My Very Own Disaster With Jobs And Finding My Mistakes
Does anyone else feel that getting New Careers is too tough and stressful? For the past few months I have been very stressed and annoyed. Why? Well it’s because I’ve lately been searching for Career Ideas and have set my mind on starting up a self employed position in online marketing. The problem is, with so many bills to pay the swap from my current job isn’t easy, so for the time being I’m working two jobs and have next to no free time, and it seems like it will remain this way for rather a while until I can get plenty clients up and running. So how did I end up in such a mess? For those who are interested enough to keep reading, I’ll explain how.
My troubles began while in a job at a call centre, offering support for a digital television service. The role was terrible, the company was dreadful to work for and the managers all had their pet favourites, dividing the other staff with the worst shifts and more calls to answer. As far as Careers go, this wouldn’t even be named as one, I can’t imagine many people staying in a role like that. Things got even worse there and I ended up losing my job there, the most worrying part was, I had quite recently bought a new car on finance and had a vacation to the Canary Islands coming up in 1 month time.
So as you have probably realised, me and my fiancé were not doing too well for money and I noticed my stress levels escalating. Locating New Careers throughout the recession was not a friendly task, but I thankfully found a job in online marketing. The career was perfect and just the thing I had been wanting, but more difficulty ahead, there was initial training needed. This was going to setback my ability to make money and even after passing the training, money wouldn’t come in right away, it takes time to get results with a client. I was forced to return to the job hunt, not for New Careers, I wasn’t going to let this opportunity go. No, the job search was for something temporary to earn some money in the mean time.
So I finally found another call centre position, not hard considering there is countless ones out there. However, that “mean time” is taking longer than anticipated. Six months down the line I’m still in the call centre as there’s just not enough time in the day to work two jobs. Whoever thought 8 hour working days was a clever idea clearly didn’t work them himself. My Career Ideas haven’t changed though, I’m determined to make the online marketing career succeed, it’s just hard not having any spare time and not having any money due to the debts that racked up while out of work.
If there’s anything to take in from this story, it would be to be strong with your finances and don’t give up on your Careers if you find something you really want to do. I understand it can be easy sometimes to simply take out credit for a new television, a holiday or a car, but wherever you can, try to save up instead. It’s always a good idea to have as little debt as possible as you can never be sure when the worst will happen.
