WOOHOOHOOBSEIRS!
I got an interview at Embarq yesterday! It was so fucking cool. If I'm hired I get to work in the seventh floor of the old Sprint building in Altamonte Springs - it's got an awesome view of the area. I could probably see my house from up there. Starting pay is $11 an hour, eight weeks of training before they put you on the job. I'll get sales commissions too, and this is all assuming I get hired. Shima told me that starting salary with commissions is usually $45,000 a year for new employees. Not only do I get a kickass view, great pay, and excellent training... I also get a start to a career there.
The bad news? I'm not sure if they're going to hire me just yet, but it looks extremely likely considering I did everything they expected within a very short amount of time and got everything right without asking mock customers for their information more than twice. There was this test I had to take that lasted 10 minutes, you had to take 8 orders from customers within that time period. They're pre-recorded and with my 100 words per minute typing ability, I managed to finish five out of eight within the ten minute period. That's about 65% completed, accurately and quickly. I can't wait to get to work with them, it's an awesome company and they all act like family there.
