You will most likely be asked some factual questions, along with some opinionated questions about how you see yourself. Such as…how long were with your previous/current employer, and why did/do you want to leave them?
What do you consider a personal strength, and how can it benefit us? Describe a time that your integritywas put to the test…you had to make a judgement call on something…did you do the right thing when it may have made you feel unpopular or doing something against the grain?
Be prepared for questions like this.

To Someone (who applied for a job) and scored an interview. First, pat yourself on the back. You were chosen to be interviewed and are one step closer to employment…Congrats !!!
Bring a letter of recommendation from someone who is respected and a good person in the community. Also take a deep breath and try not to act too nervous. Even the interviewer is nervous, remember that. Make sure you are dressed neatly, that you are neat and clean looking, and that your shoes are clean and neat.
Here’s a little secret that might work. Look at the color of the uniforms or t-shirts that the Toys R Us workers wear and wear a shirt of a similar color…this is like psychology. The interviewer sees YOU as an employee.
The first question is how are you doing? That means what can you do for me. The answer is, “I am excited about this opportunity and glad to meet you, “their name” shake hands if offered….. They want you to tell them why they should hire you, so all your answers should be directed toward that. They may ask why you want to work at Toys R US? I am up-to-date on the new electronic toys/devises and can answer the public’s questions. I know what toys are age appropriate. Personal experience about toys, but they don’t want to worry about you playing with the toys all day. How do you describe yourself in three words? These are three positive words about you. ASK for the job if you really want it. Anyway, depending on if they want you to start working right away, be available. Day, Night, as much as possible.
It is hard to ask about salary…you need to know, but it’s not what you should ask. Talk to others that work there, rather than ask during the interview. Good Luck.
