Shaw Cable
 

i've been trying to get a job at shaw, but i am currently a full time student, so im looking for a part time position. the problem lies within shaw, all their part time listings requires u to be "full time" available. wtf?

has anyone successfully gotten hired WHILE attending school and ofcourse with them fully knowing u are still attending school? cause it seems like they dont hire anyone that isnt available 24/7.

i also think there is a mandatory one month training period, which you have to go m-f, and that would interfere with school.

sounds like you are applying for call center, csr?

if you are not able to attend their full training period, then there is almost no chance they'll consider you regardless of your qualifications.

If you miss a day or something during training, that can be worked out, but you gotta be there for the majority of the time.

yes im trying to apply for part time csr/tsr/bi-ling csr/bi-ling tsr
they never said anything about training when they called me to ask question.
they just said we cannot hire u because ur still in school,
and we need people that are "full time" available.

just curious wut's their starting pay for csr? biling premium?

i worked thr a while back. i did 6-2am shift. if u do late shifts like that, they will bend over backwards, as not many people wanna work that late. i liked it actually cause after 11, the call volumes dies out, u get paid more, and get to talk to weird people , who have nothing better to do than to ask for credit and are lonely and just wanna talk.
they have a 11-7am shift also...

That sounds cool. How would you apply for a job like that?

wait you can just ask for credit whenever?

sure you can.. asking.. and GETTING are two different things..

this guy called once, complaining, that the guide on shaw said some tennis match, but the program showing was something else, and he wants a credit. so i said ok. lets work it out.
u have 60 channels and u are paying around 40 a month. so 60 / 40 is $1.50. i can give u $1.50 credit for that channel for that day.

haha he said he wants a week worth of free cable. told him to f off.

actually i was applying specifically for bilingual(chinese) csr, which is 7am - 7pm i think so no late night shifts.

starting pay for csr i heard was arnd 14-16, forgot the exact figures. but definitely no $10/hr pay.

You gave him too much. By my calculations he should've only received $0.02 for the 1 day credit for the 1 channel.

yeh i think that was it, it was 2 years back... anyhow when i said the amount to the guy, he got pissed.


i thought its around $17 and hour for shaw. ..its been 2 years ,so maybe i dont remember ..but quite sure its awas 17. i had 3 jobs at the time ,1 FT, 2 PT..:D

Where is the Shaw call center?

metrotown, the shaw towers

No, the call center is located downtown in the Shaw tower. Right across the street from the convention centre. I used to work there as a TSR.

That^

does the metrotown location still exist?

i thought themetro one moved

What's the starting pay for TSR? Does PT/FT differ much in terms of pay and the job itself?

how does one apply for CSR position at shaw? and what are teh chances - i dont think its like any other call center.

1067 west cordova street

nope

i think it's $17.70 + commission

you get the same benefits with part/full time. it's just with full time, you get paid for sicks days

i believe it's $15.90 + commission

you can apply online http://www.shaw.ca/en-ca/AboutShaw/Careers/

I've heard that PT positions actually get almost as many hours as FT, is that true?

Is it easy to promote Shaw products and earn commission? What's the rate like with commission on average?

for technical support, usually what happens is each month shaw will give you the option to either work 32 or 40 hours a week. with full time, you're just guaranteed 40 hours a week

generally with shaw products, they come with the first month free which is an easy selling feature

the commission varies from what you're able to sell. it can range from $1-$30 i believe on a sale
