ATTENTION GIRLS WANTING TO APPLY TO HOOTERS.


Okay here is a post for girls wanting to apply at Hooters. I am doing this post for a few reasons, first because a huge portion of the views I get are from people googling questions on how to get hired and such. Another reason I am writing this is from stupid people that come in and apply and do the dumbest shit ever so I figured if I could enlighten a few of you Hooters Hopefuls then it would be a successful day.

When applying at Hooters DON’T:

-Come in during any rush. Seriously. On what planet does it make sense for you to come in at 1200 or 600 when we are busy serving people? You did want to get hired correct? The best times to come in are from 2-4 Mondays – Thursdays. If you’re the dumb bitch that comes in during our lunch rush asking for an application I can promise you it gets thrown out the second you leave. Honest to freaken god truth.

-Come in with your boobs hanging all the way out of your shirt. This happens all the time and I just don’t get it. Yes it is a job based on having a nice body and good …assets but really. We are the girls next door, not flown in from skank-town on your slut-mobile. I will write about good things to wear further down.

-Come in with all your tattoos completely showing.

-Come in with your hair up. I just don’t get why you would do this. And soooo many girls do this! You have been to Hooters, you know what the uniform is! Hair down. Every day. So why on earth would you come in with your hair up? When the manager is doing your initial interview they are trying to see what you would look like in your uniform so when your hair is up there are multiple things going on in their head. 1. You look ugly with your hair down that’s why its up. 2. You have ugly hair. 3.You are mayor of frumpy-town. 4. You are obviously an idoit for going to apply with hair up like that. So in case I haven’t made myself clear. WHEN YOU APPLY AT HOOTERS DO NOT JUST THROW IT UP IN A PONY TAIL. ACTUALLY STYLE YOUR HAIR. Okay? Great!

-Come in with friends for moral support. Yes that sounds like an obvious one but really we have had people come in with a group of friends and only one is applying. Weak.

 

Alright I cant think of anymore right now so lets work on what you SHOULD do when applying:

-Wear something cute. Yes I said cute. Not sexy, slutty, whorey, STD’y, or anything else. A skirt and a cute top works lovely. Your top should show you have boobs but not in a literal sense. We do not want skanks working here, that would fuck up this whole family vibe thing we have going on. Just think about your kid, or little brother or sister. Would you want the skank from down the street serving them food? No. Well I hope the answer is no otherwise you are kinda fucked up. Anywho, when you come in dressy classy cute. Skinny jeans and a cute top works too. If its winter do not come in with a mini skirt and a tank top on because no one will focus on your cute factor they will just think you are a crazy person.

-Cover up any tattoos that show and take out any facial piercings. In the uniform you cannot show any tattoos or facial piercings, besides one stud per ear. And no, you cannot wear the plastic space holder either, cuz sorry dude we can totally see it just as if you were wearing an actual piercing.

-Wear makeup. Did you hear that wear make up! Here one more time, WEAR MAKE UP. You will be expected to wear make up daily so wear some to the damn interview! Foundation, blush, bronzer, eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. To start with. Just saying.

-Like I said before make sure you come in from 2-4 Monday through Thursday. That way a manager will sit with you after you apply and give your first intial interview. And maybe you will luck out like me and get hired on the spot!

 

Alright that’s all I can think of, just comment on here with anymore questions or send your questions to the blog. I haven’t worked here that long but I have seen a ton of shit so I can answer your questions!

 

Thank youuu, BD :)

    But anyway, I've been considering applying to become a hooters girl! One thing I'm worried about is that I may be too tall :-/ I'm 5'10.5''. It just seems as if there are hardly any hooters girls as tall as I am...

  7. I went in, and did everything you said to apply. An assistant manager spoke with me and told me the gm would get back to me the following week. That was today, and they did. I interviewed with the gm and he seemed to really like me and the girls working were very nice as well. He told me I should know by this Wednesday. He also said that he liked my answer as to why I should be chosen. Do you think I've got a good chance?

  9. I have red and black hair, (red on top and black on the bottom) is that too unnatural for hooters?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes. You need to have "natural" and healthy condition hair. Even highlights aren't very much allowed unless they look natural. It's in their handbook

    1. As long as you look fit in the uniform that's what will matter. They make you try it on early on in the hiring process.

  12. Would they hire me if I have ombre hair? Its black on top and caramel brown on bottom.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I got hired with "ombre" hair except it's only really ombre if it gradients into three colors. So basically I got hired with a dip-dye, which is what you're describing. I have straight dark brown hair that had light brown ends before I went completely back to brown and they had no problem with it. Some of the other girls have dip dyes as well.

  13. What about a small tasteful Monroe piercing? I've had it for 10 years & worked in corporate America & I'd say 98% of people never noticed it. The ones who did loved it & complimented it.

    Are there curvy girls who work at hooters? And do the uniforms really only come in XXS, XS, & small? I'm a busty girl & wear Medium lol and I'm a size 8 with a bubble butt so Large in bottoms. I'm beautiful & would like to apply but not if the uniforms won't fit! Thx for the help!

    1. Even my 1.5 mm tasteful nose stud is a no-no. I don't have to take it out though, I just cover it with hospital tape and foundation. This method is in-detectable and it worked for me when I worked at Abercrombie & Fitch, which is very strict on appearance. Even more so than Hooters.

      As far as the uniforms. They're really exaggerated. Think about it, is every girl working there an extra small? OF COURSE NOT. I believe that an XS translates to Medium in Hooters sizes. I will find out this week when I get my uniform. I'm a size 8 too girl, you'll be just fine.

  14. do they hire girls with short hair

  15. Do you have to have big boobs? I have a butt except my boobs are small. My mom worked at hooters when she had no boobs and had a butt That was 20 years ago though, so not sure if it's different now.

    1. 34B employee here. No, you don't have to have big boobs. I feel like that would just be ridiculous, as not every single person is into that.

  16. Im a size 9 in shorts and probably a medium in the top. Ive always had a weight issue until recently ive lost 10 pds ( : whoot whoot. Im about to be 18 the 24th should I go in and shoot for it ? I really would love to be a hooters girl im a blonde with nice titss and an okish ass !

    1. I think you'll be alright, not every company criticizes your weight to the exact limit. I worked at Abercrombie and Fitch as a model and I was a medium at the top and a size 8 in pants, and that's a place just like Hooters you would think had a certain requirement for appearance. I think you'll be okay, a size 9 isn't even big.

  17. Are shorts okay for an interview?

  18. I have marks on my legs , would this be a problem ? Could I just airbrush my legs ? I've played sports a majority if my life and my parents thought hooters would be a great job, except I don't think they notice how beat uo my legs are -.- .... No negative comments please !

    1. you wear panty hose. No one sees the skin on your legs. Unless those marks are black/high contrast neon, no one will see them.

  21. I noticed that most girls are worried about their boobs not being big enough, but they say they have a nice but, I dont have big boobs or anything but I was wondering if a size 3 in jeans would be alright? and if would even be considered for a position if I have no experience especially in the food industry? * I'm about to turn 18
    -thanks

  22. None of the things in this post are absolutely, positively necessary or true! I am a Hooters Girl and have been for 2 years now. I came in with my hair up and lip ring in. I didn't know anything about Hooters prior to applying and you know what? I was hired on the spot! If you are beautiful, fun AND smart, you've got it in the bag regardless.

    1. Does everyone who is hired get second interviews on the spot or do they sometimes call girls for a second interview?

I also need a fax number for the corporate office to send my résumé. I KNOW I'm perfect for the job openings at the Greenville, NC Hooters. I'm not an idiot I promise but I need some help like seriously!!! I am a single mother of 3 daughters and I am in desperate need of a job immediately.

  36. It's one thing to want to work for hooters and to be glad but the way your downgrading folks sounds very arrogant and not humble at all.I have worked as. A waitress at many casinos and on boats and very high class places but I would never talk to people like you just did. First of all hooters is filled with fake looking women and midgets and is not all of that.I could walk in hooters to eat and gain attention from the dusty men who come up in there and with my clothes alone on. For you to bash people with tattoos or who are new to hooters or who might or might have made a mistake trying to be a low key call girl for Hooters is out of character and conduct.I don't know what planet your ass came from but honey sugar you need to fly your ass back.You got serious problems. Get your mind right BITCH!

  37. Hi. So i have finally made it to the point of my audition. I am so stoked! I have my fitting and i am so nervous. I went out and bought some nylons. They are the suntan color. They just dont look like all the other girls. Also they told me they will be taking my picture . should i do curly or straight? I want to look very professional and flattering. I love your post. You get straight to it girl! So last but not least. Will they tell me the day of my fitting if i am hired?

  38. Hi have applied to several Hooters locations. I have interviews and I personally feel like they go very well, but I never get a call back or ever get hired. I am attractive, in nice shape and size, I know how to do my make up very well and I have work experience yet they say I'm exactly what they're "looking for" but not at this time but have stated that they WERE hiring. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong or what could be the problem. Any ideas? Advice? Should I just let it go?

  41. I live in a bigger city where lots of women have hair color, but I have it and it frames my personality. When I had black hair I looked evil, but now I look more youthful and approachable. It's blue and I have a job now, but when I come home from University this summer I want to be accepted into a job that is more than likely based off of looks and curves? Do you think they would make an acceptation for my blue hair even with all my necessary skills?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Im 5'2", pale as hell, and have really layered blonde hair. I know they go for that "surfer-girl next door" look, but do you think they'd hire me?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Agreed. I work at Hooters and most of this is just unnecessary and sounds like a ditzy bitch who had to try too hard to get this basic ass job. Just wear makeup, don't show tattoos and show personality. Other than the makeup you should do that for ANY job interview.

    ReplyDelete
  44. This is stuff I already knew but ooh girl you aren't going to be making any money at your job w that nasty attitude. Please just stop embarrassing yourself..

  45. I'm a medium in shirts and a size 12 in jeans. 36C and medium buns. I do have a little bit of tummy but do you think I can pull it off?

  46. I never wear any makeup.... would like basic eyeliner and stuff be enough or do I have to do like a whole face like I'm on stage again with blush and all that jazz? Like how heavy does the makeup have to be?

  47. I am planning on applying sometime soon. But i asked about the hostess job, i asked some of the hooters girls. They said i have the right body. I am 16 almost 17, they said that i could be hired. I am not really confident though. My mother is fine with me working there but the rest of my family seem to think i am becoming a whore. :( i dont know if i should go ahead and apply. Do i have to wear makeup i never do my makeup. How should i do it???

  48. If you have tattoos just buy dermablend and dermablend loose setting powder!! Watch tutorials! It covers up any tattoos flawlessly!
