Hello,
Best wishes to you all.
I'm in the worst financial shape ever, and feel notwithstanding what
my philosophical thoughts before, Im at a real crisis point.
I feel so drained, I'm at a loss at what to write now.
I was working, but never really into it, and just was in a groove,
so I was on auto pilot , but never really thought about
what I did as a career, or thought ho important my time was.
But nonetheless I did spend time, effort, and now do not not have any momentum, or to be honest it in me to make endless calls to talk with someone not really interested in my spiel.
I get advice from people with good intentions, but unless you have walked a mile in my shoes Its academic.
Add to this , the time I wasted last year on a job that was a no win situation, where I did do a good job, but it was ill conceived, with little support, leaves me resentful of the sales field.
Like a car we each have "mileage" or only so much to give of ourselves,
I heard a number of times a manager making comments when I worked such as, " you do this (referring to the cold calling I was doing, or telemarketing) for a little while and you do not want to do anymore, or " I don't know how you do this", or I only make one call- referring to themselves.
Well, I used to be ok with it , but now I see what they mean, and do not want to have be "on" all the time. Also, it's a unstable way to make a living, You can be told how well your doing and a few months later - your gone.
It doesn't matter because of the competitive nature of the market, many jobs for fewer people , my age, and inactivity, it is hard for me
to get a job anyway.
it used to take a few different interviews and I had something.
This is my life , and it's scary at my age I'm applying for things I'm not into.
