when you apply for a job, do you give your application to the manger?

Question

I also have another question...

I'm looking into applying at the 3 Loblaws stores near me...so I found out the manager's names and stuff...

So on my cover letter, do I include their names, or would that be too personal?

well im not sure if they're hiring the positions i want...it's more like a resume of inquiry

i'm actually applying for a pretty low position...cashier since i'm only 16...

Answer 1

just to the manager they never give them to the manager so you have to personally do that yourself to personal

Answer 2

I work at a retail store and I would say that in most major retailers you can't actually "give" your application to a manager because most applications are on line/computerized. If you want to give a manager a good impression of yourself you can introduce yourself. If you do this wear something that fits in to the company's dress code, be prepared to state how you can make the organization a better place, and be friendly and energetic. If things go well during your meet give the manager your resume. It is probably better to try to call/introduce yourself during the non-peak weekday morning hours. Usually stores and therefore store managers get busy around the lunch rush and early evening. Don't get too discouraged if the manager tells you there are no immediate openings. Most retail stores have a lot of turnover so openings will eventually come up. If you don't get called for an interview you can call back. Managers get tons of applications. Good potential employees can get lost in the shuffle. Finally if you do get the job beat your expectations. Most retailers have a 30 day probationary period so it is critical that you live up to your application and resume!

Answer 3

Yes, people are impressed when you've done your research. It makes you stand out.
Also, be SURE you hand it to either a supervisor or a manager, not the first person you see. Many companies have a policy to that effect. Why? So they can look you over for a first impression, even if it's only 30 seconds. They know what to look for, while the cashier up front may say, "Uh, he looked okay, I guess," if asked. Be sure to dress nicely, smile, make eye contact, and shake hands, and you'll go in the "gold star" consideration pile.

Answer 4

Depends -
If responding to an recruitment advertisement, there should be a contact person. Addressed letter to the mentioned personnel. Added touch will be to find out the name of the person and addressed it to him/her. A very personal way and the efforts are worth it.
For writing in (not responding to any ads), find out the person in charge name and designation. Addressed letter to the person. Personal touch, people likes it.
Good luck.

Answer 5

Find out who is incharge of hiring and put Dear NAME OF PERSON on the cover letter. Never put to whom it concers or Human Resources. Ask to hand it to a manager

Use email to find out. This is private and they will never know who it is asking who doe the hiring. Also a phone

Answer 6

Give them to whomever is at the counter. Then come back the next day and ask for the manager and ask them if they had a chance to look at your application.

Answer 7

Yes you could, if you know for sure the position is indeed being hired by the manager, and not the DISTRICT MANAGER

You could have major egg on your face if you "assume" the wrong one.....

Answer 8

yes do give the manager the resume and make sure all your contact info. is on it.
no do not put the manager name on the cover letter but do put it on the envelope that you put your resume into.

Answer 9

if possible, give it to the manager or shift supervisor. Who ever is 'in charge' at the time. Then give it a couple of days and call or visit.
