ask about the training they provide for staff. Tell them you take professional development very seriously and that you like to keep learning - especially from those around you. this shows them that you want to continuously improve.





Research - make sure you know about the company. Visit their website - see what the company goals are etc

or just google search interview questions %26amp; tips
Here's a great article on what you should do during your interview:

Keep articulation, body language, eye contact and confidence in mind. Try not to be overbearing, but at the same time be assertive. As for body language- don't close yourself off (e.g. cross your arms). That will lose the interpersonal relations in the interview and make the interviewer feel uncomfortable. Keep steady eye contact, and articulate your words properly. Dont' slurr sentences; keep in mind that the interviewer must understand you to appreciate your answers fully.





Lastly, always have one or two questions to ask them. Preferably, ask oportunity-oriented questions. For example, ';what are your prerequisites for the resteraunt manager?'; or ';what do you look for in a worker?'; This is your chance to take control of the interview, displaying your interest and speculative dedication. Keep that in mind.





Good luck.
Make sure you know all about the company before the interview and ask them a question about the company, which makes you seem both interested in the business and a cleverer person who is thus better for the job. One such question is


';I wanted to know how my role in the business would relate to you current plans for expansion into the international market';





(Don't actually ask this though, think of your own question like it that is actually related to the company)
