Anestty 0 Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 I got the job through a recruitment firm - Its full time, nice office, by the river etc.. Theres no training, I have done the job in Australia and other countries, but theres always a crappy "Induction" phase. In my experience it's usually an eye glazed over type affair. Lots of yawns. But meh.. they don't go for too long and you get paid. The job is to analyze data from service and help desks looking for trends and, solutions. As for the benefits, I'm going to wait until I read the formal offer of employment that will come in the mail after the weekend. But I'm really happy cause I feel like I'm being paid what I'm worth for a change Um, I don't get the canary thing. rofl Link to comment
fRACTAL 0 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 A canary in a coal mine.. (it means dangerous) You see, they used to use canaries to check for dangerous gas, if the canary died, you ran if it didn't your safe ~Doom Link to comment

Borg 0 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Drinks in the bar for everyone! Is that drinks for the guys and diamonds for the girls? *lol* congrats on your new job Link to comment
Ike 1 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hmmm, they are giving you access to all of their data . . . but you have not yet actually accepted the offer . . . so is there still time to sell their stock short . . . Excellent news. Any job where A) you have your own office, B) with a window, C) with benefits, and D) you get paid what you think you are worth is AWESOME! Congrats, drinks are on you!
