Overheard in our offices at Early to Rise this week…

Actual interview for a Customer Service Telephone Representative position!

Consider this the new Poster Child for how not to interview for a job…

ETR: Hi, thanks for coming. So, first of all, tell me… why are you leaving your current job?

Applicant: The calls. They are so stressful.

ETR: What do you find stressful about them?

Applicant: There are so many. And the people, they’re all unhappy.

As Dave Barry sometimes says, “I’m not making this up.”

Talk about sending the WRONG message.

NEXT!

Words do matter.

Make sure you’re sending the right message about yourself… your products… and your company.

[Ed. Note: Learn how to present yourself in the best light, and you'll double your chances of getting the job, making the sale, or impressing the customer. Discover how to command respect from your peers and take control of your own destiny right here.
