I'm currently out of college and unemplyoed. I'm still figuring out what job I should take. Maybe a call center agent is not a bad idea...
Call centre agent is the ideal first job. Lots of the people I trained with at BT (British Telecom) are younger than myself (25) and for around half of them it was their first proper job.
I am tempted to say that I would let myself starve before I ever had a job that involved calling people...
I would have said the same thing eight months ago. Then my previous job got too boring, I was under poor leadership, and I felt my talents were being wasted, so I just went for it.
"I work in one of those humble call centres... Apparently, what we're doing at the moment is 'sprinkling our magic along the way'. It's a call centre, not Hogwarts." ~ Caroline Garlick, Ayrshire, BBC News Magazine
