldn't push it farther tho.
At that job level
1 - assure them you will show up for every shift
2 - assure them you will be on time
3 - assure them you won't be on your phone the entire shift
>>17599124
Well it's at 4:30 and I'm already here. I'm waiting in the parking lot. My phone is on silent and I can say something about accountability.
Thanks /adv/
Well I got the job.
It was easy, thanks for everything guys
