I meet her requirements, and the pay rate is definitely not bad. But Ive never called yahoo before and have no idea how the whole thing works. I have called microsof though - so dont know if its similar.
Bunch of questions - if you could please answer for me:
- Is this job - possible a dead end type job. I want a job and am willing to do it but I kinda needs to know what I need to be prepared for.
- Will I be on the phone the whole time.
- Will this look good, if I were to put it in a resume
- I can learn the stuff rather fast - what i dont know like procedures and all. So that shouldn't be that big of a deal
- Is this job, specifically better than, say any helpdesk job. I like to keep it more within the company.
- Im going to pass my CCNA soon (within 1 month) - so should I go with this or
- If I am to "personalize" my resume for this particular position, is there something u guys recommending putting more than the usual stuff.
Please post any thoughts/comments/questions here. Im pretty young and no one I know has any possible answers to this kinda questions. I know it pretty much describes - but i wanna get the word of mouth Jist. Thats most important to me. Thank you guys so much, I have no idea what I would do without you

First,
If the job lasts until 10/15/2008 that is definately longer than 3 months as it states
She didn't greet you by name, thus she is probably sending this out to 100 or more people.
Do you have your resume on a web site??
It sounds like its a helpdesk type job that deals with people having problems with their e-mail accounts at yahoo.
If you would like to do this type of thing, go for it.
If you read it closely you will notice that she says "IF, you are chosen, you will be contacted by phone or email" or something to this affect. Again she probably sent this out to many people hoping to get a resume back that will fit yahoo's requirments.
I would look up this company first on a search engine to find out something about it.
Do what you feel is best for you but I wouldnt get my hopes up too high.
Good luck
