first time posting...but long time lurker on the revscene boards...
been following this forum since i got my first interview at shaw just to see how people liked working for the company as a TSR......but i couldnt post cause my account wasnt activated yet...which took forever lol 
anyway....i went through the first 1 on 1 interview then the dual interview and both went well.
I got the official call after the crim check/refs today and officially got hired. I start training on Aug 9.

Shaw's policy for all new hires is that they start them as Part time...but the HR person told me usually PT hires get FT hours....but thats just their policy. Guaranteed 20 hours a week.
No i didnt go to the open house, i just applied online like a month ago and went through the 2 interviews and got called.
the second interview they said, if you get a call then you get hired...if you got an email then thats not good news
