Many young people look to finding a part time job to earn some extra money. A good place to start yourpart time job hunt is on a website like www.jobsvacancies.org As young people are often still in school they need to find a part time job, which fits around their education. When applying for a part time job, here are some tips one must remember when going up to a potential employer;

• Never apply for a position without writing a CV. If you do not supply a CV it is likely that your application will be rejected. You need to ensure your CV really sells you and makes you stand out from the competition, so ensure you detail your previous experiences and highlight areas where you have excelled.

• Smart dress and a well groomed appearance is vital when you attend a job interview. Being well presented doe not just involve your clothes, so ensure your hair and nails are also neat and tidy. The outfit worn should be smart or be business casual. If you are dressing casually, wear a smart polo shirt with a good pair of trousers or a well cut skirt. Remember to wear smart shoes and limit the amount of jewellery you wear.

• Finding a new job is never easy, and you have to be prepared for a few rejections. If you receive a rejection do not dwell on it or take it personally. Focus on securing your next interview with another potential employer.

• It is worth noting that you should greet your interviewer with a firm handshake and you should always be sincere. Whilst in the interview make sure you convey why you want the job and the skills you feel you can bring to the organisation.

• It may be a few days before you are told of the outcome of the interview, as the company may have to see other people after you. Make a note of the interviewers name and contact details so you can chase up your application after the interview.
