How to hire a part-timer on St. John

If you’re running a restaurant or a retail business on St. John, finding, and actually keeping, good employees for longer than the training period can be a challenge. The twenty-somethings are transient. They come. They go. And your customers are on vacation so your staff better be fun and friendly, and know enough to converse about the little island they’re on.

We got a big kick out of this job application for Big Planet at Mongoose Junction someone sent us. Click here, if you’d like to see if you qualify!

   Odd, but fun application! But I’m pretty sure it is illegal to ask DOB/age on any application!!

   Someone really needs to clean their printer/scanner. I thought my screen was a mess until I couldn’t clean the smudges, stains, etc. Ha ha!

   Tur•pi•tude noun, formal
   depravity, wickedness

   So they’re not worried about ordinary depravity and wickedness… they’re worried about “Moral” Depravity and Wickedness. Rats.

   So that’s how they end up with so many totally self-absorbed transient employees…a different crop of kids every time I go in there!
