applying to a jobs
15/f
I have a few questions about applying to jobs:
If I went to like a drug store or something, would I ask for an application or would I ask if they're hiring first?
Oh and If I want to a restaurant, who would I ask for an application? (non-fast food)

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
First of all, not to be rude or anything, wouldn't you just use common sense?
If you went to a drug store or something like that, asking if they have an application and if they are hiring is the same! Duh! They wouldn't give you an application if they weren't hiring. It just depends what kind of position they need.
Also, if you went to a restraunt, just ask a waiter or if you see the boss, ask him/her.

You would go to the host at the restaurant and ask for the application. They could go and get one for you, or send the manager out to talk to you. And for the drug store, I don't think it would matter what you asked first. I would ask for the application first though.

The most important thing to remember is to bring resumes with you. A lot of places don't have applications, so you'll want to have them handy.
Don't worry about asking if a place is hiring. Even if they're not, it's worth handing in an application, since they usually keep them on file in case they need to hire.
At a restaurant, I'd ask the hostess who to ask about applying.

Hi.
Best thing to do is ask them if they have any vacancies or if their hiring at the moment. If they are then you can ask them if you can get an application form to apply for the job. It would be pointless to ask for an application form when they may not even be hiring. :]
As for a place like a restaurant the best person to ask might be the person at the front (some have a person who seats everyone or checks reservations). If there isn't someone like this you may even find a member of staff wondering about in which case excuse yourself and then ask them if they know if the place is hiring. They'll probably say they'll check with their manager and ask you to wait after which they'll either bring you out an application form or the manager/supervisor may come out to talk to you him/herself. If you know they are hiring already then just kindly say you heard about them hiring and you've popped in to pick up an application form. :]

Go to the store/restaurant you want to work at and ask for the manager. Usually other employees don't really know much about getting applications or if they're hiring, so asking for the manager would be the best bet. Ask the manager if they are hiring & if so, if he/she could give you an application. Then all you need to do is fill it out & hand it in.
-hope that helped!♥
