Who We Are Looking For
Simon Sinek says most people show up to work asking "What's in it for me?"
The rare ones show up asking "What can I contribute?"
For the record: If you're still asking the first question, you need not apply.
You might be the kind of person we're building Chick-fil-A Hueytown around if…
- Being average feels like a personal betrayal. You've never considered doing less than your best...not out of duty, but because anything else would make you into someone you don't recognize.
-Slow teammates and low standards don't just frustrate you, they exhaust you. "That's not my job" is the language of people you don't respect.
- You own mistakes faster than most people make them, knowing humility unlocks everything else. You move toward problems when everyone else backs up. You take coaching without defending yourself because getting better matters infinitely more than being right.
- You refuse to let a customer receive anything less than your very best, not because someone's watching, but because you're watching. You take pride in work no one sees: the corners, the details, the small bets on excellence that separate the memorable from the forgotten.
- You thrive around elite people and consider yourself part of that category without apology. You're genuinely uncomfortable around average people, not because you judge them, but because mediocrity is contagious and you've worked too hard to risk infection.
- You'd rather figure it out in real time than wait for permission. You always figure it out. You always give it your best. You never give up.
If this describes you, we should talk.
