Best Answer:
I would start by doing a lot of research into the position: the activities and responsibilities, Dierbergs' history and customer service philosophy, attributes of other people who have been hired for similar positions, etc. All this information will give you a good basis for sounding well informed while answering and asking questions in the interview. Next, I would use lists of common interview questions to formulate intelligent responses that align with the grocery store's objectives and needs. Here's a sample list from Monster.com: http://content.office.monster.com/job-interview-practice/Prep-for-the-Top-10-Interview-Quest/home.aspx In order to feel confident and prepared, make sure to practice your responses -- and responses to any other possible interview topics you can think of -- with another person, preferably someone who has experience with interviewing and hiring employees. Make sure to ask them for advice on how to improve afterward.

I know I appreciate someone who is friendly, helpful, and seems to be enjoying their job. Concentrate on showing your potential employer that you know what they need and can do the job well! Best of luck with interview! -Kate MSFT Office Live Outreach Team
