If I get on, I would only be able to attend RRE that Saturday and Sunday. Maybe not even Saturday if they run production that day. It would be impossible to predict.

It would be great if you could make it, but that sounds like a pretty good job and should take top priority. I hope you can make RRE, but I also hope you get the job.

If I do get on and stick with it, I should have money to feed my Powerstroke Modification Syndrome. So, when I can attend events like that, it will be in a way better truck.

By the way, I just realized that I've hijacked this thread and turned it into my job hunt thread. My bad, guys.

I figure this thread was offtopic right out of the gate, anyway, so what harm can it do?

That's what I meant by interpersonal. If I remember right from talking with the guy that runs that workforce center they actually throw some things at you to see how you handle the interpersonal issues that arise in line work. Part of it is seeing if you can solve a problem with a co-worker without going all Bill-like and threatening the whole shop!! So put on your happy face and address anything head-on and in a pleasant manner. I could be wrong but I think this was a part of that assessment. good luck.
