We’re a bbq catering outfit looking to hire for the coming season;
it’s a great job for university students especially. Would you folks
consider putting a brief hiring notice up here in the group as
reasonable etiquette or spam? (We're not trying to sell anything,
just hoping to find a few good people.) Appreciate your comment; we’ve
enjoyed your posts.

It wouldn't bother me at all. Perhaps some of us have kids in school
that grew up with Q.

I must say that your post, despite never having seen one from you before,
is quite polite and lacking any SPAMminess. On that basis alone, I would
not find your proposal objectionable (subject to change without notice, of
course). ;-)

Thanks for asking. Where are you located? Can we do the interviews
here in the group? :-P If a kid can get through this gauntlet, he's
bulletproof.

Thanks, I think. Does this endorsement make me the most crotchety old
bastid in the group?

BTW, I don't think it's spam if you ask first. Spam is *unsolicited*
advertisement.

I don't see why anyone would get cranky. It's not like
you're spamming.

I have no objection to your posting an announcement. But like Steve, I
don't think it would be terribly effective.

I used to run a bakery and found that you can train skills fairly
easily, but you have to hire "nice". People are either nice or they
aren't and no amount of training you can afford will change that. And
you want nice people representing you. Who wants to be served by a
grouch at a catered function? (Unless they are a charming and
picturesque grouch, which is even harder to hire. Such a person could
pretend to be the archetypal chuck wagon cook.)

Good luck,
Mike
