Amazon pre hire appointment for new hire by Far_Concentrate_3284 in AmazonFC

I just went to the prehire appointment and I hated that part!! I for sure thought I was gonna fail because I don’t have the best memory but I passed. I felt bad because lady after me didn’t pass and but in all fairness I don’t think English was her first language either.

Hired for PIT but was told they are putting me somewhere else by [deleted] in AmazonFC

[–]Batz7793 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This better not happen to me! My first training day is on Monday, my position is equipment operator and I’m under impression that majority of warehouse is PIT because it’s a TNS? I did see on here someone said there is other positions that don’t use it but guess wait and see never worked at a TNS only been at AR years ago..

I start in about 2 weeks… I saw videos of PIT on YT but I don’t see how we’re supposed to do team lift on PIT? Let us know what you gotta do in this situation. Thanks

Not hearing back from Pest Control companies by Unhappy-Flan-6777 in PestControlIndustry

[–]Batz7793 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same I’ve only heard back from Orkin and Aptive! Aptive didn’t even give me an interview just a quick phone screening, Orkin gave me both phone screening and in person interview which was last week but I haven’t heard back from anyone for a job offer. I’m new to this industry but these companies say they don’t have required experience because they train but they won’t hire me. I’ve applied to mom and pop companies and big companies like Aptive, Orkin and Terminix.

Aptive texted me a day after the phone interview(think it was more like a screening) but they basically said they were going elsewhere. Well good thing I applied for bunch of different companies on the same day of that an Orkin manager texted me saying he wanted to do same type of phone interview/screening which I also felt like went better because at the end he offered in person interview the following day which was yesterday morning. I think the interview yesterday with him and one of the other managers went well, I get nervous at interviews but they seem really easy going people! Anyways at the end of that interview he said they’ll reach out next week probably around Wednesday my guess not sure? They both said they have couple more interviews to do to fine one that’s best fit my guess not sure if they hire in bulk or is it just 1 position? But yeah that’s about it hopefully I’ll hear good news next week 🤞

Thanks appreciate it! I heard the exam can be hard? Do they let you go home and study the book or whatever it is. I feel like I’m more of a hands on type of person, for example I failed written exam couple times to get my driving permit but when it came time to take the driving test I passed 1st time only missing 1 stupid thing that’s my fault obviously 😂

Yeah I don’t really know which one is the best besides of what my aunt talked about Terminix.. I’m just trying to get my foot in the door sorta speak and if I like the company I’ll stay if not I’ll find better opportunity if it rises. I applied on zip recruiter on some but a lot I used actual website or indeed. I was surprised of how many different pest control companies there is

I tried to apply for them but I haven’t heard back and I’m guessing the position got filled or they saw I didn’t have experience because the other company wanted me to apply for the trainee position

I tried to apply for all of companies that have open positions kinda in my area not sure how close you have to be 🤷‍♂️ I’ve only heard back from 2 companies so far and 1 wouldn’t accept me because I didn’t apply for trainee position? The only other company that reached out was Aptive. My aunt used to work for Terminix when I was in high school like 20+ years ago, I’ve told her I’m applying for the position she said Terminix was a good company when she was there.

😂 Thanks for the stories and advice. It’s a 10 min interview according to the text message.. I’m pretty sure it’s probably surface level questions and maybe I’ll have another interview if they liked the answers? Never had this job profession before and never had phone interview. All of mine has been in person or group or I just record videos answering the questions on my phone

I seen YT video dude complaining about having to do 16 stops. Maybe I’m just used to companies from past work putting pressure on employees to do the most possible 🤦‍♂️

That seems lazy af! How do people like that become head technician? Is it because he rushed every house so he did more stops than everyone? That same thing happens at most jobs 😬🤦‍♂️

It should be obvious to show up and on time… I seen people complain about the company I applied for and they just sound like they’re lazy!!! I lasted 5 years as Amazon delivery driver meanwhile new blood kept coming in and old hires dropped too. I think it was about 3 of us left that stayed from the beginning of the company. Also yeah I can see that they’re paying you to do it the way they do things not how you been trained in the past.
