I am still fairly new at the "Store Manager" position but I can tell you that it is all about what you put on that application. I get ignorant ass (or so they seem on paper) people applying for positions.

i.e... a guy came in to apply (back when we had paper applications) and instead of him filling out the application, he just wants to attach his resume. So he asked to speak to a hiring manager. He handed me the app and said he was truly interested. I looked at the BLANK app and told him to fill it out. This dumb fucker said "I attached my resume." I told him that he still had to fill out the app. He got mad and said that 'I' was waisting 'his' time and that all that info is on his resume. I told him to "keep it moving" LOL what an idiot.

Then you get the people that think that they can SLIDE through the background process. I tell them that we do background checks and they still apply knowing they have a HELLAFIDE list of felonies and shit.

I can go on for days with some of my adventures in hiring.. The best advice I can give (and also something I am trying to instill in my 16yr old neice) is keep it professional. Sell yourself (don't over do it) because sometimes the only thing you are in front of someone is a black and white piece of paper.
