Job Application A job application is fundamental for applying for a job. You will use job applications to show what job you are interested in. Whenever filling out an application remember to have all your information handy. Example form Matthew Waidner July 9, 2009
Resume Resumes are used to show what qualifications that you have for the job you are applying for. A resume should be only one page with only necessary information. Any extra and the reader gets bored with you and that hurts your chances of getting a job there. Example resume Matthew Waidner July 9, 2009

Interview Most jobs will require you to go through an interview before they hire you. Keep your cool in the interviewing room. You’ll need to dress appropriately for a job interview. For most food service industries you may not need to dress as formal, but for most jobs you’ll need to dress formal. If you don’t have anything formal, do what you can to get something or wear the nicest thing you have. Example Questions Matthew Waidner July 9, 2009
Thank You Letter Your thank you letter should obviously thank everyone that helped you get your job, or spent time helping you get your job. Example Letter Matthew Waidner July 9, 2009
Letter of Resignation A letter of resignation should be short and to the point. Don’t insult anyone or be negative. You should put in a date that you will resign. Give your employer plenty of notice. Example Letter of Resignation Matthew Waidner July 9, 2009
