Hello everyone,
I recently applied for a commercial management assistant (retail) position, and now I have my interview coming up. To be honest, I have no idea how to fully prepare for it and I don't know where I should get better information to prepare. This position is very important to me, and I've wanted it for years. Thank you all for your sincere responses.

Loading...I have a telephone interview with the German Pension Insurance in the next few days as a social insurance clerk. What questions might come up and which ones should I be prepared for?
I have an interview tomorrow about prevention and rehabilitation and I don't know how to describe the two or give me a good example. I'm asking for help.
Hi, I have a job interview tomorrow at a pizzeria. The ad says I'll earn 2.5-3k. Will they ask how much I expect to be paid? What should I answer?
Hi I'm considering training as a precision mechanic. What kind of math will be covered in the training? How can I prepare for this now?
Hey, I recently had an interview for a student traineeship and was told that if I had any further questions, I should contact them via email or phone. I don't want to come across as disinterested, so it makes sense to ask something. What could I ask? My questions were already answered during the interview….
Today, every larger company has its own homepage, where you can inform you very well about what is important to the respective company. Check out what’s going on, look at other “tasks”, visit branches and get a personal impression. When Christmas activities run (spinning gathering for what-always), you notice. If you don’t like anything else, you can at least praise the social commitment of your hope employer.
There are usually also sites where Azubis reports about their way in the company. And it doesn’t mean that when you visit a branch, you can talk to a young person who probably is training there. Or an older one who works “normal”.
Elaborately learned information (company formation, alphabetically sorted CEO since 1964, number of employees or the like) are much less in demand today than superordinate things, the image that the company builds up by itself, values, etc.
Of course, you must also be prepared for questions about your person: Why this job? In this company? How do you imagine a working day? Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Avoid analglatte and “perfect” answers – no person believes you when you throw around you with pre-formulated phrases. Be honest: you like being among people, are contactful and helpful, you know how important each work area is. That’s why you don’t want to study and get up, but learn from the Pieke on everything, clean up shelves, store, goods acceptance, sales, customer talks, cash, decoration, etc. (seller/ retail buyer) and then take the next step and deal with administration, organization, etc.
You like to buy in the company, it enjoys a good reputation in your family/environs, you like the offer, the atmosphere in the shop, you want to take advantage of the opportunities offered (you can also googlen!!!), develop yourself internally and work up, etc.
If you have any experience, get out. Internships and minijobs also count! Reports of what you liked, what gave you to think, what special situations you have experienced. A good told little story is worth as an endless list without personal reference.
And don’t go crazy – in retail, the chances are pretty good to be accepted.
Good luck!
Thank you very much:)
