Do they keep the last application or do I have to refill the thinkg out all over again?

[sws4420]

Refill it out again and let me know when you do so. I can call my guy down at HR and guarantee that you at least get tested for the position.

[MedicCook]

It took me forever to fill that thing out last time. I wish I made a copy of it.

[sws4420]

If you get in, the money you'll be making is worth it.

[MedicCook]

That is if I can hold out long enough for a position to open up.

[sws4420]

I can only guarantee you the initial testing. Beyond that, the interviews and all that other shit is up to you.

[MedicCook]

Got my letter with my test date today. Thanks for the reference Bill.

[sws4420]

Great news Ryan, best of luck! :cheer:

[sws4420]

There's something about making a shitload of money that usually helps people's lives go better.

[Cutesunshine]

really?

[MedicCook]

That is fantastic. Good luck with the test, I'll give you some pointers on the interviews when you get there. I feel better knowing you're in the door.

Thanks for the help. Sounds like the test is similar to a civil service type exam.


Great news Ryan, best of luck! :cheer:

Thanks Donna.

I don't need to make a shit load to be happy right now.

[Cutesunshine]

Mo money more problems.
What's nice about there, more than anything, is that you can get your whole entire family insured for like $25 a week. That is worth its weight in gold.

[sws4420]

Of course you don't need a shitload, but when you get in, it'll be good in that respect.

As compared to $840 right now.

[sws4420]

Holy fuck.

[MedicCook]

Holy fuck.

Paying 100% through COBRA.

[sws4420]

wow, it sure is, nice!Know what's funny? You're the only one that will appreciate this. I mentioned on EDG how much I made and how cheap the insurance was and Pat mentioned how meager the salary was and how he could triple it if only I worked for him. It was very amusing.

And what does he do?

[sws4420]

He claims he owns this huge company down in Texas. He's full of shit on a whole host of other things, I don't believe it for a second.

What's the website? :whistle:

[sws4420]

He doesn't have one.

[MedicCook]

No huge company is without a web page. I agree that he is FOS.

[MedicCook]

Bill, I got my letter from MPM saying I passed the asset test and I have an intial interview June 7th. Any tips for the interview process?

[sws4420]

Yeah. Don't fuck it up.

Heh.

I hafta think about the questions they asked me. I'll get back to you.

[MedicCook]

It is going to be at the DOL in Ballston Spa. I have a friend who works there so I will probably stop there this week and talk with her also.
I was hoping they would tell you in the letter how you scored on the test.

It'll be with one of our HR representatives and he'll ask you questions like why you think you'd be a good fit, how hard of a worker you are, etc. Just mention that you and I talked about what I do here and it seems like a good fit for you. You pay very close attention to detail (which you really need to do when you're here), you follow directions to the smallest detail (which you also need to be really good at), you don't mind doing shift work (it helps if you mention you've done it before and you like it, even if you don't like it. There's no way around you working shift work.), and stress that because you're coming out of being a paramedic that you feel you'd be a good fit for our Brigade. I think they'll eat that up.

They don't mention how well you do on this test. It's more of a pass/fail thing.

[MedicCook]

I really thought that the math portion sunk me. It goes to show that 'C' is always a good option. :whistle:

[sws4420]

The next test won't be so loosely graded. It's a decent amount of math, but nothing terribly difficult.
