I applied online. I interviewed at PPD (Madison, WI) in Dec 2020
Interview
Get interviewed by four different people for a job that pays you fifteen an hour. If you're lucky you'll pass with flying colors, which means you're going to have to take a 10 panel drug test because they think that you somehow passed their interview while absolutely demolished on quaaludes.
After you get through the drug test you're going to have to provide three professional references so they can make sure you're not a spy for the CIA or something.
