[QUOTE="✖✖✖, post: 1472984, member: 56390"] I'm considering applying to be a part-time package handler. The website indicates that positions are available in the cities in which I currently live and work (about 40 minutes apart). If I have to, I'm content with having to wait for a couple of months for a position to come available. I'm 25-years-old and work a full-time job with the state. While my benefits are decent, the pay is horrible. In addition to that, I have a lot of free time and the free workout would be good for me. I have no wife or kids so I'm not worried about long days. Right now I work four 10-hour days but could change my schedule to five 8-hour days and be off by 4:30pm (or possibly earlier) each day. Because of that, I think the twilight shift would be my best bet. Every couple of months I have to go to training or meetings that require travel and sometimes overnight stays. Some of the longer training (2-4 days) are voluntary so I could probably avoid those. I know of any training/meetings weeks, if not months, in advance. So here's my question: I know it will probably vary by location but, from your experience, how easy is it to get a day or two off for reasons such as that? Will it be a definite no, or do the supervisors/managers work with you? I show up to work on time and don't call out sick as it is. Obviously I'd ask the same question during the interview but am interested to hear it from those currently working the job because, believe it or not, I've been told things by potential employers that turned out not to be true. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
