Thanks for the reply. My employers would give me positive reviews. If one or two didn't oh well, so many would. I was an assistant manager during my very first job for 2 out of the 3 years I was there and then for the other restaurant I applied to. For my first job, I am friendly with the managers that I worked for and I play sports with them. No one works there that I know of so I just put them down and I guess HR gives the info. The second job, the guy said he would give a positive reference but even if he didn't I did such good work someone would have to vouch for me. I have been putting HR down for that job now just in case and telling them to contact associates that work at the restaurant just in case. I never caused a problem though.
I saved every penny so I could pursue my career. I have no loans except from the police academy but I do not have to pay that yet. I am living like a poor man
, trying to get a law enforcement job in PA or anywhere in the country. I have an interview for KMART. It may be part time but that is ok because I still want to take tests and I do have tests and interviews coming up so I need to stay somewhat free, but need a job too so hopefully they will pick me up.
Anyway, that job I applied for was federal so I know they can definitely be picky.
