GoDaddy Job Fair - Anyone work for GoDaddy?

GoDaddy is having a job fair here in Phoenix and I was thinking about going down and applying. They are looking for sales and tech support according to the radio ad.

Anybody work there? I am curious what they are like to work for.

Thanks,
David

Based on some of the GD people I have spoken to the phone, you shouldn't have a problem getting a job there if you can speak English. Some of the people I have spoken with have little to no knowledge about domains, hosting, etc.

Best of luck with your job search.

Are there employee discounts?

 

[SoapTaco]

I sure hope so. I am wondering if I should keep the fact that all my domains are registered at Namecheap to myself

I'd imagine their employee contracts will have tons of do's and don'ts. So if
you're still going to engage in personal domain name-related activities, don't
use their computers at work.

Very amusing. I have noticed a similar thing.

Good call, I am sure they will too. I suppose that I will just have to do actual work.

I would keep the fact that you are a domainer to yourself and keep that under tight lock-and-key.

Just act like you are a fast learner and a great employee

If you want to work for them, they have better options avail than phone tech support...

Just FYI.

Well, yeah, of course they have "better" positions available than tech support. but you have to qualify for them . On the other hand, anyone can be a tech support/customer support person. That is obvious.

Perhaps there's a position for you as a mod at NP.

Frankly, If you can speak English and type English, you can be a tech. support.

Most of their replies are template replies As far as I can get from them..

Yes, tech support usually only require that you can follow a flow chart unless you are in tier2 or senior level support (which I doubt GD has). That's why so much of it is outsourced out of the country. Well, that and labor costs.

 

[SoapTaco]

I think I am going to push towards sales instead of tech support. I don't know if I have the patience for tech suport. I can only imagine the sorts of calls they get for support.

 

[EbookLover]

I understnd you reasoning especially with how anal GD is with things like spam and such, but I'm not too sure that CS will require any less patience than TS.

 

[SoapTaco]

Yeah, I tthink I am going to scrap the whole GoDaddy job fair idea. It will most likely suck to work there, and I deal with domains and sites enough already
