K-mart
So I'm working at a K-amrt auto shop and my friend D says to me one day. Want to take the test for Correction officer? I asked what they did for work. And he says they work in Prisons. I asked how much money do they make. He says pretty much more than we make now. So I went home and checked for the ad in the local paper and found the information for the job and sent for the paper work. Filled it all out sent it in and waited. One day I got the time and place the test would be given. I went to work and asked "D" did you get your info back and he said yes. I can't remember the time frames exactly but we planned on meeting out in front of the local school to go and take the test together. I remember we were both a little nervous due to both of us calling in sick on a Saturday. I waited and waited for him to show and he never did. So I went in and took it by myself. The next time we worked together I got him on the side and asked him where he was and told him I had waited for a long time and he said he had did the same. Something was definitely fishy about it!! Come to find out he had taken the County Corrections test while I had taken the Sate test. So the gist of the story is I got hired and "D" had to wait until the next State test. Which he did pass and took the job. I actually had to take a slight cut in pay due to I had been promoted to Manager of the shop. But knew that within one year I'd make more money. And the benefits were quite good. Haven't heard from him since.. But "D" is the man responsible for my obtaining the job.
