working at coldstone creamery?
i'm looking for a job to pay for senior year expenses, and i was thinking about coldstone creamery. it sounds fun, and i love people, and can sing well. i heard that to apply, you have to, in a way, "try out"? and another thing, i have basically no arm strength, and as weird as it sounds, would that impact it in any way (since i'd be scooping out ice cream)? any help is appreciated (:

Hey, my best friend who lives in Maryland works at Coldstone. Her mom decorates cake there, she and her older brother scoop ice-cream. Their family is always talking about how awesome it is - the people that work there are really fun to be around, and even though there's singing involved, I wouldn't worry - that's the most fun part! Even though soem people may not have the best voices. But that's makes it even funnier!
Oh, and my friend (16 yrs old) isn't extremely strong or anything, so I don't think you have to worry about that. She told me once that you get used to it after awhile and it's a great workout too! :-P
Anyway, have fun! Good luck. :)

I have had friends who worked there who HATED it. You get really bad hours and you are paid exactly minimum wage.
A less "fun" job will pay better...so you can work at Coldstone, make minimum wage but have fun, or work at like Walgreen's (only example I know, lol) and make $8.80 an hour with commission. It's your choice.
Also, they're very hard to get into, since obviously a lot of people want to work there.

Coldstone Creamery would probably be a fun job. The atmosphere is neat and you'll probably meet a lot of new and cool people. The thing is, if you're obsessed with icecream, you may want to rethink it. Usually people who get jobs around food, start to dislike it after awhile because either they're sick of looking at it or end up eating it. If you don't have a problem with either of those, then go for it. I heard that Coldstone wasn't an exactly easy job to get, but you do need to "tryout". As long as you work hard and are dedicated, you'll be successful. Don't worry about your arm strength though. They train you and after awhile you'll get used to it. If you have any more questions, try looking on their website.
You can also talk to any employees or managers at the store you want to apply to.
-hope that helped!♥

I love cold stone!!!!! That would be a good start although i don't know how much they pay. I don't think it takes much strength to scoop it out especially since their icecream is pretty soft i think you will be fine as far as the "try out" if you did that is bull because thats a silly way to hire someone people are coming in for the icecream not the singing i mean seriously if they make you try out and then don't hire you because of your voice you should fight that, besides i've heard some pretty horribe singers at cold stone ....also may i make a suggestion? If you are already 18 have you ever considered working at a home for mentally handicapped adults? Some homes have adults there that are a little more indepedent than other homes meaning you really only have to do their shopping cooking sometimes bathing depending on how independent they are and make sure they get their medicine. I'm not sure if you have to have a diploma or not but some places will work with you its really good money and still allows you to have time to do your homework at the same time. You may have to have a diploma though i am not sure but its a good idea if you want to cgeck into it i worked for one during college and i was making 7.75/ hr so its really good money Good luck
