Good luck to those interviewing.
Personally know two folks heading into class on the 11th. I sure as hell hope they end up hiring far more than just 48...we need upwards of 150 to really take care of some of the minimum staffing issues we have, couple that with standard attrition as other companies return to hiring, we're due to significant numbers through the new year.
Enjoy training, but be ready to work...it's coming...
