Come now, this has nothing to do with Evo General, and if you need to ask random people on a car forum what to say, then my guess is you're not qualified. If you really are qualified, then be yourself and answer truthfully. Do not pretend and admit when you simply don't know something.

just be urself!! when they ask you a question, just answer it the simplest way possible, but not too simple, show them that you know what ur talking about, in a few works, if u know what im saying. Dress nice, and be polite.

Good luck!

also be sure to include how you could be an asset to the company, what ur strong points are, that ur a dedicated hard working team player willing to do what needs to be done to help the "team"/Company!
Good Luck!

oh, also they might ask you, Give me 3 reasons why I should hire you. Have those answers ready. I almost struggled at a job interview after that question, i got a BLANK and couldnt say anything, but they i ended up mentioning like 5 strong points of mine and the lady was impressed!! lmao

try going over how you think the interview would go in ur head... questions asked/ and the answers to them! They will definitely hit you with "why should we hire u", or something to that effect, so have that 1 ready 4 sure!

Okay, take notes my man.

First, be yourself, dont put up an act, becuz if they wont like the real YOU, they will find it out sooner or later. Dress nice, i dont mean suit, but a nice pair of jeans and a nice shirt or somthing. Have the answers to questions like, what are ur stong points? and what can u do for this company? And by god turn your cell phone on silent.
