Customer Service

NetlixInteresting facts about the UK:

  • The unemployment rate in the UK is around 2.6%
  • The rate of illiteracy is around 20%
  • Does that mean that that 17.4% of the people who are working are illiterate? Nah . . . it doesn't work that way.

    However, it might explain why the clerk at NTL Cable told me this week that an installer would be here today (August 28th) and yet scheduled us in their system for September 14.

    Sigh . . . Nothing like waiting around all day for the cable guy.

    The Job Search Begins

    NetlixMy first job prospect in the UK is with Netflix. They are currently expanding into the UK and expect to launch to the public in Q4.

    Previously, I had submitted my resume through at least 4 different people. I even had Tom Campbell, the Dean of the Haas School of Business at Berkeley, forward my resume to Reed Hastings, the founder and CEO of Netflix. Yesterday, I met with the Managing Director of the UK expansion.

    They hava a financial/marketing analyst position available that I am considering. The position is very junior for me but it may lead to other things within the company. Stay tuned . . .
