Question: Hi there, I have managed to get a job interview at Subway next week! How can I prepare well for it? If you have already been interviewed for Subway or any other retail chains, can you please tell me what questions you were asked? Also, what do I need to bring to the interview? What do I need to know? Please help me get the job!

Answer: For any interview, you will always have the same basic questions such as:

1. Why do you want to work with us?

2. What is your biggest strength?

3. What is your biggest weakness?

4. How do you deal with conflict? Can you give examples?(from home, work, school, etc.)

5. What do you know about the company?

During the interview, it is important that you explain to them why they should choose you (what makes the difference between you and other candidates? What makes you unique? How can you help them be successful?)

You should carry your resume, a personal identity proof, a pen and notepad.

They will ask you if you have any questions, including any doubts you have on salary and any other benefits you will get as employee. Ask about potential for growth. What are the performance parameters to measure your job performance?

They will also ask if you have any questions for them. This is a good time to ask some basic questions about them as you will want to make sure that you want to work there as well.

The interview process is a two-way communication. Although this may be your first job, you want to make sure that the job is right for you.

Here is a list of the top ten questions asked at any job interview and suggestions on how to answer them: http://content.office.monster.com/job-interview-practice/Prep-for-the-Top-10-Interview-Quest/home.aspx
