Fill out applications for places that are hiring, make a resume, and call the places you have already applied to. The worst thing they can say is they aren't hiring anymore. It also helps to fill the application out on the spot and ask to speak to a manager if one is available. Never apply at food places around noon or during any places busy periods.\n\nIf you don't have much experience or you have lots of gaps it helps to emphasize your personal skill in a resume before you give your selected job history. That's what they taught us to do in a class for homeless people seeking employment. It is really effective. Also never underestimate the cover letter. As silly as they are they work well.

Check the local paper(s) in the classified section. Walk around in the area where you want to work. Look for help wanted signs. If you don't see a sign but would like to work in a particular place talk to the boss and express an interest. Ask if you can fill out an application or leave your number. Tell everyone you know that you are looking for a job. Some towns have organizations that help teens get work experience. If you are in school, ask your counselor to help you. Use the internet to find a job and to put out a resume. If you have friends with good jobs, ask them how they got their jobs. Ask them if they have any suggestions for you. If you are persistent and optimistic and let prospective employers know what you have to contribute, you will find or create the perfect job. Creating a job is about going into business for yourself or with friends offering a needed service. The world is your oyster. Make a pearl.

Search the internet for the company you want to apply to.  They will usually have a "career' or "opportunities' page that will provide contact information for sending a resume. Write them an email, and attach your resume, or follow the specific instructions on their web page.  Sometimes they have online forms that you need to complete, or other requirements.\n\nOr you can search for jobs to apply to using Monster.com or Hotjobs.com, or other jobsearch websites.  You submit your resume to them, and when you see a job you want to apply for, they send it to them.

Best way to get a job is through connections. Thats what it is all about.  Got any family? cause if you cant rely on others for connections, you have to make your own.  Now, you can't just go out there asking for help, you have to go out there and try to help others, ask the person who you want to be employed by "What can I do to  help you out?"  Then he/she will owe you.  Make friends out of people in the business.  Might take a while but you will not be out of a job for a long while.\nGood luck

Job interviews are easier for the interviewers and the interviewees if you plan and prepare questions and answers, and use proper interviewing techniques. On this page are job-hunting and job interviews tips, samples of tough interviews questions, and answers, for interviewers and interviewees. There's also an outline of the group selection recruitment method, the most effective way to recruit people for most jobs. Job interviews are critical to the quality of an organization's people. Good job interviews processes and methods increase the quality of people in an organization. Poor job interviews methods result in poor selection, which undermines organizational capabilities, wastes management time, and increases staff turnover. Here are samples of interviews questions asked at interviews. Many interviewers and interviewees are keenly interested in 'tough' interview questions and certainly interviewees need to prepare answers for 'tough' questions. However, from the interviewer's perspective asking 'tough' questions is not usually helpful. Interviews should not place undue pressure on interviewees, because people tend to withdraw and become defensive under pressure. We learn more about people when they relax. It's better therefore to focus on 'good' interview questions rather than 'tough' ones. Good interview questions encourage interviewees to think about themselves and to give the interviewer clear and revealing information as to the interviewee's needs, capabilities, experience, personality, and suitability for the job. The best interview questions are therefore the questions which most help interviewees to reveal their skills, knowledge, attitudes, and feelings to the interviewer.\n\nMuch of this guidance also applies to students seeking internships and work experience placements. Effective interview techniques, and the processes surrounding interviews, apply to all situations involving candidate selection, whatever the position and situation.\n\nIf interviews make you nervous (as they do to most people), take comfort from the interview story about the wrong Guy, which is also a great lesson for interviewers in the need for good preparation and communication, and why high pressure in interviews doesn't get to the truth, it merely forces people to tell you what you want to hear.\n\ninterviews tips - for interviewees\nResearch as much as you can about the company - products, services, markets, competitors, trends, current activities, priorities. See the tips about researching before job interviews. \nPrepare your answers for the type of questions you'll be asked, especially, be able to say why you want the job, what your strengths are, how you'd do the job, what your best achievements are. \nPrepare good questions to ask at the interview. See the section on questions to ask at job interviews. \nRelated to the above, request a copy of the company's employment terms and conditions or employee handbook before the interview, in order to save time covering routine matters during the interview. \nAssemble hard evidence (make sure it's clear and concise) of how what you've achieved in the past - proof will put you ahead of those who merely talk about it. \nHave at least one other interview lined up, or have a recent job offer, or the possibility of receiving one from a recent job interview, and make sure you mention it to the interviewer. \nMake sure your resume/cv is up to date, looking very good and even if already supplied to the interviewer take three with you (one for the interviewer, one for you and a spare in case the interviewer brings a colleague in to the meeting). \nGet hold of the following material and read it, and remember the relevant issues, and ask questions about the areas that relate to the organisation and the role. Obtain and research: the company's sales brochures and literature, a trade magazine covering the company's m

Go to college. Get good grades. Do an internship. Start applying for jobs in the early winter or early spring. Have a professional reader (should be able to find one free on campus) review your resume before you post it to the top job-hunting sites. (Yahoo Hotjobs and Monster) Dress-up for the interview in appropriate business wear. Reasearch the company before you go to the interview so you know as much about them as possible.

Call back anyone who has interviewed you recently and talk to them.  Ask them if there is something you can do to improve your chances of hire!  Good luck.

a good way to increase your odds is to post your resume on monster dot com, or one of the other resumee posting agencies. Then employers looking for something specific can go hunting for it.\nThe very best way is still knocking on doors. But take a relaxed approach. Don't think theres anything magic you can say or do. There isn't and that's impossible pressure you put on yourself. If the interviewer has a job for you, that you are qualified for, he'll give it to you. If he doesnt he won't. Be sure to check back, and always come in the AM's. Guys who come in the afternoon dont get half as many jobs.\nBest of luck.

Try your local newspaper or the newspaper from the area you want to work. Also, if online and the company name is listed, do some research on the company. Find out where they are located and who the hiring manager is. Then deliver the resume in person to the hiring manager.

There is really no way to know what an interviewer will ask you-different companies want to know different things.One great  thing you have going for you is your degree! The best thing to do in any interview is to be as honest as possible and use your common sense. Also be prepared to have more than one interview with any given company-I've heard that some companies will interview you three or more times before a decision to hire you is made!! Just be as calm as possible during the process. Hope this helps and the very best of luck to you!!

Honestly most people get a job by word of mouth, knowing someone. But a lot of places require you to submit an on line application. But this might help. I found out that calling and asking to talk to the manager is good any way. \n\nI did that and the manager said he would watch for my application. Though I decided not to apply for that job. \n\nSo try every avenue you can to a get a job. Also go back after you put in an application and ask if they have hired any one. This got me a job one time. And dress nice even just dropping off an application. \n\nYou don't have to over dress. I don't know but to be honest dresses for women always look good and make a good impression or black pants and a white shirt, depending on the job. \n\nAnd smile and make polite conversation. I have had many part time jobs. And offered many more(some full time) and raises not to leave. But right now I will probably be doing some sort of job from home soon. Checking into it. \n\nThere are lots of little things you can do to increase your chances. Even reading a library book on resumes can help.
