I really want a job as a host or a server for Olive Harden. The application I picked up says that they are welcome, but not in lieu of an application. I do plan on filling out the whole application. I was wondering of it would be a good move to include a cover letter and resume? I've only had one other job and I don't want to over do it so I annoy the people that's going to be interviewing me.

Suggestions? Any help is appreciated!

Yes, but keep it short and sweet. Fill out the application neatly and add a couple of references to the resume. That way you can say, "I've attached my resume as well as references." Even if it does not matter to them, it'll show you how it's done right. By the way, a good cover letter can often add to your starting wage right off. Keep that in mind in a couple of years.

As someone who hires lots of people, I can tell you that cover letters and resumes are always very much appreciated and will give you a leg up on the job. In addition, when you apply for the job, be sure to come in after lunch but before dinner (around 3pm), bring your OWN pen, and dress like you are applying for a job at a bank. Good luck!

Yes keep it to one page please .luck

Yes, do a cover letter, let that be the interviewer decision not to use it or not and dress very nice.
