[HELP ASAP] Getting First Job (need tips)

[WYNOS]

UPDATE: Job Interview Complete
Here are questions I was asked and what I responded, let me know if I responded correctly.
Favorite subject in school?
Used to be math when it was in the middle where it wasn't too easy or too hard, but now it's science because I've been pulled towards technology and computers and stuff.
What's your GPA?
(Then responded with my GPA, nothing special)
How are you getting transportation?
Parents take me home from school, instead they can take me to work when they go to work as well.
Would anything get in the way of working for you in the next few months?
No, there's nothing to do in other cities that isn't offered here in (my city), and relatives live pretty far so visits would be once in every few years.
If you were in the situation where you don't like a co-worker that you have to work with, what would you do?
I'd talk it out with them, ask them about why they don't like me or my ways, and try to resolve our issues, because sometimes first impressions can be bad, and it's best to clear things up.
So if they still hated you after talking, what would you do then if it affected your working?
I would speak to a manager or a boss about what's going on and that I think it would be best to separate us for both of our jobs sake.

All the questions I remember, will edit post if I remember any more.


Job interview is tomorrow. Obviously I've looked stuff up on google, and it has helped, but I need some live support from people.

Do I need a resume?
This is my first job, and I'm 14 in 8th grade. I've looked up example resumes, and I have no work experience, no extra high school classes, none of the fancy stuff. All my resume would be is my personal info, my school and info about my schoolwork probably, and sports I do.
I'm interviewing for a place that I'd prefer not to say, you can PM if you want to know, but it's the most casual place I know. I walked up to one of the 14 year olds working there, and he was like "pull up my nigga" (14 year old white kid kinda fat) and he managed to get a job. Another reason this place is really casual, is when I was trying to turn in my application, the lady told me to come Wednesday (tomorrow) for my interview. Nothing else said. I really need some opinions on how I should do this.

Current Plan:
Show up, dress nice, slightly casual. Bring no resume and have the application that they gave me two weeks ago. That's all.

Even if you don't use it for this position, it's a great idea to have a resume on hand for the future. Is there anyone you can ask that currently works there if they went in with a resume?

I actually think it may be too late for that. Another thing that sets me off of a resume is that a boy named Isaiah, the one who referred me that I could work here at 14, looked like he was actually 8, and I know that he's very young, because of his voice and he's black, and based on my knowledge (not being racist) is that black people can't look young and be old, especially at this age group.
If they're non-officially hiring 8 year olds (I use the word "hiring" because he told me he was paid $8 an hour, about 50 cents under my state's minimum wage)[DOUBLEPOST=1511926077][/DOUBLEPOST]

If its a professional work-place, then be sure you're dressed appropriately, and that you act as if you SHOULD be there. Remember they called YOU in for an interview, not anyone else - so let that reflect in how you carry yourself.

A resume for an 8th grade is absolutely unnecessary, if this was the kind of place that looked for those things in such young applicants they would have told you to bring one. You're in 8th grade, it cannot be extremely professional.

They actually didn't even call me for an interview. I went there to turn in my application, and the lady at the front window told me "Uhhh, just bring it next wednesday for your interview, it's at 4:15 but get there a little earlier"
All she said was that.

I'm 15 years old, and I work at a restaurant as a dishwasher making $9.70 an hour for 8 hours, 5-days a week. I called up, and he said to show up the next day and here I am now.

Hmm. I may call them right now and make sure the interview is tomorrow.

So they illegally hired someone who is under the age of 14?

Doubt it. He could maybe just be a regular that goes there and helped because he's close with some of the employees. I know from experience that the employees there are very close to regulars there, they're like a family.

The fact that you say black people can't look young and be old really bothers me.

I'm talking about this age. Unless he has a physical deformity, a 14 year old cannot look 7.

Just be calm, don't be anxious as hard as that may be to do. Show the employer that you're mature and can handle stress. Be about 10-15 minutes early to show you can read a clock and know how to get to work on time. Being too early is bad, being late is way bad, being about 10 minutes early is perfect. Ask the right questions that relate to the job and always, always remain calm. Ask about benefits, procedures, keep it professional at all times.
