| 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.

they have a 11-7am shift also...

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.

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.

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

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
