Potential Job #1

Well, for the past week I've been in communication with TEK about a job at Boeing doing corporate tech support at a call center. I took some proficiency and typing tests last night and did "exceptionally well" on them, so I'm expecting a call this afternoon to set up an immediate interview. If all goes well, I should be near the top of the list for this job based on my test scores, and they're hiring about 60+ people total for it. It's a 2-year contract, so I'd be locked in for that long, and it's $16/hr and 40 hours a week plus every 6 months I'd get an additional $1/hr completion bonus... so about $1k every 6 months. They're looking for all shifts, but hopefully I scored high enough to have my pick. I don't know where it will be located yet, Boeing has offices all over the place, but I should be finding that out today. Downsides are that it's a call center, it's strict (each call can last no longer than 660 seconds, etc), but at least they will fully train me. If I have faith in anything, it's that if someone will show me how, I can DO anything. Exactly how I'll hold up to working at a call center environment and dealing with customers again we shall have to see, but at least they'll be corporate customers, not just random people. An additional benefit will be that hopefully I'll be able to join the Boeing Employee Credit Union, which is an exceptional financial institution.

It's kinda ironic that even tho I've been working really hard at this job hunt, it looks like I'm gonna end up getting what I'd been counting on all along, which was a job thru TEK. Oh well, I don't have it yet, and hey, maybe I'll find something for $20/hr that's not a call center ;)
