Carmen’s Job Search tips

  1. Keep in mind that any money is better than no money. So don’t be too proud to work for low pay in a place that is not where you want to end up working after you graduate. If you do a great job even at a low paying job, and choose to enjoy doing it and have fun working there, chances are you will attract either a raise, or an even better job very quickly. And even if you don’t, you’ll still be having FUN working rather than being miserable and resentful that you’re not paid much.
  2. Look for places that you like to go to and spend time in. Chances are you would enjoy working there and will make a good impression when you go in to meet with the manager.
  3. Make sure to meet the manager, and make a great impression. Make sure he/she remembers you favorably, not as a slob who’s desperate hoping to be hired by someone.
  4. After filling out the employment application or submitting your resume, call them within 24-48 hrs to
    1. Make sure they received your application/resume, and have they had a minute to review it?
    2. Make sure that they remember you positively
    3. Let them know how much you would LOVE to work there, and what you do well that you would love to contribute to their business. How perfect the job would be for you and how perfect you would be for the job.
    4. To ask if you could come in for an interview.
    5. DO NOT wait for them to call you, they may be way too busy to remember. Be proactive!
  5. When you get an Interview:
    1. SHOW UP 10 minutes EARLY! Not ½ an hour, not 1 mn, but 10-15 mns early makes a great impression.
    2. Look GREAT! Well combed, dressed, showered, smelling good. Do NOT smoke before an interview: it leaves you smelly, and a lot of employers will be turned off by that.
    3. Make sure that the manager/chef/interviewer knows that you really want the job. NOT that you’re desperate for the job, because that’s a turn off. But make sure they know that you are VERY interested and that it would be the dream job for you, and that you would be the dream employee for them.
    4. And make sure you figure out quickly if this job is a good fit for you or not. If it’s not, thank them for the opportunity to interview, and that it does not look like it’s a great fit. Do NOT take a job that you have a bad feeling about. It’s guaranteed to end up being a miserable experience. You are worthy of having a good job that matches you well.
    5. Always call or email the person who interviewed you within 24 hrs to thank them for the interview, to tell them that you’re very interested in the job, and that you look forward to hearing back from them soon.
  6. When you get the job offer that you want:
    1. Thank the interviewer very sincerely, and send them a thank you note for the job offer. Immediately!
    2. CALL ME! Let me congratulate you, honor you, and if we get lots of students getting jobs, maybe we can have a mini party to celebrate my job getting rock stars!
    3. Show up ON TIME every day, and if you even THINK that you might be late or absent, immediately call them to let them know.
    4. Have FUN doing a great job. It will make you look good, it will make us look good, and it will attract the perfect FT job once you graduate and are looking for more hours.
