with a day time 500 watt omni. Even moved up to coming in before school to
cue up the farm report. Then I went to school up north by then I had a 2nd
class. The nice man at a station near school told me I needed a 1st to work
there. The testing never ended back then <smile>.
I got a 1st.
I did get the job but I got married and had to get a real job my lovely
bride told me one day <smile>. Now I own a station. <grin>
Good luck on your new GROL!

I wish it had been that simple.

I was 19, with a second class commercial radiotelephone license so new
the ink wasn't dry yet (and since the FCC ran them off en masse on a
line printer that is saying something).  I interviewed for a job based
on the license, and the gentleman I was talking to said, "You have a
second 'phone?  I do too -- had to take the test three times [I think;
this was a while ago] before I passed it.  How many times did you test
before you passed?"  Being honest, I said, "Only once".  Well, he
straightened right up in his chair, went from friendly and curious to
polite, and said, "I do have some other candidates for the position, but
I will definitely keep you in mind.  Thank you for coming to see me
today".

I sorta' had the sinking feeling that he wasn't going to offer me a job,
and so far he hasn't.  I think it was that "only" that torpedoed my
chances.
