[quote=Anonymous]I know lots of teens will be apply for their first jobs after school starts, as a business owner that has employed hundreds of teens, here are some real skills they should know in a retail setting: -How to count back change without pulling out a calculator. (if total was $13.73 and need change from a $20, they start at $13.73 and count up to the $20) -How to count bills. They should be able to have a stack of 5's and quickly count them holding the uncounted bills in one hand and count as transferring to the other hand. -What denomination rolled coins comes in $10 in quarters, $5 in dimes… -Their social security number -How to tell military time if their employer uses that type of time card system -What it all means on their pay stub -How to read an "old-fashion" non-digital clock -How to mop a floor using a mop bucket & string mop head -Don't have a crazy and/or obscene recording as the voicemail for the contact number on an application Of course there are general things like saying "thank you", showing up on time...... I don't mind teaching these skills since I prefer to hire first time employees, but it would be nice if they knew them. If I think of more, I'll add them. [/quote]
