Ok gents interview was at 9am.......I feel good about it, but just not sure about the job. It's not a career position, so no bene's, the hours are not guaranteed.....basically I will be a carrier's assistant, and when they are off then I work, so we're looking at Sat & Sun only right now.
I was informed I will probably work 5-7 days a week, BUT only guaranteed really Sunday.......however I will be paid for 8 hours whether I get my route finished in 5 hours OR if I finish my route in 12.
I feel like this may be a scare tactic and after 90 days the people who can handle it and work efficiently will be hired on and the others let go.
My only beef is I want, no NEED at least 40hrs a week. The plus side is I will not have to use my own car.
I probably will not know anything for another 2 months, but wanted to give you all an update......thanks guys

Like I was telling you earlier today, most folks start out as a PT Floater. Which means you end up covering multiple routes on FT folks' days off. My step-dad did this ended up working 40+ a week every week.

Post Office sent me a "conditional job offer" Meaning they have to do a background & drug test. I spoke with the wife, and we are going ahead and taking the gamble. I accepted the position, now it could be another 2 months before I am officially hired. In that time Anthem could call, and I'll be honest, I'll probably take that job...............................here's to the post office not dragging their feet though, keep the ju ju coming fellas, and thanks for pulling for me.

Thanks brah! A guy at the shop was saying it's tough looking for a job (he's 64 & lost his job....sad) then he said, well at least you're not in your 50's or 60's....I "No, I'm 49!!!!"
He said, yeah I know, but you're still young enough that they will accept you ha ha

Thank you sir!
Yeah, that's what I've heard........do you remember how long it took her? Just out of curiosity's sake. I've heard 90 days, and I've heard as little as 2 months.
Yay!!!
(I'm currently updating my resume because this place has worn me down like a 20 year old mattress)

Yea, I'm definitely not cut for that line of work. I'm hoping to dive deeper into supply chain management or the financial side of budget spending and tracking. I just suck at building a decent resume.Good luck Doug, They are still hiring
Btw, we're definitely busting out the good stuff next weekend, to celebrate this milestone for ya!

You know brother, I remember it taking a few months but, as one of the other brothers said, she got overtime almost every week due to filling in here and there. I wouldn't hold my breath on the overtime thing but you never know.

Yeah, i'm not counting on OT, but I believe I will get it.....summer is coming up and people will be on vaca's and just taking time off, that's when Mick reaps the rewards
