I found it online through craigslist. The title of the ad was something like starting at $20/hr. I think that would catch anyone's attention. The company is PhotoBin (check it out at www.photobin.com). They are a photo scanning company based here in San Diego, specifically Mira Mesa. I interviewed last Wednesday. There were 5 of us. Steve interviewed each of us just for a couple of minutes. Then he did a presentation on the company and what we'd be doing, to all of us as a group. He told us if we were still interested to e-mail him that night.
Of course, I e-mailed him. I was not only interested, I was SUPER interested. The more he talked about what they do and how they do it, it got me more excited. There was nothing that made me question or not like this position. Over the weekend while I was in Utah, Steve e-mailed me asking if I could come in for an interview on Monday at 3pm. The dilemma was that I wasn't going to be back in San Diego until Monday night. I talked to Stephanie about it, and we left Sunday for her grandma's house in Vegas. We stayed the night there so we could be home in time on Monday.
Monday I actually showed up late to my interview, which is SO not like me. I was mortified! I felt SO badly! Basically, if I would have played my cards right, I would have left my house early allowing time for me to be dumb and take the wrong freeway. Long story short, I took the 15 instead of the 805. Had I taken the 805 I would have been on time. Yeah, dumb. Despite that, Steve offered me a position. He said he was impressed with me. I was SO excited!
I walked out of the office and texted a bunch of people saying, I got the job. Then I came home and upgraded my texting plan from 500/mo. to unlimited in celebration of my sweet new job. And as a result, my dad now has unlimited texting too. (Pretty funny because he's never texted in his life.)
I train Thursday and Friday, and after training on Friday I can start. I wish I could start right now! I'm SO excited! Then we have advanced training next Monday, and then probably the following week (after Thanksgiving) we'll have our last day of advanced training.
You're all probably wondering what exactly it is that I'll be doing. So, I'll explain. I'm a sales rep, and so my job is simply off of a appointment and referral basis only. (Which is pretty exciting I don't have to go "tracting" - door to door.) I provide my own list of names or "referrals" to start out. Then I call those people and set up appointments. I get a base pay per appointment, and then I get commission on top of that. I'm way excited! One of my friends from the mission was like, so basically you're a missionary for PhotoBin. Haha! Yeah, kind of. Except we all know that missionary work is far more rewarding and important than any other job I'll ever have. Anyway...
So, now I'm Christina - sales rep for PhotoBin. :)
