My process took well over a month with the 3 interviews, than 48 hours later got my offer with a successful background check, it took 2 days to get the email to start the background check, it was completed within 3 days and status changed to Meets Company Standards, than a day later in late afternoon my recruiter called me with final offer..I start beginning of September...its hard to have patience especially when you want a job so bad but it'll pay off...good luck to every one...for the people who haven't heard after the 3rd interview if you haven't received a email after 24 hours that's a good sign so just keep your head up.

Well I do plan on getting a no solicitation sign, so that will help in itself. I have a pretty good plan on how I'm going to keep them quiet majority of the time, but it's more when they hear my neighbors talking outside or other dogs bark.

Honestly, this is only a temporary living situation until we buy, which will give me many more options lol but it's frustrating.:(
I have a dog who barks at neighbors too. He's very well behaved but that's the only thing I struggled teaching him not to do. A few weeks ago, I got a bark collar for him. It doesn't shock him, just puffs citronella when he barks. It has made a drastic improvement and now when the collar is on, he knows he isn't supposed to bark. I plan to put it on him while I'm working. You might want to consider that.

Thanks for that! When I only had 1 dog, I tried the bark collar, but it shocked him. It said it was safe for small dogs as long as they were a certain weight (which he was over) but the scream he made when it went off was enough for me to take it off and return it. Now that I have 3, once one starts it turns into an allhellbreaksloose kind of situation.

Hey all- I'm trying to find the Kelly posting for AHA's, and not able to find anything on their site for it. Is there a different term they use specifically for an AHA? Thanks!

I had the same experience with the static shock one. I put it on myself before putting it on him and it was barely a shock at all, but he acted like he'd been stabbed or something. Hid for hours after that, so I took it back and got the citronella kind. If you get one, make sure it is activated by sound AND the vibration in their necks. That way they won't get puffed when another one barks, and get confused about how it works.

Does anyone know if you have to sign for the paperwork they send via FedEx? I got an email Friday saying it would be delivered on or before Monday, and two other people I know who got the same email had theirs delivered yesterday. I was working, and there was nothing left at my door. So I'm worried I may have missed when it was delivered.

This won't be a issue, I had a discrepancy on mine for hire dates and didn't make a difference

I believe you do have to sign. Either way, FedEx always leaves a note on your door if they missed you. I have an account with FedEx so they always let me know when something is being delivered so I had my tracking number. You can try to go to their website and see if you can track your package using one of their tracking methods.

Guys I just did my orientation and all I have to say is this place is great. They actually care about you working there and want you to do good. If you are good with customer service then this job will be great for you. Hope to see some of you in training next week!
