Dan's example of how to apply for a job

Created by Justin Gibeault 17 years ago
A story that I remember Grandpa telling me was one where he was looking for work and decided to go to American Motors Company. He did not have a job interview, the company wasn't even advertizing that it was accepting applications for any positions. Dan just went down there and told the secretary that he was there to apply for a job. After a half hour of waiting, one of the managers came out to inform Dan that the company was not currently looking for help or taking applications. Dan listened. He had some general knowlege about American Motor Company, began to ask some questions about the operations, the company in general, and the new years line of automobiles in production. The manager answered all of Dan's questions. Dan was able to bring the line of questions to the amount of employees needed to keep a company like this going. That with a company this large and with so many employees that there must be quite a turn around with folks retiring, transferring, and fired. The manager agreed and stated that the turn over was quick. Dan stated that he would just continue to wait for the next person to leave and that he would be there to fufill that person's job. The manager hired Dan that day. This story Dan shared with me as he was driving me from Milwaukee to Lancaster Pennsylvania so I could persue my education and career as a paramedic.
