okay i know it's "only" a clothes shop but what do you get asked in places like this? never worked in a fashion store before. i hate interviews

Wouldn't say it will be anything too detailed - they'll probably ask you how you would deal with an angry customer or something like that (listen to them patiently and explain things to them in a quiet voice and logical manner!) They'll probably just want to see that you're a normal individual! good look anyhow

Dress fashionably, yet smartly. Do your hair and make-up. I went into ask for an application form at a clothes shop and was told the position had been changed from part to full time. The "Part time staff needed. Apply within" was still up a few days later. I think I got turned away because I hadn't worn make up other than eyeliner and was just wearing a hoodie and jeans.

In reality, they most likely just forgot to take the sign down, it does happen...

Bastards. I am sure you were lovely.

As a general rule, you should dress for the job, for somewhere like no name, I'd say dress stylish as if you were going out on a Saturday night or else in a suit. If you were the suit be careful not to overdress.

Underdressing is the worst thign you could do, I've seen people do turn up for interviews as a sales rep, wearing jeans & a t-shirt- it says I don't give a $hit about your job.
