Dude, if I was a cartoon right now, this is what I would look like:
It's weird to think that class is going to be over in a few days. Mostly because we haven't done anything. I'm so used to those classes that you spend hours upon hours of work just to prepare for one class. At least I'm done though. I got a postcard in the mail the other day saying that my diplomas are ready to be picked up. Which reminds me, I'm supposed to stop by Millennium to get my High School Diploma too. I hope I don't forget.
Dad and Mom are talking about moving again. This time, the destination of choice is Washington. I think it would be cool to live there, but I honestly dont' think that it's going to pan out. The two of them and Sara have been looking up all kinds of stuff about the area for about three hours now. I mentions that whole google earth thing, so they've started using it to look into people's backyards and stuff. It's kinda funny.
I have to start going down to the hospital to get a job. Do you guys think that I should go down with a a resume and like work references and stuff? I never really had to do this before, so I'm not entirely sure what the best route would be. I've only ever had one job, and that was given to me without them even reading my application.
"Why do you want to work at the Wildflower Bread Company?"
"I like money. I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top my fridge. I want to add more to that jar. That's where you come in."
"List any other qualities that would qualify you for this job."
"I like food. I eat a lot."
Yeah, you can really tell that I took that seriously. I didn't care if I got that job or not. Hints and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I wasn't bashing her, just saying that I heard a rumor she was criticised for her writing style. Either way, I'll read it. It looks pretty good!
I'm good at getting jobs. I've gotten jobs more times than I've been turned down. It's because I'm confident, and I make sure to speak clearly and not be afraid to look people in the eye.
If you bring information with you, put it in a manilla folder. I would type up a resume, and put "References available upon request." Use Microsoft word's template, and if you don't have much work experience, use the space to show anything that will show your excitement, desire, and ability to work for them. If you want to email it to me, I would be glad to look it over for you.
It's Myfirstname.Mylastname@gmail.com. I didn't want to put it on the blog, but you know my name! I hope...
So you go down there. I wouldn't dress up super fancy, you will feel out of place. Dress casual, but nice. If you want to wear a nice dress, use business casual guidelines. Or some nice slacks, and a nice shirt - like you would wear to church. Like how Rachel dresses up - she looks normal and comfortable - and very good. But only dress how you like to. If that means jeans and Tshirt, then make sure they are not raggy. Personally, I usually go for business casual, and I would in this case.
Be comfortable - they get requests for jobs all the time I bet. I would go to the receptionist and say, "Hi, I am interested in an internship. Is there anyone I can talk to or anywhere I can go for more information on that?"
Then it goes from there. I wouldn't rehearse much more than that, then you sound like a robot. Be natural, and if they ask you for a resume, you have it for them. But if they don't, it's in a folder, and you're fine.
Maybe you can go online and see if there is information about the hospital's internships, a person you can call or even an online application process. If so, then you don't have to bother going down there. Some places, like banks, the people who work there have nothing to do with hiring. Plus, you'd have an edge if you can call someone and make an appointment rather than as a walk-in.
Good luck! Call me if you need anything!
