A day in the life of a Customer Service Representative Trainee!

I didn't mention this sooner and really should have. I actually got a job last Friday and even though the pay isn't great, it's a start, as my mother and a few friends of mine have said to me.

The job is a customer service representative for Setanta Sports as part of the Teleperformance company. In other words, its just a call center job you can say where I will receive calls from people interested in subscribing to the Setanta Sports channel, register them and also to deal with enquiries that people will have. Today was my first day there and it was pretty boring (first two weeks are training hence the blog title) where we just went through the corporate induction (going through Health & Safety, data protection act, various policies etc) with a female trainer, who was an American living here now, which was pretty cool. There was about 15-20 of us there and I think the majority of them were bored to death also but hey, it was more interesting than some of the mind-numbingly boring lectures I had during my college/university years where people literally fell asleep. All of us get the channels apart of the Setanta Sports package for free now and that made my brother happy when I told him the news (he loves his football).

I am sure tomorrow will be more interesting and not sure what it will have in store but I hopeful it will be better than today. Since I have this job, it means less gaming and will only be mainly gaming of course during the weekend now perhaps. Its my birthday next week and it will be the first time since 2004 I will be working during, which kind of sucks but at least I will have GTA IV to look forward to when I get home. :)

I will do a Darro's Dominion this weekend talking about my first week amongst other things. There probably won't be another blog until then since I just wanted to talk about this to anyone who didn't know.

Toodles.
