What to wear. I was a human resources manager before I became a stay at home mommy, so I have interviewed MANY teenagers. Wear your dress pants and long sleeved shirt, if thats all you have. NO jeans, no capris, no tees of any kind. Hopefully the interview will be conducted inside in air conditioning. If need be, wear a tank top underneath while driving to the interview, and put the dress shirt on in the car if you want to be fresh and not too hot. Otherwise, try borrowing a short sleeved, button up and higher necked blouse from a friend or family member and wear with your dress pants. I have interviewed many people who were not dressed appropriately, and was very distracted by it. First impressions are everything.

Body language. Smiling will send good messages to the interviewer. Don"t smile too big or too much b/c that"s just plain cheesy & he or she will think you"re fake. Nodding a lot shows agreement & understanding. Sit up tall, feel on the ground, shoulders back and hands folded on the table in front of you. Make sure your clothes fit well & your hair is done nicely & out of your face. You don"t want to be making any adjustments or seem distracted by your own clothing/hair decisions.
