    Hi Liam,
    Black pants,shoes,shirt and tie.
    Good handshake and eye contact.
    Confident.
    They will ask you to tell them about yourself.By this they want to know your education and any work experience.Talk freely without pause on this for a couple of minutes minimum. Don't give short answers to any question,they want detailed answers.
    You said its your first job but they will ask you if you have any examples of how you worked as part of a team or how you would deal with an awkward customer.
    You can work as part of a team on a school project,community project, even the likes of coaching a sports team or volunteer work.
    In the end of the day they want somebody who is competent,will turn up for work and in their eyes is looking for a long term job.Flexibility in working hours also very important.
    If you had a high attendance record at school tell them this also.
    At the end of the interview thank all the interviewers,they will be looking for an impression here similar to how you would finish dealing with a customer in their shop.

    make sure you have some sample questions and answers worked out.

    Typical questiones are types of projects or team enviornments you have worked in, times you had to work on your own initiave

    Have some questions you want to ask to show interest in the company, but also do your own background checks to have information yourself
