I learned about this job opening through a friend who told me the company was looking for someone with my background. I then had an interview with the company owner for the position.

  • The questions were pretty basic and I ended up doing most of the asking. The interviewer was really informative and seemed to think I had the experience they were looking for. They offered me the job and asked if I had a reliable car and if I could start right away.
