Pros:
1. It was 1 bus to get to.
2. The pay was $13.60/hr. There were bonuses.
3. The hrs were good. You can work from 9am-1pm, there are afternoon and evening shifts.
4. I can do the job because it's a call centre.
Cons:
1. The mild con was that it was like that Lawn Company phone interview. The guy on the phone there said it was calling people to set up appointments like this job is.
When I was talking to the Lawn Company, I know the job was not going to go very well. I didn't go to the interview because it was 2 buses to get there.
I went to the Home Furnace place because it was 1 bus to get there.
2. The major con was the office was dreary and run down. The fluorescent lights were dim. I like feng shui and interior design. However, you don't have to be interested in those things for you to feel this place was dreary.
I don't care if the office is not nice and modern. This is a call centre and it's not open to the public. If it's a doctor or dentist's office, it has to be nice. I have worked at lots of call centres and they can be very plain.
I would say: This office was a dump.
3. Some of you would say this is a mild or major con: The boss said: "I've been here for a long time and I see your attitude is not a right fit."
Mild: Well it's his opinion and perspective. This is one person's opinion of you at one job.
Major: He did not give you a real good chance so you can show and prove yourself.
My opinion: I would work there to give it a shot. You never know until you try.
It's not like I'm really missing out on a good job opportunity.
Jul. 31, 2018 Tech call centre rep: I did an interview a few weeks ago.
Pros:
1. It was close by like 1 bus.
2. The hours are good like 7am-9pm.
3. It was $14/hr. There is a bonus and commission where you sell equipment. It's mainly tech support of "troubleshooting and repairing devices and alarm systems." It is setting appointments.
There is billing and open and cancel accounts.
4. The office is nice and modern.
Cons: None.
My opinion: I would work there if I got hired. I really saw myself and told them I was a fit because of my Office Job in 2013 where I did similar duties. I also worked at call centres where I call people to do surveys so that added to my experience.
I later called them and emailed them if they had made a decision yet. They didn't call back.
Cleaning Company call centre: I did this interview a couple of weeks ago.
Pros:
1. It was 2 buses to get to, and one of them was a bus that didn't come often.
2. The hours are good like 8:30am-5pm.
3. The duties are a call centre and it's where I call companies to set appointments for the cleaning company sales reps to come and give a quote.
3. The pay was fine with a commission: 5% of total amount of billing.
4. The office is nice and modern.
Cons: None.
My opinion: I would work there if I got hired.
Aug. 1, 2018 Phone sales rep: I then went to this interview in the afternoon after the above one.
Pros:
1. It was 2 buses to get to. It was in the west end.
2. The pay was $15/hr. There is commission of selling ad space on websites.
The first 3 days is training. It's 1 hr a day so 3hrs in total. It's 100% commission.
3. They also donate to charity. A business buys an ad, and 60 meals go to the Food Bank.
Cons: None.
My opinion: I didn't really want to work here. I already worked 1 day at the Phone Sales Rep job in Jan. and it was 100% commission. I already worked 2 days at Telemarketer #3 and was dismissed for not selling anything.
Greek restaurant:
Pros:
1. It was easy to get to, 1 bus.
2. The hours are full-time and daytime.
3. The thing is $200 in sales, and 2% of it goes to the kitchen. On average $50 tips.
4. I can do the job of serving, cleaning, and prepping for nights.
Cons:
1. I would be working alone. I am the only server, though there will be 2 cooks in the back.
My opinion: I would work there at least to try it out.
Aug. 20, 2018 Arise: I was looking for a job on Kijiji and found this work-from-home company.
https://www.ariseworkfromhome.com/costs/
I looked at the Glass Door reviews and you have to pay for training. That is the con that appears the most.

My week:
Aug. 30, 2018 Adjust and adapt to schedule:
On Tues. Aug. 28, 2018, there was supposed to be a social event, but then it got cancelled. It was planned 2 weeks ago and that one was cancelled too.
That afternoon, I got a text to come to work on Wed. night. I agreed to it.
On Wed. Aug. 29, 2018: I got a text that I didn't have to come to work that night.
On Thurs. Aug. 30, 2018: I turned on the computer and the internet and computer weren't working. I then went on my old computer to do a bit of my job search.
Now it's working.
I got a text from my 2nd restaurant job to come to work tomorrow. I agreed to work.
TV shows I watch and when they'll be on:
1. Arrow- Oct. 15
2. Blindspot- Oct.12
3. Criminal Minds Oct. 3
4. Riverdale Oct. 10
5. This is Us- Sept. 25
I'm getting excited about new TV shows this fall:
The Purge: This TV show comes out Sept. 4. I have never seen the movies, though I want to check out one. I'll check out this pilot.
