Hey guys and girls.

Recently i applied for 2 jobs at my local VW garage and got a letter through yesterday asking me to attend an interview. The job is situated in the parts department!

I've been looking for a new job for some time now and feel this would suit me to the ground, however i'm a little nervous and could do with some words of advice and wisdom. I'm only young so any advice is welcome!!!!

So basically, what do you guys suggest i find out before my interview and preparation should i do?

Thanks.

P.S edited to add which job i'm being interviewed for!

EDITED ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

well done mate, u need to find out what discount you would get when uncle metz drives over

sorry i don't have any good advice for ya but i will offer you some good luck when you attend the interview.

my best advice is to act like it's the job you wanted to do since you were a kid, seems to work for me, and both havn't been what i wanna do

Maybe a good idea to throw in your interest in VW's..... And your background with owning the GTi possibly......... Can't think of anything that hasn't been mentioned above.


Best of luck & we'll keep our fingers crossed for a fellow Chapeltown-er


Cheers

Dave.

Be a c**t VW seem to like that

Nah, best thing in an interview is to just be yourself really and try not to be too nervous (easier said that done I know)

i have actually worked in a vw parts department for 2 weeks (work experience) and if u say ur methodical and tidy then that will help with a good understanding of how to sort deliveries etc!! (u will get training)

good luck with the interview!!

was watching a really weird programme on tv the other nite at about 3:00 am and it was about how to get job and act in interviews.
(cant get to sleep for money nor love these days)

Some advice was to copy the interviewers body language !

weird i know, im not saying do it by the way.

Well i had my interview this afternoon and things seemed to go alright. Will find out in a week if i've progressed to the next stage of interviews or not!

Cheers for your advice guys. Lets hope your comments helped.

Will let ya know when i find out!

Thanks once again! Mat

ah nice one mat, abit late for giving you luck! woops lol.

well good luck if you get through to the next stage

well done mate i've got my second interview at VW Franchise near me on Thursday, would be in Optional Extras and Accessories plus abit of Repping, get to play around with all the lovely extra toys people want. Hopefully can bag job on Thursday have to see the parts manager as i'd fall under him as apposed to general manager who i saw before an interview is at 4pm so shouldnt be too long...fingers crossed.
