Michelle’s Job Tips

1. Never lie on a job application.

2. When being interviewed, dress nicely, speak loudly and clearly, act confident and look the interviewer in the eyes. My bosses told me the main reason I got my jobs was because they felt I was listening to them.

3. Follow the rules. Especially in a big department store, security is always watching.

4. The customer is always right. Many times I’ve been tempted to talk back to a rude customer, but whenever I’ve started to snap at them, they just get even more rude.

5. When leaving your job, give at least two week’s notice, to give your boss time to find someone to replace you. If you are leaving because you have another job, just say you have found another opportunity. Going into specifics and volunteering information will not help you leave on a positive note.
