[QUOTE="andrew99, post: 769164, member: 23431"] Well, gauging by the people they hired on my shift, someone with such a sunny disposition matched with the ability to spell, should garner you the job. Don't talk about injuries, don't talk about politics, don't talk about the junky stuff (people/things) you didn't like at your other jobs. Talk about how you want to have a job you can show up to everyday. Mention you strive for an honest days work for an honest days pay - that should ring true amongst the interviewers. That said, once you get hired, don't reiterate that you NEED the job. Supervisors WILL take advantage of that, and put you in the jobs that have a revolving door of employees opting into a safer or better situation. Always remember you are looking out for yourself. The union, the management, they'll be doing the same. If you feel any sign of injury, regardless of severity, document it. Document it with yourself, document it with your supervisors, let them know that you're serious about leaving the job in the same situation that you came in. I wish you good luck, as someone who spent six years in packages and a year on road, this job isn't for everyone --- don't ever do anything you consider above your payscale or comfort zone. Doing work that you feel unsafe in is never a good idea, regardless of the pressure from supervisors and other dumb hourlies -- always leave work in the same condition which you arrived, and if you're not ---DOCUMENT DOCUMENT DOCUMENT! Have fun, stay safe, and good luck. [/QUOTE]
