"Vote early and vote often." Back in the 1920s and '30s, when neither election technology nor oversight were as effective as they are today, and the likes of Al Capone were at work gaming the system, this phrase wasn't a joke. It was a best practice.
If you want guaranteed results, what better way than to get people to the polls early, and then repeatedly, to vote for your candidate?
None of this sitting around until the end of the day, hoping that the election goes the way you want. Capone would tell you, "That's for saps."
What does this have to do with cloud computing? All too often we see IT teams taking a "buy it and hope it works" strategy when it comes to adopting cloud-based apps. They migrate their entire user base to the cloud on faith, assuming that they can worry about performance and availability issues later, if ever. After all, everybody in the company accesses the Internet today without issues so your cloud apps should work just fine, right?
Well...maybe...unless of course they don't.
In fact, if you think about it, your users frequently experience "outages" ranging from individual websites to the Internet as a whole. As an admin, though, you haven't dealt with most of them because, frankly, it isn't your job to ensure Bob in Marketing can access YouTube. Now, however, you do own availability for your enterprise cloud apps. Wouldn't you rather find out if those will have problems before you've gone past the point of no return and have everybody, including your five bosses, screaming at you because they can't access their email, docs, or the CRM system?
Contrary to what you may have thought, performance and availability monitoring isn't something you roll-out at the tail end of your migration to the cloud, but something you get in place before you start migrating users, so you can work out all the kinks in the service delivery chain between your points of access and the cloud apps before you have users depending on them. This is something you probably already do when you roll-out a new on-premise application, and it's even more valuable with cloud apps.
Here's an example. One of our customers is a large electronics manufacturer with over 30 worldwide locations. As they recently looked to migrate to SharePoint Online they were conscious that user experience might vary considerably across their locations due to differences in local infrastructure, ISP networks, and the Microsoft Office 365 datacenters serving each location.
The IT team determined that the best way to ensure success at full deployment was to begin performance monitoring at the same time they began their SharePoint Online pilot, before any actual production users were on the service. During this time they were able to methodically test from each location, controlling network configurations and load to establish baseline performance expectations for each location and across locations for their full global deployment. They were also able to diagnose and troubleshoot configuration problems, not just with the SharePoint Online service but with their supporting network infrastructure, including DNS and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS).
Finally, they were able to confirm their organizational readiness to move forward with a production roll-out. They had demonstrated and measured expected availability and performance during the pilot, and reports generated by their application allowed them to communicate these results effectively to their business and IT decision makers responsible for the SharePoint Online deployment.
Armed with these baseline availability and performance expectations, the IT team is now able to effectively monitor and detect anomalies to SharePoint Online service delivery as they proceed with their production roll-out. They know what performance they should be seeing at each location and are alarmed when/if performance deviates from those established thresholds.
They aren't simply hoping users are happy with their SharePoint Online experience. By leveraging performance monitoring from the very beginning the IT team has gone a long way to guaranteeing they are.
Want to ensure your cloud app deployment is a success?
If Capone were alive...and if he were a CIO, he'd probably tell you this,
"Monitor early. Monitor often. It's a best practice."

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Bacteria is our friend.Submitted by elviejo on Wed, 03/23/2011 - 11:08
Is dirt really such a Bad Thing?
..."Every reader of this column is less human than they were on the day they were born. They emerged sterile into the world but, within minutes, were invaded by billions of bacteria. Those creatures still pass through in vast numbers. Each adult has ten times as many in their guts as they have cells of their own. Billions more live in the nooks and crannies of the skin, the mouth and elsewhere. We bear a kilogram's worth of internal aliens. Every assembly is as unique as a fingerprint (and has been used by the police to see whose hands have been on a computer keyboard).
There are rules about who lives where. The forehead supports a community distinct from the arm, and the leg from the foot. Mouth and stomach are distinct and each has fewer types of bacterium than do other sites (for some reason, the back of the knee is particularly diverse).
Such creatures are a forgotten organ, as essential as the liver. In the large intestine, they break down indigestible plant tissues for their own use – and make soluble chemicals soaked up by our guts. They also destroy harmful bacteria. Their chemical signals help the gut to develop and prime the immune system. Germ-free mice do not thrive: their immune system is feeble, their bowels do not move as they should, and they are generally unhealthy. Such animals are also anxious and obsessive. Our internal bacteria make plenty of the nerve transmitters associated with mood, and inner filthiness may even play a part in keeping us cheerful. "

Genre: Avant-Garde
I made a start
Looked back just once.
Rebels of the frontier,
I can make it make sense.
Defenders of the real,
All I can see are dolphins.
I feel close to them
And no one else.
Road to nowhere,
Point of no return,
Stream of consciousness
He was just one.
Like a prime number,
He was devoid of plus.
He looked up waited, so frustrated.
I am vanishing into the trees
Defenders get onto your knees
Defenders get onto your knees

Golden Key Celebrates 100,000th Member From Canada
Golden Key International Honour Society is thrilled to welcome our 100,000th member from Canada, Karla Gorospe from the University of Windsor!
Founded in 1977, Golden Key has more than two million members worldwide. In 1997, Golden Key established its first chapter in Canada and has been welcoming high-achieving students into the Society across Canada since then.
Karla is pursuing a bachelor's degree in Applied Science Honours, Civil Engineering Co-op at the University of Windsor. She is currently in her second year at the university and plans to graduate in fall of 2017. Gorospe will be honored at the chapter's annual New Member Recognition Event on 21 November 2014. Many of the new Golden Key members, their family and friends, chapter officers and university faculty will be present at the event. Golden Key's Director of Canada, Ian Sankey, will also attend the event and will present Gorospe with a special certificate. Her mother and father will be at the event to see her get recognized.
Gorospe has ambitious career goals. She plans to become a professional engineer and also wants to eventually manage her own consulting firm. She will pursue a master's degree in engineering to help her reach her goals.
Gorospe let us know that she is excited to become involved with the chapter on campus and apply for scholarships. One of the reasons she joined Golden Key is because her older sister is a member. When her sister attended the GK International Summit in 2012, she was "amazed at the different service opportunities and educational recognition" that was provided. She is interested in the community involvement opportunities, leadership positions and networking that Golden Key provides.
In addition to being a Golden Key member, Gorospe is involved in her community and on campus. Since 2008, she has been volunteering at her church as a Sunday School assistant. At the university, she is part of the Connecting4Success program where she mentors an incoming first-generation university student and provides them with advice and guidance. She is a member of the Outstanding Scholars Program in the university. Her team won first place in the junior design category at the Windsor Engineering Competition in 2013. And, she is on the President's List.
"Now that I was named as the 100,000th member, it is even more rewarding to know that many Canadian students are achieving academic excellence and taking leadership roles and meaningful involvement in the community. I have no doubt that more future leaders of this great nation will emanate from the GK membership," she said.
Golden Key is proud to recognize Karla Gorospe for helping the Society reach this milestone.
2014 Key Chapter Winner Highlight: Stony Brook University
The final chapter that we would like to highlight in our 2013-2014 North American Key Chapter blog series is Stony Brook University.
During the 2013-2014 academic year, the Stony Brook University chapter hosted numerous events dedicated to service. On April 25th, the chapter participated in Earthstock, an event to celebrate Earth Day and promote awareness of Stony brook University's commitment to a green future. The members hosted a tabling session and promoted alternatively fueled methods of transportation, reducing their carbon footprint and recycling goods whenever possible. The next day, the Golden Key chapter participated in Relay for Life on the university's recreation fields with the intention of raising money and awareness for the American Cancer Society. Chapter members put together a team and collectively raised money for months leading up to the event. The chapter also participated in the "English Pal Program" at Stony Brook University, which is a collaborative effort between the Golden Key chapter and the International Student Organization to pair English speaking students with foreign students to help assimilate them into the community. The "pals" would meet weekly to practice speaking English, attend different events and ultimately build lasting relationships. This program continues to be an incredible success with up to 500 participants per semester!
One of the largest events that the Stony Brook University chapter hosts is their Prospective Member Event that was held during the spring semester. After receiving the list of eligible members, the chapter president sent out emails to each individual on the list to congratulate them on their academic success and to invite them to the event. The event started with a a dessert reception. Then prospective members were educated on what Golden Key is, the membership process and the benefits of becoming a member. The chapter also discussed the numerous events that they host on campus and the leadership opportunities available by being a part of the chapter. The chapter found this event to be incredibly successful with prospective members having a broader understanding of Golden Key.
Congratulations to the Stony Brook University chapter and all of the other Key Chapter winners for the 2013-2014 academic year!
2014 Key Chapter Winner Highlight: Wright State University
The next chapter that we would like to highlight in our 2013-2014 Key Chapter Award blog series is Wright State University.
During the fall & spring commencement ceremonies, the Wright State University chapter hosted a Flower Sale fundraising event in which friends and family could purchase flowers for those who are graduating. The Golden Key chapter was able to raise more than $1,300 in December and $3,000 in May to go towards community service events, scholarships and summits! The chapter also hosted their annual Penny Drive on campus. To make this event possible, chapter members set up boxes in 100 offices around campus to collect pennies, and the office that collected the most money would receive a pizza party. To encourage further participation in the offices, the campus offices were allowed to decorate the boxes for an opportunity to win another prize from the chapter. The Penny Drive raised more than $500 to be donated to the Ronald McDonald House of Dayton to support terminally ill children and their families.
For Global Youth Service Day in the spring, the Wright State Golden Key chapter hosted their first ever "Youth Athlete's Experience". This event was designed to bring together children ages two to seven years old with mental disabilities to participate in physical activities that would provide them with the initial skills that they would need to later participate in the Special Olympics. On Sunday April 13, the chapter hosted more than twenty children with Down Syndrome, Schizencephaly, Autism and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome at the university's gymnasium, where the chapter set up seven different stations. The seven stations consisted of: an obstacle course, run and carry, "Coach says", catching, kicking, cornhole and dribbling. Each child had their own volunteer, or "buddy", who would help the child participate in the events and move from station to station. This event proved to be a unique opportunity considering that there are no similar events to this in the greater Dayton area where children under eight years old can development these skills. The parents had a warm reception to the event as it provided a fun learning environment for the children, and the participants in the event had an incredible time, as well!
Congratulations to the Wright State University chapter for being named a Key Chapter for the 2013-2014 academic year.
Amazing Member Highlight: Eugenie de Silva
At fifteen years old, Eugenie de Silva has already accomplished more than many will in their lifetime. At seven years old, she won the award for the John Hopkins University state test for verbal and mathematic talent in the state of Virginia. She began high school at nine and then graduated at eleven with a college preparatory high school diploma from the University of Missouri High School. At eleven, she began her undergraduate degree at American Military University (AMU). And in 2013, at the age of fourteen, Eugenie graduated from the AMU with a Bachelor's degree in Intelligence Analysis with a 4.0 GPA. During her undergraduate studies she started master's level courses and also became a member of Golden Key during this time. In May of 2014, she graduated from AMU with a Master's in Intelligence Studies with a concentration in Intelligence Studies with a 4.0 GPA – Summa Cum Laude. At fifteen, she is now finishing her thesis for her second Master's at Harvard University in Legal Studies and has begun a Ph.D. program in Politics at the University of Leicester in England.
Eugenie is truly an amazing individual and we're proud to call her a Golden Key member. We had the opportunity to ask Eugenie some questions about her life and accomplishments.
As someone who is already pursuing a PhD program at your young age, why is education so important to you?
Education is the key to future. Actually, having a degree is useless if one cannot effectively apply the learned knowledge to positively impact one's community and even the world. The field of intelligence is that which is largely covert, yet it acts as the backbone of the protection of the national security of the country. Therefore, being educated helps me to develop a broad knowledge that I can apply to help the U.S. in the intelligence discipline.
What drives you to accomplish so much?
I have a passion for intelligence and law enforcement. I do everything with the goal of becoming the U.S. Secretary of Defense and working for the nation to help hard-working citizens and protect individuals from threats that are posed by state and non-state actors.
What are your goals for the future?
My goal is to be the U.S. Secretary of Defense, and then work for the United Nations. I also hope to open my own law firm to help individuals at this level. I also will be initiating novel educational programs for those who may not have completed high school or are seeking ways in which to further their education and knowledge.
I heard that you wrote a book, "Don't Like School? Don't Go." Can you tell us more about it?
This book is planned to be published before the end of this year. The book will discuss my own experiences, the good and the bad, and will provide readers with specific ways in which to improve their own lives to be successful. The book is primarily written for teenagers and young adults, but the advice can be applied to any individual regardless of age. I hope to inspire the youth of today, since they will certainly be the leaders of tomorrow.
How do your goals and values align with Golden Key's mission?
My goals and values certainly align with the Golden Key's mission, since I have always been focused on my academics and I am tirelessly working to provide service to the U.S. My goal is to work as a public leader in the U.S. who will consistently take into consideration the actual needs of citizens and make their interests a priority in all that I do. My goal is also to promote education and academic excellence amongst individuals of all backgrounds. Anything is possible and I strive to make that my main point when I speak with individuals on a daily basis in academic and social contexts.
Why did you choose to join Golden Key?
It is always wonderful to be a part of an international honor society that promotes and upholds high standards in an academic forum. Being a member of the Golden Key is also a great way to meet others who are focused on their education and strive to do well in all their endeavors.
Is there anything you would like fellow Golden Key members to know about you? Anything else you would like to add?
I would like to add that while many have expressed their comments that I have not had a normal childhood, I can ease their minds by saying that they do not need to worry since I definitely have had a regular social upbringing. Furthermore, I want to make known that I truly have a desire to help the U.S. and will continue to work to play a role in the protection of this nation.
Our congratulations go out to Eugenie for all of her amazing accomplishments that inspire us so much!
2014 Key Chapter Winner Highlight: University of Wisconsin-La Crosse
We would like to congratulate the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse chapter for being named a 2013-2014 Key Chapter winner.
During the 2013-2014 academic year, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse chapter participated in numerous community service functions. One event was called "The Book Drive That Never Ends." From March 1 to April 1, Golden Key members collected as many books as possible for Better World Books and Books for Africa. Given that the La Crosse campus is a textbook rental campus, the main source for books comes from faculty members. Although only 7 boxes of books were eligible for Better World Books, the chapter had another 20 boxes to be donated to Books for Africa! In March, the chapter worked with two local elementary schools to assist with their fundraisers. One of the honorary members, Sue Kelly, made all of the arrangements for the members, and the schools were grateful for the chapter's help. The chapter also worked in conjunction with the Salvation Army during the holiday season. In December members teamed up with the Angel Tree program, which provides Christmas assistance for disadvantaged children and seniors. The chapter assisted in the wrapping and distribution of gifts to children in the area.
One of the University of Wisconsin- La Crosse chapter's most impactful events was the Miracle League Softball Game held in early May. Miracle League is a national organization designed to give individuals with special needs an opportunity to participate in organized sports. Originated in Conyers, GA in 1998, the organization has grown into a league comprised of 225 fields in 44 states. This game served as an excellent opportunity for the chapter members to work one-on-one with the players, assist them throughout the game and build a relationship with them. The chapter plans to participate in this event in the future and have already been invited back to upcoming games.
Once again congratulations to the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse chapter for being named a 2013-2014 Key Chapter winner!
In continuance with our 2013-2014 Key Chapter winner blog series, we would like to highlight the University of the Virgin Islands- St. Thomas chapter.
For Make A Difference Day in 2013, the University of the Virgin Islands- St. Thomas chapter volunteered at the Wesleyan Holiness Church Soup Kitchen, which hosts a soup kitchen once a month to provide food to those in need. Representatives from the church cook and donate the food, and they package it up for walk-ins and delivery all over the island. Eight chapter members, one officer and one advisor served as volunteers during the event by helping to pack and serve the food, as well as clean up the facility after the event. In February the chapter conducted a Professional Development Workshop with an emphasis on Business & Dinner Etiquette. The purpose of the workshop was to engage and provide members with various strategies and techniques that would enhance the members' networking and formal dining skills, which included learning how to set the table, the proper use of each utensil, appropriate hand shaking techniques and how to dress for the occasion. The chapter also participated in the 3rd annual Scholars Social Event in February. This event brings together two local high school honor societies to connect and familiarize themselves with the Golden Key chapter, as well as learn more about upcoming events that the chapter is hosting. More than 75 people participated in the event and 56 of which were high school students.
During the 2013-2014 academic year, the University of the Virgin Islands- St. Thomas chapter participated in the 25th annual Afternoon on the Green, an annual, community-based "friend raiser" event. To make the event happen, several student clubs and organizations on campus collaborate with the Afternoon on the Green committee to ensure that the occasion is a success. The Golden Key chapter was responsible for organizing, planning and supervising the children's area, as well as setting up, cleaning up and working the information desk. In order to plan the children's section, the chapter sought out donations from local businesses, and on the day of the event, ten Golden Key members volunteered at the children's section where they had their faces painted, read books to the kids and hosted other fun activities. The event was a huge success and raised more than $25,000 to go towards scholarships for university students.
Congratulations to the University of the Virgin Islands- St. Thomas chapter for being named a 2013-2014 Key Chapter winner!
We would like to highlight the University of the Virgin Islands- St. Croix chapter for being named a Key Chapter for the 2013-2014 academic year.
From February 24 through March 31, the University of the Virgin Islands- St. Croix chapter hosted their Formal Wear Drive to collect formal dresses, suits and accessories. All collected items were donated to "Closet to Closet", a women's coalition thrift store, and were placed in the high end section of the store called "Shabby Chic". As a chapter, they were able to collect two boxes worth of clothes and accessories just in time for high school proms on the island. For Global Youth Service Day, the chapter attended two local elementary schools and spoke with the students about the importance of receiving an education. They also addressed issues that the students might have, such as frustration with homework, and asked them questions about material that they have covered so far. Towards the end of the visit, the Golden Key members read stories to the students and awarded them with prizes. The chapter also ran a campaign for voters with disabilities given that 2014 marks a year for local elections. The goal of the campaign was to educate the community and raise awareness about voting accessibility rights for voters with disabilities, and they ran the campaign online, on campus and within the community. The chapter saw a noticeable increase in awareness, and the campaign was an overall success.
One of the University of the Virgin Islands- St. Croix chapter's larger events was their "One Day Extensive Coin Drive" to benefit the Red Cross, which was hosted at the chapter's Honorary Members & Alumni Pre-Induction Mix and Mingle and their New Member Recognition Event. One reason for the success of the drive was due to the large amount of Golden Key members, alumni, honorary members, university staff and community officials who attended the events. Chapter members marketed the event via flyers and announcements, and they announced the drive on the invitations for both the Mix & Mingle and the New Member Recognition Event. Also, for every coin that was donated, the Dean of the Liberal Arts Social Sciences at the university (an honorary member) would match the donation. The drive required a dedicated, group effort from the chapter and ended up as a huge success!
Congratulations to the University of the Virgin Islands- St. Croix chapter for being named a 2013-2014 Key Chapter!

Bosq (aka Amphibious of Whiskey Barons): More Heavy/ Dem KnowClear Green Vinyl12" Vinyl Single Record
Price: $12.97

Only 1 left in stock.
Usually ships within 3 business days.
Not available for in-store pick-up
Product Details
Featuring: Kaleta
Producers: Bosq (aka Amphibious of Whiskey Barons)
SummaryBosq from Whiskey Barons and singer Kaleta join forces on this limited release. Deeply rooted in Afro-Disco with "heavy" grooves as the title track suggests, Bosq's production complements Kaleta's vocal stylings bringing the past and the future together to create modern dance-floor classics.
Bosq (once upon a time known as Amphibious) has released countless edits and remixes as one half of the Whiskey Barons (and was the sole producer on the Tumbao EP & Enferma Nocturna 7"), assisted in the production of all of the Kon & The Gang releases (including the Hooked On You and Feel Reel 12"s on Basic Fingers) and also makes up one half of the group Nitetime with Kon. That duo's debut EP "Jive Talk" was released earlier this year on the prestigious AU imprint Future Classic. More of his recent work include contributions to the Fania Hammock Lower East Side Series.
Amidst all of these projects Bosq had been amassing material for a record of solo works that were somewhere in-between all of these sounds and would be completely original instead of sample based. Bosq has played as much as possible himself (piano, organ, rhodes, percussion, drum sequencing, synth & bass work, etc) and brought in a wide range of experienced session musicians where needed, including guest vocalists on most every track. The results are an amalgamation of afro-latin, rock, disco & house, reggae & hiphop, all geared towards dancefloors with a dj's perspective & the input of veteran musicians from around the world.
For this afro disco geared 12" Bosq enlisted Benin born & Nigerian raised singer, producer & guitarist Kaleta. Kaleta brings years of experience playing with Fela Kuti himself, as well as King Sunny Ade and many more. Kaleta's chops on guitar, his animated vocal style, and genius for horn arrangements shine through on these tracks and perfectly complement the heavy grooves of Bosqs production style.

- You must know the company's mission statement word for word. Answer Question
- Interview Details
Website is tricky and it took me a few times before I could successful submit my application. From interview to first day of work was about 8 weeks (which it turns out, is pretty standard across all departments). Most of the training is online, and in-person training was disorganized at best. There are differences between what H/R thinks needs to happen, what I/T thinks needs to happen, what Recruiting thinks needs to happen, and what in-club management thinks needs to happen.
For example, to take on a role such as manager, an employee has to have access to payroll, recruiting, interoffice email, SMARTwebs, and a few other number-crunching programs. It took about 8 weeks to get me to 2/3 of my access, and even then, some of the upper management was upset that I was given access before attending elaborate "Leadership" training or certification courses.
Needless to say, I was a place marker and a temporary fix for a leaky hull. If you decide to work here, understand that the How To Get Things Done rubric is simply for show and everything moves at grass-growing pace (which drives those of us who are productive and like to get things done a little batty). Best of luck to you.Interview Questions

- Interview Details
I've been on both sides of the interview process, so I know that it can take a long time to get the initial reach out, since they hire on a revolving as-neeeded basis. The clubs I worked at were very picky about the candidates that they contacted, so make sure your application isn't just a churn-and-burn one that you've sent out to a million different places. Research the company, and only apply if you are serious about customer service, not just some summer job that you'll be at for 3 months. Plan to have actual experiences ready for the interview, not just "I would" or "I think" scenarios.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThe pay scale has some flexibility, but not much.Accepted Offer
- Why do you want to work for LTF? (Really think about this and answer truthfully!) Answer Question
- Application Details
I applied in-person. The process took 4 days – interviewed at Life Time Fitness.Interview Details
The true process of becoming a trainer at LTF is 3-way process. First you must get an interview which, if you have a clean record with a background in fitness, is not all that difficult. You meet with each of the 3 or 4 department heads and discuss your experience, background, etc (it's a piece of cake if you have any sense or present yourself reasonably well).
The next step is going through the week-long certification process wherever it's being held (I must admit that it's sort of nice, they give you a $500 stipend for food and pay for your hotel and gas expenses for the week). You sit with new hires from around the region and learn the products, go through the sales process, learn the commission structure, take group classes together, etc.
The final step in the process is the only difficult part and that is applying this to the gym where you work: Setting up tasting booths, prospecting new leads off the gym, setting up your schedule and book of business. Even though most people wouldn't consider this a formal part of hiring, there is definitely a sink-or-swim period when first hired and a very high turnover rate among new trainers who think they're going to be given a great book of business out of the gate. If you fight like a gazelle, you have a chance to make some real money but there are extremely long hours involved (many of which you're not actually working but sitting in an empty gym throughout your 7 hour shift) and you have to do alot of the work on your own. If I had to guess, I would say 1 or 10 trainers at LTF lasts more than 3 years or steps into a management role. Everyone else comes to their senses and realizes what a waste of time it is to expect things from higher up's who are mainly out for themselves.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsNo negotiation. It's 100% commission job and you create your own leads completely.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days – interviewed at Life Time Fitness.Interview Details
I was hired without an interview, but then required to go to an interview as a procedural safeguard. The interview was held with another interviewee who I did not know would be there. In essence, we were interviewing for the same position and shared our answers one after the other. I also had to write out the company goals and values word for word. I interviewed for another position with this company and that time it was a group interview with ten people, again with no forewarning.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThere is little negotiation with these entry level positions. The hours are made by the hiring staff and often they forget if you ask for certain times of day or days of the week off. Negotiation is better dealt with with department supervisors.Accepted OfferNegative ExperienceEasy Interview
