SURVEY SAYS

Dude, you’ve gotten your foot in the door!

One source in sales gives the following advice: “It’s nearly impossible to get into Dell by simply sending in your resume from the street. Dell has this sort of ‘buy and try’ system worked out with a temp agency known as Spherion. [It] screens and tests candidates and then hires them on as contract workers for a set ‘per hour’ pay rate, and if you work out well and do your job, you will get a permanent job offer from Dell after about four to six months of contracting with Spherion.”
