So true.
Even if you are applying for a job pushing trolleys at Tescos make sure you look presentable in your interview!
As pro4nut said, make sure you research the company too so you know who you are dealing with.
Be polite and courteous(?) too...you might only be a part-timer but when the holidays come along and you're after some of that Christmas overtime it will do you well to have built up a good relationship with the person who dishes out the overtime hours
I was pushing trolleys at Sainsburys for £3.80 an hour in 1996, but I used to work all the hours I could grab.
Oh and another tip, from a 30 year old with financial regrets.....dont waste your wages! Save some of it if you can....it might sound lame to save some of your wages but even something like £50 a month for 5 years will go someway towards a deposit on a house.
I never appreciated the important of saving up for a deposit, getting a mortgage and all that and chose to blow my wages on fags, beer and motorbikes lol
