    I don't work there, so I obviously I can't tell you this is definitive. That is exactly what I just heard on the phone, however...I'm a straight shooter. Of course, we know there are always exceptions...

    hakunamatata replied to hakunamatata's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks! I actually have looked into a few places, and most still seem pretty competitive for newbies, believe it or not (at least in Cheyenne). I've heard it's awesome - I'm just scared of the...
