Tips Warehouse Interview questions and answers

Dress appropriately. Plan your outfit at least the night before and make sure it is clean/pressed.

Turn OFF your cell phone (a lot of people forget this one).

Bring copies of your resume and references for the interviewer as well as a pad of paper and a pen. Be polite and friendly to EVERYONE that you meet because the hiring manager may ask for their opinion.

Look the interviewer in the eyes. Speak clearly. Smile. Try to use "confident" body language.

Stay calm and try to remember that an interview is a 2 way discussion. You're trying to find out of an employer is going to be good for you, just like they are trying to find out if you will be good for them.

Prepare some answers for the typical questions like "tell me about yourself" "what are your greatest strengths/weaknesses" "where do you see yourself in x years" (you can search for interview questions and answers and see what more of the typical questions are as well as the best ways to answer them)

Try to include specific examples of your relevant skills, experience, and abilities in your answers. Remember you're selling yourself so you want to point out things that are relevant to the company.

Stay positive. Try to frame everything in a positive way, even if it is/was horrible. Never speak badly of other people or past positions/companies. There is always something polite to say.

If you find yourself flustered, its ok to ask for a moment to think about the question... it is, afterall, a discussion and discussions have pauses and silence in them.

DO YOUR RESEARCH! Look into the company, their vision, the duties of the job, and the typical pay for a similar position in your area.

Ask questions at the end. You should prepare 5-10 questions (I prepare 8 in case some get answered) based on the research you have done.

I think all interviews go down that road.
Just go in the interview with an air of confidence (but not to sure of your self) also have your answers mapped out so you do not sit their going errrrrr errrrrrrr i dunno e.t.c
they will expect you to hold some kind of conversation as at the cpw you would be dealing with the general public so if you are nervous try not to show it.
