Fellas, please do a little positive thinkin for my son Garret. He's been working like a dog at a not so great paying job for a year now, tops in his group for hours worked, all the while submitting his resume to various Refineries to obtain an Operators job which is what he went to school for. He has tested several times but the #'s are astronomical as far as those applying versus how many they hire.
He got a call to test for DOW Chemical a few weeks ago. Couple weeks later they emailed him to be available for a telephone interview. 8 days later they emailed him that he had been turned over to the hiring team @ DOW for an interview with them.
the numbers ---
Over 800 applicants tested.
60 were chosen for the phone interview.
30 were chosen to interview with DOW.
there are 10 positions available.
Garret & Bailey are expecting a baby girl in 14 days. He's making the note on his PU, her car, and her student loans. The boy sure does need this job and could use some good ole country luck.
Thanks for listening and if you could keep yer fingers crossed with me I'd appreciate it.

Would work better than keeping you fingers crossed. I'll be sure to include him in one of these 
They have a much longer hiring process as those positions are to start in mid September. He tested with them around the same time he tested for DOW. He told his Supervisor at his current job that he had these interviews coming up and that guy asked "what would it take to keep you here"? Said he offered him a $10 an HOUR raise to start with as a coordinator and straight days M-F. 
I have been offered my share over the years. Tell Garret to take into consideration that it seem his present employer doesn't offer raises on mreit. Seems they only offer a raise out of fear. Not good in my book. 
Sure hope things work out for the best.
