Hey folks, so Costco reached out to me and wants to hire me part time. I've never done a real interview, so does anyone have any advice?

Sure. Talk about how great you are and stroke your hair as much as possible.

Asking the unemployed here at OTF is not a good place for advice

I was hoping the handful of employed folks would come out of hiding

I'm only a volunteer mod but good luck. Be yourself. Smile. Brush your teeth. Sit up.

Honestly it just boils down to how you present yourself. I can’t really tell you anything you wouldn’t find out from a google search.

There are even AI bots to practice job interviews with. You've mentioned you do marketing related work... so this is a backoffice job?

Oh wait that’s kind of sick. I wonder how it would respond if I asked it a ridiculous question and convinced it I was serious.

you could RP a job interview on OTF (there's probably even a topic created already)... but I think you'll get better results RPing with an AI bot.

Bros been stalking me 😭🙏 but no, it's more of a customer service and stocking position. I'm not great with people, but it's later at night so hopefully it's nice and peaceful

Don't admit to not being good with people... let the interviewer decide what you're not good at. You job is to tell the interviewer why you're Awesome (tm).

If you were an animal at the zoo, what would it be and why? (this is actually a common general question, lol"

Some people may try to ask whay your flaws are... and this can be phrased in different ways.

employers want to hear you work well with others. you're a team player. sometimes they want to hear how you handle conflict with others.
