My child is going to be a lifeguard this summer, and I was told only 13 people applied - they need 30 to fully staff both pools. The woman running the interviews was unnecessarily nasty to my child (first job interview ever) and when a follow up email was sent, it was ignored, which is quite rude and unprofessional when you only have 13 applicants and need 30 bodies. Additionally, the paperwork offering the position stated the rate of pay at 11.99/hour,which is below minimum wage in MA and illegal (the dollar figure was filled out in live blue pen, so I know it was not photocopied and 2020 minimum wage was also above that figure).<br /><br />I am not happy that my child will have to schlep down to Greenwood to work, when Bliss is within walking distance, and my younger child won’t be able to go to the pool at Greenwood because of the distance/working parents.<br /><br />Additionally, I felt that the pool director was not being true when she said that they did outreach for lifeguards at the HS - there was nothing that I or any other teacher saw posted. I know that the Georgetown condos came to recruit at the JCC lifeguard course in April to solicit applicants, but the Town did not, which was poor.No free kindergardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066994992356185308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994253008427414465.post-79930933951532135602021-05-30T11:24:59.872-04:002021-05-30T11:24:59.872-04:00GREAT MEMORIES FOR MY FAMILY YEARS AGO IT MUST STA...GREAT MEMORIES FOR MY FAMILY YEARS AGO IT MUST STAY OPEN PLEASE DO NOT DIVIDE lONGMEADOW <br />Anne O'Connor HennesseyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899732881037490146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1994253008427414465.post-38168389372796690242021-05-28T19:31:49.406-04:002021-05-28T19:31:49.406-04:00Please please please!
