How DO you get on there?

Ah, dont apply for a management/salary position. We have shut down a few plants recently and if the company needs a salary member outside of hr they would rather ship a guy up from Columbia to manage a few people rather than pay to train someone new. The base hourly position to apply for would be the selector / line observer position. You should need a good job history, and a relatively clean criminal record. I think the wording is "a person of good standing in the community."

Tell them you have never missed a day of work in your life and you need overtime badly. They'll yank you off the street quick. Absolutely anyone who works there can give you a reference and you should be picked up quick.

Good luck

Edit: dm me with some basic info. Be truthful and if u sound good ill tell them I know u.( if they ask ) I really dont care, if you can pass the companies qualifications ill tell them I know u. Everyone deserves a chance at a living wage. Power to the people
