Hmm..about Starbucks, how would the Manager notice me? What if he/she's not out there while I drop off my application? Should I even say anything when I drop off my application, besides "Hi" and a smile? I'm feeling very self-conscious! I usually have good people-skills, but now I'm very nervous! I've heard that Starbucks is THE place to work--great pay, awesome aura, nice employees. And I want that job so badly!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

The best thing to do is to ask to speak to a manager when you drop off your application. Just introduce yourself, and tell the manager how interested you are in working at the place. Ask how many positions are open, what shifts are available, and let him/her know that you will be very flexible as far as hours go. Act mature and professional (you're wonderful at both!) and you'll do just fine.

If the manager is not available when you visit, then call within 2-3 days of when you drop off the application. Tell the manager that you are just calling to make sure that he/she received your information and ask when a decision will be made. Tell them that you will be available for an in-person interview at their convenience. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif You'll do beautifully, I'm sure!
