Buftex Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Good God, if I could move back to Buffalo, I would apply in a second! I am a "yes" on all of those questions! Ironically, when I was younger, and full of dreams, working for the Bills was near the top of my "fantasy jobs", now I couldn't work for them, even if I wanted to...damn you hands of fate!

IDBillzFan Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Just curious, what is keeping you from coming back? 718828[/snapback] It's probably tough to navigate your way into town without hitting all the people on their way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Whats the salary? If its more than about oh...80k a year, I might be interested. More to the point, any chance I can schedule an interview on Opening Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Just curious, what is keeping you from coming back? 718828[/snapback] My girl would never move to Buffalo...she doesn't hate it, but she hates cold weather...Buffalo, I fear, seems to be an acquired taste. If you are born and raised there, more than likely, you have a fondness for it, to some degree at least...if you aren't from there, it is a hard sell...where we live right now (Austin, TX) blows Buffalo away, on paper anyways...but Buffalo will always be home to me...I would love to be able to justify a move there...

I Forgot My Last Username Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 That job sounds HORRIBLE - it doesn't matter who you're working for, telemarketing on the weekends and specifically on GAME DAY? Oh deary. Not only that, but you have to "service existing clients". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably not calling, instead you're meeting with clients at games to make sure everythings okay, and see if they need more tickets.

Not only that, but you have to "service existing clients". 719015[/snapback] I guarantee this job blows. I use to do this same type of job for the Atlanta Braves. You cold call people, and that just flat out bites. And you usually have a quota in the off-season to do so. Also, you are cold calling businesses alot to try and sell them suites and billboard / signage advertising inside the stadium. Probably helping with season tickets in some capacity......all ticket people do that. Almost any job in tickets in professional sports sucks. There is virtually no time to be a fan whatsoever, and even though you would be working for the Bills, it really sucks. Notice the telemarketing keywords and things like that. This is an entry level, peon job, for those just out of college trying to get experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
