job ahh


Question Posted Monday February 12 2007, 4:37 pm

well im currently looking for another job but cant seem to get anywhere. ive turned in about 4 applications at places but no one calls back. the only reason i got my last job was because they pretty much just hired everyone who applied for the grand opening, but then cut the team down by half [which is why im now unemployed even though i only got to work 3 days]. when i turn in applications i smile, im friendly, and im polite but i need something thatll set me off from other people i guess becuase on friday i put an application in with the manager at this bbq place that i REALLY want to work at but they havent called soo im plannin on callin them sometime this week to ask if it was looked over. but how can i show myself as a nice, good worker so ill get hired? not just for this job but others as well. thanks <3

You sound as though you are doing everything right about how you present yourself when meeting them.

My advice? Show them how bad you want to work for them. Call in the next day after turning in your application. Ask them if they have had time to review your application. If they say, sorry, haven't yet, say ok, thank you. Then call back the next day and ask the same.

They want to hire somebody that wants the job. Prove that somebody is you by expressing your interest in it.

If you're able, dress well, like in a long-sleeved dress shirt and dockers and go in to the business with a copy of your resume. Ask to speak with the manager (don't go in when they're busy). Let him/her know that you applied and you would really like to speak with him/her about the opening. If the position is already filled, smile, thank the manager, and ask whether there's something on your resume (like a typo) or if there is any reason he can give as to why you weren't the top candidate. Good luck.
