I have many years back.

All wireless companies are hell holes, but it's the best hell hole out of all of them.

What position?

Kind of funny that you ask that because I have a little bit of a problem.

See, last week I was offered a position at another Verizon Wireless store through a temp agency as a temporary full-time greeter. I am suppose to start tomorrow but tuesday I received a call from our local VZW store asking if I wanted to come in for a interview for a full-time Customer Sales Rep. So tomorrow, I am going to the interview for the Customer Sales Rep and immediately following that I am going to start my other Verizon job at the other store.

I rather take the Customer Sales Rep (even though I hate working in sales) just because it is actually with Verizon and not a temp agency where I may not be guaranteed a job after 3 months.

You need to be able to multitask and be able to deal with high level of stress. You need to have people skills and be able to deal with unhappy costumers at all times. Sometimes, job gets insanely busy and people have to wait for service like its a freaking doctors office... Be polite and apologize for the wait. You need to be able to work in teams and by your self. If manager is not happy with you, never talk back... even if your manager just hit puberty.

I never worked at Verizon Wireless but I did stay at Holiday Inn last night.

I hope you realize there could be problems if the Full-time position is offered to you by Verizon...

If you've gotten a job through a real "Temp Agency", and you've filled out their paperwork, then you are their employee working a "job" for Verizon . If you abruptly end your employment with the Temp Agency to work for Verizon, they have the right to demand your contract's wages from Verizon, and Verizon would have to find their own person for the job you were offered. It means Verizon will not have an employee for the temp-position, AND possibly owe the Temp Agency money, just to hire you full time. So add your full-time salary to that temp agency's contract, and that's what you are costing Verizon.

Now.. if this was a pure head-hunting agency, that's different... they get paid a fee for finding you. But if it is really a "Temp Agency" that's giving you a 3-month contract... you might have screwed the pooch here.

You should (if you haven't already) discuss this with the person you're interviewing with.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
