What if your boss wants you to do something on the job that you don't know how to do? How do handle this?
If it is something that is part of the job, tell the supervisor that you do not know to do that task but would love to learn how to do it so you can be more self-sufficient.

A co-worker/teammate is running late for his/her shift. If your co-worker/teammate lets his/her supervisor know and that supervisor approves, is it OK for you to work a longer shift until that co-worker/teammate gets to work?
Absolutely. If the boss is aware and approves, it not only helps out a co-worker, it allows you to earn more money for the extra time. You will also get the very reputation with your boss and co-workers for being a "team player"

Your co-worker/teammate is talking to your supervisor and you feel like asking a different question. Is it OK to just speak what is on your mind, the moment you feel like it?
No. Any conversation, including on the job conversations, really need, to follow a courteous flow. You should not interrupt, especially with a different topic statement or question. Wait for the conversation to end before you either add your comment or ask a different question.

If you get nervous or flustered during an interview, you will not get the job.

False. Most all of us get nervous when we interview for a position. It is very normal. A good interviewer will try to put you at ease and unless you say "the wrong thing", being nervous by itself usually won't disqualify you from the job.

Is your supervisor always evaluating your job performance when he/she is with you on the job?
Yes. Every manager, either formally with a written evaluation, or informally - through casual observation, is constantly evaluating how well you are working.

Your co-worker/teammate constantly comes into work with his/her hair messed up, unwashed face & hands, dirty clothes, and with strong body odor. What should you do?
First, take your co-worker off to the side and tell him/her about your observations and ask if they knew that the situation was obvious to all. Possibly ask them if they needed any help getting some personal hygiene products. If the problem continues then privately make your supervisor aware of the problem and need of help.
400
Being cheerful and upbeat isn't important as long as you show up for work.
False. Your attitude for your job is felt by all around you; your co-workers/teammates, your boss, even the customers. If you attitude is bad, that will negatively affect everyone. So cheer up!

What if your boss asks you to work a second shift to cover a co-worker/teammate's absence and you have another commitment. What should you do?
Tell the boss that, while you might normally be happy to help out by staying, that you have another commitment this time, and could not do so.
500
Is it OK to go on and on about how good you are at something, and brag about your talents and achievements all the time?
Not really. It is OK to let your supervisor know that you think that you are good at something, but never repeatedly remind him/her about it. It is also very annoying to co-workers/teammates and may make for some "ill" feelings.
500

Taking a long break is allowed on any job site.

All interviews are the same. Once you've done one then you are totally prepared for the rest.

While having gone through your first interview certainly helps you know what to expect on the others, differences in jobs, managers styles and questions will always make each interview different.
