Q. Hey,
I'm going to be a freshman this year. I will have my best friend and about 9 or so people that I know from middle school. I'm pretty confident, but I just want some tips and advice from you fellow high schoolers.
How different is it from middle school?
What can I expect?


Answer
these are tips that i've been giving freshmen lately...
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
- 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
- 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
- don't be intimidated by upperclassmen
- don't tell your boyfriend you 'love' him in the same week you started dating him.
- 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 :) and honestly nobody gives a crap about what you wear
- 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
- there is no pool on top of the school
- if someone offers you an elevator pass.... don't buy it!!!
- don't be the annoying kid who always cracks immature jokes in class. teachers hate that. always be nice to the teachers cuz one day when you are a senior they will help you write college reccomendation letters and you will be glad that you behaved in their class.
- don't decorate your locker (nobody at my school decorates them)
- don't start talking to random uppperclassmen like they are your best friend
- don't talk about your UPPERCLASSMEN friends cuz you can tell someone is a freshman when they say "my SENIOR friend..... blah blah blah" it doesn't matter what grade they are in! all of your friends are PEOPLE.
- don't talk about how "cool" you think you are cuz your finally in high school
- upperclassmen have other things to worry about and they could care less about freshmen.... if people do pick on you they will most likely be sophomores: they think they have the right to pick on you cuz they're not freshman anymore..... but i think if a sophomore picks on you that is pathetic cuz they are only a year older than you.
- 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 :)

class of 2010!

How can I improve my chances of getting a job at publix?




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.
