Call Centre RoundsIn my call centre days, I met so many people doing this it explains a lot about customer services.
1. Via a temp agency, find a call-centre job with a half-decent company (e.g. telecoms or banks, no cold-call selling). This should be easy.
2. Attend 2-3 week training course for company x. This will inevitably be the easiest thing in the world - just daydream at £6.20 an hour.
3. Start the job. Do everything you can to be utterly useless. Avoid sitting at your desk as much as possible. Dodge calls all the time. Walk around aimlessly. Believe me, you have to go a long way to be worse than some of the people who work there. Take the absolute piss. The avoidance of work can make a rubbish job into an exciting game.
4. Eventually, probably after about a month, your contract will be cancelled. There will be no bad rep as the company will not want to go through that process, and you'll just get a standard reference. You may find, as with some places, that you become a permanent member of staff and that there is no reward whatsoever for actually doing any work, and everybody is doing the same.
5. If asked not to come in monday, return to step 1, hopefully with the same agency. Now you have call centre experience and should have the pick of call centre jobs, despite the fact you're utterly useless to any employer.
Repeat. Get paid £6.20 an hour for continuously doing fuck all, half of it sitting through training courses.
It's not quick money, but it works, as long as you're never tempted to lift a finger, because the jobs are as rubbish as you would think.

I didn't try to take the piss like the other tempsBut somehow my natural charm swung it, it was more bad luck. Got an operation appointment through the post 2 days before I start. Tell them then work 5 days before I have to leave for said operation. Terminate my temp contract then I came back a few weeks later but still not 100%. I was late once in 2 days then phoned in sick as I could barely get out of bed.
The result? Contract terminated again but I got about 5-6 weeks wages for 7 days work.
Easy work if you can find it.
