Your credit history and interview will be important as well. Dont go to interview wearing jeans and a T shirt. iIf they ask you are you willing to work weekends and holidays you better say, that you will work any hours at anytime.oh ok no problem, im really good at all stuff!!! If i cant wear jeans or anything like that should I wear dresss pants and a collared shirt than???

I know for the interview I am not going to where jeans and a t-shirt but for the test I am going to look presentable though....Collared/buttoned shirt and slacks will be fine. The interview will not be on the day of the test. You'll only get an interview if you pass the tests and the background check. The interview and physical abilities test will be together on a later date.
