10. If offered job do they give you time to think about it?

14. Choking Infant and back slaps?

    hope1234 replied to mg08's topic in Student Assist

    Since there is no measurement for "hard", I would imagine that u would use common sense. Hard enough to dislodge whatever they r choking on, without beatin the crap out of them.
