One person said when was the last time you were Angry. I said I can't remember but I do get frustrated sometimes so I try to take a different approach to the same job to solve the problem I'm having. Most employers have specific questions to exclude people and then there are a few left for 1 or 2 jobs. Find out what questions those are. I was speaking in general about a place I interviewed at. The guy listened and asked if I would like a job in something I mentioned that they do on a daily basis. I said yes and he said they were not hiring for that job now. Hahahahaha Thought I was showing my interest in their company.

A lot depends on the type of job and the type of interviewer. Whether you are working for a corporation or a small business owner.
Questions would doubtless be about how you would resolve certain situations. Whether you have trouble working with people or maybe any issues that you've had in previous work situations. Basics like whether you drink or do drugs. Why you think you are qualified. You never know. I've had job interviews that lasted less than a minute, and then I've had one where I was hired over the phone. You never know. Just be as confident as you can, and answer respectfully and honestly.

would you want to hire yourself and why? For me I'm just honest through the whole interview that's all you really can do.

idk what the job is actually, its just a general "jobs for teens" thing. so i guess they assign you a job after your interview?

If it's one of those that sells catalogs door to door, then run away. Most of those are scam types./
