haha, THIS IS A BIG IF!! I have to put the whole car back together and build the drivetrain. BACK in the ol days I could have with no problem.These days I cant seem to get much done. It would be a great deal IF I could accomplish the goal.
Then I would have to convince my boss to let me borrow the enclosed trailer to haul it in . The ol 30mph gal may not like 75mph interstate travel. The top afterall is cloth and the rest is as aerodynamic as a brick.

Nope, I just got done and it was straight-work simulation. There were three stations that each simulate a production process.

One is where you both install bolts in specific places in four grids located in the front of a van chassis. In that one, you also plug the ends of wiring harnesses into the sockets within the chassis.

Another is a spot welding simulation. In this one, you have like a hanging "welder" that you have to rotate to fit into different spots and do different combinations of "welds".

Also, there's a station where you take weights off of a rack and put them on specific pegs on a wall. You sometimes also move them from one spot on the wall to another, or remove them from the wall and put them back on the rack.

Each station was two hours. It was pretty boring, but no more boring than my job now, lol.

Interview's scheduled for Tuesday. If I didn't qualify with the assessment, they'll call me Monday, which is when they'll have access to the results, and tell me not to come to the interview, which tells me that they anticipate the success rate to be pretty high. Otherwise, they would call people Monday to schedule the interviews. I'll let you guys know how this turns out.

I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch, because Lord knows that I've been burned before, but I'm going to try as hard as I can to make this work.

Alright, so the interview went well, I thought. Afterward, they sent me directly to the place to take the drug screen, which consisted of a urine analysis and hair analysis. They also scheduled me for a physical next Tuesday, which is expected to take about four hours. After that, I won't hear anything back for like four weeks while they process the drug screen, background check, and the physical. I shouldn't have any problems with any of that, though.

So, if everything goes well, which is something that I am NOT taking for granted at this point, I'll get a job offer in about five weeks.

But yeah, they took like half of the hair out of my right armpit, now it feels sort of weird and prickly in there, lol.

It was all about timing for me. I'm on the right track, but they are not accepting applications anymore at this point. Are you willing to move?
