Weird job oppurtunity

[Nocturnal]

I got a call from a staffing agency that I'm with. They called me in regards to a job where people call from all over the state. Basically they're calling in regards to "phone" service. They said I'll work out of a house that has a seperate area that has an "office." At first it seems as though it seems like one of those work from home things. She said I will have access to the internet and that I can use it whenever I want i.e. downtime.

The thing is, she said once that once I find out what the best deal may be for them i.e. how many minutes, free long distance, maybe a free phone etc, I would have to call them back. Then she said it's only inbound.

How does one kindly refuse an offer that they know they will not enjoy?

I worked already at a call center and quit due to the stress.

it's a staffing agency huh... that's tough because you want to deny this opp but have them continue looking for you. I can't say I've done this in the past (through the countless data entry jobs I've gotten through temp agencies)... but you can at least be honest. The worst thing they believe is if you take an assignment but don't finish it. That makes them look bad...

Tell them you had a bad experience in the past with handling calls... remember... they're working for you too.

Just be frank and tell them thank you, but that it doesn't sound like something you're interested in. Their job is to find you work, not force work upon you if it's not agreeable. I really don't think you need be concerned about it. They make money by placing you so they'll keep trying.

Sounds like all you have to say is "Thanks but no thanks" and then ask them if there is someone you should speak with about finding positions that better suit the kind of work your looking for. They may so no and simply continue searching for minial jobs for you but hey it's hard to find good help!

Are you paying this agency?
