Write a resume, even if you think you don't need one.
Dress decently, even if you are just asking around for applications.
Don't apply for jobs you don't want.
When a prospective employer asks you what type of work you're looking for, don't tell them anything. They know for a fact you are lying. There is SOMETHING you are not willing to do.
Be Polite! You never know who you future supervisor is.**
**Story on this: My friend's desk used to be outside her boss's office. Everyone assumed she was the secretary, and usually ignored her, or treated her very rudely. As soon as they either left, or were let into the inner office, she would e-mail/call her boss and let her know what this person is like.
Always be on your best behavior inside, and outside a prospective employer's office.*
*Story on this: We had someone that was not only late for orientation, he also didn't bring his paperwork. He had been referred by someone we trusted, so we were going to give him a second chance UNTIL. UNTIL... He went out in the hallway and started swearing loudly. NO JOKE! Swearing loudly in the hallway between our office and the doctor's office next door. We were so shocked we called our contact that referred him and they appologized profusely and told us they'd let him know he wasn't being considered.
