I got a job!
 

I applied online New Years Day, he sent me an email right back to come in to fill out an application. So yesterday I dressed for an interview and headed to town. I went to fill out an application with my resume attached. He took one look at my resume and said "I am sorry but you are over qualified to work here, can you start today?"

We chatted for a few minutes about pay and I left to go get something to eat and was back within an hour.

Now, it is only one of those call centers that they hire everyone that walks in the door but right now to me, it is a job! Something I didn't have yesterday at this time. I explained I am going to college and he assured me he would work around my schedule. I have every Sunday off and if I can get my 38.5 hours in during the week I won't have to work Saturdays either (but with school that is going to be hard)

I had 2 hours of training on the "Instyler" (a revolutionary hair straightner and curler) and was on the phone working calls. I had my first sale in the first half hour! :D but, then the rest of the night it was dead. :(

I am working today just so I can get some more experience. I met a really nice girl who has the same name as DD#1, and she was a GREAT help to me all night. Plus one of the other girls who took training with me I hooked up with to try to work together to help each other. She has never done sales before where I have it sure helps!

2009 seems to be starting out on the right foot for me! Let's just :smileypray: it continues! :wink:

Yay! Congrats g/f! Hopefully your 2009 goes like the latter half of my 2008!

Good for YOU! :cool:

I'm really happy for you!! :D

Being off your feet will be nice. ;)

Congrats and all my blessings to you! That is one job I could never do. I'm glad some one will.

Yay Char!!!!!woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:hug:

Way to go, Char! :yahoo: :Dancing-Chilli:

Sounds like a great job. You get to sit, there are nice and helpful people who work there, and you don't have to deal with the public face-to-face. :)

Ah, kudos, my little lambchop! How excellent for you. Soon our little maverick will be moving into her corner office as the director of sales. :hug:

cool beans yabbit, congrats

Way to go Char! Congrat's!

Good for you!

Thats very exciting and its always cool to meet nice, new people! Keep us posted.

Congrats, Char...it'll be a great way to spread your good cheer! :)

Great news! Definately a good way to start the new year.

Yahoo for you, Char! I've sold shoes and real estate. Selling is a tough job, especially over the phone. So, tell us about the 'Instyler'. Maybe I'll buy one :).

Congrats Char! :hug:

That's fantastic news Yabbit!
Starting the new year off in the best way!:hug:

I am so happy for you, especially since the last one didn't work out for you..:)

Don't need a hair straightener, but let me know if you come up with a gadjet to make me younger, smarter and purtier...:D

Oh I think I would like something that does that. I don't wear long enough hair to use a straightener tho.

I prefer to call them "contact centers" rather than "call centers" :D I work in one as well. I began 7+ years ago on the phones taking inbound technical service calls, and eventually moved off the phones and now I answer client emails.

Depending on the company, you can get some wickedly good benefits in a contact center beyond your paycheck :) Congrats and good luck to you!

Hey yeahbut, woohooo congrats...love ya, and hugss,sarah

You already have one of those Sal-Pal; it's called a mirror. How can you mess w/perfection? :hug:


Way to go Char girl!!! So glad for you! Just keep that confidence up and you'll do just fine. Now, about that Instyler? AMN wanted me to tell you that she'd like to order 100 of them for her close and personal friends. :D

Congratulations Char - I am SO happy for you and hope that all goes well with the new job!!! I'm glad to hear that your boss will work around college and other things for you - that is great and makes soo much difference!!!!

You're in my thoughts and Congratulations again!!

Oh YAY CHAR!!!

I know how much of a load this takes off your mind!

Vacation's over... now get back to work and back to class!!!

Yeahbut, I've watched that infomercial, it's usually on at 8am. Seems like a neat gadget if you fight with frizzy hair.

COngrats on the job and praying that it works out for you.
