Yeah, I have some black boots.

I would dress nicer than casual, as your first impression really does make a difference.

 

You seem very laid back about it because it is Starbucks, however, it's always good to create strong references for your future jobs.

 

You can drop off a resume/app and then call back a week later to ask the progress of your application.

 

I think the way you come off during the interview will dictate you getting a job. I have seen time and time again where someone acts very nonchalant during an interview and doesn't land it for that reason. So I would recommend being calm, but also showing your more favorable assets that you mentioned above.

 

Good luck.

Would you say a casual button up shirt is good for an interview? Black shirt with black khakis and vans checkered shoes?

When I searching for jobs before, I used to hand them my resume, and it seemed like it wasn't even worth the effort.

Last Monday, I went job hunting and applied at 5 different places. The only place that I seemed to have any luck at was Starbucks, I have an interview tomorrow. I'm not even sure if I'll get a job there, so I'm going to apply at more places soon.

Now what is the trick to getting a job?

Is it what I put on the application? I've been putting down my skills as: attentive to detail, dealing with customer complaints, can work under pressure, lots of stamina.

Is it how I dress when I come in to fill out an application? Is it my available times? I'm putting down numbers and actual times, should I put down just "mornings" and "nights" to make it less confusing?

Is it based on the actual need of employees at the time? Or is it just my outlook of things? Should I be taking this step seriously, or just laxed and carefree?

I've been thinking if I were to take it laxed and carefree, when I go fill out another application, say at another Starbucks, I'm going to put down "Executive Bathroom Inspector or Barista" for the position I want, and when I do that interview tomorrow, I'm going to joke around and have a laugh at it. Should I be taking the application process serious at all?

Does what I wear to the interview really matter either? I'm going to just wear some black Volcom khakis, a white henley, and checkered Vans.
