Tips on applying for jobs Thread

Just wondering if anyone has any good tips on the best way to look for florist positions. There doesn't seem to be a lot being advertised, so I am thinking about going from shop to shop. Do I just take my resume? Is this worthwhile? What should I be asking and doing? Is it acceptable to email my resume, or should I visit every florist in person?
I have never had to go looking for work before! Your help would be most appreciated

I do have to agree. The best way to be known is to approach as many florists as you can. You may want to ring them first to see if there is an appropriate time to introduce yourself and show off as many photos of your work. Some florists maybe busy, and may not have the time to sit and chat with you. Over the years most of my jobs were face to face introduction and leaving a resume and examples of my work. Keep on trying and don't get disheartened if you get a few knock backs. Best of luck....
