As a business owner, the idea of possibly taking the best candidate out of a talent pool simply because they didn't keep up during a walk is sickening...
I don't understand this. I have worked with recruiters around the world and this is not the first time that I have heard of something like this. As a business owner, the idea of possibly taking the best candidate out of a talent pool simply because they didn't keep up during a walk is sickening...it seems more like a narrow minded HR power trip. But I'm not in HR, so maybe there is something to that method???
I'm not trying to be an a**hole or anything...I think you provided some great advice.
wear a shirt
Are you somewhat invested in getting that job?
If your answer is no, I suggest trolling them a little.
"Where do you see your company in 5 years?"
"What do you think are the biggest aspirations of [company]?"
Turn it around and make THEM qualify themselves to you ;-)
It's already a national company and I just applied to be a cashier so that probably wouldn't work.
Interviews when your young is tough, but they are prob hiring for the xmas rush so dont worry too much.

I dont think they will ask you shitty questions like what are your strengths and weaknesses, but you never know so be prepared for it.
Everyone responds to the weakness question with "My biggest weakness is I work too hard" or "Im too much of a perfectionist" which is bullshit answers really. Maybe a good answer would be "I cant say no to people".
Shame you cant get a sales job, have you tried for any?
Also, I always took interviewees on a tour of the plant. I'd walk fast on purpose and if I had to slow down to accommodate them - my mind was made up - no hire.
