see, this falls into the category of me being a great big whore, and doing whatever i'm asked to, as long as someone is paying me.

i gotta support my toy habit, homesnake.

i'm nice, i'm efficient. when my employers make a demand of me, such as when they told me to lower my break times, i comply.

i make no bones about it. i'm a whore. they pay me to do exactly what they tell me to do.

i treat the callers with respect. i read the scripts mostly verbatim. if i realize that the question isn't getting the response we're looking for, i ask the question from another angle, so to speak, and if the caller doesn't get it, well, damn. that's their problem.

i mean, who wants to employ someone who doesn't understand simple questions? this is a "screening", after all.

generally, i try to explain the situation to the caller as well as i can, with my limited knowledge of the situation. if they ask about pay, i do, but only if we have that information on hand. if they ask for a phone number, same thing. i mean, in the case of the phone numbers, i apologize for not having them, and then i give them some ideas about how they'd go about finding that number, but in the case of pay, i just tell 'em "that'll be discussed further along in the employment process..."

so, it's not all about giving the caller every little bit of information they desire.  part of it is, of course, but i weight that against what i'm allowed to tell them by whichever client they're seeking employment with.

i think i do a good job.

and obviously, my employer does too.

Hey, that's pretty cool! What did you do to get recognized?

bwa-hah-hah!

i got to log off for a half-hour today, and be interviewed so that i could be included in the company newsletter, which is included in the envelopes with payroll checks, as a "recruiter in the spotlight".

they took pictures of me wearing my batman t-shirt, an ev'rything.

well, after being on full time for a month or so, i've made another advancement in the workplace.

i'm now a "TI recruiter", which means i do telephone interviews. that's what some of our clients do. they have us initially screen first time callers and set them up for telephone interviews, which is what i've been doing so far.

but today, i was one of four in a training class to be one of the people who conducts these scheduled telephone interviews.

it's pretty keen.

methinks that mid-november-ish will be the right time to ask for a raise, now...
