My store is hiring for seasonal help. Minimum age for hire? 16 years old. These kids have never had a job, let alone filled out an application.
The following is a list of What Not To Do.
1 It's, Last name, First name, Mid. initial. If you don't have that right we don't read the rest of it
2 If you object to the drug test just stop and save us both the time
3 "I was to cool too work at the movie theater, so I quit."
4 "Do I have to put down my last job? My old boss still has that restraining order on me."
5 "Can only work Monday 11am-12am"
6 Do not put your best friend down as a reference "cause he's known me since 5th grade"
7 Do not put your girlfriend down as a reference
8 Or your Mommy
9 Or Daddy
10 Yes you do have to put your Social Security # we need it for the background check
11 Hitting on me will get your app. filed in the wastebasket
12 Yes we can ask if you are a legal resident of the U.S. (especially with all the new laws)
13 Don't turn in the app. and then buy a weed piggy bank so you can "save up for your next *trip*"
14 Don't show up for the interview stoned
15 Don't leave a "personal" greeting for your boyfriend as your voicemail message
16 Don't black out your mistakes on your app. with a sharpie
17 Your app. should not look like your dog tried to eat it
18 It should not look like you used it as a napkin at lunch either
19 No we will not pay you $10.50 as a sales associate
20 No we will not hire you if you have an assault charge
21 No it doesn't matter that "he needed a beating"
22 Do not tell me the store is "lame"
23 Do not look around and then say: "it's obvious you need the extra help"
24 Do not give me a suggestion list of things that need fixing in the store
25 Do not give me a list of "demands"
26 You are 16 and have never had a job before. I am 30 and have been in retail for 15 years, and would be your future boss. Keep those facts in mind.
27 Do not say that you heard the new manager was a bitch
28 Especially if you are speaking to the new manager
29 Do not get caught shoplifting in the store you are applying to
30 Don't say you need Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off because it would cut into your party time
Any one else have some "Do Not's"?
