*OnzaMike* Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Turn up on time or early, take everything you think you need, and dont do anything stupid to make you look immature or something. :ermm:, Show interest in the job and stuff like that.

Lawnmowerman Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Always ask before you can sit down, shake hands and introduce yourself. Chat to the other employees :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biketrialler Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Ride in on your beautifully kept, well maintained, shiny bike :ermm: Be keen but not annoyingly intrusive "What brake cables do you use?" would be annoying - they wouldnt employ you because they'd realise they would be stuck with a freak all day!

Tomm Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 always look him/her in the eyes, shows confidence. ← Yup, do that. I am shit at looking people in the eyes when I talk to them. I don't think I'm shy, I just don't like people to think I'm staring. But apparently, you're supposed to look them in the eye. So do that. And don't be a dick.

matthewholdsworth Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 just be friendly and smiley, a LBS survives because of its customer service so if you show that you ar polite and friendly and well kept (important take a shower) they are going to think well of you. show you know your stuff but dont appear too cocky, say your are willing to learn and are a fast learner, and if they mention discount say you had never thought of it but u wanted the job because u really enjoy working with bikes and see it as a constructive use of your time to help fund your interest. its always helpful to know how the air shocks work, you always get one annoying customer who wants to know exactly bout the positive and negative chambers, still wouldnt worry too much bout that good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
