Cox is the same way, but the call waiting can be disabled by a code. Presume same is true of Comcast. (After a quick Google)... OK, apparently not Looks like you'll need to go the telco route.

----------



With Cox you can disable call waiting by dialing *38. Doesn't work with Comcast unfortunately.

You can disable Comcast call waiting with *70. I'm using Comcast for my current job.

I applied for the AHA position late August Early September and my interviews were back to back and after the second interview, like 2hrs late I got an email from Hireright for the BGC and Employment verification, but they couldn't verify my Employment records for whatever reason and wanted me to send in W2's or Stubs for verification but I didn't feel comfortable doing that but someone at apple called me and by-passed that process and like 2hrs later I got the offer call, then I immediately replied "I accept" then a few minutes later I got the tracking number for the paperwork(overnight delivery) and got an email to choose a time i would like to attend the "new hire paperwork session" and I start 11/26 by the way all this happened yesterday lol

Congratulations!

Congrats! I had a difficult time with HireRight also. But just like you, I think Apple took a closer look and then quickly thereafter I received a phone call with an offer. A few hours after that, I received the official email offer which I replied "I Accept" to. Today I should be receiving the paperwork via FedEx some time this morning. I sent you a friend request. When you get past 5 posts (minimum amount needed to unlock PM feature) drop me a PM if you like and we can talk more.

I have accepted your friend request. I have the same session tomorrow at 2:30pm also

This book is sold on Amazon, but also offered for free on the it-ebooks.info website. I just wanted to confirm if the free "downloadable" PDF version is the full book, or is it just a sample / missing some sections?

Its the full book...

 

[themayorr]

The ONLY thing I dont like about my offer is that they gave me the part-time position but I hear that there is lots of OT available anyone else feels this way?

 

[Citychic]

I don't mind waking up early. I guess that's what happens when you get a little older. I use to have a horrible time waking up a few years ago. For the last few months I tend to wake up on my own (without an alarm clock) between 5am to 7am and I usually get around 5 to 6 hours of sleep per day.

Not sure which training schedule I will be assigned to just yet. It's either M-F or T-S and I think the time is 9am to 6pm.

Im up every morning by 8am no matter what time I fall asleep.... Im not a morning person because I hate getting up that early oh why cant I sleep later lol

for me I really dont mind the PT with the option for FT because Im finishing up my BS degree online so I still need my time for me and family as well.

From what I was told as well as what is written in my official offer, it seems like it would be a good idea not to make any personal plans based on the assumption that you'll ONLY be working 20hrs a week. I'm estimating around 30 hours / week. Can anyone already working as a part-time At Home Advisor verify this?

You'll either work a part-time schedule of 20 or a full-time one of 40. In fact, at the end of training you will receive both schedules. As of now, no part-timers are working full-time. And, there are no extra hours available for pick up. This is the case for iOS. May be different for CPU.

I really hope to make a career out of this. Can't wait.

I will say, the new job I'm working right now has a great group of people in my department. Really going to miss them.

Anyone have an idea on training hours? I really hope they are day courses.

Core training takes 13 days. At least for the store. Could be more, could be less. All depends on your will to succeed.

Thanks for clarifying this. Just curious, how do I figure out if I am iOS or CPU? No one has mentioned this to me verbally and I don't have anything written that specifies which one I will be in, or even what these types are.

Me too

You got one more post to go before PM feature unlocks. You can do it!



Another quick question: I know that we get an unpaid lunch. Is that a 30 or 60 min lunch break? And also, do we get two 10 or 15 minute breaks too?

Also, how busy are you exactly? As soon as you hang up from one call does the phone instantly ring for the next? Sorry for bombing out a bunch of questions, I have one more: Can I still smoke and drink coffee in my office while I work?

No Smoking. (would you smoke in the office?)

2 15 min breaks.
30 min lunch .

LOL at that question

Hmmmm....curious about the lunch thing. We got an hour lunch during training. And the live schedule includes an hour lunch when working 8 hours.

Just got done with the New Hire Paperwork Session. I was informed that contrary to my understand, the 11/26 class is in fact IOS, not CPU. 9-6 M-F CST.

I would absolutely smoke in MY office. That's the luxury of this job. Considering no one will see you after training. Smoking I'm sure is permitted.

So do we get a IOS to play with?

 

[KLinPA]

Did you receive your paperwork this morning?




I received my paperwork Friday afternoon at 3pm not the promised 10:30am overnight usually is. However, this was after Sandy and most of my area was effected in some way.

 

[Stukenbroeker]

Yep, an iPod Touch during training. It does have to be returned though.

Do you think there are multiple 11/26 classes being held, or just a single big class?[/QUOTE]

She didn't mention anything about multiple classes. But for me to draw conclusions based on the limited info we've been given would imply I have an understanding of the Apple hiring process, which we have learned is vague and complex at best.

catbite777 didn't you mention asking and being told it was cpu? I'm hoping so.
