What are some fun activities for toddlers (24 - 36 months) to do during the weekday near the Memorial Villages? I don't see many libraries in the area for story time. The playgrounds in this area are a little older and usually empty. Are there any enriching activities near the Memorial Mall?

Hi Fishes,

I have applied to one of the roles about 10 days back and I didn't recieve any calls regarding my screening or interview.

Can someone tell me how many days does it take for the initial screening to happen after applying.

Also, how much time will it take for all the process to happen ( screening + interview + final discussion).

Thanks in advance

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute. I wasn't available at that time so I mailed the HR for a different slot. They again scheduled it for a later date without checking the time with me.
