How should a prepare for a first job interview?

Make an effort to find out everything about the company before you go. How many employees? Are they publicly traded? Who is the CEO?
Where clothing appropriate for the job you are interviewing. If you do not have the proper attire, beg, borrow or go to Goodwill. If the job is corporate, cover up any visible tattoos, and if your hair is purple, green, blue or any other color that is not a standard natural color, change it to one that is. (Unless you are interviewing for jobs where those things are perfectly acceptable.

At some point in the interview, ask why this position is available? If interviewer asks about your future family (which is not legal), have an answer ready such as "I've not yet decided on that issue as yet. Do not say that is an illegal question. However, if the interviewer asks questions of that nature, you probably don't want to work for them.

Research the average salary for the position in which you are applying so if asked, you can give a number that is neither too high nor too low.
Make eye contact, and most importantly, SHUT OFF YOUR CELLPHONE DURING THE INTERVIEW.

Before Your First Job Interview

Research the Company. Take some time to research the company so you are familiar with how they operate. There is a lot of company information available online.

Learn About the Job. Learn about the job you are looking to get. Ask yourself, "Why am I the best person for the job?" Do you know someone else who works at the company? Ask them about the job, the interview process, and the company.

Practice Interviewing. Review typical teen interview questions and answers and practice your responses before you go. Ask a family member or friend to ask you some questions, so you can practice your answers.

Dress Appropriately. Choose simple and appropriate attire for the position you are interviewing for. If you're not sure what to wear ask an adult family member, teacher, or guidance counselor. Take a look at what you shouldn't wear to a first job interview, as well.

Write a Resume. A resume will make a good impression on the interviewer. Bring a copy of your resume, if you have one, and a pen and paper ready to take along for notes. Here's how to write your first resume.
