I am going for an interview tomorrow at gala bingo, it's the second one I've ever had.
Does anyone have any tips they can offer me?

show ur boobs
depends what you're interviewing for, what you can do. i don't know anyone at a gala bingo so can't help.just tell them that you're great at shouting numbers.
also depends what kinda person is interviewing how you should and can behave around them, either casual or professional.

I had a mock interview thing last time and it was really awks because i almost broke my chair
but my interviewer told me not to say things I'm not (like I told her I wasn't very confident when she felt I was coming across as very confident)
so I suggest you just keep calm, be yourself and keep positive cos like they will definitely want someone with a personality and not some random professional person
also, don't forget to mention your hxhd role
good luck!

So just say all the positives and no negatives haha that's good.
That's really helpful thank you Tommy!
What do you think went wrong with the first one? That might help you think of ways to improve for this one.
Stay calm. Don't rush your answers. If they offer you water, TAKE IT. It's a great way to slow yourself down or think of an answer if you go blank.
STAR method is always good. Situation, Task, Action, Result. Start thinking of examples you've got around customer service (helping people), good with numbers + counting and whatever else gala bingo might want you to do - check the job description/person specification that you'll have seen when you applied (if it was done online) as that'll give you a good idea of what they're looking for.
Don't fidget and keep eye contact.
Smile
Relax
Take a deep breath
You'll be fine
Well my first one was 2 years ago and I got the job. So I guess it went well.What do you think went wrong with the first one? That might help you think of ways to improve for this one.

Thank you for your help!!
I've got the job in 3/4 interviews I've been to sooo here's what I did.
I'm not a confident person at all, even when it comes to being with friends I still hardly talk HOWEVER acting really confident and friendly with the interviewer makes such a difference - being able to generate conversation with them helps so much. Even if it's a fake confidence, they're not gonna find that out until after they hire you
Don't stress out over giving responses to every question immediately. Take a bit of time to think about how you want to reply to their question (obviously don't sit there for ages in silence, or dont take ages to answer straight forward ones such as what's your date of birth ). You're more likely to give better answers this way too.
Doing the simple things such as shaking their hand when they meet you, asking how are you in return to them asking you and smiling all make a huge impression on the interviewer. They're what sticks in their head when they are making their decision.
Show a genuine interest in the role by asking questions or reading notice boards while you're waiting.
Ooh yeah go with Mike on the STAR method, most companies have adopted that
I can't think of anything else
make a good first impression as they will make up their mind on you in the first minute or so. A good first impression and you almost have to lose the job, a bad first impression and you'll have to earn it. start with a good firm handshake, look them in the eye (not creepily lol) and be confident when you introduce yourself.
don't lie, a good interviewer can tell and WILL catch you out. you might get away with it but its not worth the risk imo
try to keep decent eye contact during the interview
take your time with answers. if you want to think about an answer, politely ask for 10 seconds to think. don't keep them waiting though and don't do this more than 1 or 2 times
just dont worry about it. if you dont get the job then think of it as interview practice for next time!
used to fix usertitles n stuff

Iirc, gala ask you things along the lines of
What do you expect to be doing while working here?
Are you confident in speaking in front of a big audience?
Any previous experience?
What do you know about the company?
There is also questions about bingo and how well you know / understand the game.
Also dealing with customers queries and complaints.
Thats mostly all i can remember im afraid the interview i had was about 7 years ago!
