good observation. its true. there were a bunch of studies done. saying that for us teens it was getting harder and harder to find jobs because older people that were layed of were taking htem. because employers would rather hire an older more experienced person lol. whihc sucks the big one for us kids who need jobs as well. ~pat

pin_it, where is your Yamaha.

When you interview be positive and answer the questions kind of direct, what I mean by that is dont give extra info in your answer. They most want to know what or how you can help the company not what you do on weekends.

Dress well, speek clear and loud enough so they dont have to say "what did you say" or "say again".

If you can find out some things about there company, like some history. This will help you tell them how much of a asset you can be to them.

Good luck and let us know how it went.  
I love this dirt stuff.
