  • I GOT THE JOB!!!!

    as soon as I call the talent coordinator and accept (just now got the voicemail). So some of you know my current employer has been cutting our hours to ridiculous levels and then this happened today: http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...d.php?t=115382

    Well, I busted my butt running all over town on the bus for 2 days straight in the heat interviewing my little heart out. Yesterday's interview I didn't want to go to because the bus service is limited and I had a mistake on my resume I didn't have enough time to fix and I knew I was missing one of the technical qualifications. I went anyway. It felt like what I love to do at the service desk, but it's on the phone. And the company is a great one. My friend only left them because she was moving out of state to be closer to family. She loved that job. It's a globally-reaching company that is contracted to lease a type of business machine that's been around since 1920 and that can't be owned by the clients because of some government regulations. Our location does billing and general customer service while the department that sells the lease contracts is in another state (I asked because I was interested in sales down the road.) The company is branching out to do other things, too.
    It's a job with pay slightly better than what I get now. I don't care that it's not a lot more because being employed full-time will help me so much. I plan for now to work my other job Saturdays and when I get a car the occasional Sunday. The more $ I have coming in, the sooner I'll get the finances taken care of. I'm excited!

    Oh, and the best part: I now realize the call for the new job came in just as my boss was pulling me into the office. YES

                  So are you going to give any notice or just clock out for the last time?
                  I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

                    I'm going to stay part-time for the extra money, discount, and dental (until my new benefits kick in). I'll work Saturdays and the occasional Friday night or Sunday night. I have a coworker who does that. One thing I can say for them is that they're pretty accomodating. It's just the whole credit app thing I have a problem with and the district manager's propensity for slashing hours. Most of the in-store management I like, especially the store manager and the HR lady. They've been very supportive and I think they'll understand why I'm doing this, though they won't be happy. My direct boss will be relieved, I think.

                            As far as keeping the current job as a part-time second job, be careful. They may want to schedule you every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That happened to me last time I held down multiple jobs; I ended up going 21 days in a row without a day off. Exhausting.

                            I understand wanting to pay off debts, but you need to think of your own health too. If it gets too much, dump the part-time job.
                            I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

                              Yep. I wouldn't be able to work Fridays because of my schedule and I have Sundays off. Saturdays it is.
