1. I don't know. It depends. The current project I am on has had people on it for over a year.
2. You won't get offers while on a current one I believe.
Also, double check on that headset, they specified two model numbers and it wasn't the 770. Once you accept a project they will set up your computer with the programs needed. You will use an internet phone system through the computer and your house phone will be free.

Thanks so much for the info. I will as the interviewer how long the project is. I have a three yr old and he will start pre-K in the fall of 09... just trying to plan ahead.
I'll also ask about the headset. I have a little time between now at the start date, so I think I'm good there too. Thanks again for your help. I'm trying to recruit my kid sister, she was bogging me down with a thousand questions. Thanks again and have a happy holiday!!!!

I currently start work with Cloud10corp on the 28th, I had no problems with anything during the interview and hiring process. When you are on hold that means that you will get an E-Mail when a position opens up. I recieved three Job offers from them until I chose the one I will doing now. Just be patient and keep checking your in box it took about a month for me to get my first offer.
Initially you have two interviews with them, Then if you are accepted you have to wait for the third interview, The third interview takes awhile to get to since that is your actual job interview the first to just make sure you know how to use a computer and your voice and such.
When you are on Pcpitstop make sure you disable your antivirus and zone alarm and any other security programs as they can interfere with the test.
any other questions just ask I am more than happy to try and help

I applied for a job with Cloud10 and after doing the PCPitstop my DSL speed wasn't fast enough. I received an email to send my results again after I upgraded to a faster speed. I did so and sent them the results and have not heard a thing. Would it be a good idea to call them? I am spending an additional $90 a month for this service and can't afford it without a job. I feel like they are not getting my emails or something. I hope you can help me with this matter, as I have emailed the HR dept. for help and still haven't heard. Thank you for your help.

Hi all.
Quick question, what is the basic starting pay. I have not found this anywhere.
Also, what is the deal with them not paying you for the first month?
What is involved with the telelphone interview?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Cloud 10 is a great company to work for. They keep you updated by email at least twice a week. I am starting a temporary project as an independent contractor on Feb. 13 The start pay is $9/hr plus an additional $50 for completing the project. They are still hiring so I suggest you apply ASAP to be considered for this project. The telephone interview is pretty simple. They ask you if you have any experience and what do you ACTUALLY know about cloud 10's company. I never heard about them not paying you for the first month.

Nora..
Thanks for your input on that. That is of great help.
I have submitted my phase two (pc pitstop) results last Friday, I have not seen an update that they have received this. This is already Thursday and I don't want to be disqualified for not sending this back to them in a timely manner. I sent it to the address given, I also sent a letter to them wondering if they had received this, and I have gotten no reply.
Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated as I really want to be involved in this.
Also, do you know what happens after you are done with the temp job? Are you an employee for future jobs?
I wouldn't be able to do a temp job as I would have to give up my hours at my regular job. I would need a solid offer.
Thanks all!!

I'm in the same boat as you. I paid an extra $90 a month to increase my DSL and sent them the new results as they requested and two weeks have passed and I have sent the results 3 times with 3 letters. They have not replied to any of them. I am beginning to think they are not getting them, since they always responded before. I really don't know if I should keep this DSL since it is so expensive. Keep me up to date on how you come out and I will let you know if I hear anything also.

Nora and Tigerlady or anyone else that can answer this question....
I was just emailed by human resources regarding the DTV temp job. I was wondering if this is full time for two weeks or if this is part time and if anyone knows the hours they are requiring for this.
I am working at another job and want to make sure I don't blow my chances before I can commit to something and not know what I am signing up for first.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also, do you get paid the 9.00/hour for training too?

Hi Dee,
I just resigned from the DTV program..if you accept, they will send you what hours are available..i had chosen 36 hours per week working the 7pm-1am shift with Th/Fri off..cloud10 is a great company but i have high concerns for this paticular project..they are training now but are unsure if they are going to start on the original Feb 13th date or wait until June..they are going to make their decision depending on how many stations report they are going to change over in Feb ..stations can get permission to do this from the FCC..which means that all over the country viewing areas, some channels will require the box, others will be both analog and digital and some channels will wait..a lot of channel numbers will be changing also..what this tells me is we will have to know area channel updates almost daily as the FCC approves or denys..again, cloud10 is going to wait and see if they are going to start employees in Feb or wait until June..training is paid by a bonus of $50.00 AFTER you complete the project (all your shifts)..for me it just sounds like a big mess lol..this is the info i got from cloud10 though..im sitting this one out and waiting for another project..good luck to those who take it though!!

Hi Tigerlady,
Thank you so much for your info on that. Yes, I did just sign up for this project and scheduled a telephone interview on Monday. I will ask them about this too when I have them on the phone. Since I was also wondering about this myself because the date has been pushed back to June. I don't want to be just waiting for this project until June. I would rather do something now.
The only other job that I saw on the page where you schedule your telephone interview, is a sales job. I was wondering about that too. I don't think I would be interested if they mostly have sales jobs.
Could anyone help on this one?
I guess I could just do the phone interview on Monday and go from there because I don't want to spend the money on a headset right now if they are not hiring immediately.
I think they must be confused as I just received this information wanting me to apply for the DTV job this morning.
Thanks again!!!

deesunshine,
I had my interview for the DTV program today and my training starts tomorrow. They didn't say anything to me about waiting till June, but I guess they might during training, so I will have to wait and see. Good luck with your interview. Hopefully we will both be working on this job right away. As you, I need something now, not months from now.

Thanks ML!!
I will keep you posted. Interview with them shortly. I am excited and nervous. I do hope this will be something more long term eventually. I am not giving much notice to my current employer..but I am hoping Cloud 10 will work out for something longer than a temp job.
Thanks for your input.

Hi all,
I just had my interview and got hired as well. I start my training tomorrow.
I just had a question....if anyone knows the answer...I know this is a silly question, but I should have thought about asking it..what about breaks?
What if you need a "potty" break. Are you allowed to put yourself on hold?
Any help on this would be great.
Also, I was wondering if this just hurt my chances of getting hired on directly from the company or helped it. I really just wanted to get my foot in the door.
Thanks all!!

Anyone do the training today for DTV? I am wondering if we are supposed to be emailed to find out our next step? I was hoping I would have received an email this evening for more information. Let me know if anyone has some info on this!
Thanks
