Most of the shops I've interviewed in send you to the guy you're going
to be working for first, then HR.

The one place where I went to HR first, the interviewer's description
of the company management made me not bother with the rest.

After a group orientation for a company, which ran a rotating
shift - twelve hour days (two on three off, three one two off, etc)
for two weeks, then reverse for two weeks on nights, a bunch of us
left before it got went any further. I didn't want to have to carry a
calendar to know if I'll be free on Saturday. and then said "I've only
been here a half hour, and already I have a bad attitude about working
here." Twelve hour shifts and an hour's drive in good traffic, each
way? I might not have much of a life, but I do have one.


Try 16+ hour days, three on, two off, two on, one week and three off,
two on, two off the next. I had a year of that in the US Army, at an
AFRTS Radio & TV station The Saturday & Sunday rotation could hit 40
hours in just two days.
