Better to be over dressed than underdressed at an interview.

Look as smart as possible.

i was in an interview for a job in dunnes. I wore a suit. I was hired to work on the deli counter. The interview was very informal. The interviewer was a woman and was very flirtatious. Female managers in supermarkets are particularly bad for trying to use their sexuality in a mercenary kinda way I've observed. A lot of leaning over and pushing their tits up while wearing low-cut tops - that sort of crap. It was a good while ago and I don't remember the questions well. I was asked what I'd do if a customer became irate with me. I said I'd continue speaking to them in an adult reasonable manner. I was asked if I got on well with people. I shrugged and said yeah I thought so. I was asked why I was applying for the job (I had just graduated college with a decent degree) I said it was because I couldn't get a better job.
That said, these days it appears to be a lot harder to get jobs like that because of all the immigrants.

Ehh... guys its a non-management job in Tesco.

Wear in a shirt and jeans if you want, and tell them what they want to hear during the interview. Sorted. If you don't get the job, its not going to be because of not wearing a suit.

I worked for Tesco for a bit when I was 16. Wore jeans, runners with laces that had butterflies all over them and a shirt. I had zero fashion sense as a kid... Got the job straight away though. It's Tesco tbh. They aren't that fussy. They did object to my ear piercings though and at the time I only had 5. So no crazy hair or piercings and you'll be fine. You'll be wearing a uniform the whole time anyway so how you dress normally won't really make a difference.

well i had the interview. questions were stupid. at the end was asked what job i would like to do. told them i wouldn't work on the meat counter, then they justed me out. pay starts 9 an euro. less than what i'm getting now which is 11 an hour.

Just a worth of warning, I know slightly off topic. Don't work for Tesco in Donabate, heard some horror stories from some Polish staff who moved from TESCO to us last month.

/Me interested to hear what horror is involved? Currently in process of a transfer to that place - PM if what you'll tell me is libellous!

Can someone translate this into English? How depressing that this is the standard of written English you can expect from many Irish young people these days.
