Step 3 Meeting Sales Manager
I met Bryan Waller the sales manager in Mississippi. Just a few minutes into this process my views of the company changed. Bryan said AKE was a faith based company, but you can have whatever God you like just have faith, he did add that he served Jesus. Directly following this statement he let us know the owner Allen was a Trump supporter and he too was a trump lover. He added if you don't have anything good to say about Trump keep your mouth shut. Obviously, due to such a statement I saw that he stood for the President more than he did for his God. A couple hours into the day Bryan informed us that he didn't eat lunch and wanted to push through to finish at 4 or 5. Bryan also made the statement that didn't do Nike or watch the NFL because of Kapernick and he wasn't going to support anyone who wouldn't stand up for our country. Being the only black person in there made me very uncomfortable with such a statement. I've spent 15 years in the US Army and have been overseas in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. All soldiers take an oath to defend the US constitution and the 1st amendment allows every American the right to a peaceable protest. I told Bryan this and he stated that Kapernick could have picked a better time to do the protest. However, a protest should be constructed in a manner where you get the most publicity. I went on to say that I love God and if someone wanted to protest my relationship with God it was their right and I fought for them to do so. Bryan had showed pics of his Ford truck and called it his baby, to which I informed him that Ford endorsed Kapernick also. He said that makes him sick. Bryan also stated that when they went to farms they come with the notion of being trump loving and supporting and he said that oftentimes the farmers would welcome you from this stance, he added that if they didn't then they didn't want to do business with them anyway. Bryan asked me was I offended and I told him yes. He said he didn't want to offend anybody. But he didn't apologize. I told him that this job wasn't going to a good fit for me. I fell like the whole process was just to ensure that AKE was meeting a quota for giving blacks a chance. I'm still waiting on the package that was supposed to be here a couple days ago. I was going to send it back, but its apparent that it didn't get sent although I was informed by Katie that it was scheduled to be at my house Monday.

Phone Interview
I completed a phone interview with Katie who was very professional and informative about expectations within the company and measures I would need to take to be successful. She is also proficient at following up with candidates. If this is the standard for the company, I can say it's a good organization to be a part of.

Step 1 - Interview with Ms. Katie
Good day, My name is Caleb. And I leaving a short assessment of my phone interview recently. I spoke to a young lady the other day concerning my recruitment call. She was extremely nice & informative during the conversation. Not sure if I’ll get a opportunity to make it to the next step. But overall it was a pleasant experience. Hope nothing but the best for the company as well as Ms. Katie. Very professional. And deserves a pat on the back from her colleagues. Thank you again. Be safe -Caleb Slaughter

She was a bit rude
The girl on the phone who conducted the interview made no attempt to hide her criticism about how I am working a full time job while looking for another job. I am not from the area she was recruiting for, and she continued to tell me how hard this would be for someone not from the area and who does not know the farming industry.

Research and interview
Following a professional interview with Katie, I contacted the WV Farm Assoc. and found out that Stop Fire is reviewed and recommended as an excellent product. I am now hopeful I am selected to be a part of this team.

Interviewing with Mary Beth!
Mary Beth knows her job! She was great at getting detailed answers as to why I wanted to work in fire extinguisher sales with AKE. Being able to give back to my community is paramount since leaving the military and protecting them from something as common yet fatale as a fire is of utmost importance to me! Mary Beth asked detailed questions so as to get down to applicants motives for employment. She seems to be quite an asset to her company and reflects the honor they take in creating a superior product.
