I have an interview today for Sitel. I was given a card of someone to call and did. When I told her the name of the company that I used to work for, she basically ushered me right into an interview. 
Along with FettsBabe, please pray for my interview going well!
<update>
Well, the first "round" seemed only to be tests. Customer service tests, personality tests, technical tests, grammar tests, spelling tests, typing tests, the whole lot. I passed those with flying colors and was told that I would wait until the end of the month if the recruiters liked what they saw. If not, I'd get a denial letter in about 1.5 weeks. Well, last night I got a phone call and was offered an interview Thursday at 13:30! WOOHOO! I'll go for the interview, but this means that I have to start dressing up on a regular basis. This is a dress-casual place. :frown: Oh well. Dress slacks and a solid color t-shirt... think that's dress-casual? I have no idea what dress casual means
<update #2>
I wore dress slacks, a solid color t-shirt, and a fleece. I have nice-looking black slip ons that don't exactly look like tennis shoes or basketball shoes, but that's all I have. Turns out the interviewer went to the same private school I did. Score. We had a great time. She took me around the call floor at the end of the interview, and :Q:Q:Q I'VE NEVER SEEN A CALL FLOOR SO OPEN, LIT, OR LITERALLY ANTI-DEPRESSING BEFORE! Lots of color! Lots of space! Lots of light! Remembering what my previous employer was like, this was night-and-day!!
I'll know by Tuesday whether I get the job or not. There are three teams hiring, and one of them requires a background and credit check to get onto. That's the one I said I would prefer to be on, but if for some reason my credit doesn't check out (because I know my background check will), she'll try for the other two teams in my requested order. Her boss has to go over the interview and give the final yay/nay, so I might get a call today, Saturday, Monday, and if not then, I should get a call definitely by Tuesday.
/me crosses my fingers
I've made it this far, that would suck to get shot down at the last minute.
<UBAR UPDATE>
I got the job!
WOOHOO!!!!
Employment again! I have rent enough for February, so it doesn't matter when my first check comes in. Depending on which team I get on dictates when I start. If I get on the team I want, I start this Tuesday. If I get on my second choice, I start this Monday. They're going to run a background and credit check before letting me onto the team I want. If that doesn't work out (credit is my only worry), then I get put on the second team. I'm so excited! I can't wait to get inside and see what this place is like. Oh, and the client is actually on site. No more emailing the client to see WTF's going on. We can just walk over to the GM rep and ask him. They pay will be nice, too. For the first week, through training, I'll be making $.20 less per hour than I was making at the HellHole, but when I get out on the call floor on my own, I'll be making $.80 more per hour than I was back there.
Y E S !
I made it.
