I’ll be leaving my job of almost 12 years next month. It’s not because I’m dissatisfied, but we are moving five hours north. But there have been times in the last twelve years I’ve thought about another job, I’m sure I’m not the only one to do this.
I wish I would have found out about Global Response earlier. I think I would have at least gone on an interview. They have customer service call centers that work with many wonderful companies like, Crate & Barrel, National Geographic, Blue Cross Blue Shield and JC Penny, just to name a few.
What is a call center? When you call a company, like your insurance company, you get put through to a call center. Things can happen fast at a call center, there lots of employees answering the phones at the same time. When I make calls to insurance companies I can sometimes hear others in the background. Everyone is usually very polite.
I was checking out Global Response and see they offer good benefits and on-site child-care. This would be a HUGE benefit for me. My daughter is only a few minutes away from me now, but to have her on site would be awesome! They have a 401k, which I would love to have had at my current job. Health and dental benefits are offered, as well as vacation, sick and personal time. They have picnics, team spirit days and it sounds like they really care about their employees. Check this out- after 20 years, you get a trip for two anywhere in the world.
Maybe I should re-think my move! Just kidding…
Their main headquarters are located in South Florida, and they have two smaller call centers in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. If you’ve ever thought about customer service careers and live in these areas, check them out!
After our move, I am hoping to take some time off working outside the home and really focus on my blog. Savannah will be going to pre-kindergarten in August, so I may get a part time job then. Maybe there is something similar in Jacksonville.
Finding a job is always not fun LOL.
I’ve never heard of them. Sounds great for people who want to work from home.
That is a good resource to start with, there are a lot of options out there!
Good post!
What a great opportunity, especially in this economy!
Finding a job is so hard. That’s a great opportunity!
This sounds like a great job opportunity!
I agree. Sounds great.
I have a large list of these types of companies if anyone would like to know them.
Good luck with the move. I often wonder how those who work in call centers are able to be so nice to customers who are not so nice.
That’s an awesome opportunity, especially in today’s job market!
Seeing that I’ve recently started a new job. And a huge change is/has come my hubby’s way… well, I have to say that I don’t handle change well, though. 🙂
Good luck with your move – it’s always tough relocating.
This sounds like an awesome opportunity!
So no fun finding a job. Good luck!
Good luck to you!
