Interviewed for a job you guys might find interesting.

I had the final interview for a job at the "Stillwater Mine Smelter" here in Montana.



I did wonderfully at the interview but now its a waiting game to see if I got selected.

Still Water Mine is the only palladium and platinum mine in the US. When I did my tour of the facility after my interview they briefly showed me where they bring in catalytic converters to be re-smelted.

Hopefully, I get this awesome job and I can give a little insight on how that all works.

Wish me luck.

Good luck 406! is it underground ? I worked once in a gold mine. Remember the Beatles tune? Once upon a time in the black mining hills of South Dakota there lived a man name of Rocky Racoon? Well, it was written long before i went there ; )

The mine is underground. I was originally trying to get a job as a miner because it paid better but after seeing this job become available I jumped at it. Closer to home than the actual mine and still gives me a good schedule with time off to be home more.

I went to college in the black hills in South Dakota

Was it the Homestake college? I believe they had their own college there too. Hek, they owned everything.

i know they had a mining school, owned all the land(you could lease 99 years to build a house), their power plant supplied the electricity to all the towns, their water plant supplied all the water, even the Cops, I believe, worked for them

I went to Black Hills State but its very close to the old Homestake Mine.

Hey all the best!!

Good luck, 406. Hope it works out for you.

Very interesting! I hope you get the job! Perhaps you saw a few of our cats.

So I take it he didn't get the job and ended up a hermit........................or he's got the job and is now a multi millionaire by now how knows if anyone can pass this info on would be great to find out

Being as the original post was made in 2012...I'm sure he appreciates all of your well wishes....4 years later.

Well done Necro Thread raiser. Your posting in various super old posts trolled some of the members.

Necro thread raiser. That's a good one Sir.

2023 is when he'll receive all of his "Congratulations" cards. It only took 4 years for people to wish him the best of luck.

Necro thread raiser was the only nice thing I could think up Jimi.

The person in question was posting in old threads last night.

I feel bad for the next group of mods. They got big shoes to fill.
