- Fill out the application form properly. Keep in mind that companies that offer part-time positions often receive huge piles of job applications. So, for your application to land at the top of the pile, you have to make sure that you fill out your application form properly. See to it that you provide specific and complete answers to the questions listed on the form. And try to sensationalize your credentials by including accurate details of your succees and career accomplishments. This way, you can increase your likelihood of reaching the interview stage, especially if the hiring manager finds that you are fit for the vacant position.
- Be versatile. To stay ahead of your competitors, see to it that you inform the hiring manager when you are available to work, and be as flexible as possible. Always remember that most employers today hire individuals who can work nights and weekends. So, plan your schedule ahead of time and make yourself available to work based on the preferred schedule of your target employer.
- Leave a good impression. Always remember that to make a lasting impression on a prospective employer, you have to be well-prepared and properly dressed for your interview, even though it will only be for a part-time position. To do this, you need to research about the most common questions raised during part-time job interviews and try to come up with your own answers. When it comes to your attire, see to it that you choose clothes that will make you look professional. Both men and women are encouraged to wear suits with matching shirts or blouses, pants or skirts, and of course, leather shoes. You should also pay close attention to your personal grooming. Make sure that your hair, face, hands and nails are clean and neat. You also need to mind your manners. To do this, you should:
- greet the interviewer and address him or her properly,
- wait until you are instructed to take a seat,
- listen attentively to each question,
- answer the interview questions honestly and confidently, and
- end the interview with a firm handshake.
