well hell then I need not even go lmao.. I'm about halfway done with my associates. the only experience I have is working on avionics components and generators on helicopters for 5 years in the Marines..

No you should go! You never know who is going to be at your hiring session. None of us that were at this one can go to the next one. I think I'd have to wait a year to apply for it again.

yeah I'm going. 27 an hour ain't bad. I know I can learn and do the job. I just won't look very fancy on paper. anyone have any tips on what to say during the interview process?

Someone asked a question, I gave the obvious answer.

I haven't helped a single person on this site get a job. But what does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Secondly, I don't sell microwaves, Nancy.

Dr. Cox?

Nope, just a job description and an interview, they usually consist of about 28 people.

[bobs94formula]

Damn that was quick from testing to interview! Sucks you didn't get it. How many people interviewing vs number of openings?

[motoman]

working right now on an extra board. Work till you hit 6 days on and get 2 days off or work 5 days take a sick day to earn more money. 12 hour shifts.

Worked out west and down south when I first got hired they paid for my room and I just hung out. Worked 5 days on with 2 days off. Worked only 7 hrs or sometimes 4-5 tying up at 7. Pay sucked but still at least 2.4k a month before taxes/dues.
