Meet “Lona & Laurie” two extremely sweet and lovable sisters! They are almost identical in their unusual marking with the exception of Lona who has black on her head and tail, and Laurie has gray. These girls love people as much as they love each other. We are looking for an ideal home that would be interested in adopting the girls together, as they are what we call a “bonded pair” and thrive in each other's company. Both sisters have been spayed and are up to date with their rabies and FVRCP shots.

When interviewing for a job, remember you are interviewing them while they are interviewing you. Research the company, school, business, or organization. Find out why they have a vacancy. Know their philosophy, core values, goals, and expectations.
Expectations and evaluations are the two most important components of starting a new job. What do they expect from you, and how will you be evaluated?
