i went for a job in a shoe shop once and they asked me how i would handle the following situation: 1. You are in the shop by yourself and are serving a customer 2. Another customer enters the store 3. A delivery of stock arrives and you need to accept it 4. The phone is ringing They ask you what you qualities you can bring to the business, why you want to work there (and your best option is NOT to say because you need the money, go with some thing like, you love the brand).

Know the details of any store credit card/customer loyalty program cold. Managers want to see that you are interested enough in the store that you're familiar with it and also that you could sell/explain it to a customer. Be able to talk about customer service experience - even if all you have is a volunteer position at the library, spin it. Dress, look, and act the part. You need to be someone that customers can relate to, so show it (in a very professional manner). Make sure you stress your responsibility, especially if your resume is not very upfront about it. Even if you're not the best salesperson out there people will hire you if they're sure you'll show up to work. If you can demonstrate that you are mature, responsible, friendly, and relateable a manager will be willing to hire you even without experience. Training a sales associate isn't that difficult so while experience may be preferred it's certainly not necessary for those kinds of jobs. Also realize that with the economy the way it is, people are applying for associates positions when they are much more qualified for management, etc. It's quite possible that you'll get a job, but if you don't it may not be because you did something "wrong" - it's just a very, very competitive market right now.
