YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE EXCEPT UNEMPLOYMENT

From the desk of Bithe U Handoff PhD Dr Handoff is a world known expert in hunting down and sniffing out employment trends and clues in the Entry Level Job Market of 2014 According to statistical evidence supplied by the US Department of Labor Back-to-School is the best opportunity to secure either full-time andor part-time employment and that those hired during the back-to-school period have a three times greater chance of retaining a position after the holidays The reality is of this lies in the transient nature of retail employment and the occupationrsquos summer demographics Over the coming weeks retail

stores across the valley are set to lose a large percentage of their workers Remember all those rude teenagers who ran the stores all summer long Well in the next couple of weeks they will be gone Historyhellipdisappeared They are all going back to school and most local stores will be empty of most sales associates and cashiers ndash especially in the mornings and for most of the day The Used Job Shack is going to run a special job book issue on Big Store Retail and Back-to-School This will be a good reference tool to use because of the ldquoUsed Job Shack Insiderrdquo Columns for each store The Insider is a collect of people who have already gone to the interview been hired and have selected to share the experience with youhellipakahellipwhat questions were askedhellipwhat you need to know for the interview andor just the structure of the hiring decision httpwwwlinkedincomgroupsAuntie-Sue-Uncle-Bobs-USED-4550443trk=my_groups-b-grp-v

NOT REAL PROFESSOR

HIRING ldquoBACK-TO-SCHOOLrdquo PALOOZA PT 2 Dr Handoff went on to say ldquoWhen you think about back-to-school you think of big and small retail stores (like we did in last weekrsquos Back-to-School PT 1) If you start and end you thoughts there you are really missing the dynamics of this labor market and this could cost you the opportunity to return to workrdquo Dr Handoff states that almost every service industry employer seeks out and recruits student labor They do this because this segment of the labor market is known for accepting any type of labor conditions and is (even better) known for accepting even the lowest wage without the need of benefits Furthermore according to Dr Handoffrsquos research here in the Arizona Labor Market this hiring practice allows employers to generate maximum profits with only minimum exposures to labor lose

========================================= From the desk of Yusuf Whatzcat PhD Dr Whatzcat is a well know labor market researcher who is most remembered for his 2012 study on economic non-viability of cats in the American Labor Market

Dr What catrsquos most recent survey of the local service economy shows that due to the industryrsquos hiring paradigm the labor shortage created by the yearly Back-to-School transition period many seemingly unrelated segments of the retail economy fall victim to a critical labor shortage as the employers lose their short-term transitional employee base

Across the board from mid-July to mid-August every segment of the retail economy faces the need to replace the students who are in the process of returning to school Dr Whatzcat concludes that this is the best window of opportunity for job seekers to enter the retail labor market ldquoThis is a short window of massive hiring events that have traditionally spun out of control to where you have respectable seniors battling other job seekers for a place in the long employment lines Dr Whatzcat offers the suggestion to start applying in the weeks before Back-to-School to avoid crowds ============================================================

WHAT I LEARNED THIS WEEKhellip THE BS FACTOR IN YOUR APPLICATION ldquoThe best advice that I can give your applicants is to stay within 5 miles of their neighborhood (85008) in central the Phoenixairport areahellipas this is your search golden

local zonehellipI love to hear that an applicant lives right down the streethellipmy ears perk uphelliprdquo Talked to a retail manager of a big box store today and she educated me on the interview process She told me that the FATAL ldquoYou shot yourself in the footrdquo mistake(s) that an applicant makes arehellip

FACTOR ONE The BS Factor comes from applying for stores that are a long way from your home location The BS is that the employer knows that it is BS that you will or that you can travel to their location on a daily basis without missing days or running late (especially if you are on a bus)

Within 5 miles the bus is reliable transportation after that it is an excuse to being late or being absent This manager tells me that this is so common with all of her stores ldquoyour application is not reviewed unless they are totally desperate ldquo Her suggestion is that if you keep in the 5-10 mile range The Manager told me that she really likes to hear that ldquoI just live down the streetrdquo as this tells her that you are more likely to be on time and that you will have the flexibility to stay late or come in on your day with short notice She said that might not be fair but that is the reality of the retail market

FACTOR TWO (I never thought about this but now it makes sense) the second biggest reason that she does not call people is because they applied for multiple openings at her store According to her (and echoed by other managers) this is a real negative and usually means that she will not waste time with you The impression that the applicant makes is that they are willing to do anything usually means that they are desperate for employment and that they are just applying for things whether or not they really qualifies for them She says that this wastes her time trying to figure out what you want to do when you grow up and as she is busy running the store to take that much time on any one candidate Most importantly she says that it shows her that you really do not have a specific interest or worse yet (if the application is a mess ndash incomplete rushed and hard-to-read andor lacks details or doesnrsquot relate to the skills that she is looking for) you donrsquot care To her the application represents you at your best and she judges it as such

Her suggestion is to read the job descriptions and determine which job is a perfect fit for your skills (you need to do this as she doesnrsquot have the time or interest to do) and then apply for that job

She said that you must complete the application with an emphasis on the skills abilities or experience that is requested in the ad She said that this should be your base to build a case that she needs to call you in for an interview The application must be neat and easy for her to read (sloppy applications are tossed as they take too much time to figure out) Remember to her this is your very best and sloppiness is a sign that you really didnrsquot want this job She told me that it is critical that you show her that you have the skills that she needs and that you need to show how your experience (outside of the specific job you applied for) related to the specific job you applied for She said you need to show the connection She said that is your job not herrsquos as she has a job and she ended the thought by saying that she isnrsquot Colombo Put this all together and you have an application that will impress her enough to call you If not try again in six months ndash as that is how long they keep them on file

She also warned about putting in multiple applications with slightly different names as her companyrsquos computer will catch and flag them as bogus If you application is flagged then the system will delete it any further applications from you ndash which means you wasted your time On a final note she told me that applications that look like the applicant took the time made the effort to do correctly and that are to the point are the ones that she sits aside and takes a second longer look at before she calls Better have a good number where she can reach you at She told me that this is her biggest complaint about applicants because a bad number or your failure to promptly return her call will cost you a job Further to this point she said that she assumes you really wanted the job or you wouldnrsquot have applied and she cannot understand people whose voice mail is full or not

Costco Pays Employees Double What Other Companies Dohellip

Cesar Martinez a 37-year-old fork lift operator has worked at a Costco in North California for 19 years He makes $2282 an hour gets health benefits and a pension plan He manages to save and doesnt worry about hospital bills for his daughter who suffers from asthma Thats the reason why Ive been here for so long he said The company gives you a decent wage and treats you with respect and takes care of you Thats why we all give 100 Research shows that it pays to pay employees well because satisfied workers are more productive and motivated according to MIT Sloan School of Management professor Zeynep Ton who focuses on operations management How many times have you gone to a store and the shelves are empty or the checkout line is too long or employees are rude she said At Costco you see a huge line that disappears in minutes The productivity translates into sales she said According to Tons research sales per employee at Costco were almost double those at Sams Club its direct warehouse competitor owned by Wal-Mart

Costco CEO RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE TO MORE THAN $10HR

President Barack Obama wants to raise the federal minimum wage to $9 per hour And the CEO of one of Americas largest retailers says such a move would be good for workers and businesses alike In fact he says raise it even more On Tuesday Costco CEO and President Craig Jelinek came out in support of the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013 which aims to raise the federal minimum wage to $1010 per hour and then adjust it after that for inflation At Costco we know that paying employees good wages makes good sense for business Jelinek said in a statement We pay a starting hourly wage of $1150 in all states where we do business and we are still able to keep our overhead costs low An important reason for the success of Costcorsquos business model is the attraction and retention of great employees Jelinek added Instead of minimizing wages we know its a lot more profitable in the long term to minimize employee turnover and maximize employee productivity commitment and loyalty We support efforts to increase the federal minimum wage Costco has a reputation for paying its employees above market rate with the typical worker earning around $45000 in 2011 according to Fortune Walmart-owned Sams Club in contrast pays its sales associates an average of $17486 per year =========================================================== Costco also provides health insurance to a significantly larger percentage of its workers than does Walmart the Harvard Business Review reported in 2006 Jelineks predecessor Costco founder Jim Sinegal has also expressed support for raising the federal minimum wage in the past The more people make the better lives theyre going to have and the better consumers theyre going to be Sinegal told

the Washington Post in 2007 Its going to provide better jobs and better wages Not all business leaders agree with Jelinek about the minimum wage Subway CEO Fred Deluca for one told CNBC last week that raising the minimum wage is a bad idea that will cause franchisees to raise prices About three in four Americans support raising the minimum wage according to a recent poll

Costco application online James Sinegal and Jeffery Brotman opened the first Costco Warehouse in 1983 Located in Seattle Washington the pair had come from a long line of wholesale and retail Sinegal had worked in wholesale for both FedMart and Price Club and while Brotman was a lawyer his family had been in retail for years The company operates on a membership bases similar to that of Samrsquos Club Customers pay a yearly fee to shop there but get to take advantage of wholesale pricing Today Costco is the largest membership warehouse club chain in the United States with over 140000 employees and 584 stores worldwide They also have around 55 million members worldwide

President Barack Obama wants to raise the federal minimum wage to $9 per hour And the CEO of one of Americas largest retailers says such a move would be good for workers and businesses alike In fact he says raise it even more On Tuesday Costco CEO and President Craig Jelinek came out in support of the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013 which aims to raise the federal minimum wage to $1010 per hour and then adjust it after that for inflation At Costco we know that paying employees good wages makes good sense for business Jelinek said in a statement We pay a starting hourly wage of $1150 in all states where we do business and we are still able to keep our overhead costs low An important reason for the success of Costcorsquos business model is the attraction and retention of great employees Jelinek added Instead of minimizing wages we know its a lot more profitable in the long term to minimize employee turnover and maximize employee productivity commitment and loyalty We support efforts to increase the federal minimum wage Costco has a reputation for paying its employees above market rate with the typical worker earning around $45000 in 2011 according to Fortune Walmart-owned Sams Club in contrast pays its sales associates an average of $17486 per year =========================================================== Costco also provides health insurance to a significantly larger percentage of its workers than does Walmart the Harvard Business Review reported in 2006 Jelineks predecessor Costco founder Jim Sinegal has also expressed support for raising the federal minimum wage in the past The more people make the better lives theyre going to have and the better consumers theyre going to be Sinegal told

the Washington Post in 2007 Its going to provide better jobs and better wages Not all business leaders agree with Jelinek about the minimum wage Subway CEO Fred Deluca for one told CNBC last week that raising the minimum wage is a bad idea that will cause franchisees to raise prices About three in four Americans support raising the minimum wage according to a recent poll

The only deal maker or breaker here is Havebe obtaining a HSGED and do Ten Key Ten Key for those who donrsquot know what that is It is using a calculator a computer or a ledger to enter numbers TIPSTER Did I ask you how many times that you did these things Did I ask if that was the primary focus of the job Did I ask for a breakdown of how much of your day was spent doing these

Another word of advice -- DRESS PROFESSIONALLY The number of people who showed up dressed in jeans a t-shirt andor beat up sneakers was appalling One woman was even wearing a wife beater I was one of maybe 3 people dressed at least business casual Odds are dressing appropriately WILL make you stand out among the rest I got lucky and got my two interviews (first with bakery managers then with GM) back to back in the same day The questions are pretty easy but some are oddly specific luckily I was allowed to swap for a different question if I couldnt come up with an answer Basically if you put a smile on your face and can keep up a good rapport theres not much that can go wrong I thought itd be smooth sailing from there because they said theyd call me back for a drug test It ended up taking them forever to call me back When they finally did it would be bad timing and theyd have to leave a voicemail and Id call back only to be redirected to 3 different people before someone could give me a straight answer -- it was like playing a game of phone tag before I could get through to the person I had to talk to But I finally did receive my drug test got a background check and went through orientation Interview Questions

I skipped the second interview because the managers felt comfortable with me Just be yourself and you should be fine Humor is important as well I was able to make them smile and laugh The third interview is just a detailed description of the job duties and what to expect and they will ask you if you accept the job I took the drug test that day and signed papers This process took only 2 days Interview Question ndash There was no difficult or unexpected question because I went in prepared and practiced most of the answers at home The questions are pretty much all listed on this website Also if you know nothing about Costco be sure to do your homework on it before the first interview ==================================================== httpcareersstaplescomkey-hiring-areasveterans-program

SPECIAL AZ MILLS JOB EDITION AZ MILLS MALL JOB SEARCH GUIDE

httpwwwslidesharenetfredgwest199926-sept-2013 THERE ARE OVER 20000 PEOPLE WHO WORK AT AZ MILLSrsquo STORES At any given time there 10-15 of these jobs are unfilled or the stores are trying to fill

That means that there are 200-300 openings available on any given time Tracking down these jobs is very time consuming and luck plays a large part of your AZ Mills Job search

Most retail stores (180 in AZ Mills) all have the same standard NO FRAUDS THEFT NO VIOLENT CRIMES NOR SOrsquos Others will be reviewed based upon the age nature of the crime and if it related to the job applied for

The lazy job seeker (The least likely to find work) will wait until they see a random advertisement or wait till someone tells you about an opening This is easy simple but very ineffective and a waste of valuable time

By the time you learn about any opening you are at the back of the line and it is a very long line

The shy job seeker They may start calling stores (usually at random) and ask the same question over and over again until the tire or run out of minutes on their phone ndash whichever comes first They will ask ldquoARE YA HIRINGrdquo This is ineffective at best because they are calling people who do NOT know them and who are many times too busy to take the time to talk to someone they do NOT knowhellipthe standard answer is ldquoApply onlinerdquo or ldquojust ldquoNohellipthanks for callingrdquo Remember it is very easy to say no over the phone than it is to say no in person

The shy but bold computer job seeker They will try to find the stores online and apply and apply but with 180 stores they will tire and fade fast as this is VERY time consuming Even if they do all 180 stores they still are not much closer to getting a job than they were before they started WHY

Many retail managers Unless the hiring is done by a corporate recruiter instead of the store manager will NOT take the time to go through the 50-10 new applications that they get every day

Small business owners and retail managers put much value on face-to-face meetings and put even more value upon in a person who was interested enough to present themselves in person The go in person approach shows that you are motivated and that you are really interested in working for them

THE SUCCESSFUL JOB SEEKER WILL TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS A Take a day trip out to AZ Mills Mall Start early Make sure that you can get

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER This is a complicated process of having to do an online application before you get to look at actual openings

It might be better to first contact the store to see what positions are open and to do a little face-to-face networking to jumpstart this process

Sales Associate at Payless Shoe Source - Accepted Offer Interview Details ndash I applied online After two days I called in to inform them that I applied online They took my name and number down and said they would call me the next day I waited the next day no call Four days later I got a voice mail asking if they could interview me I called them and told them that I had school during those hours and we rescheduled When I came to the store for my interview the manager was out on lunch I waited about 10 minutes before she came back While I was waiting I had a conversation with one of the workers She said she likes working at payless After 10 minutes the manager took me to the back and told me a lot about herself She seemed really nice She then proceeded with asking me question that was pre-printed for her She told me that she has interviewed a number of people and she hoped I was the one She told me she would call me if I was hired or not After 2 weeks she called me asking if I can take a drug test I told her I would She then told me that she would call me the next day to tell me where to take my drug test The next day she didnrsquot call Weeks later she called provided the information I passed the test and 5 days later she called me for training INTERVIEW QUESTION ndash

bull What is the biggest mistake you have made in your previous job

bull How did you handle it Negotiation Details ndash The most negotiating we did was about working on Sundays She said that if I were to get hired I would need to work at least one Sunday a month I agreed ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Associate at Payless Shoe Source - Accepted Offer Interview Details ndash Filled out an application online it was very confusing and time consuming I received a phone call for an interview about 1 month later The interview was very straight forward Be prepared to go through a selling role-play Interview Question ndash

WITH OFFICE MAX ON-LINE IS THE SECOND STEPhellip This is in your neighborhood Go Old School on them Do your homework dress in non-jeans and a polo shirt (if you have if you dontnever mind still go - after you get the job you can buy better clothes) Impress them with how much you want to work there Show up in the early AM or between 2-4PM to introduce yourself

Introduce yourself to anyone in the management team and write down their name ASK IF YOU COULD TALK TO A MANAGER ABOUT UPCOMING OPENINGSrdquo IS THE WRONG WAY TO ASK YOU FIRST QUESTION

Asking for a manager is the nuclear option in any retail or service industry venuehellip Sales staff are trained and instructed to get the manager as only a last resorthellipThey will do almost anything to keep you away from the manager So to ask for a manager will take your job seeking trip in a disastrous path Insteadhelliptry thishellip ldquoI live in the neighborhood and I just finished your online application and I thought that I would stop by and introduce myselfhellipWould ANYONE have a few minutes to talk me about upcoming openingsrdquo

Also the sales clerk wouldnt know the answer to that and you can NOT be shut down with a NO has this question requires a manager - and if they are available (early AM or mid-afternoon they usually are) you are talking directly to one of the people who can hire you on the spot Think about that talking to someone who (if they are impressed) hire you on the spot and you are talking directly to them WOW This cuts out all of the middle steps and the days of waiting by the phone They will tell you to apply online Write the names of the person(s) who you talk to as you will need that later Go home and use Rule Number Four to make a killer application transfer that info into your resume so you have a killer resume for the job(s) you talked to the manager about Call them back and let them know you completed the task and (without pause or taking a breath) ask them if they could please pull your application and (againwithout pause or taking a breath) ask them when you can come see them

INTERVIEW ROUND 1 I had my phone interview with the Team Leader a few days later It was more of a get-to-know-you than anything else Questions were

bull Why Target bull Tell me about a time you had to work in a team bull Tell me about a time when you had multiple projects due at

the same time I passed the phone interview and scheduled an in-person interview for the beginning of the next week INTERVIEW ROUND 2 I arrived about 5 minutes early and took a very very simple personalitymath test If you got through all of the application you should have absolutely no trouble with this Then I was shown to the employee area for an interview After being directed to wait in the break room for a little bit an Executive Team Leader took me to their office and interviewed me In addition to the questions above I was also asked a lot of STAR questions including

bull A woman is looking for a shoe for her son but the right size isnt on the shelf What would you do

bull Youre ringing up a customer and an item rings up at $1999 but the customer swears the price was $1899 what would you do

After that I was taken to wait in the break room once again This time a person from HR came to get me took me to their office and offered me the job - conditional on passing a drug test at a lab and a background check (IMPORTANT The drug test has to be done within 24 hours so plan accordingly) Signed the paperwork and I was hired ---------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer Interview Details ndashIt was overall very typical but very friendly They ask about your previous jobs school goals etc They also will give you three scenarios they want you to answertalk about I remember one question they asked was when was the last time you received amazing service and what made it amazing Interview Question ndashNone of them were difficult just be honest and keep your cool

Assistant Manager - I applied online and the process took 3 days Interview Details ndash First off you have to go through a background check and a company checklist through their system Once a potential applicant passes that then they will be called in for an interview This can take a few weeks but most dont Once in the interview the store manager and or the district manager will ask you your experience and what make this job for you Almost always they will try to get to know you on a personal level in order to see if you would fit in the Gap culture Usually it means that you need to be upbeat happy and willing to learn although most managers have different standards If you are there for more than a half an hour then this is a good thing Once that interview and if the district manager is not present you will probably be called back to do a second interview usually over the phone as they are busy Interview Question ndash

bull From coming in this store today what would you change to make this store even better than it is now

Interview Question ndash How do you keep up with fashion if at all --------------------------------------------------- Seasonal Sales Associate - I applied online and took 2 weeks Interview Details ndash I got a call shortly after applying asking if I was interested in an interview at the location The interview turned out to be a small group interview and the mood was very relaxed The hiring manager was young and could easily relate to the applicants (all less than 25 yo) The questions were pretty straightforwardgenerally what I expected Emphasized my proven ability to be a team player based on participation in sports Was also careful to smile for the majority of the interview - I think that really helped based on the orientation videos that repeatedly tell you to smile Overall it was an easy interview - everyone there was hired Interview Question ndash Nothing too surprising
