All right, so. I am applying for a job vie web application at zumiez (the guy at the store told be that's the only way to apply) And I need to... "indicate skills, experience, or qualifications you have that will aid you in the position(s) you are seeking" and I honestly don't know what to say or how to format it. Help me out? Pleeaase? :D

Skills: I do what I am told, I am organized, I can multi-task well, and I am very good at talking to people.

Experience: none.

Qualifications: I am the fucking chosen one.

yea, this would be my first job. for those of you who don't know, zumiez is a skateboard shop that sells lots of clothes and swag. i want to be like the employee who helps people buy stuff and recommend stuff to and stuff. i think i would be good for this because 1, i have awesome people skills, and 2, i know a lot about skating and can help people pick their shit and what not. so yea...

Say something about your skateboarding experience. A skate shop isn't going to hire someone who seems to not know about skating right?

Skills:Quick learner, organized, excellent multi-tasking skills, exceptional social skills.


Qualifications: Since this is your first job, you don't have any qualifications other than the fact that you're a quick learner.

That's all I got. Oh yeah, if you get an interview, don't curse. Know what you're talking about, and be confident. You know you're right for the job, now make them believe it too.

Chances are low that you actually get to be behind the counter or on the store's floor to sell things. More likely you will be the one who restocks the shelves. After a while(I don't know how long, that's up to Zumiez), you might get the chance of being on the floor to assist customers.

If you haven't seen them already, here (https://www3.apply2jobs.com/Zumiez/HVExt/index.cfm?fuseaction=mHvexternal.showPositions) are the jobs they have available right now. The jobs they would most likely be accepting you for are probably those in the distribution centre, so you won't have the opportunity of being in the store just yet. If you do well there, they might be willing to accept you into store jobs.

I could be wrong, though, and every company does things differently.
