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 :)
I hope you see this comment!
ReplyDeleteBut 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...
I have applied to 2 different hooters location and I love your posts and pray I will become a hooters girl one day I just want some pointers on what to say at the initial first interview
ReplyDeleteHey! So if tattoos show that a no no off jump?
ReplyDeleteHow old do you have to be to work at hooters? Say you graduated at 16 and plan on applying at 17 could you still get the job?
ReplyDeletegod you sound like trash no wonder you degrade yourself like that
ReplyDeleteI pity you
DeleteYeah no one really cares about your opinion. They care about hers. That's why they're here.
DeleteI have my hair in a pixie cut. Would they still hire me or should I look elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteYes they will hire you I went to a hooters with my mom and there was one HG there with short hair
DeleteI 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?
ReplyDeletePlease say what you said, you would help out alot!
DeleteI worked for hooters for five years, this is spot on! Great advice :)
ReplyDeleteI have red and black hair, (red on top and black on the bottom) is that too unnatural for hooters?
ReplyDeleteYes. 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
DeleteHello I am 17 and very curvy I have a little tummy do u think they will hire me for on floor if I turn 18 the next week
ReplyDeleteAs 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.
DeleteI have a tattoo on my shoulder, thats a no no automatically right?
ReplyDeleteI have 6 tattoos and one is really big on my leg, I also have a shoulder tattoo. I have been working at hooters for 3 years now. I bought the kat von d tattoo concealer and nobody even knows about any of my tattoos soooo theres your answer :)
DeleteHi! I recently got hired and I use dermablend on my shoulder...im just worried about it getting on the uniform strap...is this a problem?
DeleteHi! I recently got hired and I use dermablend on my shoulder...im just worried about it getting on the uniform strap...is this a problem?
DeleteWould they hire me if I have ombre hair? Its black on top and caramel brown on bottom.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
DeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteAre 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!
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.
DeleteAs 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.
do they hire girls with short hair
ReplyDeleteYes they do. They have girls here with short hair.
DeleteDo 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.
ReplyDelete34B 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.
DeleteIm 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 !
ReplyDeleteI 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.
DeleteAre shorts okay for an interview?
ReplyDeleteI 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 !
ReplyDeleteyou wear panty hose. No one sees the skin on your legs. Unless those marks are black/high contrast neon, no one will see them.

ReplyDeleteI've only have had one job in the food industry all of my work experience is really retail customer service but I do know I have the looks and personality i'm also a fast learner and catch on quickly do you think they would give me a chance
ReplyDeleteYes probably
DeleteYes probably
DeleteI 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
ReplyDelete-thanks
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.
ReplyDeleteDoes everyone who is hired get second interviews on the spot or do they sometimes call girls for a second interview?
DeleteI been wanting to apply lately and was wondering if my butt is too big. I'm really curvy which means I wear a size 11/12/13 depending on how big the pants run.
ReplyDeleteI have natural curly hair is that an issue when applying?
ReplyDeleteHello I would like to apply but I have tattoos all over my body, its that a problem?
ReplyDeleteHonestly they are really particular. They may not hire you with guaged ears
DeleteWell that posted to the wrong comment sorry just cover your tattoos with make up
DeleteLove how is post is real!
ReplyDeleteBOOM! ROASTED! *mic drop*
ReplyDeleteWhat's the stand on gauges could I wear nude gauges
ReplyDeleteI wear a size 12 and have a little tummy and arms, do you think they'd hire me?
ReplyDeleteso this may sound stupid but i have like really big boobs like 34DDD but i wear like an 8 in bottoms would hooters be ok with me having this large of a chest?
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain girl. I'm considering applying (I just turned 18) but I'm a size 7 pants and a 36F bra size.... (I'm still not sure how that happened haha) Please comment how it goes, I would love to know from someone with similar proportions as me.
DeleteI just got hired and I'm a size 7 with 32DDD bra
DeleteFORMER/CURRENT HOOTER GIRLS, where do I find suntan panty hoes? For a reasonable price, so I can buy a few. Also that last.
DeleteI was wondering the same thing going into hiring process. I wear a size 8 as well with a 34G bra size and was hired early in the summer.
DeleteI work at hooters, I'm 4'11 130lbs. I HAVE tattoos, and my nose and lip pierced and they don't care. My curves and tattoos and piercings WERE excepted so was my short hair. And yes I have big boobs. But I'm not flashing them all over the place.
ReplyDeleteAccepted* and its against corporate policy for managers to allow those things. Its only a matter of time before corp comes in and bitches.
DeleteI am a size 4 and 5'2 but I have a slight gut do you think that would be an issue? I know it depends on that particular manager but I just want some opinions
ReplyDeleteI worked with a few girls with a gut to say the least
DeleteHello everyone ok so I always wonder will it will be like working at hooters sense I'm always up for trying new things I recently applied online and was told to come in person Mon through Thursday to feel out an application and bring your resume and dress casual so today this morning I got myself ready cute yellow top that's shows I have boobs but no slutt.Some nice skinny jeans and sum nice flat shoes hair is pull down to my face and my make up is Done and my resume I's in my bag I really hope I get it because no I don't have large breast but I have a nice shape and I believe I will look good in them shorts lol I don't have any tac toos I'm a very likeable person I can get along with anyone I meet and I take critisim very well better then most so yea it's pooring down raining and I'm still heading there wish me luck you guys I hope I got this
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to be a Hooter's girl--but I"m 33. Is that too old?
ReplyDeleteI'm 38 and thinking of applying as well...I don't think it's an age limit thing, but I do think they look for young looking. I can easily still pass for mid to late 20s...I'm more worried about my belly than my age...
DeleteI'm having an extremely hard time with the online application. It would be super helpful to have someone actually sit down and go through the process with me. 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. My email is jennydterry10@gmail.com and my phone number is 252-325-2377...My name is Jennifer McClure (Jenny) PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt'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!
ReplyDeleteHi. 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?
ReplyDeleteHi 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?
ReplyDeleteCan someone reply
DeleteSeriously
DeleteGirl same!
DeleteSo I have my eyebrow and my no pireced. I understand that you can't have them but I was just wondering why you can't show them.
ReplyDeletedo i need a resume?
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteNo, they're very strict
DeleteIm 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?
ReplyDeleteAgreed. 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.
ReplyDeleteCould i come in on a Friday??
ReplyDeleteThis 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..
ReplyDeleteI'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?
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteI 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???
ReplyDeleteIf you have tattoos just buy dermablend and dermablend loose setting powder!! Watch tutorials! It covers up any tattoos flawlessly!
ReplyDeleteCan you wear glasses as a hooters girl? I wear glasses because I am blind as a bat.
ReplyDeletewhat kind of picture should i submit with my online application?
ReplyDeleteSo, I have really short hair. is that a problem?
ReplyDeleteI can tell that this was written by a Hooters girl. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm 17 and planning on applying when I turn 18. I'm extremely curvy and where 15 in shorts and a large to extra large in a top. I'm scared that they won't hire me because of that.
ReplyDeleteI also have gauges in my ears would they not hire me or should I get clear or skin colored plug and I'll be okay? Please help :(
