Do not try to complete this application now. Please take it home and give it some thought and take your time with it. Be sure to fill it out completely even if you enclose a resume. If a question doesn't apply to you, mark it NA so we know that you didn't avoid the answer. Food service is a business of details and we will only consider people who share our concern about the importance of handling the small points.

We'll verify all the information you give us on the application. Any false or misleading statements will disqualify you from consideration no matter how talented you may be. Please understand that we're not as concerned what you tell us as we are that you give us the truth. Honesty is always the best policy, especially if you want to become part of our team.

We are committed to maintaining a drug-free workplace. This means we don't tolerate the possession of drugs or alcohol on the premises. We don't permit our staff to work under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

On the last page of the application we give you the opportunity to make a personal sales pitch. We suggest you give it some thought and make a case for yourself. After all, if you don't believe in you, why should we?

If you have any questions, please ask them before you give us your application. We won't consider unsigned applications. When you have completed the application, call Mino 's at 715-675-5939 to set up an appointment to submit your application and take a short screening test. This appointment should last no longer than 30 minutes. Be aware that what you do and how you do it are being evaluated throughout the selection process, so dress the part, be on time and show us your best. Remember the saying about first impressions.

Based on our observations, your test results and a review of your application, we will notify you within 5 working days of the status of your application. We will either call or send you a letter. If by some chance the 5 days pass without your hearing from us, call the number above.

We take selection very seriously. If you are a final candidate, you can expect at least one more interview. We may ask you how you would handle some sticky situations. We won't take a warm body just to fill the vacancy quickly, so please be patient.

We go to this trouble because our goals and standards are very high. If you are good enough to become part of our team, you are truly an outstanding individual. With rare

exceptions, if you need a job today, you should not count on us to provide it. If you need a job right away, we suggest you find something else that will work while we process your application.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We will accept only qualified staff and that is for every position. We will not discourage you from applying for any position that you feel qualified for. We will make selections based on what strengths you bring to our team and how you fit into our operating style.

We expect you to take an active role in your own success and the success of your co-workers. Towards that end, it will be part of your job responsibilities to help train your co-workers. You will be evaluated not only by your performance but by that of your trainees.

Our success comes from delighting our guests and earning their regular patronage. Everything in the company is organized toward that goal. We are interested in what you can learn. People skills are essential. If we bring you on board, we promise to give you all possible assistance to help assure your success on the job. This represents a significant commitment on the part of the company and we look for an equal level of commitment on the part of the people we ask to join us.

If you are not offered a position, we encourage you to apply again later if you are still interested in working with us.

You must decide if what we offer is worth your effort to meet our high standards. Whatever your choice, we hope you will visit us often as a guest and let us know how we are doing.

Thank you again for your interest and time. We wish you all the best in the future in whatever direction your career may take you.
