Finally, I am an Employee…

After much heartache and job searching, I finally landed a job!

It provides decent pay, $9.5/hr for the first 3 months and then it goes up to 10$/hr. Enough for my lifestyle anyway, although the pizzas are gonna have to be homemade instead of being delivered by Boston Pizza.

I will be in extensive classroom training for the first few weeks so that I can learn about the company client’s products and services. After that, I will be attending on the floor training for another few weeks. It’s paid training so I’m looking forward to it.

I start on May 26th so until then I only have $175 worth of grocery food. (Rest of the cash goes to my rent.)

I will be a StarTek employee working in a call center. Sounds dull and yucky but it is actually pretty great. Aside from the great pay, the company is involved in a lot of community stuff.

I am so glad that the TBay branch of StarTek is different from the horror stories that I hear from US employees. Besides, one of my friends works there so if it turns out to be horrible then at least I have company!
