I work at Goodwill and the other day I had a woman who came through my line and she didn't have much money. She was buying a few t-shirts and when i rang her out she counted some change very slowly. My coworker out of nowhere tells her she couldn't do that and asked her to leave the store. I said I was sorry and told the woman to please wait a few moments. I went and grabbed my boss from the back because I could tell she truly needed those items and we can't refuse service like that. My boss ended up giving that lady the shirts and we considered it a donation. She then promptly fired my coworker on the spot. I feel so bad. Did i do the wrong thing?
What I loved about working at (Goodwill Industries)'', was the feel of the energy around being part of a team to bring support to others.'' ''Plus I'm a hands-on , energetic type person who stays determined to fulfill my mission!''
Hi. I´m looking for a job in goodwill as a stocker or arranging clothes!!!... Someone can give me more info about this?
Most job fairs require professional dress, but what does that mean exactly?
Think of professional dress as the type of clothing that you would wear to an interview. You want to dress to impress the employer and create a positive first impression!
Here are some suggestions to help:
For Women
-Stick to solid colors (avoid busy patterns so the focus is on your face) -A suit with a button up shirt worn underneath -Mid-length skirt (a little below the knee and/or longer) paired with a coordinated blouse -Modest shoes (Closed-toe pumps are a safe bet and look very professional) -Limited jewelry (avoid flashy, again the focus is on YOU) -Light makeup and very little perfume (one spray a few hours beforehand if you must) -Manicured nails (avoid chipped and overly bright nail polish, think neutrals)
For Men
-Stick to solid colors -A suit (if you can't wear a suit consider wearing your best dress shirt, pants, and a tie) -Long sleeve button up shirt (again a solid color) and coordinating dress pants -Conservative tie (stick to solids no crazy patterns, logos, etc.) -Professional dress shoes (no sneakers) -Limited jewelry -Trimmed/well-groomed facial hair -Go easy on the aftershave or cologne (it could overpower the interviewer) -Neat and clean trimmed nails

If you need some interview clothing but you're short on cash, you can always explore your local Goodwill, Savers, or Salvation Army. I have done this myself and it saves a lot of money.
NOW is the time to pick out your job fair attire or shop for it. Try different things on at home and see how you feel in them! Once you are comfortable in your interview attire, you will exude confidence to prospective employers. Be sure to iron and lay the outfit out the night before so it's all set to go.
Good luck!! : )
I have worked with them for four years and really hate to leave. However, I had an accident last February which resulted with a fractured hip and nerve damage in my left arm. I'm unable to stand for four hours a day. I need a sit down job.
When regular shoppers at Goodwill see me roll out my rack full of new clothes to put on the floor, a few come over usually and start picking through the fresh shirts or whatever. the more they take, the fewer I had to put on the floor. Thanks guys!
the manager and boss were very nice we all got along well...doing the textile was very nice i enjoyed sorting tagging and hangingthe clothes
Dont expect to make much money working here but u will work with nice people who care
