@Fish-McSticks What's the interview for? It's drastically different interviewing to work hard lines at Target and interviewing to do an engineering job.

@Fish-McSticks When asked 'What are your faults'.....You should NEVER answer 'I work too hard'. Don't do it. Instead, answer with a firm 'I enjoy the McRib sandwich'.
-
Don't suck.
-
@tophercrowder What if the interview is at Mcdonalds?
-
@ibRAD Then say you work too hard.
Either way, leave them wanting more.

You're allowed to bring materials, if you have a complicated or interesting resume/CV/experience you can bring in reference materials
You don't have to sit there the whole time looking at your own resume
-
@Fish-McSticks
Don't fuck up.Seriously though, have confidence in yourself and engage the interviewer.

@e90m3 Archer is the best show.

Tell them that you used to know how to fix the ice cream machine and that an extra 8 bucks an hour will help you remember.

I brought in a PCA that I designed and assembled to an interview. It was a very simple and basic part, but it proved that I had a certain level of ability with something they were able to hold in their hands.

@partypooper2012 If you're going to propose, at least take off your sunglasses.
-
@ibRAD Yep. Engage the significant other.

That's how I got my first role.

Pinch the largest person in the office. Assert dominance.

@Fish-McSticks
Good luck. Maintain eye contact. Don’t mention your criminal record. -
- Positive attitude and energy make wonders. Better than resume and references.
- don't sweat it. If this one doesn't pan out, there will be others. And you'll "perform" better if you're not stressed.
-
Wear clean underwear.
Aside from that, be prepared to answer questions such as:
"Why do you want this job? (Tip: The answer is something like, "I want to help the company grow and help myself grow along with it, be challenged, and look forward to rising to and conquering those challenges." You know, heartfelt, honest bullshit.)
"What do you consider your strengths?"
"What do you consider your weaknesses?"
"How can you be an asset for this company?"
Be honest, look them in the eye, and you'll be fine.

When I dropped my son off for his freshman year of college, I gave him this advice: "Have fun. Don't do anything stupid. And, if you do do something stupid, don't get caught."

The interviewer doesn't want to be the one in 6 months that gets crap from everyone that they hired the one that caused the HR issue, or the legal issue, or the corporate audit issue, or never got anything done. So your mission is to convince them with your responses that you are not that problem employee.
I assume this is somewhat of an entry level position. If so your responses should demonstrate that you are a quick learner, you can take direction from leadership, get along with and learn from your coworkers, and have great respect for anything dangerous or expensive that is associated with the job.
If you can provide that better than your competitors, you're in.
