Interview
Personality is a must, so make sure to smile. Remember to be polite and allow them to see for themselves how you interact with people. This gives them insight how you will be with customers.
A lot of companies that deal with the public are funny about tattoos and piercings. We suggest you cover or remove them until you are aware of their policies. A great time to ask about these is at the end of the interview.
If they inquire about your background, be honest. The interview will be the best opportunity for you to explain your situation and how you have grown.
