So I made it early to my orientation at Trader Joe’s; the guy who was going to orient me and two other guys was on his lunch break.
I went shopping around Montecito Center, got back, the guy was there, two other people didn’t show up. We decided to start without them, and first thing guy asks of me is a birth certificate. I remember EXACTLY what my interviewer told me to do, and he did NOT mention any birth certificate. Guess I should bring that to future orientations from now on…
So I drive back, scamper around frantically for my birth certificate, find my passport instead which should be just as good, drive back to T.J.’s, and my passport has expired since I’ve turned 18. Okay!
The orientation has been postponed until next Monday, 12:30. (note to self.) Ugh. I guess I can apply to Quizno’s in the meantime, since my T.J.’s position is a part-time night shift…
um no?
I’ve never had to bring my birth certificate to a job interview. You will most likely need your SSN card and photo ID, maybe a passport/work card if you’re not a US Citizen.
Re: um no?
you need to prove eligibility and identity.
ie, drivers license and social security card.
or school ID and birth certificate.
or passport.
Re: um no?
Yeah, he said SSN card OR birth certificate. I didn’t even know SSN cards even EXISTED. So yeah, that’s what I mean.
Re: um no?
Really? Has your parents kept that from you for so long?
The card isn’t much, it’s just a piece of paper printed with colors and is card size… it’s not very durable.
Strange, I never remembered having to bring ANYTHING except for a completion of a tax form after I was hired.
arg, i dont remember having to do any of that stuff when i got my job >_o
