Saturday was our first day of interviews. From over 300 applications, we invited 42 people to come in for an interview at the store. 38 of them showed up (more than we expected) and it was an interesting day. Pam did all the hard work, interviewing each person - all I did was greet them, give them a test and some paperwork to read over and then stare at them and make notes like: "funny hair", "old with eye twitch", "wears all black - is that mascara?".
From the 38 we have 14 that will be invited back for a second interview next Saturday. We will also bring in 20 more potential candidates for a first look. Hopefully by the end of next weekend, we will have 15 good employees on the team.
Today was the big day for moving to the next phase. When Pam arrived at the store before 7am, there were two semi-trailers full of fixtures waiting for us. Of course, the labor didn't show up until 8am (and clearly from the picture below you can see that they don't really want to work), so Pam had to jockey the pallet jack for awhile. Should of gotten a picture of that!
By end of the day the perimeter fixtures were all in place. Still a day's work to level, anchor and finish before they start on the floor fixtures. All of the counters should be in place by the end of the day Tuesday.
