Part-time work going in my kip. Boring job.

seamus

Our place are looking for part-timers. 6 hour shifts between 4pm-12am on weekdays and 8 or 6 hours shifts between 8am and 12am on weekends. It's a student job really.

It's a callcentre job. You answer calls. Each call lasts about 16 seconds, and it's not very difficult. It's not telemarketing or customer support. It's very boring, but if there are no calls to be answered, then you sit on your ass and surf the web or watch TV (when the SV has gone home of course) or study or whatever , Which is why most people leave after about 4 months.

While you'll technically be an employee of Vodafone, you won't actually have anything to do with mobiles, but will still get all the fringe benefits that Vodafone like to shower on their employees periodically (actually just small, branded tokens really )

Area: Donnybrook

Starting pay: €7.50p/h increasing to €8.30 after 6 months.

No skills required. As long as you have moderately comprehensible English and can type reasonably fast (> 20 words p/m) but they'll hire you even if you can't

PM me for any more details or to give me a CV or whatever

I have teh minimum wage skillz!

commited

Are there a minimum/maximum amount of hours per week?
Is it brutally boring?

Turner

He can send in his CV saying he's looking for full time work. They like to give people full time hours, but put them down as a part-time employee. It makes them cheaper to employ, and gives you liability after normal working hours.......

Are you actually an employee of Vodafone, or do you work for a recruitment company such as Rigney Dolphin. Also, what queries do you actually deal with?

irishguy

not interested in the job but i work in a callcenter [selling stuff to dumb americans, what a crap job] what do you do, as it only takes 16secs a call ? or did you just mean the call are very short?

rander00

Yeah, what do u do in 16secs, just transfer custs to diffferent departments or something.
Or just say hello andd goodbye.

LoLth

directory enquiries perhaps?

Ugh. Dragging up old posts......

Right let's deal with one thing at a time.

Are you actually an employee of Vodafone, or do you work for a recruitment company such as Rigney Dolphin. Also, what queries do you actually deal with?

Yes, officially I'm a Vodafone employee. Our company was aquired in the buyout of eircell, but is really just a hanger-on that Vodafone probably don't want. We don't deal with any queries really, just answer the call, take a message, drop the call. Most people (just like you ) in Mountainview have never heard of us. But I still get to use a free gym, and all the other things I have coming to me as a Vodafone employee

not interested in the job but i work in a callcenter [selling stuff to dumb americans, what a crap job] what do you do, as it only takes 16secs a call ? or did you just mean the call are very short?

Yah calls are very short. It's extremely rare for a call to go over 45 seconds. As I said, answer the call, take a message, drop the call.

Are they still looking for people?

*shrug*. I posted this 5 months ago. Anyway, all recruiting has been handed over to Rigney Dolphin, so we can't take in CVs directly anymore.
