What You Should Know About This Form

What is the minimum age requirement to apply for a position at Steak And Shake?

To apply for a position at Steak And Shake, you must be at least 16 years old. If you are under 18, proof of age will be required. Candidates younger than 16 are not eligible to fill out the employment application.

How can I check the status of my application?

After submitting your application, you can follow up by contacting the Steak And Shake location where you applied. Providing them with your name and the date of your application can help them locate your records and provide an update on your application's status.

What information do I need to provide in the application form?

The application form requests personal information including your name, address, phone number, and Social Security number. You'll also need to provide details about your employment history, educational background, and references. Be prepared to answer questions about your desired position, work schedule availability, and any criminal history if applicable.

Are there specific positions available at Steak And Shake?

Yes, when completing the application, you will need to specify the position for which you are applying. Options typically include roles in service or production. It's important to select the one that aligns with your skills and interests.

What should I do if I have previous experience at Steak And Shake?

If you have previously worked for Steak And Shake, you should indicate this on the application. Provide details such as the location, the dates you were employed, and your position. This information can enhance your application, as prior experience may be viewed positively.

Can I apply for a job at Steak And Shake if I have a criminal record?

You can apply even if you have a criminal record; however, you must disclose any convictions as asked on the application.

Yes, including references who are not related to you or past employers is required. You should provide three references with their names, occupations, how long you’ve known them, and their telephone numbers. Strong references can bolster your application, showcasing your skills and character.

Common mistakes

Filling out the Steak and Shake application form can seem straightforward, yet many applicants stumble in specific areas. One common mistake is not answering the age question accurately. If an applicant is under sixteen, they should skip the entire application. Misunderstanding this point can lead to unnecessary efforts and disappointment. It is essential to read the age eligibility requirements carefully.

Another frequent mistake is neglecting to provide complete contact information. Each section of the application must be filled out thoroughly, including telephone numbers. Omitting this information can prevent potential employers from reaching the applicant for an interview. In the restaurant industry, timely communication is key, and any missing details can delay the hiring process.

Some individuals fail to clearly specify the position they are applying for. The application offers options like service or production, along with full-time, part-time, or temporary status. Choosing "service" without clarifying which role can cause confusion. It is important to make intentions clear to ensure the application reflects the correct job preference.

In completing the employment history section, applicants often make the mistake of providing insufficient detail. Listing job titles and dates is not enough. Describing duties, reasons for leaving, and supervisor details demonstrates full transparency and could enhance the applicant's chances. A complete work history is crucial as it gives employers insight into the candidate’s experience and reliability.

Some applicants mistakenly provide references that are too personal. The application explicitly requests references who are not family or former employers. Choosing individuals who fall outside of these categories establishes a professional context. Personal references may not be taken seriously by hiring managers.

A final common error involves the acknowledgement section at the end of the application. Applicants might overlook the importance of this section, including initialing the jury trial waiver and understanding the consequences of false statements. These details are not mere formalities; they protect both the employee and the employer. Reading and acknowledging all parts of the application can make a significant difference in the hiring process.

Documents used along the form

When applying for a position at Steak and Shake, several other forms and documents may be required to complete the process. These documents help provide additional information to ensure a better fit for both the applicant and the employer.

  • Resume: A detailed document outlining an applicant’s work experience, skills, and education. It serves as a summary of qualifications that may support the application.
  • Cover Letter: A brief letter that introduces the applicant and explains their interest in the job. It often highlights specific skills or experiences relevant to the position.
  • Availability Form: This form captures the specific days and times an applicant can work. It helps employers understand the flexibility and availability of applicants.
  • References List: A document listing individuals who can vouch for the applicant's character and work ethic. This usually includes names, contact information, and the nature of the relationship.
  • Proof of Age: If an applicant is under 18, this document is required. It usually takes the form of a birth certificate or other legal identification to confirm age eligibility to work.

Completing these forms accurately and providing necessary documents can improve the chances of securing a position at Steak and Shake. Taking the time to compile this information is crucial in illustrating qualifications and readiness for employment.
