  • Have a pen (or two)
  • Have copies of your CV or resume
  • Look around the place first as a customer if you can. You might grab the attention of the person who's hiring, who'll be impressed that you have approached them only after some consideration
  • Smile
  • Greet the person you first speak to with a handshake
  • Give your name
  • State your business
  • It might go something like this:

    "Good morning (you offer your hand and smile). My name is John Smith. I'm here to enquire about any job vacancies you might have?"

    Avoid asking to speak to the 'Manager' for 2 reasons:

    1. The person you ask might be the manager (and not happy that it wasn't obvious to you).
    2. The person you ask might not be the manager (but not happy you didn't think so).

    Best not to risk offending anyone!
