Owner's Personal Statement on Job Position:

Hi,

I figured a personal response from the owner would help give prospective employees a feel for me and the business and position that is available. The position that you are looking at and thinking about applying for is a highly in-demand position with my business. The only reason some leave is due to illness or other issues unrelated to management or the business.

The business is growing fast and exponentially which requires someone who can handle a full load. While the business is low-key, it can get mildly stressful sometimes when we have a full house or a show where thousands are in attendance. One thing as the owner, I treat my employees, as well as my customers, with the utmost respect and value their opinions. I highly encourage education and learning to build “your” skills and value in the business. The more you learn or have value in the business, the more you earn per hour.

The business is growing fast. I am planning within the year to expand into the open market with a stand-alone store to expand services and products in a new market. We have a good product and customer base, and we are highly respected in the area. We are known across the country, and highly known in the Midwest as one of the newest most respected herb stores in Ohio. We maintain our 5 star reviews on Google, and we strive for that customer connection of where they refer their family and friends through word of mouth advertising. We do pay for advertising in select arenas, but most of our sales comes from new customer traffic and repeat business. Our customers know we have some high quality products, and the service is second to none. I'm looking for a hard-working employee who goes the extra mile like I do. I'm an MBA graduate with lots of growth and ambition. I need loyalty and I'll give it back in return for that loyalty.

For the current moment, I'm looking for an employee that is in this for the long-haul. I've invested my life into this business, and with growing, I want to train and let somebody earn alongside me and reap the benefits for their service with the business. I can promise you that if you go through the training program, get situated in the business, you can write your ticket with hours and pay when we expand as there will be an abundance to go around with need.

I'm looking for that “right-hand” in the business that can represent me and the business on all fronts, as well as be a leader to those under your leadership to help advance the business mission statement as we continue to grow and expand. Does this sound like you?
