How to get a job when the company is not hiring

Sometimes it really is possible to be able to get a job even when the company tells you that they are not doing any hiring! Read on and learn how to approach this possibility. This has happened before! You can get hired even if the company tells you that their company is not hiring!

Be sure to apply in person at the company of your choice. Be well groomed of course and do have your resume ready.

Going in for an interview the first thing in the morning is a great way to impress them. Do not go in at lunch time or closing time to apply for a job because they are tired or hungry by then and may not feel like discussing anything with you at all!

Your appearance is very important and it does not matter if you are only applying for a labor job that is dirty or whatever. You must dress as well as you possibly can. It doesn't matter if the job doesn't require dress clothing, wear it for the job interview if at all possible and make sure your that your hair and nails are scrubbed and that you are well groomed. You will get one time to make a great impression only.

Go to the office at the company and request a job application from whoever is at the desk. Once that application is filled out, which is something that you should do right there and then, in their office, be sure to ask the desk person if you can possibly meet with someone in charge of hiring. Let them know that you wish to have a meeting even if they are not currently hiring. If they will not allow you to meet a potential employer, ask them when would a good time be to return for an interview or ask if an appointment could one be arranged for you.

Once you get an appointment for an interview, go to it. If you get that far and do get to talk to someone, give it your best! Do not give them a sad sob story although it is ok to let them know that you really need to get back to work as soon as possible. Express a sincere interest in the type of work they do there and if you know anything about that work at all, be sure to let them know that also!

Please note that if there is anything that does not look good on your application, you may want to try to slip an explanation about that in also at this time. After you have completed putting your best foot forward, shake the person's hand and thank them for the interview. Before you leave, let them know that you do intend to keep in touch just in case anything should become available in the future.

At least once a week from time of the interview on, please stop by the office and check on your application. If you cannot stop by in person, at least give them a call to inquire. Many times this determination and efforts will pay off. They may just get tired of you bothering them and hire you to put an end to that! You never know until you give it a try! Good luck!

Another thing to keep in mind, if you are searching for work in restaurants, consider going in to apply a little before lunchtime. Sometimes, there is a shortage and you could be asked to go to work right then! It has happened to me! Arm yourself with as much information about the company as you possibly can before applying for work at a company that you may know nothing about. It will pay off later!
