Additional information: If you are selected to move on past the 1st round interview, you will be contacted again to set up a 2nd round interview. Regardless of your score on the 2nd round interview, all applicants will also be required to take the work sample test. A combination of the 2nd round interview scores and the work sample test scores will determine if a conditional offer of employment is extended. The conditional offer of employment requires you to successfully complete the orientation process, a driver's qualification test, a paid ten week training status, and a drug test to retain employment.
