Please help. ):
Okay, so, tomorrow, I am going to call a local t-shirt shop about asking for a job. I was going to just walk in with my portfolio and resume, but then I thought, that might be a little rude and they might be busy; I think I should call ahead and ask about getting a job there.
My question to you guys is... what should I say over the phone? The place is local and in the neighborhood across from mine- the only thing they have on the internet is a phone number and an address; no webpage or store hours or anything. The place is pretty well renowned in the neighborhood- designs like, EVERYTHING for my old highschool and all of the schools underneath it in the district, as well as shirts for the little league in the area- not to mention all of the schools and organizations and little league things across the beltway in Channelview, where the place is actually situated. The place is a vendor for my old high school, and I think I have a real chance for them, because people from my school have been hiring me on for a lot of graphic design jobs, which means they've been missing out. If they hired me on, I would no longer be occasional competition, but part of the team.
But yeah, since the place has NO status online whatsoever, I have no idea what to say over the phone. I'd like to plan it out and write down everything before I call, because I am EXTREMELY nervous over the phone and have been known to make a stuttering ass out of myself because of it. I need to be able to ask them if they would consider hiring somebody else on as a designer, and if yes, may I set up a time to show them my portfolio and resume- keep in mind the credits to my name I just mentioned, as well as the fact that I just graduated with an associates degree in art. ANYTHING you guys more experienced with landing jobs can tell me to say would be totally golden. Thank you so much.
