Thread: Going to Apply at Rudy's BBQ & Country store tomorrow...

...and I swear someone here at TTP works/worked there too like in Corpus or someplace.

Any advice? I'm applying down at the one here in San Antonio on I-35 in Selma, going to drive down there and drop off my application tomorrow morning.

Been looking for a job like crazy the last month, but most places I apply for just don't call me back or I just never get called at all (and I ain't applying at little fast food places), this is my first app to a food industry place. I hate lifes realities...

That would be Tractor there big guy. He worked for them for a long time and he would definitely be the guy to ask.....

Commercial flooring sure the first year sucks because it's hard physical work and the pay isn't the best but once you know what your doing you make really good money. Seeing as your in Texas your not my competition so i could walk you through the tricks of the trade. The market is slow right now just like every other one but once it's back in swing your looking for days off.

I'm just curious deathgod, what exactly do you do in commercial flooring? Do you install them?

If you are just emailing your resume, then chances are you aren't going to get many responses back. It is best to actually hand your resume to a human being and even better with a follow up, to ensure that the resume got to the intended party...

That and that way they put a face with a name. Don't give it to them in a tuxedo, but shave and dress nice even when you are handing it to them. I've actually had an interview when I was just dropping a resume off to a company I applied at. Always put your best face on and try to be in a good mood.

Wasn't even given a first chance at a first impression.

Turns out that nowadays Rudys Faxes all applications handed in off to a central office that processes them and they have interviewers that call people from there and do interviewing and hiring there, so any kind of face time and first impression I did make on employees and/or the manager didn't make a difference since they don't have a say on the hiring process.
