Whether you’re applying for a managerial position at a bank or a cashier position at Taco Bell, professionalism is usually expected from all parties. When you apply for any job, you should portray yourself in a way that convinces the employer that they HAVE to hire you.
18-year-old The worst way possible for Megan Dixon to learn is that life doesn’t always follow protocol and that you’re sometimes probably better off not getting the job. When Megan Dixon applied for a job as a waitress at a steakhouse called Miller and Carter, she was not unlike many other young adults looking to earn money outside of school.

And hopefully, the steakhouse discovered how important it is to uphold certain manners when interviewing managers.
