Just can't follow instructions I ran an ad in the classified for Housekeepers and it says "part time day shift. NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE. APPLY IN PERSON" and then our address. It doesn't even list our phone #. Yet... I've had several calls so far today asking about the job in the paper. I wanna get their names so I know who NOT to hire

To tell the truth, you're probably better off NOT putting your address in your classified ad, as that's definitely gonna attract some riff-raff. You simply don't wanna give out any more information than you want.

You simply don't wanna give out any more information than you want. It's our company address... There's no reason not to give out the address. What I WANT is for people to come in and apply in person.

Or when they call, tell them you have a no solicitation policy and hang up.

I wanna get their names so I know who NOT to hire Maybe you should hire them for the IT department. Savy enough to get a phone number from just an address, at least that shows initiative and knowhow. Course.....playing devil's advocate....someone looking for a job is not gonna restrict themselves to your ad....the price of gas is REALLY too expensive for potential wild goose chases these days.

I believe that if you want a job you go out and you look for one. I want to see their appearence... if they even made an attempt to look decent while they're job searching. I also don't have time to do just do phone interviews when people feel like calling.
