Be Honest, It is a Safety issue.....

Heavy Equipment Operator - (City withheld for privacy), Georgia, United States

When you apply for a job that does Equipment such as Backhoes, Dozers, etc. you have to know what you are doing so you do not injure someone else. I know, I have seen it happen on a job site. Be honest, at the very least you may be a laborer and move your way up in the company.
