I just wanted to wish you the very best of luck for your interview

No matter what - give it your best shot!

You may have to consider that you would need to go for a few interviews before securing a job to get into the "groove" of interviews. But hey - maybe you'll be lucky and they'll have something to offer you

Calling referees would be a standard starting point if you're shortlisted from the interview.

As for the retail store that went out of business, slim chance they'd find out either way if you worked there. I'm sure you're not the first person to fabricate on your resume because you're desperate for a job.

Just have a very clear idea what you would discuss with regards to what you did for your husband's company.

In terms of taking prescribed valium, they certainly don't need to know that - ever.

As for your past misdemeanours, I'm not sure what they are and I can't state anything from a legal perspective because I just don't know. But you're surely not the only person to seek employment after past offences.

Tell me about yourself.

Looking for changes in my career ... my husband's business is doing well ... I love what I do at his company but I'm missing being in the retail industry because I really enjoyed it .... Enjoy meeting and interacting with new people ...[I wouldn't really be making yourself out as desperate and needing to pay the bills hence rushing back into the work force]

How did you deal with a difficult customer in the past?

Listen to what the customer has to say ... Being aware of what the company's policies are with regards to redress and complaints so that problems are dealt with efficiently and effectively in a manner that makes all parties happy ... Being consistent ... Courteous ....

Why should we hire you?

I thrive in a working environment where I get to interact with others ... Enjoy customer service and seeing customers happy ... I pay attention to detail ...

What is your greatest weakness?

I like to please people .... This means that if somebody asks me to do something, I'll jump at the opportunity to help others out ... Even if it is not my responsibility to do so ...

What are you greatest strengths?

I am ambitious, hardworking and motivated towards getting something that I set out to achieve.
