TWO different staff members asked me to come in and fill out an application on Tuesday. I did so. It was LONG, about 14 pages, with questions I&#8217;ve never seen but which were very crucial to the job. They set me up for an interview on Thursday (today). I went. I had my interview. They ran frantically around the office trying to find a manager to do my SECOND interview on the spot. After that, they took me down the hall for the drug test. All passed with flying colors. They offered me $9 per hour to start, about $1 more per hour than usual. I have to wait for them to complete the background check though, which they said would take a week to a week-and-a-half. &nbsp;After which, I start (PAID) training. There&#8217;s a 90 day probation period. If they continue to put me in places where I can excel, and they seem to have a lot of those, I should have this job for quite a while&#8230; again, if I pass the background check, and I can&#8217;t think of a reason why I shouldn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>The position is direct care of handicapped people. They will likely keep me with the high-functioning ones, as I can help those better than almost anyone.<\/p>\n<p>The irony is that the company is based in Asheville.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hugs,<\/p>\n<p>Me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I emailed a resume to a company Monday.
