The owners of the last place I went to yesterday weren't there so their cashier just took my application and said he would put in a good word. I used all of my resumes that I had printed out so I couldn't turn one in with this application. The cashier said the owners would be there all day today. So should I go back, introduce myself to the owner's and give them my resume. Or should I call first and let them know that I'll be coming in if they have time? I don't want to seem overbearing and a nuisance to them.

It's worth a shot to go in and see if they are there to introduce yourself. You may feel like you're being too overbearing, but to employers it can show commitment and drive. A phone call could work, but face-to-face contact wins every time. Good luck!

Plus with the cashier, you never know, if they'll actually give in your resume.

The more committed you are, the more you'll stand out. Everyone I talked to told me that I needed to bug them, and call them. What i'd do is just pop in. No one likes answering the phone at the restaurant that I work at, and hopefully the owners or a manager will be there. The owners are usually around before 2 in the afternoon. Hope that helps
