Getting a job!
Superior

   There comes a time in a mans life when he will apply for a job. Whether it be to get some extra cash durring high school,  or put bread on the table for your family, a job is an exciting extension to your life. Only, one can not simply  walk into McDonald's and start flipping patties. You must go through the long, stressful process of applying. This part may seem intimidating, perhaps even make you think twice about working. This is a common problem. Millions of Americans don't have jobs simply because they won't try! Statistics seem to say that we need more jobs in America, but if you look closely there are so many open jobs. From the man that reads your water meter to the woman that takes your order at iHop, jobs can literally be found anywhere. As a matter of fact,  jobs are the essence of life. Nobody could survive on this earth without jobs. So! Now that we have established the fact that there are indeed enough jobs in America, we can learn some helpful tips to make sure you get one.

Finding a good place to work. This is the first and most important part of getting a job. You probably don't want to be feeding pigs for 5 dollars a day. Haha, been there. Anyways! Here are three things to consider when picking a place to work.
• Is it close to home? Will traffic be an issue in showing up on time?
•Is it a good part of town (Probably don't want to get shot on the first day!)
•Are the employees good spirited? (Work should be fun! Or at least not depressing)

Also, it's important to do your research on the company owner. Nobody wants their boss to say, "Yo Chino,  order me a box of pizza y'know? Before I shoot chu in tha face *mafia voice, very convincing* ". Well that's intense, but you get the point.

Here are some basic yet effective steps
to insure you get that job:

Dress appropriately.
Being well groomed and dress always make a good impression.

Arrive on time.
Be sure to arrive at least 10 minutes before the interview.

Turn off your cell phone.
Cell phone conversations, particularly when calls are personal, are not part of the meeting agenda.

Arrive with a resume, contact information, and/or business card.

A firm handshake sets the stage.
The proper handshake often sets the stage for the first impression.

Be confident.
Smile, look the employer in the eye, shake hands, and sit down when directed.

Be enthusiastic.
Communicate with interest and energy during the job interview.

Be prepared.
Be prepared for questions regarding past jobs and any future expectations you may have.

Stick to job performance and work history.
You don’t have to answer interview questions that don’t relate to job performance or work history.

Keep answers brief.
While you want to make sure you effectively communicate your background and skills, try to make answers to interview questions brief but filled with information.

Turn every negative into a positive.

Complete the interview.
Finish the interview with your questions about the job or the associated duties.

Follow up.
Send a thank you note.
