Job Tips
- During Your Job Search: Use your network (friends, family, neighbors) or try applying somewhere you like to shop or eat at.
- Before an Interview: Let your references know you’re interviewing and visit the company's website to learn about their mission, vision, and values.
- Present Yourself Well: Pay attention to your hygiene, and dress for a level above the job. Iron your clothes, avoid fragrances, and don't wear jewelry.
- At the Interview: Show up 15 minutes early and introduce yourself. Be sure to send a thank you note or email within a day.
- Questions: Be prepared and think about the questions your interviewer may ask. Consider writing a list of questions after viewing their website and learning about who they are.
