interview #1

Rex322 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-23-2006, 02:19 PM

oh man, cross your fingers guys. i went to the garbage man job, and it sounds good. i almost fell out of my chair when he told me how much it pays. its salary, $105/day. a day is considered 6 hrs, so if i were to finish my route in 6 hrs, i get paid for 8. he said if i do the math, it comes to around $15/hr! it gets better. it comes with full benefits!!!!!!!!!!! medical, eye, and dental!. im think i have a good chance with this place. they sent me to get a physical and drug test, which only makes me believe their at least seriously thinking about me hiring. there is 11 spots available. and i guess the union they are part of is threatening to strike, so he said i could hear from him as early as sunday or monday. he also assured me that if i get hired due to them striking, when they went off strike i would not be fired because of it. i really hope i get this job.

Good job man!!! Hope you get it! But sounds like you did if they are spending money on getting drug tests.

sounds great! congrats!

Rex322 · #4 (**permalink**) 02-23-2006, 02:49 PM

yea, im kind of nervous about it. thanks for the luck guys, i really want this job

Heidi · #5 (**permalink**) 02-23-2006, 03:12 PM

Sounds like a congrats is in order. No way are they going to pay for a physical and screening without wanting to hire you. That's my theory at least. Full benefits!!!! Horray!!!!

redtail1 · #6 (**permalink**) 02-23-2006, 03:29 PM

I think that Heidi is right... they prob wouldn't send you for a phy. & screening if they weren't seriously thinking of hireing you. I do hope a congrats are in order. with benefits as well that's great!

Congradulations

Good luck on that job, although from the sound of it, you don't need the luck

im in flint, michigan. minimum wage here is $5.25 i believe. i do need the luck, although it sounds as if i have the job. i went to an interview before where the guy said i was his last interview, and at the end said i was most qualified for the job and i didnt get hired. some scuzzy looking kid got it instead.

You're snakes will be living large in no time. It does feel good to work for a living. I go crazy sometimes trying to keep my job and sometimes feel like it just gets in the way of my life but I am so lucky to have a job where I can raise my kids and work at the same time. I do not take for granted that I have the best of both worlds.

Rex322 · #13 (**permalink**) 02-23-2006, 04:12 PM

yea, i need a job lol. i cant imagine not having one, especially since im out of school now.

Jem_Scout · #14 (**permalink**) 02-23-2006, 04:37 PM

Way to go Rex! Maybe you'll have to start looking for a mini farmette to rent and start raising rabbits to feed to the snakes! Gotta have a freezer too ya know!

I hope this works out for you!

Alika · #15 (**permalink**) 02-23-2006, 05:21 PM

Good luck! That's some good money, and a good dirty job (I like dirty jobs... they're so fulfilling!) I hope you get it.

amercnwmn · #16 (**permalink**) 02-23-2006, 06:07 PM

Sounds like you got it to me too...
Flint sounds like NW Arkansas as far as pay rates go....You will be making more than my hubby does as a Licensed Journeyman Electrician with over 5 yrs experience...Pretty pathetic huh?
Thinkin we may move to Texas soon!
