Once you've answered a question, really listen to the next question. Fry adds that you shouldnt worry too much if all of your prepared questions have been covered. "When I went in for my interview at Reams, my boss asked me what my shoe size was, and then he asked me about the hard-"ething I have ever done on my computer, said Cole Meldrum, a working Layton High student who will be a senior next fall. When the interview is over. Fry suggests thanking the interviewer for his or her time. The interviewer should tell you at that time when he or she will let you know if you have gotten the job.

If the idea of getting away from the family for the summer is your number-onpriority, there may actually be a way. One of the greatest advantages to living in the West is our easy access to several national parks and n small resort towns that become flooded with tounsts during the summer. Lois of tourists means ihe small shops and restaurants within the parks have a desperate need for extra help. These employees will almost always provide living arrangements for the many employees, and on your day s off you get the chance to explore the wonders of Yellowstone, Teton NationaL Zion or Bryce Canyon with other teens from around the country who are as adventurous as you.
