More Testing

Marcel went in on 9/28/10 to Salt Lake Fire for a bunch of testing and interviews. He started at 11:30 and didn't get done until sometime between 3 and 3:30! In preparation for this they sent him a packet with a bunch of paperwork that needed to be completed and brought with him. He had to get 3 referrals from friends, 3 referrals from previous employers, copies of his Drivers License, passport, birth certificate and high school diploma; Get a copy of his criminal history and driving records, fill out 2 different packets, one regarding family life and the other life history.

They also sized him for a uniform but told him that it wasn't a job offer, it would just make things move along faster if he is hired. He also went in today, 10/4/10, to see a psychiatrist (required by them) which he said was weird. The guy just asked him some questions from the form he filled out, did some strange number sequence testing, and other random things (which probably weren't random to the psychiatrist). He told Marcel that he did well on his other tests so that's a good sign! Now he just has to get a physical and then we play the waiting game again. Hopefully this will have a happy ending/new beginning! That's a whole lot of work for nothing if not! We'll see!
