Donating YT 500 Club Member | Ah, I'm seeing now you don't HAVE the interview yet. You say your friend has talked to the boss... I would dress nice but not so formally then, stop by and ask to see the boss. Introduce yourself. Tell the boss "My friend XXXX may have mentioned to you that I am very interested in working for you. I thought I would come by and introduce myself." She/He will probably tell you then whether or not they are actually looking for anyone. Be polite and gracious in either case and be sure to thank them for their time! |

| Good luck to you. My 16 year old son is trying to find a job also. He just got a cast off his arm (broken wrist) so he is wanting to find something too.

| I've been working since I was 14, so it seems like its been forever since my first job...but in this situation, I would make sure you dress professionally, but not too dressed up, because in a daycare situation, the owner will need to be able to see that if your clothes get thrown up on, peed on, etc, they won't be ruined.

| I have a 2nd job substituting at a day care (infant through preschool) When I went in for my interview I wore jeans and a regular plain colored shirt, and sneakers of course! I think they are interested in seeing the 'real' you. Just be yourself, smile a lot, and let the director at the center know you are really interested in the job. Don't wear low-cut or v-neck shirts and make sure when you bend down that your back doesn't show. I know that is a major issue with the way they make jeans these days. Always wear sneakers. I know at my center they frown upon flip flops or sandals that may make you trip. And you can imagine how terrible that would be if you were holding a baby! You will do fine. Make sure you mention all of your experience with children. Let us know how it goes!

| I work in HR at a hospital. I don't like to see body piercings (except for ears). Wear slacks and a nice top. No freaky colored hair. Go to the daycare and say you were in the area and stopped by to introduce yourself and fill out an application. Tell them of your experience in babysitting and most of all --- smile!!!

| I worked at a daycare for 3 years. Now I currently work at a Montessori School. It is great, and the children are so amazing! I love your enthusiasm, and wish you the best of luck! |
