I, for one, think that every call saves someone's day. May not be accurate, but it sure makes me feel better about the job

I never really feel like I'm doing anything too crazy, but people sometimes thank me like I just saved their lives so I suppose sometimes I am the hero in their eyes

No, I'm the villain who reminds them that our policies don't allow them to return whatever they want when the warranty period has expired 😈

Yes, but it's more to do with the customer than their actual request. Sometimes people are super grateful that I set something aside for them so that they can talk it over with their friend and come back, but aren't sure they want to buy it.

Hmm, no, not really... maybe I should apply at Wells Fargo, that sounds awesome

Correct. Some wear name badges, or lanyards. LOL

Hi Google - I am requesting guidance!

I am prepping for my interview specifically GCA and open ended questions. I struggle to tell if the outcome should be talking through your process/steps (maybe for a question like - how would you go about determining program complexity) vs a specific solution such as create x new product, for x market by x date based on my assumptions. Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?

Can I still work as a telemarketer even though I have a noticeable accent? People don't say they can't understand me but they seem relieved when they get to talk to somebody else. My boss acts like I'm not very good at the job and I think it's because some customers think I am an "outsider," for lack of a better term. I just want to fit in.

I grew up with a lot of social anxiety so I can't really believe I'm saying this, but my favorite thing about working at a store is that I have to talk to people every day.
