Job help

WHAHOO! I just walked up to a fireplace store 60 meters from my house and walked out with a job. Took me 5 minuites. I am 14. I am amazed that i did it. It took me the entire morning to work up to walking in the door. I walked in, he asked me if i could use a computer, ebay, and cleaning equipment. I can. The only thing i said when he asked me about requirements was that i liked my tasks to be put into a list. That was awesome. Anybody have any good job advice for me? Its my first.

Congratulations! I am always glad to see young people with intuitive. Now just be there every day, on time. Pay attention to what your told and do the very best job that you can. It really is just common sense. Remember, doing your best will benefit you.

Since its a store, I assume even if you aren't working as a salesperson (you mentioned computers and cleaning) you'll probably have to talk to customers at some points. If you aren't good with talking to customers, then what you could do is listen to what your coworkers say around the customers and develop a script based on what they're saying. Me being an aspie i was horrible at talking to customers when i first started. I work as a cashier. I learned by watching my coworkers. When you're new people are generally really nice and helpful, especially cause your young (or in my case i look young when i'm actually in my twenties!). I do have one question though....where do you live? Cause where i live in the U.S. its illegal for a fourteen year old to work.

I live in michigan. All i need is a permit to work. I may not be able to do social stuff but if i am ever asked to deal with a customer i have one thing i am good at, talking about things i like. and fire is one of them. If i like the product i can talk anyone to death about it.

I got outstanding help from a probable aspie at an electronics store. All facts, no sell: perfect way to sell to me. The NT I was with reacted similarly. It's refreshing to have requests for information be treated as simple Q&A.

Show up on time, every time, is the only thing I can think of.

Congratulations on the job!

My Pa once told me not to focus on the money, focus on the job and doing well and the money will follow.

Always be on time to your job, don't call in sick unless you're actually sick, let your boss know a week or two in advance if you need off for something like a doctor's appointment, and do your job while at work and rest on the breaks. Some small employers like that also appreciate it if you do little extra things to help them, like maybe some research or organizing things they have trouble finding. I am currently winning favors at work for making spreadsheets to do lots of time-saving calculating.
