There are so many call centers hiring now though
Almost all sales. They pay mostly comission or all comission. Being able to pay or not being able to pay my rent cannot be determined by making sales. It is MAJORLY stressful! WAY more then people screaming at me all day! My last sales job was Hilton Grand Vacations, which was in Orlando, I stayed a month. I couldn't do it. My anxiety today, which is a ton more, would likely cause me to go postal or something.
Incoming only Tech support or customer service (no sales, no comission, actual customer service) jobs are very few here. Think of companies. Spectrum. They have 2. Apple Care is a work at home. Sprint is out, was my last unemployment. Utility companies are also usually out.
Went to 3 in 2011 and every single one of them were sales call centers or sales in general. Will go to others but most are a waste of time in my experience.

Call centers are always hiring! It's the biggest thing with this type of work. Super high churn!
Regarding login ID's and such, go to the Career Source center and ask them to tell you about their programs, how unemployment works, and to help you with logins. Anything related to unemployment and then getting your re-employed is their area of expertise. Along with case management for social services and career counseling. They might even be able to give you advice on COBRA as most folks who lose their jobs will be dealing with this issue.
They give you a week from when you lost your job to file. I got the sucessful message and I thought an email but I just looked and never got one so if I cant file until, the week was up yestetday so it would be too late anyway.
Have you called UHC to see if you are active with them?
No cause the seperation papers state that my insurence/group plan ends the last day of the month of seperation. So the last day of April. My therapist only charged me a copay but its cause they send it through and it then comes back as unapproved but that takes a bit. Cobra is retroactive but I have to have the money to pay out to Drs first. Its why i didnt show up at the sleep specicalist as its a Neurologist and they want money, full money, before seeing the Dr. Been there done that. Specialists usually do.
If you are, then use that card. It seems to me that I used the same card for COBRA, but then again maybe the group number changed.
No, its the exact same plan but you are paying full price +2%. So it is the exact same card (or how every other Cobra worked) but at the moment its useless as I am not covered at the moment.
There is to be no lapse in coverage between what you had as an employee and have as a COBRA participant through UHC. That's the law.
No, there is. It is "covered" because Cobra is retroactive however you must have full payment for Drs until then. Any of the ones that dont put it through to allow it to bounce back later anyway. And if later is before Cobra starts then you owe that. Cobra pays you back but in the moment you have to pay it.
Cobra also does not start until so many days from when they get their first payment. So there is a lapse there. Whether it be from when you pay them or the wait between payment & start. There is a lapse there either way.
Payment for COBRA has a grace period so I hope you aren't sweating that. I think it's a month.
40 days. I believe without looking. And no sweat, I have the payment. I just need the darn forms.
Take care and hang in there. Do use the resources available to you through the State. They seem to be most caring and helpful.
Will do! Thanks for all the info!
Like for example, the last time I saw him, he was talking about how I skipped school in high school and how my sister was never like that.
Sibling compare. My dad does that A LOT! My brother (the only son of 6) is the golden child.
Basically, you have to live your own life and stop worrying about what your father thinks or what your step mother says. You're an adult. You are capable, You can make it on your own. PTSD may be a challenge but it's not a road block
Its not the PTSD, though a road block, not a big enough one to block me. Comparmentalizing usually works for that. It is the chronic pain and back living in a super low wage and super high price of living state where, in the industry that I have worked all my life, the higher in wage is normally $10 an hour and just my rent for an 850 sq ft apartment is $876 a month. Do the math. And I am no longer able to work 2 jobs let alone 3 jobs like I used to. My therapist is here. A sticky subject as I was forced into therapy, took me a year to even tell him why I was there, 2 more years to get the the past out of me, 8 years total and I am not starting over with a new therapist. If I loose my therapist I know me. I won't get another. It is the only reason I am still in this area. My dad came up to KS to get me as I was going to be homeless after my accident in '09. Thus started my depending on daddy for help. I have no issue cutting that cord but I do have issue making it here on my own. Thus my therapist's talk of certifications so that I can be more independant inside of an industry I adore (and know a great deal but have nothing to back what I know), IT. Until then I will find a way. But that is the only reason my dad still lives here. I need his rent money. Sad and probably cold but true nonetheless.
