Started with assessment, then discussed hours. Prior to the interview, company page advertised job flexibility, but declined me (college student) saying that they were looking for "full-time" employees. The manager acted unprofessional and made unnecessary grimaces when I talked about my scheduling.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NORCAL Ambulance (Dublin, CA) in Aug 2013
