The All-New, All-Inclusive Job Wanting and/or Job Having SUPERTHREAD!

You're going to work at a greasy restaurant. Just go in there. Dressed like the people who work your job (so a polo and khakis and decent shoes [not flippy floppies], no tie). Talk to the manager. Don't sound like a skeez. Don't flirt with any of the girls there either (you do that once you get the job). Eye contact is good. Lean forward a bit.

Finally, the most important thing to do is whenever they ask you a question. Answer the question. And it briefly. Don't give them your life story. And if they do ask for your life story its "well, I'm from X and I've been in Y for Z years."

Also, don't be afraid to make small talk or joke around with the person if thats the way its going. People like to hire people they made a connection with. Just make sure you keep it within the bounds the inverviewer set up. Meaning, if they start making little jokes, you can too, just don't control the jokes. A "thats what she said" (used appropriatly) is fine. But don't start going down the road of "what do you like in a manager?" and your response is "me" (pretend the person interviewing you is your potential future boss and is an attractive, relatively young female no more than 4 years your senior). Totally inappropriate. Unless you're getting her number as a result, then you're much better off with the digits than you are with the job.

And my last bit of advice. And the MOST important bit.

Take a bath before showing up.
