But, I have never had a job List skills or classes that are relevant List volunteer work, self employment
(babysitting), or charitable work Help you have provided (watched the
neighbors dog, help your Mom at her office, etc.)

Let’s try it… Fill out the provided application with
your given work history Complete on your own Turn in when completed

Now that I have submitted an application… Follow-up
If it’s an online application, call to be sure it’s been received
Don’t call or stop in everyday A couple times is customary Be professional, courteous and polite!
It will make them look for your application

You got an interview! Now what? Research the company (mission
statement, sales, news, etc.) Research the specific job you are
applying for (tasks, responsibilities, skills, etc.)
