So I really love the store Hot Topic and I go there a couple times a month or so. When I turn 16 I do plan to apply for a job there and I really do want a job there. Well when I go there there is always this one employee who is there! And we've made small talk before and I don't think he recognizes me which is understandable but I thought if I can befriend him or other employees then my chances of getting a job there would increase slightly? It doesn't even matter if it doesn't, I just want to be friends with the employees and recognizable to them when I walk in and able to talk to them because they are all so nice and funny. Hot Topic feels like a second home to me, I'm just so comfortable there.
Haha, this was a weird/ corny spiel but yeah, any advice?
Whenever you go in there make a point to talk to the employees and be very nice and friendly. Try to get to know them and let them know you. You could ask them how they like working there, and mention that in however many months you are thinking about applying there. Ask if there are open positions now or if you can put an application in early. Even if they don't have an opening right now, you want your application to be on top of the pile.
Also when you're at the store, take note of what the employees do and the location of all the products. It will be an advantage for you to know the layout of the store and the basics when applying for the job.
