I am applying to work at Bath and Body Works today, and I need some advice. Number one, should I bring a resume, even though I have no job experience? Number two, could someone help me with the resume- format, what to put on it, etc. Number three, what should I wear to the interview. And finally, number four, do you have any other suggestions for me?

I am 18, on a resume I could put babysitting for 7 years, I started a fundraiser which raised over 7000 dollars for underprivileged students, and I just graduated from high school with a 4.0. BTW, I am a girl, lol.

In addition to resume you should have a cover letter. It is a short letter to introduce and tell about yourself.

I would say bring a resume if you can at least put something on it, even if its not really required (which it probably isnt), it will help you to stan out from other applicants. As for format, Just go with your name at the top, an objective statement, your education, and then any work experience that you have. You say you have nothing, but I would even include babysitting or anything like that you might have done in the past. Lastly, include a reference or two that isnt related to you. Dont make it any longer than 1 page! What to wear- dress nicely, nicer than employees dress in the store. Make a good impression with your clothes. Number four, just show enthusiasm in the interview! Emplyers like employees that really want to work for them, and will be friendly with customers, and will work hard at the job. Show that you are all of those things! Good luck!

Since you are going today, don't stress over a resume. Wear a nice outfit, I'm assuming you are female-a skirt and nice blouse. Make sure your nails and toenails are in good shape. BE YOURSELF. Make sure you have three references to put on the application and list any volunteer work you have done. If you like shopping at the store, tell them that, which is your favorite scent/line of products and why. Next time you have an interview, have a resume' ready, and contact your local workforce center for information on resume' and interview assistance. I hope you get the job!

YES take a resume, use your experience in school clubs babysitting etc.
Use the resume wizard on your computer, get a book at the library, or my FAVORITE, when you buy a resume pack (paper, envelopes etc) on the back or inside is usually a sample resume!
Think about Bath and Body works style...classy, simple, cheery...
Wear something professional that goes along with that style, NOT black or stuffy or drab.
Head up, look the interviewer in the eye, shake hands and smile!!!!!
Good luck Honey!

1.Yes, always bring a resume you can play up your interpersonal skills, friendly, communicator, self motivated etc.
2.Go to monster.com and there are templates on there you can use. Also good interviewing tips.
3. Wear something nice. As long as your well groomed, presentable your clothes are nice neat and not revealing. Maybe a nice top with some slacks or skirt.
4. Greet the interviewer with a smile, eye contact, and a firm handshake. Maintain eye contact throughout the interview, good posture and take a few moments to gather your thoughts before you answer a question.
This is your one chance to sell yourself so make it good. Good luck!

First-resume lists your academic performances (above high school) and your work experience. If you don't have neither-then you can't really have a resume. Second-your answer is above-there is no point of learning the format if you don't have anything to write about. Third-Its a Bath and Body works store, nothing professional, wear something casual but tasteful. No short belly shirt or tank-top.

If you have no previous job experience at all then there is no need for you to bring a resume. You should wear something nice, either khaki pants & a nice shirt or a skirt (if you're a female...LOL). Keep a nice smile, don't wear a lot of make up or jewelry & maintain eye contact!
