There was a light murmur in some corners of the call center. You remember that dopey oddball I told you about awhile back? The "you mean I gotta click all dem muthfuckahs" guy? It was rumored that he and this other girl, the "what happens if I don't meet my commitments?" girl, immediately left Fitzsimmons for another call center job that was paying in the mid-30's, and it was closer to where I live! Where was this?
A girl who was friendly with the "click dem muthufuckas" dope said a.) he got fired from that job in three days, but also b.) they were still hiring. She said she had even turned in a resume, and they called her to be a team manager (which she refused because she didn't feel ready)! Now, this girl is very nice and all and I suspsect she's much brighter than her cadence of speech, tattoo and early-20's single motherhood might make you think. Anyhow, she told me the Web site and I went there and quickly applied to be a team leader or a phone drone.
No dice on either one!
Then last Friday she told me that the landline phone company was hiring, and in fact she had an appointment to take an assessment. Another phone drone job, but the phone company's drone jobs pay even better, maybe even $20-$25 an hour, she said! I went to their career site and applied on the spot, since I've had my resume and profile in their database for a year.
Once again that was Friday. Yesterday evening, Monday, I came home to find my "thank you for your interest, but..." e-mail was warm off the presses and waiting in my in box. The tattooed single mother with no college degree in her early 20's passes inspection and I don't?!
As a side note, yesterday I saw Fitzsimmons was looking for new college graduates to join their executive sales training program. I'm not fresh out of college but since no one seems to think my past 12 years of work experience are worth a shit I must be as good as a fresh graduate, right? So I sent a resume. Once again, that was Monday morning, by 8 p.m. Monday evening I get home and the "thank you for your interest, but..." e-mail is cooling right next to the one from the big phone company.
Some Atlanta employers are about to receive a resume from Antonelius Washington of College Park, ironically with my same credentials! We'll see what happens! |

Now that is a genius idea! Should make for a fun social experiment. Can you feign ebonics-type speech over the tele? If you get called in for any interview I'd recommend renting "Soul Man" and taking notes.
