red riding

You can start working at publix when your 14 and since I turn 14 in April I would like to apply there. I have heard many people at school say that they want to work there this summer, so I will have alot of competition with them and others who apply. By the way I don't have to write a a resume since I'm not applying for a managing job.

Answer
First start asking i.e. teachers, guidance counselor, neighbor you babysat for or knows you for at least 2-3 years, church pastor/priest/rabbi, manager at volunteer work you performed, head of any school activities, a family adult friend etc. would they be a reference for you relative to your character i.e. dependable (show up on time), outgoing/positive attitude, conservative in appearance, serious student /good grades, ability to make friends a team player with projects, flexible etc.
Then type these references on a WORD document. The title is Personal References or if you worked or have volunteer experience then Personal and Professional References. You need i.e. full name, street address, state/city/zip code, phone # and their title. You will,when called for a interview, have this document with you which puts you one step above your competition.

Interview Attire:
Dress for Success- meaning purchase a two (2) piece matching skirt or pant suit in navy or grey, a long sleeve white blouse (not sheer), conservative polished flat or low heels, stockings in a neutral shade, a conservative hand bag, clear nail polish, neat hair style, no body piercings or tattoos, two ink pens in case one runs out of ink, one piece of jewelry a necklace or scarf. If finances are a problem then go to the Salvation Army or GoodWill.

Common Interview Questions or could be on the job application:
What do you know about Publix: Check Publix website under the categories: About Us, History etc.which could be at the bottom of the page. You can impress the interviewer with siting the date they were founded, how many employees, how many stores etc.

Example:

Founded in 1930, Publix Super Markets is the largest and fastest-growing employee-owned supermarket chain in the United States. Publix and our associates excel in community involvement, volunteerism and a commitment to our market areas and beyond.

â¢Founded by the late George W. Jenkins in 1930 in Winter Haven, Fla.
â¢Largest employee-owned supermarket chain in the United States
â¢One of the 10 largest-volume supermarket chains in the United States
â¢2010 retail sales of $25.1 billion
â¢Current employee count of more than 151,000
Store Locations
1,047 supermarkets in:

Another common question is why should be hire you?
You are a dedicated and reliable worker, love serving a diversity of customers, have shopped with family at this store, even if not true, and found the employees to be upbeat and the store clean. It would be a great opportunity to learn the food business which is a field you want to pursue i.e. nutritionist or cheaf one day.

Gbriehu

I'm going to a public high school and it's quite large. and no one Im close to is going there. What should I expect? My old school was small; it was only about 220 students.

Answer
TIPS:
- don't be scared/nervous/worried... high school is not that big of a deal
- get a map of the school so you don't get lost... but don't walk around the school with it in front of your face
- you're not all of a sudden cool just cuz you're in high school so don't try and act like it... and don't go around talking to your friends about how cool it is that your in high school
- don't ask upperclassmen for help if you're lost (ask a teacher or friend) cuz they might point you in the wrong direction
- don't stop in the middle of the hallways
- try to make new friends in your classes... but still keep your old ones
- join clubs/sports... trust me it's an easy way to make friends and it looks good on college applications
- don't run to lunch
- on the first day don't wear you hollister shirt, hollister pants, hollister flipflops, and carrying your hollister bag... you will have freshman written all over you and don't wear too much makeup/accesories... just wear something simple but cute :)
- it is possible to fall UP the stairs... lol. but if this (or something like this) does happen don't be embarrassed... just laugh at yourself and walk away cuz its no big deal
- please don't be an immature freshman
- make good grades (don't screw it up freshman year cuz you WILL regret it)
- don't come to school on the first day with your huge backpack full of colored pencils, glue sticks, tissue boxes... you don't need all that crap you're in high school now. all you need for the first day is paper, pencils, and a folder
- don't decorate your locker (nobody at my school decorates them)
- be prepared for freshman friday!!!! nahhh i'm just kidding it doesn't exist.... and any rumors you hear are all FAKE! nothing scary happens... and high school is nothing like the movies.

good luck :)

this is all i can think of at the moment... senior's rule! 2010!
