Swa Pool

[Hooch]

Encouragement

Hey folks,

As a 2002-2003 Pool Rat Survivor I can still recall the emotional roller coaster of "...when will ever get to class" & "Did I dream that phone call to continue the process?"

All I can tell you is...
#1. Yes its worth the wait
#2. Don't pork it up by doing something stupid. I personally know of two cases where newhires had a beacon shining on their head before day #1.

Another guy put it to me like this...strive to be the person SWA hired in the interview. After four years, I am still workin' on that one

It'll all come sooner than you think!

Cheers,
Hooch

Great post Hooch!!

I thought the same thing....about the class dates....but I am just relaying what Gina G in the PD e-mailed me. 9 class dates with an average of 3 every 2 months would only be 6 months away...looking like Feb of next year....who knows....

I will not even think of it till after the holidays...then it will be right around the corner....

A quick quote from the Management.

“If you promise a client you will do something tomorrow and you don’t do it for three days, you have a very unhappy client. If you tell somebody you will get it done in a week and delivery in three days you are a hero” Colleen Barrett

As you can see the if the PD tell you 9 classes and second quarter you would be very happy if it happens in 7 or 8 class or in the first quarter.

Under-promise, over-perform!
