Yeah Im currently searching for a job for the summer. But I dont know how to fill up a job application. Im sure someone here has a job or whatever. But anyways any tips or advice for me would help a lot. I dont even know who to use as a reference. This may be dumb, but I always get stuck on these type of things.

right now i have an app for a place called Peets Coffe and Tea. And it asks 3 questions that I have know idea on how to answer.

1.What do you think youll enjoy about working at Peets?
2.What is your definition of customer service?
3.How often do you drink coffe or tea? What is your favorite type of coffe or Tea?
4.Attendance and punctuality are important factors to an employee's successor failure with Peet's. How do you maintain good attendance and punctuality?

Okay see I dont even know that much about the place so I dont really know how to answer #1, I just heard about the opening from school. And #3 I dont drink coffe or tea. Should I lie. I do have frappucinos at Starbucks. But I dont know if that counts as coffee.

You should always be as honest as you can in apps.

To answer number one, all you need to do is look around the store and observe! How's the staff? How's the customer? Are they happy?
Numero dos is a little more tricky. Customer service means a lot of different things to different companies, but the easiest way to understand it is by looking at the word "service" as you would look at the word "relationship". Anyway, you could say something like... Customer Service to me is knowing the regulars' names and being able to personalize greetings, meaning, being able to say more than just "hello, welcome to Peets".
Be as honest as you can on number three. Just say, in truth, you're not much of a coffee, or tea drinker, but assure them that you can learn to familiarize yourself with the drinks. Don't mention how you're going to achieve that, just say you are going to do it.
