Anyone work for Borders?

I worked at Borders for a summer job and it was great - I would definitely recommend them as a company.  At the store I was at they tried to break up the day, so you're never anywhere more than a couple hours (register, reference/customer service, in back).  If you were in music or the cafe you only did that for part of the day, too.\n\nI was hired right when the store was opened, so I got to meet a lot of the corporate people and they were all very normal (a lot of people who go into those jobs started out in the stores and worked their way up).  \n\nThe only problem I had was that the employee discount was too good so I spent too much in the store (although full-time employees can borrow books).

My good friend has been in the border patrol for quite a few years and he genuinally likes it. Good pay and such. He was in the military before that, as well. I do know that you need to know spanish in order to get in, so if you do not speak it, you need to brush up on it.

Have you ever had a job like that before? What experience do you have? How do you deal with unruly customers? How do you handle complaints?

I have a friend that works for Frontier Airlines and loves it. Small and friendly company with lots of opportunities to advance w/in the company. \nFor the most part it is difficult to break into the industry as flights are being cut back year by year. You would be lucky to get into any one of them and then once you get some experience you can switch.\nGood luck

Sounds great! I wish you luck. I was thinking on similar lines myself. You think these contractors would take in former non-US army personnel? Send me details if you come across any please.

I can't speak for Borders, as when magazines don't sell they get taken off the newsstand.  This magazine is owned by Hachette Filipacchi which also has US magazines and is based in New York. \n\nYou should try sending an e-mail the them to ask where in the US you can buy this magazine on the newsstand.  They should be able to give you that information.  Be sure to tell them where you live....\n\nhttp://www.sugarmagazine.co.uk/controller.php?object=contact

The border has nothing to do with that. The problem is that in the US computer job employees need/want more money and the company can go to another country and get people just as qualified who will work for much less money. The US economy is over-inflated compared to that of many other other countries. Either the pay for the other countries must all match the US pay, or vice versa.

Try! you are very, very welcome.  Don't listen to WOLLYwomb & Martin B.  As employers, we adore you people coming to our lovely country.  Before the Eastern Europeans arrived, employers really suffered trying to get staff. Young Brits don't really like working, or they like to be paid in cash, so it doesn't interfere with their benefit claims.  Then there was the many, many, many,many, many, sick days, normally after a binge-drinking evening.  So keep trying. WE NEED YOU!

There is, but i don't know if it applies for the whole country or only for the border zone. \n\nWhat I do, is go to an "exports boker" or something like that (most times they have locals in the shopping malls), and give him my receipts, so that he makes a pay order with my name in it, for the ammount of the sales tax. It usually takes an entire day for you to be able to get the money from that pay order.

i don't think it pays enough to warrant sending it overseas for cheaper labor. and you want to talk about a boring job. i worked for blue shield for over two years. yukk.

Yes I work for peanuts! I love my job as a makeup artist but the pay sucks and I can't pay my bills with free makeup!!! I actually have a job interview as a financial specialist for hispanics, since I'm good with numbers and speak Spanish. I'm sure it won't be as fun as doing makeovers all day, but the pay is almost doubled and I'll receive benefits. Good luck to you in the future and wish me luck!!! :)

I worked there for 6 months, and loved it, probably one of my favorite jobs I ever had.  I was a part-time shelver and cashier.  Pros:  working with books and seeing what was new before everyone else; seeing books that I never thought of while shelving; meeting new people while working there and having them recognize me everytime they came into the store; having (for the most part) really great co-workers\nCons:  Standing on your feet all day, getting papercuts when shelving (yes you are tempted to look through books and are allowed to as long as you get everything done lol), getting in the habit of straightening books like they have them in the store...I still find myself going into Barnes and Noble and if they aren't done like how I was trained, I find myself straightening them or putting them back where they belong lol, holiday rushes at the cash stand...talk about feeling pressured, shelving duties meant we had to be there at 7:30am before the store opened which was okay but some mornings that was really hard and you just wanted to sleep in.  I was sorry to have to leave but they cut out the shelving department at my store so I was let go.  If I hear of the store near me here in Atlanta hiring, I may try for a part-time job here as I loved it so much.  Good luck if you try, I highly recommend it even though the pay isn't very good, and you more than likely will spend it all in the store lol. =)

I worked there back in '01 and it started at $7.50/hr, so its probably more now, however I think it varies at different locations, and whether you are hired as a bookseller or a cashier.
