What they really want to know is how their work habits are, reliability, ability to take things on, etc.  Don't worry about a professional reference at all, they are not grading you, they just want your basic opinion on what to expect from this person as a student.

There is really no way to know what an interviewer will ask you-different companies want to know different things.One great  thing you have going for you is your degree! The best thing to do in any interview is to be as honest as possible and use your common sense. Also be prepared to have more than one interview with any given company-I've heard that some companies will interview you three or more times before a decision to hire you is made!! Just be as calm as possible during the process. Hope this helps and the very best of luck to you!!

It was a little scary at first, but I got into the swing of things pretty quickly. Your campus will probably have plenty of organizations to join, and that's a good way to meet people. You'll meet upperclassmen who can show you the ropes, and you'll meet other freshmen who'll probably be just as confused as you are. If you don't know something, don't be afraid to ask. Get to know your professors. It's a very fun and exciting time in your life. Enjoy it.

I guess I will lay out anything I know, from school and work experience or even from real life experience, then lay out what I am good at, ask your family and close friend why do they love you, what is good about you to them, ask your previous schoolmate and co-worker, employer, what it is like to work with you, after doing that you should be well prepare for any interview.  Remember, you must know about yourself before you can introduce yourself to the others.  The only, in job interview, don't go too personal, and don't complain about anything about your past experience.

Let's see...when I went to my interview, I wore dress pants, a button-up top, and cute heels. I would dress up a little, but not go overboard! There will be students who show up in jeans, which is clearly unprofessional and tacky! Over-dressing appears that you are desperate though! So, choose wisely!\n\nSome tips:\n1. Be thinking of questions that they are going to ask you...it helps when you don't have to think for two minutes to answer a question!\n2. Don't be nervous! They want to see your true personality! Make jokes(small ones)!\n3. look the person(s) in the eye!\n4. Come prepared! Know your experience, previous grades, volunteer work etc....it helps to review b/c when you are nervous, it is easier to forget!\n5. Lastly, smile!

Since you're only 15 I would just wear a nice pair of pants (not jeans..preferablly black pants) and kitten heels, a nice collared shirt or something professional looking.  Don't wear anything revealing, tight, low cut, etc.  Have your nails manicured (or at least trimmed to one lenght...do not wear bright colors).  Have your hair pulled back from your face in a bun or pony tail.  This will make it less easy to tug at your hair if you're nervous.  Normally for job interviews I suggest bringing a resume in a nice neat folder..but since this is your first job, you won't need to do that.  I would bring a list of 3 references (not family members.) typed.  Just remember to be yourself, smile politely, have proper grammer, do NOT chew gum and answer the questions they ask your honestly.  goodluck.

Something that will make you stand out among all the other applicants.  Something that will make them remember you.  If your educational goal has to do with something you experienced, discuss that.  Explain how it brought you to your decision to major in whatever.  Try to relate a personal story with your decision.  Don't forget to include why you want to go to that particular university.  This isn't a statement all about you - it's about you and why you want to go there.  Is their a particular program you are interested in - and why.  A particular instructor's research?  Why this university?  Tailor your statement to each particular university you are applying to.  \n\nMost importantly - don't forget proper grammar, sentence structure and spelling.  Have someone else review your final copy.  No errors!

College was...\n\nA much easier schedule than high school, with much harder work.\n\nA more in-depth social experience (while in the dorms, anyway).\n\nCollege is really what you make of it. Your professors most likely really love the subjects they teach, and if you show them an interest they will usually respond to you. I ended my undergrad career with a few professors I could consider friends. You should apply for at least a few clubs or groups, like the campus newspaper. This is more important than you think.\n\nI have little to say about Fraternies/Sororities, as I was not in one.\n\nHope that helps. It seems pretty big at first, but it's a life you fit yourself into pretty easily.

Dress as neatly as possible.  No need to look like you are attending a wedding or funeral (regrettably, a lot of people these days aren't aware these call for formal wear), but no jeans.  A suit is a good idea.  In the interview don't discuss how you and your homies hang out in the 'hood.  If music comes up, you adore some obscure classical composer, not gangsta rap.  Pick one who is obscure, though, so the interviewer won't catch you faking it:  "Oh, yes, Mozart did his best work in his fifties."  (Mozart died a month before his 37th birthday.)  Football over NASCAR.  Have an intelligent opinion ready for a question on some mildly controversial issue, some interviewers like to throw that out and see how you perform.  A major is sure to come up.  If you have one chosen, be prepared to explain why--something better than "Mommy picked it" or "I can help daddy's hardware store if I take accounting".

First, go to the principal(s) of your nearest schools, and ask if you can interview one of their special ed teachers. Bring your syllabus and/or assignment sheet, so that they know that yes, you are a college student, and so that they know what kind of interview you are asking for. If they approve and recommend someone, then you can ask them if they are willing to do it. It is usually better to ask the teacher for an appointment time. Although I doubt anyone will say "no," don't give up if that happens. Go to a different school and try again.

The only sure fire way to know how the interview went my friend, is if you get invited to come in again.  Don't worry about the time factor.  I would say it doesn't pertain in a majority of the cases; unless the job pays serious dough.\n\nActually, within the first minute, the interviewer determines whether he or she likes you. And in many cases, that can be a major factor in whether a person gets hired.  Heck, I had one of the bosses tell me if the female was cute, she had a good chance of getting the job.  At least he was honest about it, and he was happily married and didn't play around.\n\nThen he interviews you to see if you would be a good "fit", that means will you be a team player, and do you have the necesary experience and skills. \n\nWant some interview advice?  Brush up on your interview skills, get a friend to interview you and give feedback.  Be prepared for the questions! If you aren't prepared for the question, don't let them see you sweat!  That is exactly what they are looking for, how are you under pressure? There is a ton of information out there; and remember, this is a competition.  Sell yourself.\n\nGo get'em.

Be early upon arrival. Do some extensive research on the position that you are going to interview for. Be prepared to ask a few questions about what will be expected from you. Ask questions concerning training and continuation of education. Never say anything negative about a past employer or job experience. Also be prepared to answer situation based questions. For example: When have you received bad service and what did you do? These questions have replaced the questions of yesterday,because not only do they give insight into your personality,but also display your judgment and cognitive ability. Some of these questions have nothing to do with the job, or the position yet they are universal in determining a good employee. The night before buff up on simple algebra and grammar, and maybe take an on line typing speed test. Reason being is that if the interview goes well, often employers will ask you to take a skills test or an assessment right away. Finally, have a fresh copy of your resume or c.v. on nice paper, list of references, and past salary(always lie about this ,so you get more money) . G'luck

congrats on graduating!\n\ncollege is a big transition, especially if your school is far from home.  new place, new home, roommates, etc.  It's natural to be apprehensive, but don't let it inhibit you....I think you may later rejoice in college life and wonder how on earth you could have questioned it (this happens to me with big decisions/transitions).\n\nEnjoy college and life. Learn, explore, and grow!\n\nGood luck! I will be praying for you. :)

it depends on how nice your interview people are. i recently had mine, and there were about 15 kids in the room together, very laid back. they ask simple question like 'why do you think you shuld go on this trip?' and other questions like that, some from the sheet you have to fill out about your self. goodluck!

Have some one practice interview with you. You need to be comfortable talking about yourself. Also have question ready to ask them.
