I've been on both sides of the table. Shop owner for the first 15 years of my career. Unfortunately,I was downsized from my last job, due to work being slow and I was the last hired.

So I'm asking.... If you post a job posting, here/newspaper/craigslist and you're asking for resumes, the why when I show up for an interview, am I handed an application, to fill out?

I feel bad if I don't want to... but why should I have to copy, all of what I've already emailed you? Might I mention, that I always show up with a copy, for the few, whose printers aren't working.... I remember the days, when "mechanics" { we weren't technicians back then} knew nothing of a resume in our field.

I realize some corporations, have their own " specialized" forms.... But for the independent shop owner? Just wanted to hear what other think on this
