Some Very Plain Interview Tips For Every Teenage Job Seeker

By Tom Addison


Sixteen can be a magical age for most children. They starting to date, drive and gaining more overall responsibility. They also start thinking about getting a job. They often have little experience, and limited availability to actually work. This is when they need good interview tips the most.

Few people get it right the very first time. Finding a job is a very big step and good start down the long path to adulthood. Always be positive even when things do not go well for the first interview. There are always some small things you can try to increase the likelihood of getting that first job.

A first impression is a one time thing. You only get one opportunity ever to make it. Always try to smile and be courteous. Honesty works, most people will see right through a disingenuous applicant. Treat your perspective employer with proper respect. This will go a very long way to making a positive first impression.

Always remain calm. Even if you are nervous, give the outward appearance of tranquility. The very first five minutes of most interviews are the most important. After making it through these 5 minutes the rest is simple. Always try to smile, and remember the worse they can say is no.

Most teenagers fall into the trap of being too relaxed. A little bit is alright, to much is not so good. Avoid slang of all types. That is unprofessional and gives the impression of disinterest. Keep your thoughts clear and only use words you understand. Nothing is worse than appearing silly at an interview.

Enthusiasm is always a huge asset. Not surprisingly enthusiastic people are often difficult to find. These are the people everyone always desires to hire. For all these interview tips use some common sense. Employers will generally make an allowance for somebody that is truly enthusiastic about employment with their company.
