Re: nursery interview tomarrow

Stay cool. Listen carefully. Respond directly. Make and keep eye contact. Don't ask important questions until the interviewer says "Any questions?" Then say, "When do I start?" It usually works.

little concerned about the weight lifting, but maybe it would get me in
shape! Also, I'm not sure I could get by on what a nursery laborer is paid.

I'd been working at my last job since before I began gardening, so working
at my hobby was never an option. But, yes, I think that could alter my
views. But I guess it is worth a shot.

switching positons eh? although that is none of my business, good for
you! Nice to have a job you will enjoy :) I have avoided ever making my
hobby my job, felt I would loose the hobby appeal after that...


I would base it on what others employed there are wearing, and step it
up a tad. Thinking it would also make a difference if the position you
are applying for is going to be with the public or just buried in a
greenhouse.

Hi Friends,



I have an interview Friday for general nursery work. Previous job

interviews have always been for professional jobs so, of course, I wore
a

suit. What would I wear for this nursery interview? A suit seems way

overdressed and suggestive of the possibilty that I wouldn't last in a

labor-type job. But I don't want to dress down too much, giving the

impression that I don't think the job is important. Maybe I'm
over-thinking

this, but suggestions would be appreciated.



Kitty

I've CC'd a couple of you that might not read everyday to be sure you
get

this. I apologize for the duplication.
