    Hi everyone,
    my name is Jonathan and I have been working on getting my WIA grant to pay for my truck driving school. I have hit a road block with these interview questions they gave me. I figured this would be a great place to ask them. If any of you truckers on here could help it would be highly appreciated. I need to interview three employees in this industry. As soon as I finish these I can turn it in and hopefully get approved for funding to start school. If you don't want to answer on here you can email me at jd_lacey10@yahoo.com The following are the questions.

    Business you work for:

    Address:

    City:

    Your name:

    Phone:

    Job Title:

    What do you do in a typical day?

    What skills and personal characteristics do you need to do this job?

    What is the rate of pay for entry level workers?

    What are the chances of promotion?

    What are the normal work hours?

    What is the outlook for your work in this area?

    Is the industry growing?

    What education, work experience or certificate is required for this job?

    What are the most interesting aspects of your job?

    What do you find satisfying about your job?

    What would you like to change about your job?

    What steps would you recommend to a person wanting to get into a job like yours or what are the basic experiences needed for you job?

    Seems like a scam; no one in their right mind will answer these questions, especially online. Go back to the WIA people and ask to talk to a supervisor.

    well, i agree and yet disagree. doesnt sound like a scam exactly, sounds like it could very well be legitimate bureaucratic nonsense. but the info you are asking for gets rather personal, and youre asking for that info from people who dont know you, and cant even see your face. tell you what...if you have no luck with others, if you pm me your phone number and last name id consider being a contact, and doing it by phone. then youd be a little less a stranger.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    This isn't a scam, it IS bureaucratic nonsense. Potential students need this information but they should be able to get it by contacting a recruiter for trucking companies. Good luck Jonathan!

    Drive safe!
     
    Astoh Thanks this.
