Craigs List is a wonderful thing, if you need to get word out quickly that you are hiring.
Megan is going back home to Arkansas, so we need to replace her. She has been one of our most solid employees, working a larger number of hours per week, and being a key holder for closes, including counting out the drawer. With her leaving, we need to fill the void.
I placed an ad on Craig's List this afternoon. Within 15 minutes I had seven replies by email. It is now 8:30pm and I have 17 responses by email. Megan said five or six people came into the shop and filled out applications during the afternoon before we closed.
Did I mention that Craig's List is free? Our newspaper ad when we first started cost over $300 and got us about 12 applications over the course of 10 days...
The new generation communicates differently than all us 40-somethings and older. Knowing how to reach them can save time and money.
I have a million things to do, so I'd better run.
Take care,
JD

Tracy and I are opening our own Coffee Shop and Portrait Studio in Colorado Springs. The coffee shop will be "Nemo's Coffee" and the portrait studio will be called "Nautilus Photography." Do you get the correlation? I will be using this blog to chart our progress. It is unbelievable how much work it is to research, set-up, construct, and outfit a new business! I intend to post a daily log of progress made, as well as post photos! Wish us luck!
