Don't be nervous, always remember they were in your shoes once before :D

Be on time, not ten minutes early, maybe five,  don't ever be late for the interview.\nDo not wear jewellery that is overwhelming, no facial piercings, no visible tatoos.\nBe pleasant, don't complain about your last job, the employees, or your former boss.\nTell them your strong points, don't go into too much detail, your resume will speak for itself.\nThese are a few things that I look for when I am interviewing a perspective employee.

You never know what an interviewer will ask.  Bad interviewers are as tough as good ones, because bad ones will not give you a chance to show off what you've got.\n\nThe main tactic in an interview is to do most of the talking.  You are there to brag about yourself and convince them that they need you.  Be honest.  If you don't know an answer, say "they did not teach us that, but I can learn about it if you need me to."\n\nIn my toughest interview, the man kept refuting my answers with research.  I stuck to my guns and gave my reasoning.  Later I found out that as soon as I left the room, he said, "he's the one."  I felt like a whipped dog, but I had actually impressed them.\n\nShow enthusiasm--firm handshake, smile, act excited about what you do.\n\nThe novice interviewer will start by saying "Tell me about yourself."  I love this one, because I take over and give a dissertation about how I work, my philosophies, my qualifications, etc.\n\nIf you get the interviewer who won't ask anything, you need to find a way to work in what you want to say.\n\nThe main thing--go in with notes to look at.  That is acceptable, and makes you look organized and professional.  Jot down the main points that you want to make.  Also, have a pen, and jot notes when they speak to you.\n\nOf course, dress professionally.  Practice a firm handshake with men.  Do not just put your hand out--push your hand forward so that they don't accidently grab your fingers.  Do not give them a limp handshake.  Look them in the eye.  Smile.  Do not wink or flirt.\n\nIf they are soft-spoken, speak softly with them (but firmly).  If they are louder, match them.\n\nHave a resume ready and offer it when you first meet.  Have another copy in front of you with your notes.\n\nDon't expect anything, because you can't know what to expect.  Just be prepared, and go in there and have fun.\n\nIf you don't get this one, the next time try to line up more than one interview.  It is less disappointing than doing one interview at a time, because you still have something in front of you.\n\nKnock 'em dead!

Make sure and tell things that are related to the position that you are hiring for. Have a story to go with the different qualities that you are stressing.  For instance, if you say that you have a lot of initiative share a story about a past position where you showed that quality.  Don't talk about your personal life--that is not what the interviewer wants to hear about at this stage.

The best way to prepare for an interview is to tell stories and share experiences.  Review and know the things that you have put on your resume or job application.  That is the starting point.  Now during your interview expand on the information that you have already provided to your potential new employer.  Provide examples of how you may have handled a problem with an co-worker, or resolved a business process within your department.  Find examples that started out negative but you turned into a positive.  Be specific during the interview on how you accomplished the positive.  Examples would be a negative customer(external/internal) that you helped turn into a positive.  A good thing would be to write all this down and then review your notes before going in for the interview.  Be as detailed as possible during the interview.  And one good question to ask before you wrap things up is, "What kind of individual are you looking for to fill this position?"  This question is hardly ever asked.  What it allows is for you to hit on any points that you may have missed while you were interviewing.  You make a mental checklist while they tell you who they are looking for.  This little bit of preparation will help you ace that interview.

I've interviewed many many people for jobs, so I can talk about what I'm looking for.\n\nFor your best quality, talk about things that are work-oriented. Some examples:\n   -you are good at working with people\n   -you are able to organize a group of people to work on projects\n   -you are able to focus on your projects and assignments. \n   -you have great attention to detail\n\nThe key is, you have to be believable. It's best if you have specific examples to back this up. If you tell me that you are a great people person but you seem really shy and can't put a sentence together, I might not believe you.\n\nThe greatest weakness question is trickier. You do want to put a positive spin on it, but you also don't want to sound like you're just trying to make yourself look good. I usually look for someone who has a clear awareness of their weakness and has a plan or goal of overcoming it. For example, if you are a shy person, say so, but talk about what you are doing to help overcome your shyness. I like to hear when a person is taking active steps to address their areas of weakness.\n\nFinally, if they ask you if you have any questions, ask questions that really show that you have done some research about the company and the position you're applying for. Ask specific questions about the work environment, the type of work you'd be doing, or what direction the company is heading. It's best to show that you know something about the company. And if you can't think of anything else, ask the interviewer what they like and dislike about working there.\n\nRemember, be comfortable and be yourself. I can usually tell when someone is faking it.\n\nGood luck!

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!

Actually it would look like you were prepared and set you apart from 90% of the other people they will interview that day. I interview a lot of people. The things many of them do wrong:\nThey don't bring a copy of their resume with them.\nThey don't dress up. (Jeans are NEVER acceptable for an interview)\nThey don't remove their hat (for guys)\nThey don't turn off their cell phones or worse they answer them during the interview!\nThey cannot answer simple questions about previous jobs or job experience.\nThey smell bad.\nThey say "um" or "you know" every other word.\nThey chew gum.\nThey trash their former employers.\nThey can't answer the question "Why should we hire you?"\nThey don't ask any questions about the job. (The best question to ask an interviewer is what THEY are looking for in the person that takes that position. Then point to specific experience you have either in work or life that makes YOU the best canidate.)\nThey don't look at you during the interview. Not making eye contact makes people think you are shady.\n\nHope this helps! Good luck!

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.

A few thoughts:\n\n1.  Dress like people dress who have the job already (or at least how the boss would have you dress).\n\n2.  Make sure your resume has everything on it that you hope the interviewer will write down in their notes.\n\n3.  Practice this interview with a friend.  Have them do at least one being a jerk, focusing on some area of weakness in your resume.  After that, any interview that Target does will be a piece of cake.\n\n4.  Building on #3, make sure you have good answers for question that you know they're gonna ask.  ESPECIALLY have good answers for problem areas -- a job that didn't work out so well, or lack of experience, etc.\n\n5.  Know that the person doing the hiring has two goals -- hire a good person as soon as possible, and hiring a person who will do the job who is NOT a head case.  You need to show them that you're ready to go, and NOT gonna be a PITA (Pain in the A&&).  They've already got enough PITAs.\n\n6.  For the LOVE OF GOD!  PLEASE remove nose rings, eyebrow rings, etc.  COVER UP those tatoos!  Do NOT show up with green hair!  REMOVE THE TONGUE PIERCING!  Comb your hair, have conservative makeup (if they notice it, then it's too much).  Brush your teeth, have a nice hair cut.  SHOWER!!!  I know that this should go w/o saying, but.... \n\nYou don't want to send the message to this person that you're a head case (see the previous point), and those things send really REALLY bad vibes.

Do research on the company you are applying for.\nDress appropriately and professionally.\nDon't use slang words, trendy words, or acronyms,when speaking to any one at the company, even the Secretary.\nDon't answer any interview questions spontaneously, take your time and think about what you are saying.\nDon't talk about your relationships, children, or personal beliefs.\nDon't fidget, chew gum, or look around the room nervously.  Speak to the interviewer and have good eye contact.\nAlways remember: never do or say any thing that you are ashamed of. People talk, there may be someone there that worked with you once, or had some other connection to you.

Call center jobs, customer service are very basic jobs, just be confident and look at interviewer in the eye, don't stutter or blink much, don't repeat your answer, don't be nervous and you should be all set. Good answers & personality is what matters here.
