[QUOTE="pickup, post: 1915101"] To the original poster: Obviously, you've searched the threads so a lot was posted and hopefully you read some of it. As for getting hired on, Yes, it depends on how many feeders retire, how the economy is doing. Yes - who you know( it's not necessary but it helps). And your performance counts. The only thing you can control at this point, is your performance and attitude. If you hit something, like the rear end of another vehicle. That's it, you're gone. So don't hit nuthin'. Get plenty of sleep and don't complain to management. You complain now, they will only suspect you'll be the biggest whiner if you came on full time. I don't know the particulars of your location, if they generally hire off the street, if they use casuals year long so I can't tell you if you will get hired or not. I can tell you that at my hub which ain't anywhere near your hub, they have hired guys off the street quite often, in compliance with the hiring ratio which is currently 6 to 1. Which translates to 5 inside hires(guys from package, car wash) and one transfer and then they can hire the guy off the street. That much being said, we have hired about 30 casuals over the last three years. My hub has hired experienced polished casuals, guys with good attitude and not so stellar skills, and absolute nutcases with questionable work habits. So if you fit in anywhere within this spectrum, you got a chance. Just control what you can control: your performance. Everything else is out of your control. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
