Final answer:

When submitting a job application in person, it is suggested to arrive early, bring necessary documents, be respectful, make eye contact, provide detailed responses, and demonstrate enthusiasm.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Arrive 10 minutes early (or log in 5 mins early)
  2. Bring extra copies of your resume, your business card, a list of your references, pen, paper, and a portfolio of your work if you have one.
  3. Be respectful, polite and personable to everyone in the office.
  4. When you meet your interviewer(s), make eye contact, be friendly, and don't sit until asked to do so. When answering questions, try not to fidget, avoid over-using 'um', ‘ah', and ‘like', maintain eye contact, ask for clarification when necessary and keep your answers succinct.
  5. Provide detailed responses with examples while connecting your skills and experiences to the job.
  6. Demonstrate enthusiasm and a positive attitude while avoiding strong negative words like 'hate', 'dislike', and 'refuse'.

Remember, it's important to make a good impression when submitting a job application in person. Following these suggestions can help ensure that you present yourself in a professional and confident manner.
