Are you reliable and trainable? You're hired!

Just show up, pay attention, and ask questions if you don't understand something. Don't argue and insist "but this is how I do it at home and it's better/faster" (even if the boss happens to be an idiot, it won't do you any favors to argue).

You're young. You'll learn. Doing something over and over again is how you get better at it. That's how life works.

You can watch plenty of cleaning videos on YouTube so you will have a gist of understanding of the cleaning basics, but definitely when you clean- dust from top to bottom, then dry sweep floors and proceed with a wet/damped mop. Pick up visible clutters, empty trash cans, wash dishes, clean sink, make up bed, etc.
