I had an interview for another job today, this one was quite a bit better then calltech that i recently applied at. They offer onsite tech support for major clients, using dell computers and laptops. The job does require a lot of travel within the state, pretty much within an hour and a half one way from where I live, maximum.
They offer good pay, good benefits(for the most part), and .37 cents a mile for reimbursment, is that a fair amount? It sounds good to me, but i wasn't sure what standard mileage reimbursment was.
According to them its a part time job, working 9-4 with mandatory overtime. So its possible I could be working 10 hours a day sometimes, and putting god only knows how many miles on my car in a day. They basically pay for me to take all the dell certifications, and pretty much as long as its online, or CD, or basically non classroom based, they will pay for me to pursue any other certs I want, within the IT realm. They offer better tuition reimbursement then UPS, but only for full timers. I could always wait to go back to school. They also said they have a deal with The University of Phoeinx(which i hear mixed things about)for discounted tuition.
So basically, good pay, okay benefits, lots of travel, with milage reimbusment. It sounds good, but the guy said the learning curve is steep and I may have to put in some of my own time to learn everything I need to know. I don't have any actual job experience in tech support. He said he wouldn't not hire me because of that, but he said it will be tough work to learn what I need to know, and keep up with all the certs.
Its sounds good and everything, but its a lot of travel, possible long hours, and it would mean putting off school a while longer. Still debating about it. Although have to send in my stuff to get my background check done before I can even be offered a job.
So is .37 cents good for mileage reimbursment?
And would you use your personal vehicle for traveling for your job?
