Re: Finding New Help
Oh yea, I get alot of wierdos from craigslist. If I put my phone-number, it won't stop ringing for days. My father-in-law told me he once went for a job interview to do finishing on a high-rise, and they put him to finish a couple of sheets, for 5 min. to see if he really was a taper. That could be a good idea. Anyone can make up references now a days, and a real taper will tape and finish right there.

Re: Finding New Help
Rabb,
I don't get it, why don't you be a super. You definitely qualify for the construction experience, and would make a great living. Your body can only take so much. |
