(If you want to cut to the chase about the jobs, skip first two paragraphs, because I know I ramble. ;D)

Hey guys! How are you all doing today? I'm doing pretty darn good - for the past 6 days or so I've really been watching my eating habits. I'm never going to lose these few extra pounds if I don't work for it, obviously. I've only been eating 3 meals a day, and not over-eating; just eating enough so that I'm comfortable. No snacking inbetween, and if I do I make sure it's not junk.

I've also been doing 50 crunches each day to help tone up my belly area. Now I think I'm able to move up to 60 crunches. I'm also going to try to do some squats, and I do 20 stretches to each side along with some lifting small weights... or rather, some heavy books that I have, because I don't have weights. ;D


So that's that, I'm doing good! What's really important about this journal is the fact that I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a possible first-time job. I'm 16 years old, so I can finally start looking. I'd like some tips and I have questions.


1) How do you guys look for your jobs? Do you go online, do you go into the place and ask if they're hiring, or do you call? Or maybe all three or just two of them?

2) If you call there, is there a specific person you have to ask for? The manager, maybe? Or do you just call up and ask whoever's there if they're hiring?

3) Tell me about your first job experience. Was it difficult for you or did you find it really fun?

4) What kind of job is more fun for you - working at a restaraunt, a store, or whatever else?

5) If you want, tell me about some nice or funny stories from being at work. ^^


Thanks a lot for helping. I'll need to feel confident about this first. I know I have to be persistent and to present myself very maturely and just be myself. I feel confident that I could do an interview pretty well, but I need to do first things first by actually LOOKING for places. ;D

Thanks! :3
