Interview at Subway...help me get the job!

Khaki pants and a nice blouse would be fine. No jeans, flip flops, t-shirt, etc.

Be friendly, confident and don't over-think your answers.

Remember...lots of people want the job, they want someone who stands out as hard-working, reliable and intelligent.

Make sure your hair and nails are super clean and tie back long hair, dress as you would when working there (not high heels), smile, say you work hard and are available ....

Good luck

I worked for Subway for nine years as a night shift supervisor and as the manager of my store. I was constantly interviewing people for shifts because the turnover rate is so high in the restaurant industry. The most important thing is to make sure the shifts will work out with your schedule and be honest about your availability. The most irritating part of being a manager was hiring people who acted like they'd be available for shifts and would call in last-minute.

If you have food service experience, mention it and say in detail what you did. Mention if you have experience running a cash register or POS (point of sale) system. Mention any customer service experience you've had. Mention if you've done well at any of your math classes and emphasize you are good at money-handling, and try to present yourself as an honest person who will be responsible with the till.

When we hire people, we really want the employees to be able to handle supervisor responsibilities in case someone doesn't show up, which is the greatest worry when you put someone on the schedule. They may seem sincere in wanting the job and then completely stand you up.

Store managers get paid salary and are responsible for the entire store. Oftentimes, our bonuses rely on whether or not food cost, productivity, and store reviews come out well, so we really have to make sure we're on top of our game and everyone else is, too. The more you can show yourself to be genuinely interested in having the job, that you're honest and forthright, and that you will be reliable, the better chances you'll have.

You should dress decently buy not over-done. Not too many accessories and be prepared to tie your hair back. A lot of times when I brought someone in for an interview, I would put them on the line and see how they reacted to customers, and I would have them do about an hour or two of 'test run' training to see where they stood and what we would need to work on.

Don't be shy, be vocal - if a customer approaches, greet them with a smile and say, "Hi, what can I get for you today?"

If you have questions, never be afraid to ask. It's always better to take the time to ask than to frustrate a customer and have to re-do an order, especially if you have a line of customers waiting to be served. If you do get hired, work on your efficiency on the line and your speed, so you keep everything flowing smoothly. Always re-fill containers when you have a free minute, and use the FIFO method - First in, First out. That means if you have a cambro (pan) full of new ingredients, place the old ingredients on top so they are used first, and clean out the old pan. It's essential to rotate the pans to keep your line from looking disgusting.

And for God's sake, make sure you wrap the sandwiches tightly without the ends hanging out of the paper, but don't crush them in the process.

... all these tips should help. Good luck :P

Just be yourself. Act normal. Be confident and cheerful. That's all they want.

Good luck.
