Be Yourself

Restaurant Host/Hostess - (City withheld for privacy), Washington, United States

When you are in an interview, I know it can be a nerve wrecking time, but just take a deep breath and act like you are being interviewed by one of your friends. It will help you to relax a little and get through the interview smoothly. Just be yourself, the managers interviewing you were also the one's being interviewed once, so whether they act like it or not, they understand how you feel.
