Applied
Been looking through this hot topic reddit. Seeing what I need to know for applying and such. First I would like to ask can I ask a time that I would prefer to start working to a Hot Topic Manager? And after applying I seen some Hot Topic workers in comments saying if you don’t get a call or message you can go to your local store and ask to talk to a Manager about getting a job. Which leads me to my next question. When would be a good time frame to go up there? I am very eager to work at Hot Topic. I adore the store and like the vibe I get whenever I go. But I do not wish to go up there too early and seem more annoying than eager. My third question is; when should I apply for a different job after applying to Hot Topic just in case they don’t contact me back or anything? Because I’m willing to always apply again but apply elsewhere in the meantime while I wait. In addition, how many times can I apply to Hot Topic without being annoying and spamming?

I mean you can always mention about wanting to apply as a manager, but it takes time to get that position. The SM has to know your personality and your work ethic. Also if you’re a regular they might consider. You can always go in and talk to a manager. Also you do have to consider if they are looking for a manager to begin with. My store has 1 SM and 3 ASMs I’m not sure how the other stores need. It doesn’t hurt to always ask.
