Im 15 and ive got work expierence very soon, i got a place in HMV and have to go to an interview for it, im just wondering what sort of questions they will ask me just so im prepared as im a little nervous as ive applied for a real job aswell

for work experience i dont think they will be looking in to too much detail.

just be polite, respectable & friendly with the attitude that you are really looking forward to working for them and gaining some experience.

good luck

it's just for work experience meight, they probably just want to establish you're not a thieving little scrote. Dress smart/casual and just be enthusiastic

As said I doubt it will be anything particularly taxing for work experience, just go in and be pleasant, appear interested and be prepared to tell them what skills you think you have to offer (most difficult one for me as it always feels a bit like bragging).

Good luck, it isn't anything to be nervous about really as they aren't deliberately trying to make you uncomfortable (normally at least), they just need to find out if your qualities are suitable for you to work with them.

At my "interview" it was just showing me where the bank vault was. :eek:

They probably won't ask you questions, it's more to get to know the place.

ok thanks guys for the advice.

Go in there and be yourself, don't wear a suit (unless you ALWAYS wear a suit) and don't be too nervous with whoever interviews you - call him "man" or "bruv" depending on how ghetto you are

They might ask you "why do you want to work for us", "how will you get to work" and "what sort of music do you like"

Oh and they might ask "do you have any questions?" at the close of the interview - have a question ready, like what sort of training do I get or suchlike - or just say, no that seems fine you seem to have covered everything.

They usually ask if you're good at keeping secrets and if you like pleasing your boss.

You boss will ask you to sign the official secrets act but when he takes you to his office all he has is a napkin smeared with ketchup with the words "**** me now" written on it in felt tip...

If it's for work experience, if you do really well, they might keep you on - part-time job = win

But good luck and as mentioned just be polite and friendly and you will be fine.
