It was very informative, they just expect you to not have a life outside of work. They want someone who is available at any given time, instead of hiring for a specific schedule like most agencies do.

I applied online and got a call back pretty fast, like within the same week. They set me up for an interview the very next day, which was held right there in the hotel lobby. After the chat, they asked me to do a job shadow thing later that same day. It was about four hours long, and after that, they offered me the job. I started a few days after that.

It was a pretty simple process. They didn't ask a lot of questions and didn't require any drug tests or written assessments. Background checks weren't needed either. Honestly, a little checking might have been good, but considering the pay, I guess that's understandable.

  • Would you be flexible with your working hours?
