Nobody call me at 11:40am today, okay?

so a job as a small ova-ture. interesting. I was planning to phone you but don't have your number. perhaps I'll phone edgar to see if he has your number.

You're retired, Reyn, why would they call you "junior" and what the (h)egg
is an egg inspector? Will you be strictly working with hens, Mr. Rooster?

So that's what you kids are calling it these days ....

Just be sure it isn't for a Chicken Catcher!

I know nothing...

I guess there's a hierarchy in these things.

Do the chickens speak English?

They better, because I can't speak chicken!

So, what you guys think? Seems okay. I would presume that it's 10 hours per shift.

Junior Egg Inspector

Well, better get my skates on. It's 8:31am at the moment here.

Good luck!!!

Eggcellent! I wish you lots of yolk. (sorry, couldn't resist)

Thanks guys.

Do I need a suit and tie for a telephone interview?

Nah. They just want to see if you really speak English.

BTW - I hope you aren't on dial-up. You will miss your call.

Edgar knows all. He is a seer.

I'm on high speed cable (Shaw).

So, I shouldn't answer the call with 'pawk, pawk, pawk'?

Probably would get put in the 'No" pile then, huh?

I knew this job sounded familiar. I had applied for a similar position back in December 2006 and reported it HERE.



Nothing happened at that time. So, we'll see if anything is different this time around.

Does anyone know if knowledge and experience with Microsoft Works spreadsheet would be okay if they're mentioning the Excel program?

Well, they are similar in that they are both spreadsheet programs.

Okay, so if I said that I've had experience with the former, I wouldn't look like a complete dolt for learning the Excel one?

Just say you have experience with Microsoft spreadsheets. That is not a lie.
