So, like the title says, I have an apprenticeship interview as a wholesaler tomorrow, which will be probably in group of 8 to 12 other applicants. There will be a recruitment test before the actual interview begins.
I internalized some important surface info about the company (when it was founded, expansion in foreign continents, some branches they're in).
Also, I decided to go exactly in this attire: https://mosaic01.ztat.net/vgs/media/pdp-gallery/ES/42/2D/04/XG/11/[email protected]
Do you guys think I'm good to go? Or do you have some general tips, so I don't completely fuck it up?
Yo, is this enough guys? I don't wanna come off as a complete autistic faggot.
In terms of attire I would personally add either a jacket or a tie if the apprenticeship is for a white collar job. If it were me I'd go with the jacket bc I think it looks better (just don't go with both a tie and a jacket lol)

You're asking this on a vietnamese book forum, we don't know either dude. But if you got accepted for an interview it's pretty good already.
It's normal that you're nervous. Maybe just act like if you're already working there and you're doing a a meeting to get to know your new bosses or something like this.

Even if it's a pre-interview, always be prepared to answer all those bullshit interview questions.
And it sounds like a sales job. So always know how to answer "Sell us this pen"
I also agree with the other anon, wear a blazer
Decent advice here.
If you researched the company, chances are you already did more than 1/3 of the other applicants at least. Sounds to me like you're taking this seriously, which is a good sign. Just try to seem confident, make eye contact, ask questions, respond clearly when spoken to, and so forth. I don't know what to expect from a recruitment test, have you ever applied for any similar jobs before or is this your first job?

Yeah, it's rather cold where I live, so I wear a navy-blue wool coat over me - looks good for business jobs. I wore ties, or generally a full suit when I had interviews in white collar jobs, but I was comparatively (way too) overdressed. I was kind of astonished how lax the dresscode if you're not working for a bank or in the gastronomy.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind and act like it. I usually am confident in interviews but also am a pathological perfectionist, and can come off as stiff and cold. So, I'll embrace the warmth or similar shit.
>>18121603
Yeah, I thought about some, like the typical strength/weaknesses questions, reason why I applied for their company and want to this job, and have answers for them (which were also on my motivation letter).
Ha, thanks for the reminder. The taks of selling something didn't cross my mind, but I imagine it would be easy for me being convincing.
>>18121604
Yes I have, for the past two years it was always an apprenticeship in sales but I wasn't lucky to get one, yet - so I'm a little familiar with the business environment. I only worked voluntarily in mobile social services before.
>>18121606
Oh yeah, and I also had recruitment tests before, so I can kinda think what could be in this one. But they usually vary from company to company, even though they are somewhat standardized.
>>18121604
Whoops, the reply above is addressed for your post.
>>18121638
Well then you already know far more about this than I can possibly advise. Good luck with the interview!
>>18121664
Thanks man! And I'm sorry if I wasted your time; I'm such a pathological perfectionist and just get the kicks before an interview, thinking I'll fuck it up somehow.
