To get the most out of a temp agency, you need to call them every other
day or so and let them know you're looking for work. Take even 1-day
jobs, they'll make your some cash and get some experience. Small
businesses aren't hiring as many people usually, but they will not dick
you around. If a small business says they're hiring, they're hiring. If
they inteview you, they're considering hiring you, not just filling in
slots. If you go to turn in an app and ask to speak to the manager,
they'll listen. Don't go during peak hours or call during peak
hours. For retail, this means 3-6, sometimes around the noon hour. For
restaurants, that means 6-8, 11-1, and 5-7. When you go, make sure
you're clean and maybe dress up a bit. For food jobs, clean nails
without polish are important. All the time. Wear hair pulled back. SMILE
a lot, and be enthusiastic. In resumes and cover letters, emphasize
that you love the company, are detail oriented, reliable (not calling in
sick is half the battle), energetic, and good at customer service. Give
specific examples on your resume, apps, and cover letter. Bad handwriting can get your app thrown out. If
you have job experience, go on a walking tour of your neighborhood. Go
to every business similar to the one you recently worked at, and ask if
they're still looking for holiday help. It will help a lot if you can
start ASAP. Whenever you ask for an app from a larger chain, don't just
ask for an app, ask if they're looking for people.
