Fred’s Answer

Think about where you might want to work. Consider the hours, the pay, the kind of work, the location, etc. Think about how much you can work. Be honest with yourself.

Then, go apply. Apply to several places. Many places let you apply online, but otherwise, go in, dress well, and ask for an application. Take it home (or somewhere NOT in the store), fill it out, and return it. Be honest with all your answers to everything.

Next, hope you get an interview. If so, show up on time (even a few minute early). Dress well. Be polite. Talk. Have a reason in mind why you would be a good fit for that location. Ask questions about the job, the hours, what the expectations are, but don't ask how much money you will make.

Thank them for their time, and say something like "I look forward to hearing from you".

That's really all there is to it. You repeat this as necessary until you find a job.
