Post by: cafeboy on April 13, 2009, 07:26:14 PM
Well after being out of work for a while now. I finally got a job interview for Wednesday at 12:00 as a driver for a local beer and wine wholeseller  :woohoo: :cheers: :woohoo:

So wish me luck, I really need a job and I think this would be awesome.

CDL or non-CDL?

If CDL, make sure the trucks have air ride seats at a minimum!  Air ride cab and suspension would be even better.

Single axle beer trucks ride like buckboards.  I took my CDL tests in one and put the examiner though the roof twice.  City driving is fun though.   :D

Have fun!

Post by: utgunslinger13 on April 15, 2009, 11:52:47 AM
Man that blows!  With my experience working in staffing, sometimes the managers in HR don't want to be bothered with interviews so as soon as they talk with someone that at least meets the requirements they hire them to save themselves the trouble of anymore interviews.  Its completely bogus, and 65% of the time that job will be open again in 6 months.  Mark my words!

But keep your head up, at least your not in the boat I am in.  I'm a recent college graduate and I'm in the dilema where no one wants to hire someone without relevent experience, yet how am I to get relevant experience without someone giving me the chance to prove myself and hiring me without relevent experience? lol

It all just sucks man.  Keep on chugging.

SOME companies in SOME fields will count your college as relavant experience in the field. mind you i said SOME. and right now, they can afford to be really picky. they've got thousands of unemployed people to choose from.
