ok so i'm gunna go out looking for a job sometime tomorrow but i'm really nervous about asking for applications, like i don't wanna seem weird. but i just feel like i will seem a bit strange in like the smaller places like video rental places and mall stores and stuff

i just need some moral support i guess

Good luck!  I'm sure you'll do fine... although why are you anon?

Dude...everybody does it. Just go in there and be like 'yo hit me up with an application bitches!'

JK JK. But just go in and say 'Hi I was wondering if I could get an application?' Or something like that. You'll be in and out in ten seconds and they'll forget you the second you leave...

i felt weird when i started asking for htem too, but they get asked a few times a day so its not a big deal. a lot of places might tell you to apply online.

just ask if they're doing any hiring, then ask for one

Good luck! I'm sure you'll be fine. Just ask for an application. You'll get used to asking.

why are you Anon? are you afraid of being out of work? just go into a place with a HELP WANTED SIGN in it, say

'i saw your help wanted sign, may i have a application?'

thats it. notin to it.

I felt the same way.  What helped me was I brought a friend along and made him ask for me.  ^_^
