Three-part hiring process? Wow. For a fast food restaurant? The job search is very competitive today.
The version I heard was from a past-generation family memberof an executive friend who said he wouldn’t hire someone for adding black pepper to his soup before tasting it.
I’m a woman and can tie long and bow ties, but am not sure I would feel comfortable tying either on a stranger. I would have found a man to help him. That aside, I hope he gets the job. I occasionally eat at the Chick-fil-A close to that Target and hope to see him there. I have shopped at that Target too.
It’s funny how everyone reads something different into a photo. I’ll admit that my first thought was that he’s probably being raised by a churchgoing mother or grandmother.
But maybe we’re all wrong.
Even in grocery stores the ties are clip-on and also tear away. If that thing gets caught in the meat slicer your nose is a goner.
It is amazing to me how casual the business world is becoming. Finance workers and lawyers regularly wear ties. Just about all other industries no longer do.
If the kid shows up on time and cares about his job, he will have a great career with Chick-Fil-A. I grew up with a girl that started to work at McDonald’s just after high school. She was a bright girl that liked to work. At our ten year reunion she was making more $$$ than just about all of us college grads.
Or, maybe we’re all right.
LOL. Possibly...
Another HR scheme to stay relevant that has now become the norm. My son had to go through this a year ago to attain a 30k/yr job as a help desk tech for compant clients. Three separate stages of interviews that also included a personality and a psychological test.
It’s target for goodness sake not a 500 Fortune Company. I am surprised he went through all that trouble quite frankly. Getting a job at Target is about as tough as getting into Community College.
I noticed the same thing when my eldest teenage son was applying for work. And those were applications for min. wage retail jobs. They asked some really strange (and some inappropriate) questions. Some of the questions had my son wondering what exactly goes on at those businesses.
It’s less complicated and easier to get a TS security clearance in the military than it is to apply for even a low wage job in corporate America now.
Yea me too....I didn't even have dress clothes at the time. I was discharged from the Army after three years on 1/17/1972, signed up with the Michigan Unemployment commission and was given my first and only job interview on 2/12/72. I was hired and spent the next 35 years with that employer......
I am humbled and thank you.
FReepers show that they can be sanctimonious and critical of anything.
Safety WOULD be a valid reason for wearing a clip on. However, I’m guessing you didn’t wear a clip on at the interview or the Academy.
I’m getting flamed for this, but (to me) wearing a clip on communicates “I like to take shortcuts”.
Yup. See my last post.
It’s easy to be smart later about these things. But you use an interview to screen people to your best ability.
To me, a clip on tells me the person like to take shortcuts or doesn’t bother to learn the finer points. At least someone with an open collar is being honest.
“To me, a clip on tells me the person like to take shortcuts or doesn’t bother to learn the finer points.”
I see it as efficiency,like the use of Velcro ipo snaps or laces.

You probably never hired any one ever!
