    Hello, I'm a new member, but thought I would chip in as I've done commercial laundry (coin-op and some heavy duty) and been a technician for the better part of the last 5 years. (Interspersed with some construction sidework and remodeling)

    I'm heading to Sears office in Columbus OH in a few hours for a job interview for service tech. I hear they treat their people remarkably well, so wish me luck

    Kevin,

    Good luck in Ohio.

    I used to take my wife and kids to Slanesville, W.VA every October in a motor home to visit good friends before they moved to Winchester, VA. Met all the neighbors--nearest one lives some two miles away. Good people.

    Not sure where you are located but Slanesville is beautiful country.

    Hi Kevin,

    Hope the job interview at Sears worked out good, I been with Sears ever since Montgomery Ward went bankrupt in March 2001. They actually came to our shop just before we closed and offered all the Wards techs. a job as Sears Techs.

    They have treated me very well, great management, our manager is a great person to work with.

    Hope it works out for you.

    Update: They compressed the interview process into 2 interviews, the drug screening ( which I passed) and the background check release. I called to thank them for their time, and they said they would be calling me back with a start date after the background check. <keeps fingers crossed>

    They said it would normally have been 3 separate processes - 2 interviews with managers, drug test and background check screening - so multiple trips would've been a bad thing.

    Just a note though - Got the job <jumps up and down like an idiot>

    I'm still young enough to be tickled to death over a good company to work for.
