-Being that I will be concentrating on some home remodel projects, and
+oops
-unable to attend the next meeting, here are some of my random thoughts
-about the store intern position, for your consideration.  My years have
-taught me that change is a natural progression, and though I approach it
-with caution, I accept it within reason.  Whatever the committee may
-decide, I will support any decision that is in the best interest of FG.
-Previous intern postings were designed to offer job training to young
-persons who lacked any previous training.  We did specify in that job
-description that technical knowledge was a plus, because we needed the
-intern to set up a test station, and assist the coordinator in testing
-all of the store items not normally tested at FG.
-Today there seems to be a call for interns who possess more abilities in
-the area of display layout and marketing experience.
-Should we assume that only a minimal amount of technical knowledge is
-required, and the intern will not be required to do any testing of parts
-for sale?  If so, we will have to rely on our advanced testing group to
-get up to speed enough to supply the store regularly with those items we
-have been testing.  This would free the store workers to spend more time
-on the labeling, order, display, and sales.  Can advanced testing commit
-to doing that?  I am concerned about that ability at present.  We still
-do not have a consistent flow of tested motherboards, or SCSI hard
-drives, and the test stations for DVD's, CD-Burners, and Zip drives are
-still not built.  We also need to provide a list of wants for cables and
-various other items, so the testing group can cull them out for the
-store.  At present, they lack the core volunteers to keep up with the
-demands we want to make of them. Hopefully we can improve that situation
-prior to the hiring.
-Most of the common interview questions would apply, including why they
-want the job, what they know of FG, and tell us about yourself.
-The job description should be worded to state our desire to hire for a
-mere 20 hours, at pitiful pay, a person who has experience in sales, and
-is capable of improving our ability to organize, display, and label
-items for sale in a professional manner.
-It should also include the usual traits, such as being on time,
-reliable, honest, and self-motivated.  Duties will still include
-stocking, customer relations and sales, and should still require the
-ability to lift and carry at least 40 lbs.
-The hours of work are negotiable, within the framework of the schedule
-and the agreements forged with the other store persons.  And of course
-we need to include the temporary nature of the job, as it is limited to
-months at present.  However, if we are no longer offering this
-position as a training tool, HR may reconsider the duration
-requirements.
-If any questions for me may arise, I will be monitoring my e-mail and
-respond as soon as possible.
-Rick
