graveexcitement

so my sister (who is 17) got a job recently, and the other day we & my mom were idly talking about it and mom asked me if i had thought about getting a job, and i was kinda lukewarm about it, especially since a lot of "first-job" jobs don't super appeal to me, like food service (pls no) or the grocery store chain my dad works at.

but i'm also like... i am running lower on savings than i'd like, and it's getting harder to justify buying merch and stuff, not to mention if i want to like... move out someday... i'd need a job, lol. so i went on indeed, looking for something i could be OK with, and right away i saw an ad for a part-time salesperson at a bookstore that not only wasn't Barnes & Noble, it also apparently specializes in manga/Japanese stuff? (not sure how much of its focus is on manga, as i've never been, which is a shame cause it looks cool :o)

and it's also located pretty close to a metro station as well as relatively close to campus (the campus i take the metro to on M/W, anyways), so i was like, what the hell, i'll apply

& while i was filling out the application, i was like welp, i have 0 references and only 1 past employer (from a few weeks in 2015), this probably won't get me anywhere... but they want to interview me!

...they want to interview me TOMORROW

i've never interviewed anywhere before, so any tips on interviews (specifically for a first-job/retail job) would be fantastic.
