Default Interview - 09-18-2003, 05:05 PM

Right. So I got myself an interview at Tim Hortons (Coffe place, for all you Amercians.) So I'm just wondering if you guys can give me some tips for this interview. Or if anyone has ever worked at Tim Hortons can tell me what they did at the interview to get hired. Thanks.

Don't worry about it dude.

Look nice when you go in. Don't go in wearing jeans and a T-Shirt. Wear something respectable. Dress pants and a nice shirt or something like that. You'll look a lot better than that other kids that show up with piercings in their nose and clothes that haven't been washed ever. Be confident. be able to tell them your good atributes like how you can be a team player and how your a leader etc. For Tim Hortons you don't need that stuff really, but they want to hire the best person, so think of examples of that sort of stuff before yougo in so if they ask you to describe yourself, you're ready to go.

Shake hands nice and firm, say sir/ma'am, be polite and things should go well.

Good luck.

Don't dress too nice. If you saw a guy in a suit interviewing for a garbage collector job you'd think he had no idea what the job was about. Dress for the job.

And American's know what a Tim Horton's is. We have them too. cool:

[quote="newt.":3a88e]rock:[/quote:3a88e] I know it's fun to play with the new emoticons - New things tend to amuse some people easilly.

But, the novelty's starting to wear thin, so can we please start using them properly?

Cheers, ears.

Hey, Vance.

Thought you said you'd had it with this place?

If you're back to post then good. Please do so. If you're back to spam, please don't. It's not clever.

Thanks.
