Interviewing Phones Temping UPS 
Laughing all the Way to Work
JUNE 7, 2008
I temped here and there for a year. Finally, I got a job interview through the temp agency for a one-year contract. It would be the longest contract I had been offered so I was anxious to do well in the interview. I interviewed first with the HR manager and did well. It was long hours and no thanks.

After interviewing Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh and seeing the company’s HQ outside of Las Vegas , I knew I wanted to learn more about the nuts and bolts and day-to-day operations of Zappos. And I started in the company as a temp worker in 2004. Rob: I am the director of the Zappos Customer Loyalty Team. There’s talk of history.

xo, Melissa I very recently made the decision to leave a role without another one lined up. Initially, I did receive a few responses, asking me to provide video-pre-screens [not my favorite thing to do, I'm discovering] or to participate in phone pre-screens, which I giddily did, with zero results. You are welcome!

If you’re afraid you’ll only be picking up dry cleaning all day, you can state what you are looking for by saying, “My background has been as an executive assistant, where 90% of my workload related to the office and 10% was personal business handling x, y, z.” This means when you show up for the interview you are courteous to everyone.

The higher up you go on the ladder of admin roles, the longer your job hunt will take. Even if you aren't that aggressive in marketing yourself while you have a job, it's likely that previous companies that interviewed you or HR people that you knew will remember you and keep you in their database. Your job hunt will take a lot longer.

First, what you have been up to recently that is exciting, fun or new, why and what sort of job you are looking for, and your contact information and an online link to your resume or a social media profile (more on this later). It is a way to catch up and keep the doors of communication open. And then share 3 things about yourself.

Recently, a temp worker at my job gave me another Google tip. Of course before I recommend anything I try it out so I picked up the phone and it asked me what I was looking for and what city and province.
