I would like to apply for the “Mail Service Associate”job but I don’t have a car to get to Frederick,Maryland.I live in the Glen Burnie Area.I could easily qualify for the job opening.I wish there was a bus that went there.
I’m guessing your interested in the job posting from Frederick Work Force, for a time I didn’t have a car either:
There is a greyhound or trailways bus that runs between Baltimore and Frederick but I think it does so via downtown Washington DC, the cost was less than I thought it might be but takes a circuitous route (it takes a while to get from point A to point B)
Sorry…
