ODoyle Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 You have to have a steady job history,good references(they check),and the ability to pass through 3 interviews one being a phone interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 You have to have a steady job history' date='good references(they check),and the ability to pass through 3 interviews one being a phone interview.[/quote'] I've had the same job since I was 16 (about six years working there now) and interviews wouldn't be a problem, but I don't understand the whole "importance of references" thing. Who would you list as references if you've only had one job? My current boss isn't the type that would cooperate with that type of thing.....

ODoyle Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Idk maybe a supervisor,or make someone up and have your friends play the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l36tols1 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Wow they raised the pay a whole $1,500 a year from waaay back when I started back in '04 I no longer work in the call centers. But it was a pretty fast paced job. Benefits are good the people you work with are good the eye candy is top notch! At least when I was there. The ONLY thing I didn't like was the scheduling not sure if it's changed since I was there. But it's definately worth it pay is good way to many opportunities to move up quick! Go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 easy job just far as hell from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 That job was easy to get an offer for. They kinds messed with me on the hours though. If you want to get it, it seems like it would be a good place to work. Brian Carter, do you know if they are bringing back the part time stuff?

TTQ B4U Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I've had the same job since I was 16 (about six years working there now) and interviews wouldn't be a problem, but I don't understand the whole "importance of references" thing. Who would you list as references if you've only had one job? My current boss isn't the type that would cooperate with that type of thing..... references aren't so much about past employers. list customers and partners you may have worked with. put down people that will be able to speak to your relevant skills and transferable abilities to the position you're looking at.

ODoyle Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I applied a couple weeks ago and they haven't called me back. I guess going from riding on a train to having to talk to people isn't on their want list. Call them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Anyone know what kind of hours this job is offering? Full-time, 5 days a week or what? references aren't so much about past employers. list customers and partners you may have worked with. put down people that will be able to speak to your relevant skills and transferable abilities to the position you're looking at. Thanks, I think thats the route I'll go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 How do you apply online? According to careers.verizonwireless.com theres nothing available in Dublin? And it says nothing about their call centers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Check verizonwireless.com. If its not listed then there are no positions being promoted... but we are always hiring to replace people that are no longer with the company. I've been there for the last 8 years and we are listed as one of the most secure jobs (knock on wood) in the country. Another way to apply is to drop off a resume at the call centers front security desk (The building closest to Dublin Coffman Road). BTW... I do not have any real pull other than being a reference. Also if I'm scheduled to do any of your interviews I would have to have another manager do it to avoid a conflict of interest (same with me being appointed as your manager). Hal we do not have any part time positions right now, but Val just got hired and started working on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost face Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Call centers suck. +1 I almost got a job from them bout 2 yrs ago... until they told me the training is for like 3 months and you don't know which shift you are working from week to week.

HotCarl Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Damn. And for everyone saying they cant find a job.... yeah I'd be interested to see the amount of 'over qualified' applicants that try to get a job there. My ex use to work there, hours are different (hell its a call center after all, how many call centers do you know only work 9-5?) but the pay is great, she always got OT when she wanted and benefits were great too. Oh and l36tols1 she was definitly part of said eye candy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The training classes have always been a set time. You know what hours you work during training and for how long the second you are hired.

evan9381 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Wow they raised the pay a whole $1,500 a year from waaay back when I started back in '04 I no longer work in the call centers. not knocking the people that work there, but i would that anyone applying there is just looking to get *something* to get by, and i dont think even i would complain about $14+ and bonuses/benefits...IIRC, dont you get pretty much unlimited shit on a wireless plan for next to nothing? i thought i heard it was $5 a month...if so, if you have a $75 phone plan, and save another $70 bucks a months, thats just "extra money" to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
