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.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
