Finished one week at new job!

June 28th, 2014 at 03:27 am

On Monday I started a part-time job where I call people to survey them about their opinions on the healthcare in their area. Monday and Tuesday nights were training and orientation, and then Wednesday, Thursday and tonight I spent calling people using the training study. About two hours in to my shift tonight I got the message that my session had been ended by my supervisor.

The reason it was ended was because I'd received high enough evaluations on the completed surveys to move on to an actual client survey! I didn't make any phone calls yet on this new project, but I will start making them on Monday.

This job definitely does not pay much - but it does at least guarantee a minimum amount per hour as long as you are following their policies, and the possibility of making more in bonuses if you complete so many surveys in an hour, or later on for positive attitude, etc.

The way I'm looking at it right now is, it's a job. It's something. Not what I'd want to do full time or for very long, but it will bring some income in.

In other news, I just redeemed for $54.44 on the bubblews site. It took awhile, but I think the next one will come much faster. (If you want to read some of my latest postings, click on the link on the left hand side of my profile. That'll take you to a list of my postings there.)

I recently got the bill for my new ISP. I was quite incensed by some of the charges and called to complain. About $45 worth of charges were removed after I spoke with the CS agent. I'm still not happy with the ISP, but I unfortunately don't have much choice.

    Congratulations on the new project. I took a job a Target for about two weeks paying $10.50/hour and I have a masters, the way I looked at it was it was a job, and possibly moving up. But I was offered a job paying more, I just hope Target keeps me on part-time because I really do like it.

    Congrats on your new job! My hubs are also planning to transfer into a new company, he has some interviews this coming of weeks. And talking about ISP, I really want to change mine too, lately I had a problem with my internet.

    Gallup? There's Target in your town, too. My cousin works at one stocking early mornings. Nice haul on the bubblews site...I didn't realize you could cash out on there.

    CCF - I tried applying for something on the Gallup site, but it wouldn't let me open up one part of the application. I need to try back again though. There is a Target not far from where I am, about ten minutes. I should check and see what they have.
    Yes, bubblews pays Smile You cash out after you've made $50. My first $50 took nearly two months, but I think my next cashout will be much quicker since I've developed a fairly quality bunch of connections.

    Thanks Amber and Marie

    Congrats on the new job! It may not be a lot of money, but any money is always good and it sounds like you are doing well as you met their expectations. And, often it is easier to find a better job when you have a job.
