Applying For a Job

I offer this as quick advice to anyone applying for a job.  Though I am sure there are many who are aware of this I have had several apply who just don't quite get it. 

First, if you are dropping off an application look somewhat presentable.  If you are not going to dress up then at least do not dress down.  Appearance should look professional, clean, friendly and inviting.  Skimpy outfits are not what I mean by inviting. 

Getting overly aggressive when you are handing off your application at a restaurant in the middle of their lunch rush, not such a good idea.  I had a guy who acted like a turd in the front of a line of customers.  That doesn't get you very far.  We called in some interviews and he was one of them.  I didn't realize who it was at first but after 30 seconds on the phone, "ahhhh that guy".  Remembered for all the wrong reasons.  No good.

My final point tonight is dropping off an application with a friend who is also dropping off an application.  Not the best idea.  Especially not the best idea when you come in and start acting silly in front of customers.  Drive me crazy. 

Those are just a few pointers based on my experience with applicants.  I hope they come in handy to someone. 

That is all.
