Job Offer I Got Today
So I have been going to school for computers for the past 2 years, about 1 year of school left. I am A+ and Windows 7 certified. I have been searching for a job for the past few months and haven't had much luck until today.
I am not sure if I like the job description because it sounds like I will be on the phone a lot. SEE job description below
Good points about the job is they want a 1 year contract, want to mold/mentor new techs, so they are committed to the long term which is good. They also said on the phone that I am a 100% match for they type of employe they are looking for, so I am pretty much a shoe in.
I am not sure on pay or hours yet, I still have to interview for the job.
What is your opinion about the job??? I will most likely take it, as long as the pay is at around 40K a year.
