While many firms prefer that job seekers apply through email or the company's website, some accept walk-in applications. This is particularly true for retail outlets and restaurants, which often retain paper versions of their application forms on hand. Some even do live interviews. When applying in person, you must put your best foot forward, just as you would for a formal interview. Even if employers do not speak with you at the time, they will have developed an opinion based on how you presented yourself.

Request the Manager

Instead of asking the first person you meet about employment prospects, ask to talk with the manager or find out who is in charge of hiring. Other personnel may be unaware of any opportunities or may be too busy to address your queries, and you may be turned down. A manager, on the other hand, can tell you how many positions are available and how the recruiting process works. He may even do an interview with you straight immediately. Call ahead of time and ask for the manager's name to maximize your chances of seeing him in person. If you just ask for "the manager," staff may mistake you for a salesman and inform you that the manager is unavailable.

Hello and good afternoon. I'd want to chat with your boss, Jane Doe, about possible work prospects. I phoned earlier this morning.

Please introduce yourself

Introduce yourself immediately away to establish a personal connection. Because the first person you meet may be the manager, it is critical to portray confidence and develop rapport on your first meeting. You display your friendliness and personability by introducing yourself and shaking hands with everyone you meet. Tell them your first and last name, as well as your profession, if appropriate to the job you're applying for.

For instance: My name is Alex Hernandez. I have seven years of experience as a restaurant chef. I'd want to learn more about your head chef position at the resort.

Obtain an Application

Get directly to the topic, particularly if you know the organization is recruiting or accepting applications on a regular basis. It is critical to take the initiative. However, requesting an application demonstrates that you understand the company's employment procedure and allows you to avoid the "gatekeepers" who may blow you off rather than taking the time to address your queries.

Example:

Thank you for submitting your application. Right now, I'm going to fill it. Before I go, I'd want to introduce myself to the management.

Describe Your Qualifications

If you are given the opportunity to talk with the manager in person, prepare a brief pitch that explains your credentials and why you want to work for the organization. Instead of providing your whole work history, focus on a handful of your most remarkable credentials and previous employers. Select just those that demonstrate how you're qualified for the job you're looking for. Furthermore, explain why you're applying and how it fits into your long-term professional goals.

Example:

I recently phoned the business and was pleased by the helpful customer service representatives and the speed with which my transaction was completed. I've been seeking for a job where customer service is a primary concern.
