hiring inexperience help to train

I am looking to hire some one to train from scratch . I dont know if i am a bad judge of character but i only seem to hire loosers . They all give a good show when they apply for the job but give them a month and they start bitching and misssing work or having baby mama drama.

Some things i have figured out so far

older than 19
dont live at home
preferably work in auto industry ( ie detailer oil changer etc)
own a car enjoy working on cars

Anything else that weeds out the loosers ? . I have a cutting machine and an experience guy already so i only need some one for side doors . The last guy i got going pretty good in about 3 weeks .

Had a few car audio guys want the job but figured they could make more doing audio and just want to learn the business and skip off after .

Any suggestions?

thanks

yes then they have something to practice on but then again what do I know

"Had a few car audio guys want the job but figured they could make more doing audio and just want to learn the business and skip off after .

it has been my experience that within a day or 2 you can tell who will pick it up and want to stick with it and who won't get it or will just want to bail on ya after they think they know it all

as did I,

Wow this job market is tight . Put an ad in newspaper with little response . Only people answering are unemployed tinters wanting 40-45% . Cant afford to pay some one that.

I had a guy come in back in 89 to apply for a job and I didn't hire him because he was 19 and lived at home and was delivering pizzas at the time,so I hired someone else and they quit after a week so I was in a bind and called the 19 year old to see if he still wanted the job.anyway I hired him and trained him he worked for me for 5 years and in that time only missed 2 days of work

Well some follow instuctions better not me I am as hard headed as any man just ask Mr P!

and you don't have to teach them, they learned in college. Wait, we're talking about tinting.

Hire younger employees who live at home. They can better fianacially survive the learning curve of tinting.

Any suggestion where to put ad . I put a $300 ad in paper and sign in front of shop still not much of a response. I am going to the unemployment office to put an ad up today. Here in Orlando very low unemployment, Disney giving $500 bonus to people they hire never seen that before.

Definately stay clear of the rice tuners!lol Simple man.. when you sit down with him find out alittle about him on this day talk to him as a friend not a employer. Is he married or live with Mom? any PO officer?(which doesnt mean he doesnt deserve a second chance) besides he realizes he get reports from you. job history is a key element. if hes had 6 jobs in one year, just count this as 7. any military? usually shows some discipline.

When I was a sub-contractor {Metal fabrication) I would always say "all I want to see is blue lights and white smoke, make me famous Motherfo(ker. if you aint burnin rods you better be spinnin wire!

DO NOT make a situation debateable like it sounds like you have. This is your rodeo. your way or the freeway. and if they dont like it..Hit the bricks baby.

let them know you only expect them to work only half a day seven days a week,Which twelve is entirely up to them!

Damn, wish you were closer to sc. That would be great for me. I am 21, live at home, i do work 2nd shift so I wouldnt ask for alot. Hard working. Willing to learn. The way things work for me....

hire someone who is proud of their work. that likes to take the time to do things right the first time and that is very patient. dont just judge them by their looks or how they represent themselves when you first meet them. the best way to weed out the bad is to ask them to help you out for a day or two for free, and feel em out. if he seems interested in what your doing, good. if hes just moping around asking how much you make and asking stupid questions, not good. i got lucky when i got my job. helped for a few hours and they liked my style, so i was hired, mind you i was 19, living at home, and unemployed for the past 3 months. i was hungry for any "job" but tinting is something i had always wanted to do. look at me now, 3 years same company, full time now, hourly plus bonuses. i think ill be there for years to come. still do jobs on the side but the boss dont mind, and i know i can make more at home but i like having a job to go to monday to friday from 8 to 6. good luck finding the right guy or girl!

WEll I'm kinda new to this forum deal. Well I just started tinting at a Tint shop. And at first i thought it was rough work . I really didn't like it much. But now I'm getting a feel for it. And I'm starting to actually enjoy it. And these guys hired me with no exp. watsoever . Of which i appreciate. It's been about 3 weeks . And I still cant do backwindows solo . But I am grateful.

Why do you think they are unemployed?

I started out in car audio in HS, migrated over to auto body and paint work after college and now i have landed in the wide world of tinting...Best bet is to find someone who acutally knows how to use hand tools...and if they say they have done it before have em go try a window in the back...


just dont rule out people who are from other automotive fields.....
