You were running a car dealership on eBay? I'm sorry to hear that the rules change hurt you. However, I do understand why CityCenter is more hesitant to hire a self-employed person who previously sold cars on Craigslist or eBay, when they have a number of other people who have casino experience applying for positions. Good luck with your search though.

Fair enough, you haven't been downright nasty like others have been

I got called at 5:40pm for the interview way back in March. Not sure if it's different now. Maybe just until 6pm? After that you should be good to go on with your life..lol. I was the same way. I didn't want to leave the house until my call came in.

Then of course the one day I go to the Libary I get home (not even thinking to check my voice mail) My husband checked it and said the job offer came in. I thought he was joking. I was like "Whatever". Then he handed me the phone and sure enough it was my now manager asking me to give her a call back because she wanted to offer me the position..lol Go figure..
