I liked tabby's answer. Try to be confidant and make eye contact. Think before you answer and shake the interviewers hand with a nice firm steady handshake. Ask dad or mom to practice with you. Do not forget to ask about pay and raises. Outfit sounds great and good luck! here are some tips I Found : Begin by considering what interviewers want to know. You represent a risk to the employer. A hiring mistake is expensive in terms of lost productivity, wasted training money, and the cost of finding a replacement. To lessen the risk, interviewers try to select people who are highly motivated, understand what the job entails, and show that their background has prepared them for it. You show that you are highly motivated by learning about the company before the interview, by dressing appropriately, and by being well mannered--which means that you greet the interviewer by name, you do not chew gum or smoke, you listen attentively, and you thank the interviewer at the end of the session. You also show motivation by expressing interest in the job at the end of the interview. You show that you understand what the job entails and that you can perform it when you explain how your qualifications prepare you for specific duties as described in the company's job listing and when you ask intelligent questions about the nature of the work and the training provided new workers. One of the best ways to prepare for an interview is to have some practice sessions with a friend or two. Here is a list of some of the most commonly asked questions to get you started. * Why did you apply for this job? * What do you know about this job or company? * Why did you choose this career? * Why should I hire you? * What would you do if... (usually filled in with a work-related crisis)? * How would you describe yourself? * What would you like to tell me about yourself? * What are your major strengths? * What are your major weaknesses? * What type of work do you like to do best? * What are your interests outside work? * What type of work do you like to do least? * What accomplishment gave you the greatest satisfaction? * What was your worst mistake? * What would you change in your past life? * What courses did you like best or least in school? * What did you like best or least about your last job? * Why did you leave your last job? * Why were you fired? * How does your education or experience relate to this job? * What are your goals? * How do you plan to reach them? * What do you hope to be doing in 5 years? 10? * What salary do you expect? Many job hunting books available at libraries discuss ways to answer these questions. Essentially, your strategy should be to concentrate on the job and your ability to do it no matter what the question seems to be asking. If asked for a strength, mention something job related. If asked for a weakness, mention a job-related strength (you work too hard, you worry too much about details, you always have to see the big picture). If asked about a disability or a specific negative factor in your past--a criminal record, a failure in school, being fired--be prepared to stress what you learned from the experience, how you have overcome the shortcoming, and how you are now in a position to do a better job. So far, only the interviewer's questions have been discussed. But an interview will be a two-way conversation. You really do need to learn more about the position to find out if you want the job. Given how frustrating it is to look for a job, you do not want to take just any position only to learn after 2 weeks that you cannot stand the place and have to look for another job right away. Here are some questions for you to ask the interviewer. * What would a day on this job be like? * Whom would I report to? May I meet this person? * Would I supervise anyone? May I meet them? * How important is this job to the company? * What training programs are offered? * What advancement opportunities are offered? * Why did the last person leave this job? * What is that person doing now? * What is the greatest challenge of this position? * What plans does the company have with regard to...? (Mention some development of which you have read or heard) * Is the company growing? After you ask such questions, listen to the interviewer's answers and then, if at all possible, point to something in your education or experience related to it. You might notice that questions about salary and fringe benefits are not included in the above list. Your focus at a first interview should be the company and what you will do for it, not what it will pay you. The salary range will often be given in the ad or position announcement, and information on the usual fringe benefits will be available from the personnel department. Once you have been offered a position, you can negotiate the salary. The jobhunting guides available

Ahhh yes. The first job interview. I remember that day quite well. Although it was 30 years ago. First off I applaud you for going out to get a job. Especially since it sounds like you're still a student. Good for you! I'm a manager. Not in pizza though but building management. But as far as interviews go and what they are looking for, it's all the same. The questions they start to ask will be an indication of where the interview is going. The general ones will be if you have experience which of course you don't, however working in a pizza place is easy to learn. I worked in Pizza Hut during high school myself. Your age, what do you do in school things like that. They'll be general questions. It's them trying to get a feel of what kind of person you are. If they begin asking you about how many hours you're willing work, what shifts you can work so forth and so on, it's going on the right track. I realize that many people may be nervous coming in because they feel like they are being judged. And you will be. But if you're an honest, stand up person that intends on doing a good job for them it'll show. If you're so nervous you almost can't stand it, don't sweat it. Before you start interviewing, jokingly tell them you are nervous. It won't mean that much to them, but acknowledging it out loud will take a load off your shoulders.Your pick in clothes for the type job you're going in for is just fine as long as they're clean and neat. Oh, and drop the teen lingo for a minute to. That can turn off a prospective employer quicker than poop. If you don't get the job, don't let it get you down. Honestly, the more interviews you do the more confident you will get. But I have a feeling you will. Good luck. Email me tomorrow and let me know how it goes.
