✔ Completed Form Analysis

#### 1. Business Information
- Name of Business: Hobby Lobby
- Type of Business: Retail Store
✔ Correct and appropriate classification.

#### 2. Job Duties Listed
The student observed and listed 8 job duties:
1. Stocking
2. Cashiering
3. Cutting Material
4. Greeting Customers
5. Customer Service
6. Inventory
7. Sweeping
8. Answering Phone

✔ These are realistic and accurate duties commonly found in a retail environment like Hobby Lobby.

#### 3. Work Environment Checkboxes
- Noise Level: Loud ☑️
- Uniform Required: Yes ☑️
- Number of People: Many People ☑️
- Clothing Style: Casual ☑️
- Location: Indoors ☑️

✔ These observations align with typical retail environments—busy, indoor, casual attire, uniforms required, etc.

#### 4. Personal Reflection Questions

> What job duties would you want to do the most?
> Answer: *Cashiering and stocking*

✔ Logical choice—these are core customer-facing roles that involve interaction and organization, both engaging tasks.

> Which job duties would you like to do the least?
> Answer: *Sweeping and cleaning the bathrooms*

✔ This is a reasonable preference—many people find cleaning duties less appealing, especially if they're not interested in maintenance tasks.

> Would you like to work at this business?
> Answer: Yes (checked)

✔ A clear and positive response.

> Why?
> Answer: *So I can buy things there*

⚠️ This answer is somewhat superficial. While it's honest, it doesn't reflect deeper motivation such as career development, customer service experience, or interest in the retail field. A stronger answer might include:
> *"Because I enjoy helping customers and working in a busy, creative environment."*

> How could you apply for a job at this place of business?
> Answer: *In person*

✔ Correct. Most retail jobs require in-person applications, often at the store’s front desk or management office.
