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.

You better hook me up with some Mango-A-Go-Go. Anyways, you shouldn't lie. It's best when you're honest. What if they found out you lied? See? |

See? Mango a go go thats my fav!!! For refences, use a teacher you got good grade from..or like a coach or choir or band direcot. People like that are good. Also, try using your parents friends that know you. Or your friends parents! Thats what I use. Just try to answer honestly. Stay away from trying to say what they want to hear, but they can tell. THey read lots of those things a day. Oh, and u should apply for Blcokbuster. Its an automated application. Makes life easier. And for future reference, have a peice of paper with you with all your reference info, and fill out the application IN THERE!! Don't take it home and come back. It helps people remember who you are better. ANd intorduce yourself to the manager if you can. If when you come in there is no manager, fill it out there anyways, and find out when they will be there. Come back then, and introduce yourself. A lot of managers wont even look at the apps for people they dont recognise. Do things to make you stand out in thier mind. okay, I'm done. |

But yeah, ^ she summed up everything was I was gonna say. Don't butter them up, smack them hard with the truth. But a little white lie won't hurt.
