Texas Tech students try to answer VERY basic questions on American history and politics

[ballyhoo]

98. Fair enough........

1) What is a DON? Is it a Dean of Nurses?

[font color=blue]Director or Nurses[/font]

2) If you do not mind telling me, where does your daughter live? Do not worry, I will not try to track her down. I just want to know in what city and state this is happening.

[font color=blue]Laguna Hills, CA[/font]

3) What do you mean the store workers cannot "carry on conversations with customers regarding sales"? Can these people not sell items? Can they not discuss/explain sales taxes?

[font color=blue]There is a way to sell clothes and accessories to people that makes them comfortable with the sale and encourages them to buy more, to buy accessories, etc. But don't lie. Say stuff like "you look good in that; that is a good color for you. That would be ideal for the party you are going to...." Stuff that makes them feel like you are taking an interest--not just putting something on them. No one has to explain sales tax at these stores; the more high level ones in particular.[/font]

I hope that answers your questions. I tried to speak in the vernacular so I wouldn't look like an HR freak.

Orange County, CA is fairly easy place to get a job if you have some management Retail experience. My daughter gets one to three calls a week--some because of Xmas, some not. If you are looking for a job, make sure to not create too stuffy of a resume, like they and I did in yesteryear. Don't make it too informal--maybe medium somewhere. Have a couple of your friends look at it. Right now I know that J Crew, Saks and others are looking. They are making decisions faster too. Particularly if you can give a good presentation. But no facial tattoos, lip or nose beads, and hair that looks like it was done with a latte maker. People in higher level stores gravitate to people that look like them, at least superficially.

Oh, well. Good luck.
