Friday, I had a call from an employer whom I have applied to a 2nd time and got some unprofessional attitude from the woman! The company is a 24/7 operation, the pay is great and full time, but I certainly don't wanna be working all hours in a 24/7 environment as I have a set preference for what I want.

The call lasted less than 5 minutes and said that's it never again am I gonna apply to this company! I have applied to one company I found who really spark my interest. I have been thinking about this again recently looking at help desk jobs, their long list of skills they want you to have, I don't have only very very few of them that it looks like I may have to go switch careers. This is something I have been thinking about and been trying not to think about too.

I have no intentions of staying part time forever at my job and no more applying to colleges they take way too long for them to make a decision and to contact you as well. I have applied 13 times within the college district at other sister colleges. The city jobs (besides the state jobs) aren't even any better and have a much longer wait than the colleges.

My resume consists of nothing but customer service with a little bit of IT but not enough for any IT employers to take me seriously. Now, I am not sure how I am gonna explain about a career change to employers. I still want decent pay going up in pay not down! I'm not sure of what other customer service jobs I can do I know of a few places I have zero interest in working with kids, seniors/caretakers, anything similar to that have no interest in being a caretaker.

I don't know, just need a job with company training nothing that requires schooling. I barely see any kind of training with any company these days my focus is just leaving my current job for full time pay so I can start implementing my own personal plans. God, this is still taking way too long. I went to a job fair last Tuesday, a waste of time meet and greet collected resumes!

I haven't taken any career tests in a few years and when I did most of the occupations I didn't even like nor had any interest in them.

Ive been unemployed for 6 mths although I worked for like 1 in half mths. in between, Im gonna try to go back to my old job even though its only part time. As for college you could start at a community college they have open door policy so theres no waiting for decisions. customer service sucks in general maybe you could try bartending they make great tips...no benefits though...or maybe cell phone sales I heard they make decent money all you need is retail experience...IDK just tryna help!
