I got a really cool new job! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 07-22-2005, 03:59 PM

I've been looking for a permanant job for several months now- well, again thsi isn't a permanant one just yet,lol, but it'll last about 2 months, which is pretty good.

I'll be working in customer service taking phone calls for a company called BuyCostumes.com. They are the largest company in the world that that sells or distrubutes halloween costumes. I got the job through a staffing place. I'm really excited because we got to take a tour of where we'll be working today and I'll get my own desk in a cubicle and a computer! I've always wanted a desk job since all my other jobs before have been stand on your feet all day or food service! I don't know when I'll start- mid August at the earliest. It all depends on how busy they are with orders/calls. It'll be part time M-F and mandatory Saturdays in the month of October since they get like thousands of phone calls and orders that month.

I know it will be a little hard since people who call most of them will have some complaint or be mad but they said it's a fun job because you're dealing with halloween costumes, not something really boring. Until the end of Sept. I'll still be working my job at the Brewers, too, so some day I'll be at this job during the day and work a night game the same night!

Just remember the magic question: "What can I do to fix this for you?"

It should calm them down, and it'll throw the ball into their court.

Fun stuff! Congrats

My stepmom owns and operates a party supply store out here...so they sell Halloween costumes, and her store sells the most Halloween costumes of any place in the city. Fun stuff...I have always helped them every year with getting ready for the Halloween rush.

they bought you your own computer? that's pretty cool! I bought a mac last summer and had to pay for it myself! congrats on the new job though.

Thanks everyone else too!

TripperFan · 07-23-2005, 12:21 AM

A Big Congrats!!! That sounds like fun!

Don't be surprised if you get an order from Fleet - our biggest Halloween fan (next to me, but I'm guessing they don't deliver to Canada)!

Jrnygrl · 07-23-2005, 12:56 AM

That is great news!!!

I hope the luck will come my way next. I had another interview, they seemed to like me! But I have heard that before.

Anyway congrats on the new job, even if it is only two months your working.
