Couple days ago I gave my application, resume and cover letter to a movie theater. I'm 16 btw. The lady at the desk took it but the hiring manager was gone when I came. I'm planning on going on Friday to talk to him and try to be persistent. Since he wasn't there to see resume and possibly te lady still didn't give it to him, I want to go in friday but call and make sure he's there so I can talk to him and hand him my resume. I just want him to see my resume in front of me because I've heard of people getting the job when they gave the hiring manager their resume when they first met them and got the interview too.
Is this a good idea to do? I also need to update it bc I joined another club. thank you. sorry if this is a little messy. I'm typing on phone and I'm trying to be quick. also the movie theater is cinemark.
At 16, I didn't have a resume. You are ahead of the game, compared to other 16 year old teens. For a movie theater job, I'm sure the hiring manager would be happy with any person bringing a resume.
Always bring at least two extra copies of your resume. You never know when their copier/printer broke down, or a surprise person comes in on the interview to participate.

I have done hundreds of interviews over many years and we have always had copies of the applicant's resume in hand, provided in advance. Still, you never know, so it's wise to bring a few additional copies with you just in case. One or more of the interviewers may have just forgotten to bring it from their office and you can save them time.
There's more to getting a job than that, but when candidates show up to interviews without copies of their resume, they're viewed as being unprepared.
Good question and I wish you the best of luck.
On the flip side when candidates show up to interviews having ALREADY given a resume to the hiring person, but the hiring person requests it again... well HR is unprepared

Always bring extra resumes. I know someone who, may have, lost out on an important position because she did not bring extra copies of her resume along to the interview (after being assured that everyone on the hiring committee had her resume and all of her information) and somehow there was a mix up and no one had any of her paperwork.
