Answer 1

Keep a well-written CV ready, look out for ads for jobs and respond to them, register with an employment agency, contact the local chamber of commerce for suitable openings, ask your friends (who are working), for contacts and possible job placements.

Answer 2

well, it depends on where you're looking. if it's a place that sells radical clothing then you might dress SOMEWHAT radically. you should always be neat and ALWAYS dress more conservatively than you would when actually doing the job. if it's an establishment then ask to see the manager. always be polite, it doesn't hurt to look/act a little nervous, and ask if they are hiring-they will give you an application to fill out. ALWAYS have ALL your information with you dates, places, times, contacts etc. get a resume. word or a simular WP program will have a resume template. ALWAYS list your resume from your strongest viewpoint.
education/experience etc.
if looking for an entry level position then you tell them you are looking for an entry level position. you emphisize your strong areas. for example: I didn't miss any days at school/my GPA was--etc. if you were a serious student then stress that if you did poorly in school, missed a lot, troublemaker,bad student, etc. then don't stress school-I graduated in ???? and leave it at that.

remember, you're approching them. you must sell yourself first. on an entry level position they are interested in two things, and maybe a third, your're dependibility, and your ability to work with others without causing trouble. a third may be how smart you are if applying for a position that can work up.
I get the impression you're non-degreed so you're selling yourself, not your degrees. dress well, dress conservatively, speak well (no "likes"), sit well, don't slouch, one thing important-if you're very attractive- do not enhance that. wear conservative makeup.ifyou're really gorgeous then you're trouble. men will be attracted to you and women will be treathened by you-the boss will think "I don't need this" remember- the first step is GETTING the job. so sell yourself. you gotts to get the job before you can impress him/her with how good you are. the boss will ALWAYS err on the side of caution when hiring. if a major corporation, it will, probably, involve filling out an application and "we'll call you", but, in reality, only if you're hired-if you're not then you'll never hear from them.

sorry this is soo long, but, I would rather err on the side of too much information.

GOOD LUCK- and by the way-if you're smart enough to be worrying about it before the fact then you're probably the type of person that will do well.

Pretty much. At the worst, they'll say they don't need anyone.
