You Yesterday, 1:11 PM
I have worked from home before as a customer facing helpdesk technician, troubleshooting internet issues for individual customers for ISPs. Intention to contribute is anywhere from 4-6 hours daily. Experience for the helpdesk role is at least 2 years in a college setting, years of practical experience personally troubleshooting both computers an wifi networks, and 3 months and fully trained in the role in an extremely high call volume environment with ever shifting demands. No experience in auditing reports, or sorting and filing documentation. And experience in the helpdesk role of dealing with customers, often extremely upset ones have lead me to have amazing customer service skills as well as excellent skills in troubleshooting, explaining troubleshooting to others, solving issues, and documenting the issue down to the last detail. My favorite job was working in a 80 degree paint shop with 80% humidity loading parts, the strong intense heat became my favorite thing after a while.

• What means of payment do you prefer ? Direct deposit , Crypto, Check , Wire Transfer?
• What Bank Do you Operate with and how long have you been operating with it to see if it tallies with the company's official salary payment?
You Yesterday, 1:38 PM
I'm looking for good work-life balance, solid pay, and a good employment environment. You should hire me because I bring proven solid helpdesk experience, within just 3 months at my previous position I had already reached or was extremely close to the performance metrics of a tier 2 technician, and have great customer service skills dealing with all manner of customers due to high call volumes and a lot of upset customers. I don't have a printer installed, but can be acquired if absolutely necessary. Absolutely, I have had no prior issues with staff, and have overall found fellow technicians to be a joy to work alongside. My mobile network provider is AT&T, my internet service provider is through Sparklight. I would prefer to be payed weekly but bi-weekly is fine. Direct deposit works best. My bank is through First Midwest Bank, and I've been with this bank for 4 years or more.

• Have you ever had any experience working from home or online before?
• What do you understand by the word "Privacy and Code of conduct" in an open organization?
• What are your Strengths and Weaknesses and how do you think your strengths will be of great use to the company?
You Yesterday, 1:48 PM
Very much a team player, team work means doing something that benefits the whole team rather than just the individual, like picking up a call for a fellow team member, or taking your break at a specific time so other people can have their breaks at a specific time.
Highest education is an associates degree in information technology received in 2024
I'm extremely hard working and productive, I don't believe in wasting time nothing good ever comes from it
I expect to be employed for the foreseeable future
Not currently employed
I have had experience working from home
Privacy and Code of Conduct means what stays in the work environment stays in the work environment, no one wants to have their wifi password stolen or have important company information given to people outside of the company.
I believe that my biggest strength is my ability to troubleshoot and handle any customer in a calm and confident manner, I have no difficulty handling people or technical tasks, and given the role of helpdesk I feel that my biggest strength is simply being able to do the tasks assigned fast and efficiently. My biggest weakness is probably how hard I care for customers, nothing makes me more upset in a job helping customers when I can't help them.

• If hired, when would you be available to start?
• Are you open for a full time job or part time job?
• Finally, in one paragraph I need you to tell me why you should be hired? And also Provide 2 professional references with their numbers?!
You Yesterday, 2:03 PM
The only thing a company actually owes an employee is a wage for the hours worked, things like work-life balance and a good safe and stable environment are just extras for a job.
No credit cards, no other banks, I do operate with mobile banking. If hired I could start immediately, I would be open for a part time job.
I should be hired from what I bring to the table, a great attitude with a strong compassion for helping customers and resolving technical issues, and excellent customer service skills able to deal with the customers.

Once you receive the check, you are required to deposit it into your bank account using mobile deposit or ATM machine. The funds will be credited to your account immediately or within 24 hours for cash withdrawal. You will then use the funds to purchase your equipment from the company's certified vendor. All equipment will be labeled with the company name and logo, and you will be connected to the company's database. Do you understand?
You 8:50 PM
Understood
Josh Blair 8:51 PM
The reason why the Company is sending the funds for your Mini office equipment is due to the fact that the company wants this to stand as a test of trust and also we want to know how good you can handle funds placed in your trust or care. I hope we have %100 assurance in you?
You 8:57 PM
Absolutely, no issues with that

Do you have an Automated G1 Time Tracker?
You 9:30 PM
I do not
Josh Blair 9:41 PM
FUNCTION OF THE AUTOMATED G1 TIME TRACKER: The Automated Time Tracker will enable us to track the number of hours you spend daily during your training and working hours so you can be paid hourly. Without the Time Tracker, the company will not be able to calculate your training and working hour daily. You will need to obtain that to enable us track your working hours so you can be paid hourly.
You will need to obtain it from the company certified vendor that is the third party to the company so they can have it installed into the laptop and everything will be good to go .I will be providing you with the vendor info here and instructions on how you will be making payment for the order of your Automated Time Tracker.. Okay?
You 9:42 PM
Alright
Josh Blair 9:46 PM
The company does not have the Automated G1 Time Tracker software because we do not specialize on such equipment. The vendor does, the vendor is a retailer, he makes production complete by making the software's /Time Tracker available to the final consumers which are the employees.
The company certified vendor is the vendor all our employee has been buying from for years now and you will make the order from her to enable her install the Time Tracker and have it shipped overnight to you via USPS or FedEx. Is that clear?
You 9:52 PM
Ok
Josh Blair 10:14 PM
The company will provide you with all the necessary materials including a Apple Mac Laptop and a fast wireless internet connection which will be installed by the company local vendor we have been buying from and shipped to you via FedEx next day delivery except the time tracker software which of course we are not specialized on.. The cost of the time tracker is $250 and we will like you to purchase that ASAP as you have been considered by the company board. You will be needing the time tracker software to set up your mini office and start training briefing and orientation with your training supervisor. I believe you can make the payment now if i provide to you with the vendor info?
You 10:16 PM
Absolutely, unfortunately I'm about 50 dollars short of being able to purchase it. Is there anyway the company can help me purchase it in the meantime? More than happy to pay it back through the 150 bonus that comes later.
Josh Blair 10:17 PM
How much do you have with you?
You 10:19 PM
I have exactly 187
Josh Blair 10:21 PM
Can you make it to $200 and I would help you with the remaining $50
You 10:21 PM
Yeah absolutely, alright, what's the next steps then?
Josh Blair 10:22 PM
Do you have cashapp?
You 10:22 PM
Yep, cashapp would be under
Josh Blair 10:27 PM
Can you make the payment now via Cashapp of the 200 if I provide you with the vendor cashapp info?
You 10:28 PM
Yeah that's fine, how do I get the 50 from Telus to them?
Josh Blair 10:34 PM
I will take care of the $50 balance
Please hold on while I confirm the vendor CashApp tag. Okay
Josh Blair 10:56 PM
$Gobearsgo12
Josh Blair 10:58 PM (Edited)
You can go ahead and send the payment to the CashApp tag and the name on it is Mark Rossi.
Josh Blair 11:00 PM
