Managers appreciate skills, but want a warm body that won't bail in a couple of months, forcing the manager to cover the shifts themselves. A good beer example

Managers appreciate skills, but want a warm body that won't bail in a couple of months, forcing the manager to cover the shifts themselves. A good beer example of how to get past that filter was the father of a childhood friend. He worked for a beer distributor all through college (back when drinking age was 18), and was wildly popular among friends for always knowing where the biggest parties were going to be every weekend. They knew he was going to be around for 3-4 years at least, so they could plan ahead (and probably count on him recommending someone for the job when he graduated).
