Updated on the job front are as follows: I went for my second interview with US Bank. I suppose everything went alright. They did mock calls and had me sit in a room and make like I was answering calls, while they pretended to be the customer a few rooms away. They told me I really had no coaching opportunities (in regards to my phone etiquette) and then he asked me more questions for the position – if I could work during these times, etc..<\/p>\n
After he was done with his questions he asked if I had any questions. I asked him how long did I have to remain in this position before I could move elsewhere? (in a sense, asking how quickly I could move up in the company) His response was that I had to stay in my current (phone) position for 6 months. Then after those 6 months I could apply to also process loans. I told him that was good, but processing loans is on the phone too, right? So I asked him if after those six months I could apply for a job that was off the phone. He told me, “No” and continued that with – the loan position requires six months before you and go anywhere else in the company. Basically you have to stay on the phone for at least 1 year (at the min) before moving elsewhere. I asked him if – after that time it would be easy to find a job- processing claims, or doing whatever they had off the phone. He told me that US Bank doesn’t favor internal employees as opposed to external applicants. After that year time frame I would have to apply for the new position just as anyone else wanting that job.<\/p>\n
I had to clarify with him, that didn’t make sense to me. Any job that I’ve had – has always tried to bring the talent up from within the company (if available) first before turning to outside sources. He reassured me that being an employee would not help any more than if I was applying from the outside. That was discouraging and also from my point of view- the deal breaker.<\/p>\n
As much as I don’t like Arizona I will be returning. I just don’t want to advertise this to anybody. I don’t want to have to explain such things. It is bad enough that I have to do it – little loan have to explain to friends about the whole matter. It isn’t the act of explaining it to others that gets me. It is the initial reaction from people “oh, he’s moving again” or countless other things that I’ve heard. One comment that was made by Dayna (back when I was at Cascade) was “what the hell is wrong with you? can’t you make up your mind?” and that comment stung- coming from (at the time) one of my closest friends. Those words always stuck with me and because of it I would rather just keep the information to myself unless I need to tell someone.<\/p>\n
So anyway, I was browsing the internet tonight and circuitcity.com is back up and running. There is a company that bought the website and former name- now they sell electronics but only online. Still nice to see that it they came back in some way shame or form.<\/p>\n
I leave you with some lyrics..<\/p>\n
“When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured,
Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.<\/p>\n
Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won’t you please, please help me?”<\/p>\n
just Pray<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
