• Answer:

  I think you are over thinking things...if you "demo" a product, they are probably looking for how you interact with the customer, your ability to answer questions, knowledge of the product, and that sort of thing. Honestly, if anyone gave me a hand massage, not only would I be weirded out, but my wife probably wouldn't like some strange woman massage her husband's hands. Don't stress about this, this is a part time job, this isn't your career, if you are getting a Master's, you have tackled much tougher obstacles...just use common sense, then customer service should come easy...if a customer asks you about a product, take them to it, ask them what's the occassion, show them baskets, different scents, etc. Basically, if I come in looking for a candle, it'd be nice if I'm greeted promptly, asked "Can I help you?" and if I have a question (like "Where are those things you light with fire and smell good?") the sales person can direct me to the part of the store it is in, and show me what options are available. If you don't know something, don't freak out, just tell the customer "I'm not sure, but let me check with my manager." Personally, I hate group interviews, but just be ready to "sell" yourself. Prepare a brief 2 minute speech on your strengths and why they should hire you (I have a strong work ethic, great ability to adapt, excellent time management skills, etc). But also be ready for questions regarding performance and certain scenarios (Ex. What do you do if you have an angry customer, etc). You'll do fine, don't sweat it, this aint a Masters!
