How do I ask for job applications?

I'm thinking of applying to diners, and the Bakery dept at grocery stores, and places like that. Maybe Subway. I would apply at better places like Outback Steakhouse and Hoss's, but the nearest one of those is like 18 miles away and I can't afford the gas. (i live in a very rural area).



Well anyway, If I go into those places how do I ask for applications. And do I need to wear nice clothes for that?

How soon should I expect them to call me for an interview, and are they likely to want me to do the interview right away when I hand they application in?

I've had 2 semesters of culinary art's school, so should I make a resume?



Hmm, I've never applied for jobs before. And I'm one of those people that freaks out and get's really nervous (I worry about every single little detail) over stuff like this, so i'm really worried.How do I ask for job applications?
The first suggestion I have would be that you prepare and present yourself for the possibility that they may indeed interview you at the time of application. Even if they don't interview you at the time, they still may evaluate, based on your appearance and presentation, wether or not to even interview you. I've worked in places where the manager, or assistant manager, threw someone's application directly in the trash because the applicant's choice in clothing or demeaner was so poor. Also, bring a resume with you, and any written references, and attach them to the application. I've called several jobs checking on my applications, and the managers remembered me being "the one with the resume". Make small talk with the employee who hands you the application. Then, ask for a manager to hand the app to directly. If they are not present, then ask when one will be and wait until then. Good luck!How do I ask for job applications?
Yes, write a resume....it will help you fill out job applications that will be handed to you when you ask for them. You need to dress like you are walking in for an interview when you go and ask for the application. Impressions are made about you immediately. Most places as you describe, do not have applications on-line. You will have to visit them face-to-face. Take your resumes, as if they are not hiring they might not give you an application,but you can always leave a resume for future use by them. Good luck!How do I ask for job applications?
Plain and simple... walk up to the store manager and ask if they will need openings anytime soon. If so, ask for an application and tell him/her that you greatly appreciate it.How do I ask for job applications?
resumes are good to have also good recommendations........
