well it's over... i was on the verge of a panic attack when i went in.... from what the wife said it doesn't look good.... she said people outside were saying they usually do the drug test and tell you right then....

she said she'll call me back in a week... papers said they do a background check as well.... which takes 3-5 days...

[Mr. Bubbles]

What sort of things did they ask you?

Be optimistic mate, you've come so far......Don't loose hope just yet. I know you'll get the job and if not there missing out on a damn good employee simple as that. Someone of your determination and work ethic will land a nice job. Good luck and keep your wits about you, Cheers

I recently applied at a local grocery store, Country Mart. Turned in the application yesterday, and haven't received a call yet. Hope I get it, I need the money and the work.

Make sure to always call and check up on your application and see what the status is...it does a couple of things...one..it moves your app back to the top..2..it shows that you REALLY want the job and people like to hire people that really want to work and will go beyond the ordinary to get it..

oh that's a given, i always do that... hell, the first place i put in an application i called back for 2 months straight lol.... the damn dude got pissed at me tho.... (? not sure why, if i was a hiring manager i'd of hired me before then, if for nothing else, just to shut me up) and it was starting to become obvious he didn't want me, but had to keep his buisness in order and had to keep talking to me...

anyways.. any doubt is becuase even my brother in TN was applying for the same exact job on the exact same day, which corresponded to what the wife heard from other people there, that they drug test you on the spot, and they didn't even test me...

wasn't much talking or questions... she just basicly asked about the details of me working and making sure i was able to handle the work (lifting 60 pounds, going from hot storage rooms to cool floors to cold freezers and back, etc...)

she asked about my past work history (which is shotty at best) and gave me the oppurtunity to explain why i had quit them... which weren't just 'i don't feel like coming in' so i suppose that'd be as much of a plus as possible considering i quit them....

on that note tho... someone had called in (that had apparently asked for extra hours) and was trying to say they couldn't come in (apparently because they had no ride) and the woman said "well, if you still want to have a job i'd suggest you start walking or something, you asked for extra hours and you got them...."

then after she got off the phone she was said 'oh no she didn't' and called up another manager to fill her spot.... lol maybe them getting fired will work to my benefit

What's Krogers?

Hopefully you get the job, man. That's good that they didn't drug test you. I didn't get drug tested when I interviewed at the place where I work, and more than half the people I work with smoke weed as well.

Good luck though and keep us updated.
