I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Oak Ridge Shrubbery & Landscape (Oak Ridge, NC) in May 2010
Interview
It's a straight-forward process and, in my experience, they are pretty personable and honest about what you can expect from working there and what they expect of you. They will not hire anyone who smokes or doesn't have a GED or high school diploma (or are working towards one).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you a non-smoker and do you have either a GED or high school diploma (or are working towards one)?
