Posted on 08 July 2012. Tags: application, call, Hey, Hooters, job, job references, money, Work
Hey! So I want to work at Hooters because I heard the tips are good and I really need the money. But I wonder who would you put down as a job reference when filling out the application (like what type of people, or what areas of work would your references work in, etc)? Also how would you approach someone and ask them to be your reference because most people wouldn’t want their name affiliated with Hooters? (If I use someone as a reference and don’t tell them where I’m applying and they randomly get a call from Hooters it might be awkward. Or does Hooters not really call your references?) Please help!!

Choose one of the following scenarios. All examples use masculine gender since our languages don’t have a neuter gender, but I mean this regardless of the artist’s gender.
1. Artist becomes famous very early on his career, and somehow manages to score a big hit very quickly.
However, the artist never manages to outperform himself, and so that early hit becomes his one and only magnum opus.
20-30 years later, and he’s only remembered by the works he produced during his early years. Since he has since unable to produce anything memorable, he’s doomed to replay all those old acts or songs and live from his past success.
He dies in utter poverty, alone and barely remembered at all.
SUMMARY: Early One-Hit-Wonder, resting on his laurels most of his life.
2. Artist has it rough at the start. Started from the very bottom, and didn’t show much progress during the start of his career.
But he never gives up. He always tries to improve himself, always coming with better works of art.
And eventually, the fruits of his hard work start showing up. He’s not young anymore, but he’s starting to become quite successful.
He produces his magnum opus very late in life, when other artists have already retired. Since his talent is widely demanded, he has no choice but to keep touring and displaying his art, with barely any hope for retirement.
He dies an untimely death at a very old age (it’s not a contradiction in this case), and is deeply mourned by fans worldwide, entering halls of fame and widely considered one of the best of his art ever.
SUMMARY: poor start, hard earned success, becomes a Living Legend.
3. He’s an average artist. While he’s successful enough to live a good life, he’s not a hall of famer or a worldwide renowned star.
However, one day, for some reason or another, he becomes memetic. The internets get filled by parodies, comics and videos mocking his work.
Thus, amazing a huge, unwanted popularity, a periphery demographic.
He could capitalize in that popularity, but that would mean he would.
– lose his previous fandom
– never be taken seriously anymore
– live the rest of his life as a parody of himself
or he could just ignore the memes and remain respected among his niche fandom and obscure elsewhere, and eventually disappear and be forgotten.
SUMMARY: average artist turned Memetic Star
So, what do you choose? Why?
Bonus points for whoever comes with the best example.

My coworker, who I have to sit next to all day long everyday, can be very annoying.
For one thing, she doesn’t want to be here. She hates this job and makes no secret of it. Even our supervisor, the head of HR knows she has been looking for another job for over a year.
She tells interns, new hires, current employees and even applicants–anyone who will listen–what a “horrible” company this is.
She makes snarky comments all day long like, “what do these people get out of interning here?” even though it’s actually a really good company and would be a great opportunity for any marketing student.
All she does all day long is complain and fill out applications for other jobs online.
In spite of all this, she still wanted to be flown across the country and put up in a hotel to represent the company at a convention in Las Vegas and was FURIOUS when she was not awarded the opportunity to go. She feels like the company owes her something.
Just today, she complained to IT that her computer was slow. So they brought her a new one. My computer is slow too, but they don’t have any more…so they gave the only one they had to her. But she is still not happy, because, “the screen is so small, and my vision is not the greatest…” and she’s really mad because the IT guy wouldn’t illegally connect her NEW laptop to her gmail account (it is blocked due to company policy,) like another IT guy did for her with her old laptop.
She refuses to do any bit of extra work around the office, so any time extra work is needed, our supervisors know to have ME do it, not her. But then when there’s an opportunity for overtime, it is OFFERED to her as a courtesy, since extra money is involved.
She also eats hard boiled eggs every morning–about 3 of them. Which stink. That’s annoying but any time someone walks by and mentioned the smell, she’s in denila that it’s coming from her eggs.
And to top it off, she views me as her competitor so she takes any opportunity to make slightly bitchy comments when others are around to assert dominance and show off.
Any coping strategies? I want to keep the peace…
