[quote=Anonymous] - Refer to boss as Mr. Mrs. or Ms. - no first name unless told to do so. - Be sure to put any iphone or whatever other electronic toy occupies their day away and "OFF" except perhaps vibrate for emergencies while at work. - If using a computer at work - no using it for facebook, twitter, instagram or whatever or web surfing. One is not paid to do that. - Do not talk to others about what goes on at work that relates to the company or what you may hear or see at all. This is good training for a future real job. - Learn early not to "trash talk" about the boss or other employees because especially if you live in a small community, things can get around. - Again start thinking about what is your "Internet Trail" on any kind of social media and clean it up as fast as you can as much as you can because colleges as well as employers are now checking. - Also, in terms of a job now AND in the future go over again and again about how even one mistake in high school or college years which leads to an arrest can impact job prospects for the future and closeout some fields. A felony of any kind, which some might consider inconsequential such as using a fake ID, driving impaired at a certain level or speed, using drugs even marijuana which can be confusing with the news it is legal some places, but still not in most states can close you out of say nursing or teaching. - Start a resume AND be sure the information put down is truthful and accurate. In an area like DC, security clearances often go back several years and want to know about all jobs and even all addresses anyone has ever lived at including college years so while not necessary for a resume, perhaps for a personal history record. I also know that going for the bar is like this as I have been asked to verify employment of even an academic year limited companion for our youngest daughter with a disability. [/quote]
