Getting a Summer Job!

[witness]

Hey Onrpg, I was just wondering if following up in person is bad a idea? I'm trying to apply for some coffee shop that's literally a two minute walk away from my house. I need your help, I know there must be a lot of you who had a Summer job some time in your life Also what tips could you guys give me when speaking to the manager.

Just be yourself, be confident, and submit your resume

I second this question, as I'm attempting to get a summer job as well, albeit unsuccessfully.

Well it's gonna be hard to get a summer job cause.......you're not the only one looking for one.

My advice would be research job openings in your area, fill out a bunch of applications for every place that you qualify for and turn all your applications in. Then if you get call backs go in and do the interview.......also if there is a place you especially want to work for then go in personally and ask to talk to the Manager.

Best Of Luck. :3

Edit: I suck at talking to Managers and usually I only got summer Jobs cause one of my family members was the manager or I had to flirt with older women........yes I feel no shame. Confidence, and kissing butt are the answers to all life's problems, oh and being related to the boss doesn't hurt.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I actually have to go talk with the managers now before they leave Luckily I got to talk with one of them last night and they had a night shift opening, so she told me to drop my resume by today.

How's your CV? It's one of the most important things; I mean; you can be shy when talking to the manager (I mean; you have to sell coffee and shit, you don't have to have (.)(.) conversations with people).

I currently have 3 jobs (Model, ice cream seller+maker, journalist). You can compare my ice cream parlor job(s) with the coffee shop thing.

A summary of things you have to pay attention to:

- Be polite! Probably the most important one.
- Have a good CV.
- Pay attention to how you look.
- Hygiene. Brush your teeth, wash your face, cut your nails etc.. etc..
- Be honest.
- Put up a (fake) smile.

Naaah-ope.....When I was a cashier I didn't smile at all unless some guy was hitting on me.

They don't pay you to smile! They pay you to be nice and get your work done on time.

Edit: They also pay you not to spit in people's food.

if your boss is a women do not comment her on her chest during the interview

i thought trying to kiss some *** would help but it got me thrown out
