Description
Image of milk bottle with text, using milk metaphor for manager recreuitment message. On a tan background, a beige milk bottle stands on a checker pattern in turquoise and mustard yellow. Bottle cap with the same checker pattern and orange. At center, a circular “label” on milk bottle reads: Milk. An orange cow is in two parts. Below: T. G. I. F R I D A Y’ S. In turquoise at the top of the bottle: The cream always rises to the top, as the old / saying goes. Now we’re looking for the / crème de la crème – the best of the best - / among us. Because we need more good / managers with the ability it takes to / effectively motivate and supervise people. / We know we can skim off that kind of talent / right here in house – and not just among our / department heads. After all each and every / one of you are responsible for our phenomenally / successful operation. And it’s a fact that over 70% / of Friday’s managers were once hourly employees. / So if you’re the kind of person who can really deliver, / think about becoming a Friday’s manager. Because / although we’re filled with the very best, there’s still a little / room at the top. / Talk to your General Manager or call the Personnel Office in Dallas, / (214) 233-2900, for details.
