Day 18 Set or share a goal
My main goal at the moment is to get a job! More specifically a job I enjoy and hopefully involves using German.
I also aim to see Pretty in Pink and St Elmo’s Fire before the end of the month. I watched The Breakfast Club a couple of weeks ago and want to see them in the order they’re mentioned in Bowling For Soup’s song 1985!
No More Call Centres!
Argh!
I got out of work today and found I had two voicemails, both from agencies who’d seen my CV online and wanted to speak to me. I was really excited and as soon as I got in I started looking up the phone numbers to see if it was anyone exciting.
Both of them were temp jobs in call centres, or “not a call centre, more of a helpdesk”.
It’s clearly on my CV that I want to move away from call centres and into translation! One of them has said she’d keep me on file and maybe contact someone in Winchester for me, but they were both quite negative about having anything come up for me.
Back to the phones tomorrow then…
About Me
Leah HallisseyI'm 24 and live in Birmingham, UK. I recently quit my job in a call centre at home in Portsmouth to return to my University town so I could both move back in with my boyfriend and hopefully re-start my career, this time actually making use of my German and Translation Studies degree. I'm now working for a water company looking for unbilled properties. Yum.
