o/t- Attention:anyone in HR pre screen phone interview
Last Monday I submitted my resume and cover letter to a company looking for a CS Rep...didnt think I would hear from them at all. Anyways, on friday I noticed they called my cell, I call them back and I get pre screened...
Was not expecting that at all. My concern is, some of the answers I fucked up on, like they were simple questions, I was just dumbfounded and sounded totally stupid! Even though Ive been in the logistics industry for almost 7 years, you would think I would have moved up the corporate latter, some how or at least have a GOOD answer.
Instead, due to confidence issues and the like, I have descended and am a receptionist, have been for a year now.
We recently moved and our rent is a lot more, but the place is a hell of a lot nicer...
Anyways, for those that have had pre screened phone interviews, what are some of the phrasings they use that are indicators you wont be getting a job interview?
I fucking hate my job, I like it because there is a lot of autonomy to screw around on the internet, but I am really bored and cant afford to go back to school on a full time basis. Living with SO means I have to do school p/t, so I am a little resentful, but I do love him! If that makes any sense!

***As a sidenote, I have
***As a sidenote, I have applied for positions within my company, however I have been told that no one typically gets promoted within. I applied for a CS position within the company, they told me they would interview me. Never happened. When I first started here, they wanted me to go into payroll, I made the mistake of self deprecating by saying I am lousy in math. They said they would show me, the position. Again, that never happened and hired someone else where.
So instead of complaining sorry I am here, I am trying to do.
Mother offers very little condolences and gives the advice of, "Well you knew what you were getting into," sort of advice.
SO is usually busy and I dont want to burden him with my frustrations, he says he understands but I dont think he gets the sacrifices Ive had to make!
He uses my car to go to client sites, he sold his because it was literally falling apart, so i am stuck at my desk MOST days, on lunch, on breaks. I had to stop going to school full time and am now doing it part time because I am living with him and we cant afford it the other way around!
I feel like I am wasting my time being a receptionist and I think I should be going to school full time. I could take a loan out, then SO says we need to pay our bills etc...
