Interview for IT position.

[Knightro2]

LOl, yea...but for IT guys it's a right of passage. You have to have served time in the trenches in order to go onto bigger and better things. One of my friends who is the Director of IT at a big law firm offered me a job for a little more money than I'm making now. But it would have required going back on the phones. I said no thanks, I've done my time. I worked to hard to get off the phones.

Helpdesk is terrible. Hopefully you do well at it so you can move on to something more interesting. Tell them you're motivated by puzzles and problem-solving and that you like being a source of knowledge for other people.

[IBCoupe]

When they ask if I have any questions I want to ask about naps!

At my current job I'm the only one here. So once I get everything self sustaining I take a nap

Seems like a bad way to win friends and influence people... if you're into that sort of thing.

I believe this thread is a good time to drop an ancient but still-hilarious link.

This is a real call I took ten years ago. I supported Office, IE, OE, etc. This guy called for an IE question, I think he was medicated. I hated life that afternoon.

Alright, had the interview. Everything went smooth.

It was a very relaxed conversation with the HR rep.

Just asked basic questions.

They had a technical assessment. 27 questions on Domain functions. I surprised myself and only missed 1! LOL.

He handed me the drug test paper work. So I guess that's a good sign... Now I just have to go piss in a cup and wait for results...

Oh, man...that was hard to listen to. Those kinds of calls are why Remote Desktop is a gift from the heavens.

i couldn't get 1/4 of the way through it. that dude was torture.

[AppleBonker]

For your sake I hope that test doesn't detect elevated levels of retard.

Dude, most companies wouldn't have anyone working for them if that was the case!

Oh how I wish it were possible to test for Stupid.

Ok so I finished listening to the ENTIRE thing...

I see you in a whole new light, not only is your patience infinite, but your voice is angelic.
After you were finished resolving his issue, I would of just sat there to see how long he could talk about his life before he game up or fell asleep.

How long was that MP3? It felt like 2 hours. And all that for changing his homepage?

[seang]

PMQ, man, I'm not one to just throw the word "stupid" around; and I'm actually more inquisitive towards its usage. It irks me to see other people who I feel are smart throw it around, but that is a bias on my part because I'm just an observer and they are the actor. But people have some savage desires, man, and you are the target of those desires. The best thing, I feel, is not to force people into hating you, and then controlling their behavior by dangling laws and rules in front of their face, but to have them, on their own free will, not to be against you. It would be a damn shame not to tell you this, so that at least you may know. That way the only thing you can be guilty of is a catch 22.

[IBCoupe]

That guy's a filmmaker? I pity his audience.

[audtatious]

Oh how I wish it were possible to test for Stupid.

That would be hard to do. I run into smart people all the time that simply have problems seeing the forest for the trees.

That's you Jesda?!?!?!?! Firstly, I don't know how you didn't just hang up on that dude, that was seriously painful to listen to. Second, you have a great customer support voice. Just sayin.

Hahahaha
OMG thats the funniest thing ive heard in a long time.
I dont know how you kept from laughing.
You were born for Customer Service

[Jesda]

You were born for Customer Service

I hope this same saintly patience serves me well as a doctor... if it doesn't kill me first.

[PoorManQ45]

Well, I was offered the position.

I am choosing to accept it as this will at least get me back into a corporate environment.

I referred my friend, the one that testified on my behalf in the unemployment hearing, he got accepted too. So, I believe I've made up for putting him in a bind by getting him a new job. We will both be in the same training class, so this should be awesome!

[Jesda]

Good! The universe is back in balance.

[RicerX]

Dude I just listened to that call. Holy f**k. I would've taken the dude's address and called in an airstrike.
