Daytime shifts, however, have been difficult to fill. It seems like everybody who wants a job has a job. Attitude and personality count at Borders Books and Music stores too. We hire as much for attitude as for experience. We think if someone has shown the drive and ability to succeed in a previous job, they ll be able to transfer that to this environment.
Enthusiasm counts too.
One of my best people here was Christmas help two years ago. Two others were Christmas help last year. It s definitely a possibility to be hired after the holiday season is over. There are many people in the company who started as part-time seasonal help and moved up into management, even senior management positions. And, our company is expanding so much in the next five years, there will be many more opportunities for advancement.
