I worked for The Villages for 18 months. My last day was last Thursday.

I applied for three different jobs, two IT related, one just a rec assistant. I got to the Rec Assistant

You have to be absolutely squeaky clean to work for TV. No drug issues, no criminal record, no credit issues. They will call all your references. They even called the company I last worked for in September 1999.

The reason I didn't get the IT jobs? Salary requirement. I guess I messed that one up, I told them what I used to make, I figured half of that would have been low enough. I should have gone with a 1/3rd. "The salary requirement can cause issues" to which I responded, "make me an offer", I should have said "offer me anything" lol.

Ah well, I started my home inspection business and did the continuing education during the slack time as a Rec assistant, so I got paid to continue my education. That's the reason I quit, I am doing so much Inspection and handyman work, I don't have the time to waste at Lake Miona for $13.36
