that is essentially how I got hired back in 2010. I don't know how it worked then and I know it wouldn't work now 😓

I had a similar experience back in 2014 at an art & education supply store. Right place, right time. Manager was there when I handed in app. They needed to hire two people asap and had poor applicants. I did better on their assessment test than most. Pretty much was like “When can you start?”

Oh yeah I did something similar but it was to clean out cattle trailers. I think it was like three days between applying and starting back then...

Literally the only way I’ve been able to move up in the world lately is by “knowing a guy” which is the worst.
