Phone interview Tuesday

Well, everyone, wish me luck! I have a phone interview the 9th at 2:20 central time.

This is for a customer service telecommuting position. Will work 5 days a week for 4 hours a day, including alternating Saturdays and Sundays. This position will last until the project is done which may be after the beginning of the new year. Hours are likely to be 9 to 1 or 1 to 5, will see.

I opted out of some things I could have done. Didn't want to go back into the "real world" and deal with commuting, clothing costs, dry cleaning, stress of interoffice politicking and so forth.

I don't think this will be an easy job, either. CS work is stressful and fast-paced. It takes problem solving, patience and an ability to defuse potentially messy situations. I have passed a whole battery of pre-testing and am hoping for the best. I will be judged on my voice, presentation of myself as able and willing and knowledgeable. My only concern is presenting myself as being an asset to the company. Then there is the fact that I haven't been out in the real world for 7 years...

Will keep everyone up on how this goes.

crossing fingers!

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
