You are then extremely lucky that you have someone like that who can just give you a job, I have to work hard and even then I don't even get a reply from anyone.

As for school I just finished last week, and I'll be turning 18 in December, but I was hoping to get a summer job because everyone around me that's between 15-17 have a job because the schools around us can help you find one if you're having trouble getting a job, but I was homeschooled so I feel odd out over that. xD Oh well, it's just more of an excuse for me to stay indoors this summer. |

Maybe try and not bring up the fact you were homeschooled. |

Also I just came to the stunning revelation that along with the owner of the McDonald's I'm applying at being a giant ♥♥♥♥♥ (one of her managers bestowed this info in casual conversation), but every single one of her assistant managers and her GM are female, say for this one guy who looks and acts incredibly effeminate (I have a hunch he's gay). This is not looking good for me. o_p |

Have you got any other tips? |

I'm not sure what you meant by those examples… I just thought that for some being smooth and socially attractive was easy, as so many other things are a given for me that it seemed sociability was just another trait. :/ |

Showing manners and being kind is a good thing. But if you're trying to make it in the job world, you have to learn how to put on a facade of cheerfulness and ease, because the world favors extroverts. |
Quote:
Dress for the job you want., not the job you're applying to. Have a sense of humor and don't talk too much. Stay to the point. :) |

Did you volunteer anywhere? Help a parent out at one of their jobs? Any kind of job is helpful on an application/resume even if it wasn't an official one. Heck, even going around a doing peoples' lawns is good. I put that I worked at my dad's company for a little bit while in high school and that was actually a major reason I got hired. |

Let's say I spent… five years designing an awesome ROM hack and publish it here for it to explode in popularity and become a coveted work of art. I'd actually find it polite for someone to presume such a thing about my work, wouldn't you agree? It tells me that what I'm really doing is paying off, no? Quote:

Nope, there isn't really anything to add. Nope again, and I assume that this is the major reason I don't get a job because of no experience. |

You don't really get to pick acting how you want on the job until you have a skill. When you're looking at entry-level fast food jobs (and even fresh-out-of-college jobs at times), there's a couple dozen people to replace you if you leave a bad impression on the manager. |

I'm not even convinced that talent is a thing that has a direct influence on people above the age of like 10 anyway. The people that are really good at things are those that put effort into it, it just happens that if you have a spark of initial talent people encourage you so you put in that work earlier - so a few years later when you have 500 hours of drawing experience to your classmate's 50, they say "you're so talented!!!" |
