robotech_masterOf all things, I had another job call today. Woman wanted to know if I had any previous helpdesk experience, as the job she had required six months in a call center. I had to be honest and say I didn't, and so she couldn't use me. That was at the time. Now I think I should probably have tried to B.S. her somehow. I mean, it's such a piddly requirement. Six months? That's hardly any time at all. Shouldn't my seven years of college education count for something?
The irony is that there's probably not any way I could get the kind of experience she wanted me to have. I mean, for hiring basic level helpdesk staff, they probably hire local kids where they are...kids in college, or out of college but living in their city. I'm in Springfield, I don't think anybody's going to hire me for beginning support--certainly nobody that far away, when there are unskilled laborers close at hand.
Sigh. The grind continues.
