Consumer Self Assessment

• Are you able to create a home office setup that is quiet and distraction free?

• Do you have the stamina to consistently work 4-6 hours consecutively?

• Is there a period of time during the day you are most efficient and effective?

• Do you take medications that impair your ability to fully participate in your work?

• Do you have personal challenges that would interfere with your ability to fully participate in your work?

• Do you get stressed or anxious easily?

These are just a few of the questions a potential candidate should ask themselves in order to evaluate and determine if Customer Service work is an appropriate match

Case Study

NTI Employee working for Meijer

Claire Nicholson- from Arlington, Texas

Completed application- NTI June 2007

Hire date for employment - 10/16/07 when she began working for Meijer.

Claire is currently still employed with Meijer working 20hrs/week and current pay rate is $9.25/hr.

“I am truly thankful that NTI was available to connect me with Meijer when I first contacted NTI” several years ago.  I remember how nice everyone was that I came in contact with and how they seemed determined to find me a position.  Without NTI I don't know what disabled people would do.  I would highly recommend candidates to work with NTI.  I myself have rheumatoid arthritis and have some terribly painful days when I am not quite myself but I continue to work. Applying to NTI and working as a customer service agent has provided me opportunities that I may never have experienced otherwise.-Claire Nicholson
