Mensan Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 They used to have a group of people that they pulled from, are they no longer doing that? Or is this in addition? I was one of the people they called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUMBLER1647545517 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Very interested, do you know how the smoking policy works? I quit years ago but have an occasional smoke or cigar now and then. 3 months, 6 months, etc? If I can pass that hurdle, how do I apply?

zeitgeist57 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 PM me and I'll give you my email address for a resume... Unfortunately, I don't control the process so I can't speak on the smoking policy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I have a serious interest in this, but.. i cant even imagine how you focus a resume for this. This seems right up my ally, but i have no experience in this. Do they do training for people who have never done this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 As I'm finding out with a lot of larger companies these days, for certain positions it's almost more important to have people that the company can trust will stay in the role for the timeframe allotted. I've talked to recent hires where I work, and while the experience isn't in question, company loyalty is: training costs time and money to a company, and reduces productivity. If you're a solid person with good work background and are eager for this role, that will go a long way. If they mention a two-year commitment in the job description, I think they are more serious about stable Central Ohioans that don't have a desire to move to the next job making $1/hr more, or looking to move out of the area at first opportunity.

Flyin Miata Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 They used to have a group of people that they pulled from, are they no longer doing that? Or is this in addition? I was one of the people they called. I used to do that when I was still in school. Everyone month or so they'd email me and I'd go in for about 20 minutes. They give you whatever it is you are testing (once I got to try the breakfast stuff before it was out in the restaurants), answer some questions on a computer, and walk out with $20. Obviously this is a lot more commitment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
