    Last Minute Interview tips needed...

    Apart from going in there and just being myself, anyone got any tips for interviews that I may have forgotten?

    It's for an Ecommerce Dev position at Argos HO (oh good, discount for my flat!)

    Just need a bit of help...

    try have a laugh with the person/people interviewing you (obviously within reason)- when i had my Argos interview i was really chatty and tried to have a laugh with them, made me feel more comfortable being there so i could be myself properly. Try prepare you for any sort of qst's there gonna ask you, why you want the job, what you can bring the company that sort of thing.

    Good luck

    the discount is great too plus we used to get first picks on new/sale stock

    don't say anything negative ever. Even if they try and get it out of you, keep a positive line on everything.

    Try and build up a rapport but don't be too familiar...

    er.. yeah

    The usual stuff, be confident in yourself, research the company & job well, be friendly, have questions to ask them (2-3) and shine the back of your shoes!
