If that helps at all, there it is. If not, there it is.

advice

I want to work at Gifford's this summer (its an ice cream parlor). Anyways, the application form asks reaaaaally wierd questions, so I have NOOOO idea what to say at all.
1) Describe your experience at Gifford's
2) What do you like about ice cream (WHAAATTT?!?!?)
3)Why would you like to work for Gifford's?
4)What do you most enjob about your experiences as a student?
5)And what do you least enjoy

Can someone help me with writing this? I can dramatize it, because I do deserve to work there, because I am a straight-a student and such but I just don't want to say anything stupid, and I really want this.
I've never done this beforee, so I would really appreciate help with answering these straaangee questions.
Thank you so much!

Okay, simple enough.

1. Basically they want you to tell how you liked Gifford's as a customer. "My friends and I always got served right on time, and they had the best ice cream flavors" and such should do it for that.

2. What do you like best about ice cream? Well, why do you like ice cream? Happy childhood memories? Great tastes? The sweetness. Is it just your favorite snack over all? Guilty pleasure food? Ther want people who will like working there, and seeing why you like ice cream is the first step.
Personally I'd get into a short-but-sweet story of some time in your childhood and emphasize ice cream.

3. Pretty straight forward. Say it seems like a fun place with interesting people.

4. This is also best to put down socializing. Saying something like "all the great people I meet there" will give them the idea that you're a people person. Which you need to be in any job.

4. Hm, this is a difficult one. Here its best to say what you don't like to do, of course that's what they're asking. Maybe something simple, like a least favorite sport. Or maybe you don't like watching TV or some other sort of small activity. Or studying (adding that you do it though), thats always good.

Hope you get the job!
Good luck!
