Don't worry about your co-workers. Concentrate on doing that which will make you stand out. Be smart and promote yourself.  I am by no means suggesting sucking up. Do the Right thing.

well that should of been on your application and if your interviwere asks that then the interviewer is a moron. For first timers they want to know about YOU your likes dislikes how you will deal with problems so on. Just wear something nice be polite and positive don't sweat it and good luck

Wrong?? No.  Maybe looked a little foolish, though.  Hey I wouldn't count yourself out on this.  Wait until you hear back from him--you never know!!  Good luck!\n\nEDIT:\n\nYes, it was unprofessional.  As, someone who hires where I work, I would question your ability to make a decision.  But, if I was very impressed with your experience and skills I would probably give you a chance.

Are you really qualified for the job? Are you dressed to impress? Make eye contact and answer the questions asked. Good God....remove the piercings and cover the tattoos.No one wants a weirdo on the job---no matter how well you work, you are a distraction or an embarrassment.\nBe on time or early would be better. Have a resume that is relevent to the job---no one cares about your work at Mc Donalds.Thank them when you are done and send a letter of thanks when you get home.

hogwash cloothe.  You get out there and pound the ground and you will find small jobs, some one who will take a chance on your personality and great ideas. There are places on the net to get what you need.  Buy a landscaping software program and learn it inside and out.  Go to the library and read everything you can get your hands on.  Those small jobs will turn into references for bigger jobs and bigger jobs.  Believe me, a buddy and me did the same thing with stone working and landscaping, and begged, borrowed and stole to get jobs and now my partner is doing VERY well.  Our first job, we lost money on cause we had to go home every night and read up on the new mistakes we ran into that day, but we finished the job and it was award winning quality.  We lost money on THAT job but the experience we gained gave us all kinds of exposure and confidence.  You can do it and great luck to you!  Do NOT give up and do NOT listen to downers like cloothe who think the only way to make it in this world is to give your money away to learn when you can learn for free.  You will learn in the same time and in the end you will be making the big bucks just as fast if not sooner.  You are an artist I can tell,  Put your ideas on paper.  That's all you're doing is drawing a yard. You rock on little one.  The dragon knows what he is talking about, I promise you.

"It's the first steps that count". It may be difficult @ first, but soon you'll be used to it.\nI just hope that once you've received your hard earned wages, you'd save it or spend it wisely. Learn & appreciate the value of hard work. Should you screw up at this restaurant, they may fire you; but, I'm pretty sure you'll find another job in no time. In a way, you may lose a job, but you will surely gain more work experience. So, don't lose any sleep over it. Some youngsters are happy with the little amount of money they've got now & forget that they should above all "INVEST IN EDUCATION". Education is the only investment that no one can take it away from you. \nAim high. You don't want to be a waitress or a hostess all your life, do you ?\nBest of luck.

Don't try something you are not trained in or qualified in. Don't act smart and lose your teeth in the process. =)

I would recommend dressing neatly, but not a suit & tie. Expect to fill out a job application. I would avoid excessive jewelry and outlandish hair styles. Look at what employees there wear daily and be careful about piercings.\nThey should ask you open ended questions about your past performance so be prepared.\nAn open ended question would something like "Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult person."\nAs this is your first job situation, you'll not have past employment to fall back on for the answers, so use things from your own experience. Maybe something from school or home.\nBe sure to smile, give a firm handshake, and look the interviewer in the eye.\nGood luck!

do a little research on the company so if they ask questions you can answer them. dress respectably.maybe even, if you are nervous plan a speech and go over it or write it down on an index card. don't bring up salary for a bit. you want them to mostly know that you really want the job. rock thier socks! i hope you get the job. oh, and um, get some sleep the night before. people hire people who look respectable. this one guy had three guys who wanted a job. he hired the one who had shined thier shoes. if you respect yourself, others will too.

If you are seriously interested in having a summer job start applying now before college students are back.  My first jobs were at the mall.  I worked in the food court and at a department store.  I also worked at a couple restaurants.  Made great money as a server.  You could be a server or hostess at a restaurant, or a cashier at just about any store.  Many places hire just for summer.  The key is getting the job before a college student does.

My first job was working at one of the fast food places in the mall's food court.  I was 15 and I loved it.  I worked at lot of places in the mall.  Two food places in the food court and then at a department store.    The best job for me was when I was a waitress.  You went home with cash every time you worked.  And you got to meet alot of people.  It was tough sometimes, but I always had fun.  And the money was good.  Kept me in great shape too.

If you just started the job, I wouldn't do anything.  Some guys are just jerks.  But if you've been there awhile or if he puts you down a lot, then go over his head.
