1. 7 Eleven Past Present Future

2. The Past 7 Eleven, Inc was founded in 1927 in Dallas. The name originated in 1946 because the store was open from 7am to 11pm.

3. Human Resources of the Past: Hiring In the late 1920’s when 7 Eleven opened, employees would have to go to the store and apply in person. Applications were filled out by hand.

4. Hiring in the Past (continued) After the applications were filled they would have to be separated (by hand) into the jobs that were being applied for (cashier, manager or any executive positions). Managers would have to struggle to sometimes read applications with ugly handwriting.

5. Hiring in the Past (the end) After countless hours going through applications (looking for proper education and experience) and interviews the right person for the job would be found.

10. 7 Eleven in the Future

11. Human Resources in the Future: Hiring Hiring will probably not change much in the future since managers will still need to get a feel of what the future employee is like in person. Applications online will continue but so will in person applications. Future employees will need to be more qualified to work in a convenience store, so a general technology knowledge test will be administered.

12. Hiring in the Future (cont.) The tests and applications will be done on line, even if applying in person, at a central location, so that managers can go to a central online site to search for employees. All the manager will have to do is go online and type in several characteristics of the type of employee he/she needs, wait a few seconds and a list of employees that fit this description will come up. Managers will then choose which ones are interview worthy.

13. Hiring in the Future (the end) Once the manager chooses several application, the applicants can be call for interviews. The interview will be done either in person or by video conferencing. Hiring employees will still be an easy task for mangers.
