MISTER WEDNESDAY MORNING

SPECIAL

THE DAWN OF A NEW DEAL FOR THE COMMON PERSON

WEDNESDAY MORNING 4 JUNE 2014

Seattle raises minimum wage to $15 an hour Martina Phelps says the Seattle City Council's historic vote Monday to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour could change her life. Phelps, 22, earns $9.47 per hour working for a McDonald's restaurant near downtown. She wants to move out of her mother's South Seattle home, and she wants to go back to school. She says those things could happen now that the city will have the nation's highest minimum wage. "It's hard right now," she told USA TODAY hours before the midafternoon vote. "I have been trying to save up for school, but I just can't do it. This would mean a lot." The council unanimously approved the measure before a packed house. The plan, which includes a lower training wage aimed at teenagers, will phase in the higher, local minimum over three to seven years, depending on the size of the business and benefits they provide employees. Next April 1, when the plan takes effect, every worker will get at least a $1-an-hour raise. City officials estimate that about a quarter of workers earn less than $15 an hour.

Full-time work at that rate translates to about $31,000 a year. A trade group representing corporate franchises said it would sue to overturn the plan, saying it puts Seattle owners at a disadvantage to other small businesses. Washington already has the highest state minimum wage at $9.32 an hour, well above the federal minimum of $7.25. Seattle's Chamber of Commerce initially balked at the wage plan. Craig Dawson, CEO of Retail Lockbox in Seattle, was among those suggesting early on that small and minority businesses would be put at risk by the increase in personnel costs. Compromises were put forward, and a rancorous Council committee meeting last week resulted in some adjustments to the plan that appeared to pave the way for easy passage. "A year ago, $15 was just a number on fast food strikers' picket signs," Working Washington, a coalition of labor and community groups, said in a statement issued Monday. "Today it's set to become reality for 100,000 Seattle workers." Seattle venture capitalist Nick Hanauer, a key backer of the effort, says the city is a prosperous but costly place to live. "Fifteen dollars is a very conservative number that we know for certain the economy can support," he told the Los Angeles Times. “Fifteen is a good solid number for a place like this, but probably is too much for a small town in Arkansas where living costs are much, much, much lower." The ordinance was drafted by an advisory group of labor, business and non-profit professionals. In a contentious meeting last week, a City Council committee agreed to delay implementation of the ordinance to next April instead of Jan. 1. They rejected

amendments that would have sped up phase-ins and would have excluded tips from total compensation. The committee also approved a sub-minimum wage for teenagers. Businesses employing more than 500 workers would be required to pay $15 an hour by 2017, or 2018 if health care is offered. Smaller businesses would have five to seven years to phase in the increase. Part of employees' tips and benefits could be applied toward the higher minimum for as long as 11 years. The plan was approved unanimously by the City Council members at the meeting, indicating that passage into law was likely. "Seattle, and other cities, is taking direct action to close our nation's huge income gap because the federal and state governments have failed to do so," City Councilman Nick Licata said. "By significantly raising the minimum wage, Seattle's prosperity will be shared by more people and create a sustainable model for continued growth." A group called 15 Now is collecting signatures for a ballot measure that would hasten the timeline to $15 for all workers. The measure would amend the city's charter to create an immediate wage hike for large businesses, a three-year phase-in for organizations with fewer than 250 full-time employees, and the elimination of the training wage. 15 Now needs more than 30,000 signatures to make it on the ballot. Crystal Thompson, 33, told The Seattle Times she has been working at a local Domino's Pizza for five years and still makes minimum wage. She says her responsibilities have grown, and she

sometimes is responsible for opening and closing the store.

The HufPo article says minimum wage in 1968 was $1.60 per hour; TODAY'S equivalent would make that $10.74, adjusted for inflation…

A MUST WATCH VIDEO FOR INTERVIEW http://www.starbucks.com/career-center/retail-positions ======================== TIPSTER: If you are serious about getting a job at Starbucks.

• Apply online and visit the stores you applied to in person and introduce yourself to the manager.

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER… Barista Interview Interview Details – Interview is focused on questions evaluation one's attitudes towards providing great customer service. The company is also looking for very positive, happy, and respectful candidates. In the same vein it helps to be mild mannered and calm. They are also looking for respect towards authority and clients in demeanor and responses. Interview Question –

• Tell me of a time where you provided exceptional customer service.

==================================== INTERVIEW QUESTIONS: STARBUCKS The next step is a more in depth interview, about 45 minutes, with the same recruiter. All questions are behavioral questions in the STAR format. They will go over the "how’s" of your resume more than the "what’s". Be prepared with specific examples. Feel free to use names of coworkers to help make your stories more real and personal.

The questions I was asked: • Tell me about a time when you had

an uncooperative coworker or a coworker you didn't get along with. What was the situation, why were they uncooperative, what was the result?

• Tell me about a time you had to plan out a project. What was your role, etc?

• Tell me about a time you had to have a tough conversation with someone at work.

• Tell me about a time you had to bring a co-workers performance up.

• They will ask probing questions about additional actions you took, why you think coworkers were acting in a particular way, etc. Make sure you're able to get as specific as possible about these situations and your actions in them. I passed and was immediately asked for possible dates for a final interview.

• Tell me about a time when you had a communication breakdown with a co- worker or with your team.

• Tell me about a time you had to have a tough conversation with a co- worker (exact question from the phone interview)

• What are your strengths? Give an example of a time you displayed this.

• What are your weaknesses? What are you doing to work on this?

• What are you doing for your personal and professional development?

• Tell me about a time when you didn't have all the answers or didn't know what to do next (this may be the most important question, because they told me they usually never get good answers to this. Luckily, mine was high scope and relevant)

• Tell me about a time when you had to plan out a project.

==================================== Barista - I applied online and the process took 1+ week Interview Details – Online application company wide, submit one first walking into a store to fill out a paper application is a wasted trip. Follow up in 1-3 days, ask for the store manager (not shift supervisor), or stop in and drop of a resume. More than one

Starbucks manager has told me they always interview the people who care enough to follow up. Actual interview is rather standard, research Starbucks and stress customer service. Ultimately Starbucks is selling customer service in the disguise of coffee, if you are passionate about providing great service make sure your interviewer knows. Interview Question –

• Why do you want to work for Starbucks?

==================================== Barista - I applied online and the process took 2 weeks Interview Details – Online application - was contacted within a week by assistant store manager. Interviewed in store with manager, and had a second interview with another store manager at another location. The process is formal but not difficult. Most of the questions are feelers on how you handle working with others, working in a retail environment, and what kind of contributions you bring to the store. Interview Question –

• Name a time where someone was disappointed or dissatisfied with your work.

• How did you react to this situation and what would you do to remedy it?

==================================== Shift Supervisor Interview - I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks Interview Details – Had an interview with the store manager of my home store. I had a second interview with a neighboring Starbucks manager. Typical questions such as "Tell me about a time when you coached an employee and the outcome."

A few days after the second interview, I got a call from the first manager with an offer in which I accepted. It took my process 30 days to complete because I had requested to put in a two weeks’ notice at my previous job before I started. The process probably would've only taken 2 weeks instead of 4 if not for the circumstance. The onboarding process is done before your actual first day of work. It usually takes 3-5 hours and consists of filling out paperwork such as the I9 and W4 forms. You do get paid for working the onboarding process. You also do a coffee tasting during that time and will spend a majority of it reading company policy materials, safety concerns etc. They will provide you your aprons at that time as well. My barista training is taking place in another store. How long you are in the training process depends on how fast you can learn. What they mistakenly forgot to tell me tell me during my offer is that during your initial "training" period you do not get any portion of the tips because you are technically not "contributing" to the stores profit! I think that was pretty shady of them to tell me after the fact, so I feel like that is something that should be addressed. Interview Question –

• Tell me about a time when you thought you were not going to complete a project or projects on time.

• What did you do to try to meet the deadline?"

He said it started at minimum wage and the job was mine if I wanted it. I took it. Interview Question –

If you really want to work here, you MUST go over and make friends with both the Department leads (in the section of the store where you have a good knowledge of the items being sold) and with one of the managers. Keep in touch with them WEEKLY to let them know you are:

• Available for work • Living in the neighborhood (just down

the street or are looking to move into the neighborhood)

If you impressed them from the start as a skilled (knowledgeable) and serious candidate from the start, this reminder calls will keep you at the top of the list. An occasional store visit goes a long way to showing that you are serious and that you have the ability to get to work if they hire you. ==================================

Biltmore 602-954-4000 2131 East Camelback Road, Phoenix, AZ 85016 USA APPLICATION ONLINE... DO THIS BY DOING APPLICATION AND THEN, GET

OLD SCHOOL ON THEM...GO INTRODUCE YOURSELF... http://www.choicepetmarket.com/careers/ NOTE: YES/NO: I have been convicted of a crime (other than traffic violations) or been imprisoned during the last seven years. (A conviction will not necessarily bar you from employment) NO ACTUAL JOBS POSTED ON THEIR WEBSITE... You must be available for full-time work, including weekends. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PART-TIME POSITIONS. This web form does not accept attachments. Please do not try to attach a copy of your resume. Please fill out the form completely and carefully. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

TIPSTER: “Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis.” This means that if they haven’t had any one come in and impress them, they may (if they have to) start going through these online applications. If you REALLY want to work with animals and with people who think like you, then, do yourself a big favor and make yourself a master of this place (what they do, how they do and what makes them successful). Then fill out the online applicant, dress like you would to work there and go over at a non-peak time to introduce yourself to a manager and/or the staff. TIPSTER #2: Make a dry run over there at a busy time and watch and observe:

• Observe the customer traffic through the store to get an idea as to how busy or rushed you would be if you worked there.

• Observe if the staff is helpful. Are they smiling and working with the customers?

• Get a basic feel for the layout of the store – where everything is.

• Look at how organized the store is. Is there plenty of merchandise on the shelves? Is the merchandise neat and organized? Are the displays attractive and have curb appeal?

• Is the manager on the floor? Is the manager helping or watching the staff?

Go to Yelp to read the consumer reviews for the store. Take some notes about what people like and complained about. Review all your INTEL. Do you like what you saw? If so, go back dressed similar to what the sales associates were wearing (or just clean clothes) and introduce yourself and impress them with how serious you are!

Prep Cook (salad bar) (82098) Part-Time Position. The key factor other than talking about your skills and abilities is going to be the reality of the

more open your availability is the better your chances. There is literally no job description for you to work off of. This does not mean that even Old Uncle Bob (who has restraining orders against him in many a kitchen) would qualify for this job.

ONET ONLINE ALERT! STEP ONE: To do the Whole Foods Application you will need to go and get the ONET Job description for Food Prep and pull out the skills and abilities that you will need to showcase plus all of the key words and phrases. STEP TWO: Take your time to do the application completely. Remember, this application represents the quality of your work. If it is sloppy, incomplete or done wrongly, then the employer will see you as that. How well you include the key words and phrases into your application will determine if you get called or not. REMEMBER (this is a key point) THEY ARE NOT LOOKING FOR EXPERIENCE (and the computer will not see it) BUT, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SKILLS AND ABILITIES WHILE THE COMPUTER IS ONLY SEARCHING FOR KEY WORDS. STEP THREE: Do yourself a big favor and get out there (during non-peak hours) to introduce yourself and ask them to pull your application (they can if they like you). Remember, the employer expects you to show up and introduce yourself if you are serious about the job. If you aren’t or don’t the employer will not bother with you.

Start your conversation with {SAMPLE}… “…Since I live in the neighborhood…I thought that I would stop by to introduce myself because I applied @ your website for the UPCOMING OPENINGS at your store…” ROLL DE DICE…TAKE A CHANCE!
