Please Note: We are not just another food service company, and we are not looking for just another job applicant. This letter will give you some ideas of what to expect and how to proceed from here:
1. Do not try to complete the application now. Please take it home, give it some thought, and take you time with it. Be sure to fill it out completely, even if you enclose a resume. If a question does not apply to you, mark it “NA” so we know you didn’t avoid the answer. Food service is a business of details, and we will only consider people who share our concern about the importance of handling all small points.
2. We will verify all information you give us on the application [doc] [pdf]. Please understand that we are not as concerned with what you tell us as we are that you give us the truth. Honesty is always the best policy....especially if you hope to become part of our team.
3. We are all committed to maintaining a drug-free workplace. This means that we do not tolerate the possession of drugs or alcohol on the premises, nor do we permit our staff to work under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
4. If an offer of employment is made to you, we may require that you pass a physical examination. The company will pay all expenses of this examination although we do not pay for the time required to take it.
5. We will verify your references: educational, personal and professional. If we cannot check your references, we cannot consider you for employment, so be sure you list valid names and phone numbers. Please be sure that everyone you list knows to expect a call from us and has your permission to talk with us.
6. On the last page of the application you will be given the opportunity to make a “sales pitch”. We suggest you give it some thought and present a case for yourself. After all, if you don’t believe in you, why should we?
7. Read the final statement to the application carefully before you sign it. If you have any questions, please ask them before you give us your application. We will not consider unsigned applications.
8. When you have completed the application, call Kelli Glenn at 360-642-2323 to set up an appointment or phone interview. This appointment should last no longer than thirty minutes. On all in person interviews, dress the part, be on time and show us your best.
9. Based on our observations and a review of your application, we will notify you within five working days (weekdays) from the date of your initial screening about the status of your application. We will either call or send you a letter. If by some chance the 5 days pass without your hearing from us, call the number above.
Thank you again, for your interest and your time. We wish you all the best luck in the future, whatever direction your career may take you.
With Best Regards,
Blaine
Blaine Walker, Proprietor
