First job etiquette?

This summer i will be applying for my first job and im pretty freaked.

I will be appliying at such places as starbucks, subway, possibly mcdonalds, safeway, and tim hortons.

What kind of things should i wear to look respected but still be comfortable since its crazy hot where i live?

Also, what kinds of questions should i be prepared for?

How should i act during the interveiw and handing in the application?

Should i hand in my resume right away with the application? or should i ask if they'd like it?

I really need a job so lots of detailed information would be the best

thanks :DFirst job etiquette?
Ok, since your looking at these places... they usually are the ones who mostly hire "first time jobbers".



You dont need a resume, act friendly, you can dress in casual clothes to the interview, be nice and courteous.



Be prepared to tell them a little about yourself... they usually ask that first. McDonalds gives you a little customer service quiz .... which is basically common sense questions (like "If a customer ordered a double cheeseburger and received a single cheeseburger... would you A) Refund Them B) Tell Them You Cant Exchange It C) Get Them The Correct Order %26amp; Throw Away The Mistake Burger....)



Its simple, and your first day is all training... usually paperwork, videos, etc and then the 2nd day is hands-on training with a trainer.First job etiquette?
First Job? Fill out the application at the place you are applying at. No need for a resume. Dress nice. Nice and comfortable.Be polite and be yourself.First job etiquette?
Since its really hot wear capris and flats. and a nice conservative shirt. Dont have your boobs haning out!

Questions they might ask:

Are you available to work anytime? if not, what days/times will you not be able to work and why? (they wont hire you if you say u can work nights and weekends)

Do you have a dependable way to get to work? (a car or parents driving you)

Have you ever worked in a place like this before? If so, where?

Why do you want to work for us?



The places your applying at dont require a resume, you should just go in and ask for an application and then when you bring it back staple your resume to the back of it.



Good luckFirst job etiquette?
Wellll....:) First off, make sure your application is neat and everything is filled in correctly. If you have a neat and well-written resume...sure you can hand it in...it'll probably impress the employer that you took the time to make one. Make sure, if you have any experience that pertains to the job your applying at, to really emphasize that on the resume.

Interviews....can't help ya too much :p I'm on my second job and i didn't have an interview for either one (thank goodness!) The one interview I went to, I didn't get that job so...I'm not a good one to advise :) I always hear that you should sit alert in your seat but not stiff...ask your own questions...answer their questions detailed but don't ramble on about odd stuff....be interested in what their saying and in the job...be confident but not cocky...etc....and just wear something neat and maybe similar to what the other employees wear at that particular job...most jobs specify what you should wear or at least give you guidelines so I wouldn't worry about that and if they don't tell you...you can ask them! :) Anyways, good luck!
