Okay guys and gals, I have a second interview coming up!

[Digit]

33. Update

I finally found the place...evidently they don't use street signs much around there....but I was still 15 minutes early for my interview.
I wore a nice simple black dress and short heels which are tricky with my knee but I managed. At least now I know I can wear heels again if only for a short time....
I cleaned up nice. LOL

The interviewer was quite pleasant and asked many of those questions such as what 5 adjectives would people use to describe me, or what criticisms would employers give me.

What first dismayed me was learning that this was a call center when the staffing agency had told me it was not and I had asked this up front. Then I was informed the major emphasis will be on collection for indebtedness when I thought that was only PART of the job description. Also the way the collections portion was presented initially was that I would be helping customers to get on a payment plan. It is depressing because I feel badly for people who are hurting either physically, emotionally, financially or whatever the case may be. I was also informed customers would be often be upset (ya think?).
So, doing this in a call center environment when you are being measured by how many calls you take or make to people in distress is not quite my idea of an ideal job.

I fear I will come home each evening worrying and feeling sad about the people I have spoken with earlier in the day.
If there was a job paying $20/hr doing collections and a $12/hr doing something that was actually helping someone, I would take the $12/hr job. I think most ASAH'ers understand where I am coming from.

The interviewer probably could read my facial expressions. She said she was still interviewing and usually that is not a good sign from my experience anyway.

I am frankly disappointed.

Count it as a dress rehearsal and move on? I am not sure what to report to the staffing agency just yet. Maybe I should keep my mouth shut.

I desperately need another job. If it was offered to me, I don't know if I have a choice. Of course I would be looking for something else not as depressing.

I wish I had better news, but it is what it is.
