It's only for subway. But I've never been to an interview before and I have no clue what to wear? Help please.

ALWAYS DRESS UP. My dad interviews people for a living and your attire should always be professional. That first impression is critical and your employer will remember the people who came in jeans and the people who came in a suit or dress. For my mcdonalds interview I wore a black and white dress with flats, and pinned my hair back so it was out of my face. Also, make sure you keep your makeup natural. Anything light or soft is fine, but I wouldn't walk in with like, a signature violet lip and gold eye shadow (unless, you know, it's a makeup oriented interview)

I agree with Maria. You don't have to come in like super duper fancy clothes, but make sure you look put together and feel confident in what you wear :)

I agree completely with Maria. My first interview (and job!) was with a day nursery, a profession which is generally regarded as very casual. To my interview, I wore black slim tapered trousers, ballet pumps and a chiffon cream blouse. I wore natural makeup and put my hair in a high, slick ponytail.

Make sure you look professional. A few interview tips I have is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS find out info about the place of work, if they ask you and you don't say anything, it'll look bad on you. Express interest and why you would be good for the job, even if it's something that's just for money. Never say that you're only doing it for the money. Say it'll give you valuable experience in _______ (I.e - customer service, handling produce, team work, etc). Always shake hands with the interviewer (s) on arrival and when you leave, even if they don't put their hand out first. Arrive 5-10 minutes early for your interview and bring any relevant documentation (such as a copy of your CV, even if they already have one) in a folder which is neatly organised. Good luck for your interview!!
