• Answer:

  An interview will usually cover your past, present and future. They may not phrase questions in exactly the same way, but those are the best questions to prepare for. Walk me through your resume: Talk about your past experience and highlight points relevant to the job you're applying for. Why do you want to work here? Talk about why you're interested in the job and how your past experience has prepared you for it. Discuss what experiences you hope to get out of the job. For a cashier position, you might say it will help you gain customer service experience and help you work with people. Where do you see yourself in 5 years: Talk about what you want to do with your career and how the current position will help you achieve that. You probably won't have a difficult time with this interview, but it would be worth practicing for it. Find a partner to practice some of these questions with, or look some practice questions online. Here's one site with some practice questions. Not all questions will be relevant, but it's good to practice. http://www.financeocean.org/practice_interview
