I started as a temporary working in December, but now I’ve been here for 3 months at the same pay. Is that normal? I don’t know how to bring up the conversation about becoming a permanent employee, should I still be making 7.25?
How can I get hired at Hot Topic as a recent grad?
Just apply online. They will put you in a wait list whether they are hiring or not. When they DO start to accept applications they start from the oldest to the most recent. So I would say just hurry and apply online and check in every once in a while to see if they’ve started the hiring process.
What kind of people does Hot Topic like to hire?
It seems to me that they like people who are in tune with the products they like to sell. For instance, I wouldn’t come off as a try hard in the goth scene but knowing a lot about the latest in music and anime and other pop genres definitely gives you a one up.

I got a package that I never ordered. I don’t use this company. I am a senior citizen and a package came to my job with no invoice in it and the people who work for you. They don’t even know their job.
