Local Auto Repair Garages
Comments (0) How should I get ready for my interview.?
I’m going in for an interview tomorrow at a local garage. They do tires, brakes, oil changes, and other basic repairs. How should I get ready for this interview? What should I expect from the manager? I am a senior in high school, and am a full time vocational auto repair student.
Should I bring a resume? What should I wear to the interview? What questions should I ask? Your input will be greatly appreciated…. thanks.
Congratulations! You have an interview. First impressions are VERY important. Check your nails since you work on cars…they should be clean and look nice. Decide today what to wear….since you are interviewing at a local garage, you may consider wearing Docker style slacks and a clean, neat polo shirt. You absolutely need to know something about the company and use that info during your interview. He will be really impressed! You need to sell the skills you have apart from your auto repair skills…tell him (if you are) dependable; have a good work ethic, etc. Demonstrate in your voice and body language enthusiasm and energy…don’t let fear hide those traits from the interviewer. Refrain from asking about time off, and pay right away. The interviewer will most likely lead the way with wage info. Do not bad-mouth a former employer…they just might be related. Take the positive road on anything…even if you had prior negative work experiences, don’t go there. Be prepared to answer what your strength is and also what is your weakness….turn your weakness into a positive…such as…if procrastination is a weakness…state it and then you tell how you overcome it..by making a list of priorities, crossing them off, so you know exactly what needs to be done, etc. As you leave the interview, hold your head high and proud…they are always watching. In fact, they start watching you as you get out of your vehicle. If you smoke….don’t do it before your interview…it can turn off the interviewer big time…no gum…no profanity (yes, believe it or not, it happens), remove piercings (all visible ones) cover tatoos, … and keep good…good eye contact. They need to see you are confident and eager…..don’t be afraid to ask for the job. Provide the interviewer with a resume….it will remind him of all of your skills and experiences. While job searching, change the message on your phone…no music….it will only irritate the prospective employer. They most likely will not wait for your tune to play to leave a message. You may want to keep in mind that you are an ambassador for your school program. The impression you make will create an impression of your vocational program. Good luck!!!! Hope you get the job you want!
