I'm going in to try to get a job as a secretary. I think it's for a small place, so I hope it won't be too stressful of a job. Anyway, I want to be prepared but I also don't want to worry too much about it... But I am still nervous.
Does anyone have any advice? Things like, "describe yourself" or "why do you want to work here" throw me off a bit and I never know how to answer them the right way. I never know what sort of things to say about myself and I know you aren't supposed to say you want a job for the money, but that's really the only reason I am looking for one (well, and to get out of the house more). What are some other questions I should be prepared for?
Also, I don't really know what to wear... I don't really have very many nice clothes because I don't go out much and don't have a reason for them. But I don't really want to go in a t-shirt and jeans. And I don't know what I should do with my hair... Straighten it? Or put it up in a pony tail?
I hope I don't get stuck in a waiting room like I did for my last two interviews. Then I really will worry too much and then my hands will get all sweaty and I'll be really embarrassed to shake hands.
Oh, I just thought of another question I don't know how to answer: What do you think you can contribute to this job?
