It is possible to get a job sometimes even when the company tells you that they are not doing any hiring! Read on!

Things You'll Need

• determination
• patience
• effort

Instructions

1. It has happened before, even to me! You can get hired even if they say they are not hiring sometimes! Be sure to apply in person and have your resume ready. Do not go in at lunch time or closing time to apply for a job because they are tired or hungry then! First thing in the morning is a great way to impress them. Dress as well as you possibly can. It doesn't matter if the job doesn't require dress clothing, wear it for the job interview if at all possible and make sure your hair and nails are scrubbed and that you are well groomed.

2. Once you get to the office where they will give you a job application, be sure to ask if you can please meet with someone in charge of hiring even if they are not currently hiring. If not now, when would be good time be to return for an interview is what you need to ask them. If you get that far and do get to talk to someone, give it your best! Do not give them a sad sob story although it is ok to let them know that you really need to get back to work as soon as possible. Express a sincere interest in the type of work they do there and if you know anything about that work at all, be sure to let them know that also! If there is anything that does not look good on your application, you may want to try to slip an explanation about that in also at this time. After you have completed putting your best foot forward, shake the person's hand and thank them for the interview. Before you leave, let them know that you do intend to keep in touch just in case anything should become available.

3. At least once a week from time of the interview on, please stop by the office and check on your application. If you cannot stop by in person, at least give them a call to inquire. Many times this determination and efforts will pay off. They may just get tired of you bothering them and hire you to put an end to that! You never know until you give it a try! Good luck!

Tips & Warnings

• If searching for work in restaurants, apply a little before lunchtime. Sometimes, there is a shortage and you could be asked to go to work right then! It has happened to me!

• Arm yourself with as much information about the company as you possibly can before applying for work there!
