General Questions

Why would you like to operate a Student Works territory this summer?*

What skills or traits do you possess that would make you successful in managing a painting business?*

What do you expect to earn over the summer running your own SWP business and how much time will you invest in the pre-season? In the summer months?*

How do you earn this money and how will your business make a profit?*

What are your expectations from Student Works?*

What are your expectations from a District Manager?*

Why it is essential that you do not give up or leave your business?*

Explain your role as a franchisee in both the pre-season and the summer. In other words, what do you do on a weekly or daily basis?*

The information you were given explains that the average person ($78,000 in sales, $20,250 in gross profit) puts 15-20 hours per week into his or her business from late January/early February through to the end of school. This does not include any reading break you may have, the three day January training, or travel to territory time.

If you were to input that kind of time into your current schedule, would it work?*

We recognize that everyone uses 168 hours in a week. This program has been designed for university/college students and has been operating since 1981. We specialize in designing students' schedules to accommodate their commitments while hitting their SWP goals. It is important to realize that time must be diverted from somewhere in order to succeed at this. If someone seeks to be above average, that person will, more often that not, spend more time on his or her business.

How will you create time in your schedule to succeed?*

The average person running a Student Works business sees their expenses (related to business) go up by $1000 to $1500, as per the recruiting materials. This amount is goal dependent and goes to things like gas, cell phone and marketing expenses (assuming you already have a vehicle or full time use of one). Running a business that involves travel from where you go to school will be more expensive depending on the individual situation. None of this money goes to Student Works. We front all of the material, home show, training, and support costs.

Whom would the money you need come from (savings/part time job/parents/line of credit/student loan/etc.)?*

If something unforeseen happened like your car breaking down or some other unanticipated expenses came up, where or whom would you be able to turn to?*
