Your parents are all over you, they might say you're lazy or offer less than helpful tips about things you need to change in oder to land a job. Then there are times they'll mention their friend so and so's son of daughter who's landed a part-time job at the ice cream parlor. At times they might even tell you to just walk into the store, and except you to be employed. Don't be mad they're from a different time, and those times have changed. However take some of what they say to heart. It could help you never know.
Even though you've made all the right steps, you wrote your resume well and it's been checked for those pesky errors. You dress nicely when you deliver it in person, and when you do get an interview. Your handshake is nice and firm and you're using the good manners your parents taught you. Sometimes it just doesn't pan out.
Make sure you never get discouraged or give up. Most things don't come today but next week. Work hard, keep on chipping and you'll land someting eventually. It often takes me a while to land a summer gig, but when I do it's often worth it. I even score some nice clothes or goodies because of a nice employee discount.
Never Give Up!
