If you're in the market for a great part time (or possibly full time) position that pays well, then it's hard to beat getting a position as a valet parking attendant. These jobs are pleasant and with tips, (plus your base salary), can be extremely financially rewarding. On top of the good income, the job provides other bennies. Such as flexibility, for one. At many valet parking employers you'll be allowed to pick what days you want to work.
Obviously a valet parking job can be pretty cool. But how how does one secure one? What are valet parking companies looking for in applicants? The firms can afford to be pretty selective when it comes to taking on additional workers, because the jobs are so attractive. Well, let's go over what makes for a desirable job applicant.
First off, they'll be asking about what kind of driving record you have. Due to the fact that, if you get the job, you'll be driving their clients' cars, that is of critical importance. They will ask that you secure a certified copy of your driving record from your local law enforcement agency. They want employees with impeccable driving records. The ideal prospects will be the ones which have zero violations and no accidents. So this means that if a person's driving history isn't impeccable that they can't get hired? No, not always. Most applicants will have some blemishes in their driving records. But the fewer problems an applicant has, the better.
Second, they'll tell you to supply a certified copy of your police record. I don't need to tell you that if an applicant has a few arrests for criminal activity, they're probably not going to get hired. The companies will not hire someone that they have to worry might drive off with a customer's vehicle or property.
Drug testing will just about always be a requirement, for obvious reasons. In addition, appearance will be a big factor. Not that someone needs to be a knockout. We're not talking about looks. But someone who desires to be hired as a valet parking attendant needs to look like a pro. Basically, this means that lots of piercings or tattoos are be a real impediment.
There you have it! So if you pass the test, you have a real good shot at getting the job!
