Here's the wording in the "help wanted" ad I spotted:
ASSEMBLERS NEEDED
We are a hand assembly facility for a major greeting card company. (I happen to know it's Hallmark.)
C********* Specialty Products Co. is seeking work oriented applicants for full time employment. working hours offered are a 4/10's shift M-T 6:00 AM-4:30 PM. Competitive wage, benefit package, attractive bi-monthly incentive, paid vacation and holiday, good working conditions, climate controlled environment, and music provided. Apply M-T between 8 AM and 4 PM.
I read this to Cliff and said, "If I weren't baby-sitting the girls, I think I'd check this out."
"WHAT????" Cliff exclaimed. "You'd let that little bit of babysitting stop you from taking a job?"
I reminded him that it's unlikely it would work out. I don't drive, so there'd have to be at least two people from my town working there who are willing to take a paying rider (this place is only 8 miles away). My knees and feet are a mess, so it would have to be a sit-down job.
When I baby-sat Kody years ago, his mom worked at this place. I never discussed her job with her, so I don't have a clue about the working conditions.
But I guess I'll go talk to them tomorrow. It doesn't hurt to talk.
Go for it! Tell Rachel I'll babysit the girls long-distance :) Blessings, Penny http://journals.aol.com/firestormkids04/FromHeretoThere
ReplyDeleteHow weird the hours are.. 6:00 AM to 4:40? PM? I've never seen an employer have people stop working at such an off time. That's actually 10 hrs and 40 minutes. I guess that must be your lunch time, right?
ReplyDeleteWell, good luck, Donna! :)

ReplyDeleteI thought you retired??? Back to work so sooooon ??? I would love not to have to work. But have no choice. 4 days would be better than 5, but make sure you'd like it. 'On Ya' - ma
