Gym Fitness for Women

What should I expect and prepare for at a job interview for a front desk receptionist at a gym/fitness center?

- What kind of questions should I prepare for? - What's a good/normal hourly salary for this kind of position? - What are some of the key things the interviewer is looking for in me? First job interview and help would be great. Thanks so much in advance!

1. they want to know what and how you respond to people when you dont know the answer i say 9 to 10 dollars is good base pay.
2. They may ask you fitness related questions like what do you know about losing weight, getting in shape etc. Imagine they will probably want you to be able to talk up the gym and get people excited about signing up. what you are looking for in the job? what you will bring to the job? what is your experience with customer service? How would you handle an irate customer? What is your greatest weakness? Your best strength? Are you afraid of the sight of blood? Remember to relax and be confident and show your best and brightest self.
3. Well I work as a receptionist at a retirement home, and have been for 2 years. It was my first job, and I am still here...in fact writing this answer while at work lol. What to expect out of a receptionist interview: 1. Are you a people person 2. Can you work on computers 3. What is your availability 4. How would you act at work compared to home...in other words would you bring your personal problems into work. There may be more questions about what you know about fitness, and whatnot, I dont really know since I have never worked at a fitness center. I get paid an hourly rate of $10.56/hour. Make sure you can answer phones, stay calm under pressure ((we all know how consumers can act)), use computers, be kind, and able to follow directions. I wish you luck on it! Its actually a pretty good job! very beneficial in the end!!!
