Just be cool. You'll be nervous but just listen to what they tell you and you'll be fine. The rest will come with time

Make sure to dress nicely. Not like a full blown suit or anything, but something professional, perhaps a bit laid back, but only slightly .

Don't make the face of your avatar. ;)

LMAO. :)

Sersiously tho', be prepared for questions like "what are your goals?", "what's your greatest weakness?"- for that one be honest, but put it in a positive spin on it. "I get too focused on the task at hand", for example.

Do some research on the company, and have some questions prepared yourself. They want to know you've done your homework.

And do a Google search for interview tips. There's heaps of good information online.

Be on time it is better to be early then late it shows your commitment.

Once you get hired (sounds like its expected you will) don't forget to ask when/how/where you get paid. You'd be amazed how many businesses, especially small ones, like to 'mistakenly' categorize new employees as volunteers so that when they conveniently forget to pay them, there's less legal ramifications ;)

BTW whats the job if you don't mind me asking? Maybe I'll create a thread for peoples first jobs........*mumbles off into the sunset*

not sure, i think my hands will do most of the lifting.

[Nias Wolf]

Well, this thread surved its purpose, now to get back to the problem on hand.

I do not wish to be pet (except for that one spot behind the ears, damn that feels good). I will bite the hand that fe... er... pets.

snEEkie I'm excited for you :) It's a lot of fun working that first job, and UPS isn't a deadend job either. You could really make a name for yourself in a place like that, opening lots of doors for the future

Who hear sees snEEkie president of UPS international operations in 20 years?
Whatever top position isn't chained to a desk my good man. You're a mover and a shaker, not a deskman :)
