Q1. Tell me about yourself and why you want to become a Cashier?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
“I am reliable, honest, trustworthy and hard-working and I am the type of person who enjoys working in customer-facing roles. I am also someone who is flexible and adaptable, and I can work the hours necessary. I will also be available to cover shifts at short notice, as and when the need arises. If you hire me as your cashier, I will learn the role quickly and you can also rely on me to carry out my duties with professionalism, diligence and accuracy. I understand that, for your business to be success, I will need to serve your customers with a friendly and welcoming manner, and also deal with any customer issues promptly and efficiently.”
Q2. Why do you want to work for us as a Cashier?
SUGGESTED ANSWER
“I’d like to work for you for three reasons. Firstly, the fact you are local to me is appealing, and this also means I will be able to cover quickly at short notice, if you need me to. Secondly, you are well thought of within the community, and this means I will get more job satisfaction from the role whilst serving your customers. Finally, I have used your store before and the products you sell are of a very high standard.
