Job Interview Help...Hi, i have a job interview at homebase in a few weeks time, it's my first ever propper interview. I'm really nervous, but really want to get the job!
Firstly, what should i wear? I don't want to look too casual, but on the other hand i don't want to look too smart and over dressed.
Also, what kind of questions should i expect to be asked?
And, if anyone who has ever worked there before or know of anyone who has could give me any advice or tips for the interview or just the job in general, i would be very grateful....
Thanks!

They will definetly ask you, why do you want to work here. Just be honest with all your answers. -

You can never look too formal... Well I guess you can, but wouldn't you rather them see you as a smart, clean and collected prospective employee, or the person who clearly is just in it for the money (even if you are). First impressions really do count and it could mean the difference between getting a job or not.

Try not to think about what questions they are going to ask you and what you think they want to hear too much as you may come across as a little 'rigid'. Just be yourself, be honest and hopefully they'll like you for you!
And good luck
