jobbb
ok so i currently have a job. but in two weeks im moving 4 hours away from home for college, and am only keeping the job i have now for the 1-2 weekends per month that i come home. im moving to a large university in a very small town. all there is is a walmart, a few restaurants, a couple bars, and some fast food. i really want a restaurant job because that's what i've done for the past 2 & a half years is be a server. other than fast food though all they really have is a Longhorn, Applebee's, and Sonny's BBQ. i REALLY want the job at Sonny's because i served at a bbq restaurant for 2 years so i feel like i could work well there and would be familiar with everything. the problem is, with it being a small town with not much employment and a ton of college kids, i've heard it's very very hard to get a job around there. i'm planning on going and applying at places on move in day to try to get ahead of everyone else, and i plan on talking to the manager at sonny's first thing, but how can i make myself really stand out and hopefully manage to get hired? not working in college is not an option because i have bills to pay & things like that, so im pretty much relying on this job. i'm going to try to mention that i've worked at a bbq place for 2 years and up talk myself before the manager can even mention if they're hiring or not, so as to maybe get them interested in me, but what else can i do? any tips?

Have a résumé with you when you go to talk to the manager, and give it to him in person :] When I went for a job interview recently, I brought a copy of my résumé with me. The woman interviewing me was pleasantly surprised, and said that I was the first person to bring one in.
If they have your résumé they have a way of contacting you besides just calling and leaving your number. It shows that you made an effort and care about having a job.
Good luck!
