For the interview process, we recommend applicants
dress professionally. For hourly roles: well-groomed, clean clothes with a neat
appearance. For professional roles: standard business or office attire is
appropriate.
Scheduling:
Full-time roles require full
availability. Part-time roles require a minimum of 2 to 3 days of full
availability per week. Availability varies for seasonal roles depending on the
season. While many areas will work with availability, the options of those
applicants who prefer weekends off or exclusive early shift hours may be
limited.
Transportation:
Reliable transportation to
and from work is necessary. Ample transportation time should always be
allotted, especially when utilizing public transportation. Due to extended
operational hours during peak times, please make sure that public
transportation, if required, is an option. Carpooling within your location is
also an option that most areas are receptive to.
