    Hi! Just got a call for an interview tomorrow morning.
    I've never had an interview before aside from a little meitheal leader one in school.
    The job is for a factory worker in an industrial laundrette.
    I'm 17 and pretty sure they're looking for students as four of my student cousins work or worked there during the summer.
    I've got one thing going for me in that my mam actually works there but she's relatively new - 3 months ish.

    So can anyone give me advice and tips etc?
    When I walk in I assume I'll shake their hand and sit down.
    What should I prepare??
    Should I bring a CV with me? (My careers teacher told me to do that..) and if yes 2? Ie one for me one for her?
    Any other obvious tips(I'm pretty oblivious) and even the layout/process would be helpful!!
    Thank you!

    I would say... confidence is the key. try not to shake your head for every yes or no when answer a question and prepare yourself for general interview questions from the link below?

    Best of Luck!!!

    Absolutely bring a CV. In practice, it's not going to be that relevant this time round, but it shows you're taking things seriously. Just one should be fine.

    Take an interest, and if you can think of a question that makes a difference to your day-to-day work if you get a job, ask it. If you think a question might be irrelevant, it is and don't ask it.

    Don't ask questions about pay or working hours until you've been offered the job.
