I am employed, kinda

beanpop you will be getting a referral in your file.

I interviewed (and was hired) at West today.  It is an inbound call center, after a month of training, I will be handling incoming calls regarding a large phone company - billing questions, deleting services and adding services.  The pay sucks  is better than no pay, I don't have to work weekends (which is good).

I can't believe the rules though.  It is a call center and I can't wear jeans except on Friday.  I don't think I can get away with my Berks either (what is a girl to do?????).  

I start training March 1-28, then nest (doing phones with someone with me), then start work April 3rd.  I will have to finalize my vacation time this summer and get my request in (w/o pay of course) for when I go back to Ohio for Longaberger and New York to do research.  I might just have to do Longaberger and skip the New York trip for later.  We'll see.

Congratulations and good luck!
I hate the no jeans rule... esp. when some people look more professional in jeans than others do in khakis or whatever else. It's just silly.

Thnak you all. I know I am not going to be happy there but income is income and we need more income.

The no jeans rule is terrible, who would have thought that I (who will never see the client) needs to look business casual. I guess it will be lots of khakis and then I will move on to denim dresses once it begins to get warm. Will need to find something for my feet since my berks are out. I assume these rules are a result of a bunch of idiots not knowing how to dress. They even spell out NO FLIPFLOPS. I have some cute ones, with flowers and everything. Thses people better not open a site in Hawaii, they would get no one to work there with these rules.

Maybe some closed-toe Berks?

I'm sorry that you're in a position where you have to take on something that is so far from happy making, but am glad you were able to find something that works.
