Yay, Missy!

Thanks!!!! I sent out 10 resume's between yesterday & today. They already started to interview people for my job!!!! They placed an ad in the paper last Sunday for my job & they actually thought I wouldn't see it!!!! double My manager mentioned to me that I wasn't up to my potential & that I should be doing more sales calls!!!!!! triple If my hubby wasn't out of work I would have already quit. The $365 each week from unemployment only goes so far! I can't wait to away!!!

I wish you the best of luck in finding a new job that you'll love very quickly, Missy. This one must not have been something you enjoyed at all ... in fact, it sounds like it was a lousy match for you.

I remember Bette Midler once saying that she was fired from *many* jobs, and she always enjoyed the rush of freedom that came from being set free ... until the terror set in about what she would do. She said that everything always worked out just fine, though ... as I'm sure it will for you. This is an opportunity for you to find something better for yourself ... another direction that may lead you closer to the bullseye of a fulfilling type of wo*k.

{{{Thanks}}} . I was doing fine when it was all computer work & when I was transferred to customer service & just dealing with the customers, but they thought that I had more time on my hands!!!! Thanks for the boost of confidence! I look at it now that it's their loss, and my gain! I'm looking forward to not having ulcerated ulcers!

Customer service is very challenging wo*k and takes a certain type of natural temperament to do successfully. There's nothing more stressful than dealing with angry people all day long. I don't blame you for not liking it.

Have you ever taken a Myers-Briggs personality test? It's a test designed to help you discover the career areas that may fit you best, where your natural strengths tend to be.

There are plenty of free tests available online, or you can find them in books at your local library. It can be very helpful information to know, especially when planning a career switch.
