| "The good thing is that I volunteer with this woman who's friend owns one of the stores I'm going to in a bit, so I could ask her to put in a good word for me"
My suggestion is to call her first and ask for her help and advice. More than likely, she can just tell the hiring manager to hire you even though you'll probably still have to put in an official application. If she can't hire you, she probably can help connect you with business owners who can.
S was basically promised a summer job by a store owner whom he had volunteered extensively with. In fact, she told me that she specifically looks to hire students who do extensive community service. She herself does community service because she cares about the community, and she likes to help students who do the same. |
