the job centre are sending me to do some work experience at a toy shop, I really want to do it because I have very little work experience. but I have to have a interview first, and I am really scared because I have no idea how to answer the questions they will ask
I only have 8 month experience in a charity shop. my interview is today
has anyone else done this ?
will it be like a interview for a normal job ?
what questions are they likely to ask?

Have you ever worked as a team ?
What are your best strengths ?
What hours can you do ? Or how flexible are you ?
Do you have any commitments out of work or dependants meaning you can't do certain shifts ?
I've not done it myself but these are some questions I've been asked in interviews.
Good luck.
I take it you have some questions you can ask ?0 -
I second the questions above me
there is also the chance they'll ask about previous experience, what sort of responsibilities they gave you at your old placement. good luck!
