I´m new at this job. I don’t want to be a job seeker anymore. I want to
have a job and RECEIVE a salary every month. I need to pay for my
food, rent and taxes. I got this new job this month and It´s a really
simple job. I just need to ATTEND calls and SOLVE the clients´
problems. Also, everyone is very friendly to me. For example, my co-
workers help me when I need some help with a call. I RECEIVE
around 60 calls per day. I WORK 6 hours a/per day from Monday till
Friday. It´s a bit monotonous and sometimes clients can be a little
disrespectful. They insult me over the phone once in a while. I try to
stay positive because I need to PAY my bills! LOL.
LOL = laughing out loud

I work for a very respectful company. I´m very happy with my job. I
think I´m going to be a supervisor some day. I am one employee of
many here so I try to please my boss. My boss is a very intelligent
person. He has two degrees: he is a lawyer and an accountant. As
regards my job, I have so many responsibilities. I need to be very early
in the morning to monitor everything is working properly. Then, I do
other tasks my boss tells me to do. Sometimes, I need to talk to
customers or go to the office where the rest of the employees/ staff
are/is. I think I´m going to leave my job because I don’t receive my
salary on time. In fact, I am not really happy with my job.
