My boss and the regional manager of three different marijuana shops has been breathing down my neck to hire someone to fill the budtender position.
I have been doing my best to find the right person for that job.
I don’t want to hire someone that doesn’t have any experience at all, because the marijuana dispensary is busy all of the time. We are close to the interstate and we have the best deals on concentrates in the entire county. We offer free delivery services seven days a week. We have a cash back program that allows customers to save points that can be applied to their purchase later down the road. We constantly have people walking in and out of the shop. I need someone that can hit the ground running. I need a person that has a good amount of knowledge on marijuana products. I interviewed a couple of people last week and one of them was a good candidate. Unfortunately, the guy did not pass the background check. My boss gave me a list of people this morning in an email and she told me to interview each one of them this week. I called a couple of the people but they didn’t answer the phone. I have an interview with one of the other clients tomorrow. I know that my boss wants me to get someone to fill the position, but it’s going to take a lot more time if I hire someone that doesn’t know anything at all about medical and recreational marijuana sales and education.
