I am in the running for a new job, no career! I am in process of being interviewed (think many phone calls) for a position with Progressive Ins. as a heavy truck appraiser. pay is great, company car (laptop, cell, expense account ect..) Bennies up the Yazoo.. Profit sharing, bonuses..... But. they make it very hard to "just get a job" and are very picky. I have a phone interview Friday with the "personality person" and if I pass her, I get to go to the "Tech. guy" And from there if I pass him, I either have them come out here to meet me or get flown out to them (I think Ohio from their area code) to do a heavy truck estimate at a salvage yard..
Only down side is I only do maybe 3-5% Heavy Equip. now.. So I hope my car experience pulls thru.. Major change here, Heck the gas savings alone if they provide gas under that company car & expense account can be $500 a month!!
So keep me in your prayers.. We need a break like this. :D
Lee,
I hope you will get this !!! I will pray for you till you get it !!! Please keep us informed of the progress.
Good luck buddy !!!
Here go a lot of prayers!!!!!
T
;)
Lee, what area code.... maybe you'll be close to us.
Prayers I can do!
Isn't it amazing the gifts that come our way when we most need them? Best of luck, Lee.[/FONT]
I will send prayers as well. Sounds wonderful!
Lee, this job possibility sounds wonderful and I will pray that God opens a good pathway for you no matter what job you have--I KNOW that you know that if this door does not open for you, He has an even better one coming your way.
Ahem, if they need any "character references" maybe it is just as well you dont mention US :D
gotta hang up now and go do some serious praying.
You're on our prayer list!
I have to laugh--I used to work for a major insurance company. Isn't it an oxymoron to say "personality person" when you're talking about someone who works for an insurance company? ;) :J
Good luck!!!
Fingers Crossed! Sounds like a great opportunity!
Got my fingers crossed for you as well!

Lee, my BIL got a job doing something similar. He now appraises boats (big, high-$$$ boats..... he's quite busy right now...LOL). Thing is, he had no experience with this specialized type of work. They hired him based on his abilities. Ya got a good chance and I'm rootin' for you!

Are there manuals to estimate repair times for heavy equipment like there are for cars and trucks?
Hey Lee, come on down here for a weekend, and we'll run you through the mill... I work for a heavy Truck Dealer, and deal with several more, both mechanical and body. I'm sure I could hook you up with some people that could provide real positive pointers!!
Lee, that is terrific news...and boy, let me tell you..after the month we're going through...good news of any kind is a boost! You should have no problem passing a personality person..you're well loved and respected here by many of us who don't even know you!
You and your family are in my prayers that this all turns out just the way you want!
:>
I figure Lee has no problem with the personality part since it was a WOMAN who did the telephone interview! :Z
Ha-Ha baby, only kidding - but I think you did ace it! :J

404 Cincy, I think.. Don't know how free I will be though.. Is that close?
Yep.. I think I did good. I am what they are looking for.. Currant job for the last 2.5 years, prior to that was 11. Shows good work ethic. My last job I worked my way from body man to painter to Manager.. Now for the tech guy..
I do work on heavy equip. now, I don't have crash books for them, but Mitchells does make them but our company does not buy them . I have to call parts in. So I pray that, along with prior repair experiance while in High school working for a truck stop repair center will help me win him over.. The hard part is yet to come!
this is great news, Lee. what is the next step? And how long will it be before you know something final!
Cinci? Oh boy would that be great! I go through there about 6 or 8 times a year so maybe I can stop and join a campout with you-all and Angelsmom. I gotta see those kids with my own eyes--especially your little doll.

Oh wait.. :yikes: Fly!!! Oh heck, I have never been on a plane before!! :eyecrazy:

SUCH a bummer! :% I was hoping for a long time he'd get a job where we, I mean HE could travel!!!;)
Area code 404 is in Georgia... how'd the interview over the phone go?
Lee I missed this the first time around. Good luck. I hope with the new job you can make it to the rally next year. :)
Any news? Been praying for you.
No news yet, but the phone interview was on Friday, and Monday was a holiday! So hopefully today!
Thanks so much for the prayers. It really means a lot!
~sigh~... nope, didn't get it. They want more "experiance" with trucks.. JFYI :(
