I was good friends with the assistant manager at a local convenience store at one time and he told me how hard it was to find new employees because applicants didn’t take the questions on the application seriously. He ran a couple questions by me as an example, the first one was what do you do if you’re bagging someone’s groceries and you realize that you forgot to bring up an item, then it listed 3 or 4 choices. Most people said they’d sneak the item I to the bag without charging them or Push it off to the side when the customer wasn’t looking, I picked another option, ad.It my mistake and ask the customer if they wanted me to bring it up separately. The other question was if you’re bored what do you have to contribute to the store, it turned out most applicants turned the question into a joke and said something like, “I can hold mother Hubbard’s dog for her” (the store was called mother Hubbard’s cupboard). I told him my answer would be that I had .gov honesty and old fashioned work ethic to contribute and that was the a seed he was looking for, in fact he was ready to offer me a job on the spot, but I already had a full time job.

I guess there’s no point asking for a resume.
