When i hired on it was alot simpler, there wasnt a place to apply online. A guy went to the local state job service an added there name to the interview list, talked to his neighbor to put a good work in for him. Went down to the depot and talked to the manager about your chances of getting on. If they didnt take you after that you pretty much knew they didnt want anything to do with you.
These days they leave you guys hanging after you apply online, hire before the deadline ends, you see the managers face for the first time during the interview. I helped my buddy get on, talked to the manager before hand, made him write his name down, told him to apply online right now, go down and talk to the guy who was gonna possibly take him. His part and my part took almost all the stress out trying to get on.
