Devoted to WAHMs -Work at Home Moms

I was called by O'Currance yesterday and have an interview with them on Monday Sept. 11, 2006.

They found me through Utah Workforce Services.

Martha, have you found out any other interesting things about this company yet????

Snooks,

I never heard from them after the application process. Maybe it was because of the bogus SS#. Would you mind letting us know what you find out and if you get the job? Good luck!!

Marta

Marta,

Well todays the day for the interview.
I am presently working another job, outbound sales from the offices of the company I work for. I am not happy with this present job. I've only been there about 7 weeks.

My biggest concern is I haven't worked a lot of inbound, mostly outbound but have 8 years experience on the phone.

I will let you know how it goes. I'm sure there will be a waiting process to find out if I get the job. Working from home in a couple of months is very appealing. Thanks for the support!

Marta,

I wrote yesterday about O'Currance, but it didn't post. It said something about approval first. I don't remember this happening on this site when I posted before.

How long does it take when you post a comment for it to post on the site????

Thanks Marta,

snooks

p.s. I got the job at O'Currance!! :)

Snooks,

Must have been a glitch but I will find out if there is a delay. Congrats!!! Come back and tell us more soon.

Marta

I can't post. What the heck is going on here?

I think I've figured it out. Even though it says optional on name and email address, it only posts if I fill out these fields.

I'm flusted. I just lost a long post I wrote on O'Currance again!

Marta,

I haven't the time to re-write this minute. It took me about 10 minutes to update you on the company O'Currance. ARGH!

I will let you know later. Thanks for your patience. And let the blog owners know that they need to let the poster know that if they don't fill out the optional fields that their comments won't post.

Thanks

Snooks,

I just forwarded your message to our IT team so they can see what is up and get back to us.

So sorry!!!

Marta (you can email it to me if you'd like for now and I will post it for you)

Marta,

Just FYI >>>>>
I am now working at home for O'Currance.
The company has it problems as any company. But I have been able, so far, to earn as much as $14 plus an hour. I am working part-time...30 hours a week.

so this place works if you work!

snooks

Snooks,

That is awesome. Would you be willing to participate in a little interview? That is good money. Good luck!!

Yes, I am willing to participate in a
little interview. Let me know how and when! :)

Marta,

I decided not to do the interview you sent me. I resigned from O'Currance on the 3rd, this month. Too many company politics, suspected discrimination, and decided it wasn't worth the hassels to work for them any longer. You did worry if their advertising for a job with them was questionable...$40,000 to $50,000 a year. I would say for the most part your worry is well founded. It isn't easy as they change company policy on a continuing basis, and if anyone makes that much, I have not idea who it would be. Maybe back a long time ago in the past. And if anybody does now it is a small handfull and I would suspect it would be people who have already been there at least a couple of years. And started back when the company was perhaps in it's hayday. This company is now experiencing problems for sure with some of their clients, and I question their ethics and integrity.

After 4 months of working for them, and having to show them that I was qualified to work from home due to my sales when they kept telling me I wasn't. Then working from home for one month only to be told I had to come back onsite because I wasn't preforming as well after a brief run loaded with over a week of not loading my computer correctly with their software to constant harassment or micro-managing I decided that working from home under these conditions wasn't a benefit...it turned into a curse!

Oh well, onward and upward to new ventures.

snooks

Well I can understand your position. When integrity isn't present it makes it very difficult to work with any employer. Why don't you try AlpineAccess and see what you think. I am interviewing with them next week and I will tell you more than.

Marta

Hi Marta,

I applied for Alpine Access at least 6 months ago. I made it all the way to the last interview, by phone. After that they told me they decided I wasn't suited for the position.

One area I don't have a lot of experience in it working with 15 to 20 open windows at a time and I feel the lack of that experience hurt my odds of getting hired. I know that as far as my computer knowledge goes I did great but when she specifically asked me, "how many windows are you comfortable on working with at the same time?" I said, "oh, I don't know, maybe 4 to 8."

Wow. I find out later that you should be comfortable with up to 20 windows!

Good Luck with your interview process. A lot of customer service and exceptional sales experience on the phone is not as important as being able to joggle through a lot of windows. So if you have that experience as well you should do just fine.

Good Luck again!
