What personal information do I need to provide on the Tierra Mia Application form?
You will need to fill out your full name, including your last, first, and middle names. Additionally, you must provide your Social Security Number, current address (street, city, state, and zip code), and contact details such as your cell phone number, home phone number, and email address. Remember to indicate whether you are at least 16 years old and whether you are legally eligible to work in the U.S. Providing accurate and complete information is important for the application process.
What should I do if I have a criminal record?
If you have ever been convicted of a crime, you will need to disclose that on the application form. However, you are not required to mention any convictions that have been sealed, expunged, or dismissed. In addition, convictions related to marijuana offenses that are over two years old do not need to be disclosed. It’s important to note that having a criminal record does not automatically disqualify you from employment with Tierra Mia Coffee Company.
What if I have gaps in my employment history?
It's common for applicants to have gaps in their employment history, and you should feel free to explain any gaps when you fill out your application. Being transparent about your work experience can help your application stand out. If you took time off to focus on education, family, or personal matters, include that information. The company values a diverse set of experiences, so be honest and highlight your skills and what you bring to the table.
Why is it important to provide references, and who should I choose?
References can play a vital role in your application process. They provide potential employers insight into your work ethic, skills, and character. Choose individuals who know you professionally and can speak positively about your qualifications. Ideally, they should have worked with you directly, like past supervisors or colleagues. It’s a good idea to ask for their permission before listing them as references and to inform them they may be contacted. This can help ensure they are prepared to offer a supportive reference if needed.
