Thank you,

Amy

haha New guidance from HR apparently said they will evaluate qualifications as needed. Either they really need LIMS teachers or they are pulling lists first and evaluating as they go.

It happened to me in the past. I made it all the way to interview before the principal looked at my transcripts and said he'd love to hire me but didn't think I w...See More

HelpOthers The referral lists are pulled based on the areas you said you qualified in. Verification will be done later. Some choose to get the verification before the interview and others at the time of the offer.
