By the time you see this message you will have started your new job. I hope it went great for you!
The job I originally got was at G.E. Capital Finance and starting pay was to be $11.00.
Crappy pay, but it's better than $0.00 per hour.
It was through a local temp agency who are well known for getting the "good" temp jobs...the ones that pay better.
The only problem was that the women who work at the temp agency are some of the nastiest I've ever encountered. They're not friendly at all and often take a harsh tone of voice with you for no reason at all.
So I applied at a different company. I kind of had an advantage because my female friend of almost 15 years has been there for 5-6 years and she put in a good word for me.
I interviewed for the position last week and the interview went great.
I interviewed with a man and a woman and we talked for well over an hour. By the time we were done, we were laughing and joking as if they'd known me for years.
I got a callback from them today and they offered me the position!
The job title is Product Support Analyst. It's basically a high level tech support position.
This company sells complicated accounting software to businesses. When they have a problem with the software, they'll call me and I walk them through it.
It's a little better than other tech support jobs because I start out at
$19.00 an hour!
That'll give me a chance to actually get out of the hole financially and start saving money.
And it has great hours. Monday through Friday 8-5 pm with weekends off.
I start September 2nd.
So hopefully it works out well.
