Hey, I'm getting to the age where I wanna get a part time job, but I don't have any interview experience.
So I was wondering Do you have any tips or tricks you use in interviews?

And all the other typical shit... polite, friendly, be in time, know facts about the company etc.
Also using the SOFTEN-technique in conversations is a big helper. (Smile - Open posture - Forward leaning - Touch - Eye contact - Nod). Although i'd advise you not to touch the interviewer since you're not at the same level.
Have some questions you want to ask, nothing too exact, but do some research about the company and show it by asking questions about the product or what not, typical customers, typical day etc. They appreciate if you seem to be interested about it that much that you show some effot.
dont act arrogant tho, be nice
keep calm and don't be so nervous
Be as positive as you can. Smile 24/7. Show them some respect. Be calm and motivated. Overall just be yourself and don't take it too serious.
Asslicking isn't a bad idea either(not too much tho)!
On a serious note - prepare for tough questions like "what are your disadvantages". And never respond like with the real disadvantage, but turn one into advantage - like "I'm too precise, I always have to check a few times if it's ok or I pay too much attention on every detail"
