Questions and Advice


Dear Mel,


I love going to this one coffee shop, and I would love to work there but I do not know if they are hiring. How do I ask them professionally if they would interview me?

I have all the answers for this question! I will even provide you with a sample script in case you freeze up (because sometimes that just happens, especially if you haven't had any coffee yet)
