Are You Hiring?

No we aren't.  Would you like to fill out an application?  No, but my husband would. 

How many of you have ever taken someone along on a job hunt?  Say a girlfriend?  Boyfriend?  Wife?  Husband?
Family? 

How many of you have ever asked to fill out an application & not have a writing utensil to complete it only to borrow one from the company you are applying to?

How many of you have applied for a job in a t-shirt, jeans & flip-flops?  Or reeking of cigarette smoke & alcohol? 

Am I just living in an era of days gone by when you put your best foot forward to try and gain a job? 

Would any of you be embarrassed to have your husband/wife to ask for an application for you & inquire of job openings? 

A couple came in - man & woman.  Man was African American and was tatted up (its cool, self expression & all) with tattoos on his neck, face, hat on half-cocked.  His partner was a very large Anglo gal with ill fitting clothes, a gold grill & her under garments were shinning.  She too was inked up very well with marks on her chest & neck.  With them were 2 small children.

I am not the judge & jury for all but if you are applying for a job - even a job at a beer distributor - make an effort.  Just because we sell beer & you want a job doesn't mean you need to come in with a 40 in your hand...
