I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kelly Services (Lakeland, FL)
Interview
It was reasonably easy, All I had to do was talk on the phone with the woman. We did not even speak for the entire 30 minutes. I don't recall completing everything because we had a great conversation, After that I just had to get my fingerprints done and drug tested and I was working within about 2 weeks honestly.
