-: I think there's some core things
that we are looking for, and that sort of
puts everybody on a foundation for starting.
But then, those that have taken advantage of opportunities,
either paying or volunteer work
where they've shown leadership,
where they've shown initiative,
the ability to think and do things on their own.
Not, we don't want people that are just
so independent thinkers that they can't work as a team,
but we also are looking for people that can
be a contributor that can listen, observe,
and get out information that,
or get information from people
that have been through it before
but then take that information
and turn it into something for today.
Well, we have a website that talks
about our career opportunities.
We have branch offices in almost every county
or within a couple of counties,
and they're all on the website.
You could figure out where they are.
And I'd reach out individually,
personally, if you don't already,
a lot of our employees have parents
that are already customers or something.
But make that personal contact.
And then, we have internships that are on there.
Apply for the internships.
We're getting ready.
The 1st of December is when we start,
and like a lot of people,
we start looking for interns at that time.
But reach out and show that you're a human being,
that we're not just one of 50 companies.
We've actually had people that have
come into our organization for an interview,
and one of my first questions is,
"What'd you do to prepare for this interview?"
And they talk about, "Well, I drove down here,"
or, "I put a suit on."
They didn't even go to our website.
So if they're not curious enough to learn about us,
it's really hard, and it's pretty easy
to pick that out when you first see somebody
or talk with them if they haven't
done any research on their own.
