I believe I am one of those people, who has difficulty in leaving the comfort zone. Yes I can adapt quickly, but as much as possible I would rather stay where I am in at the moment than to venture out in the unknown, which is one of the reasons as well that at my age I haven't been to different companies. In other words, if you have my loyalty, trust that you will have it perhaps lifelong unless there's something that would broke my trust.
However, these past three months, it was a different story. It was a bit sad, but I was left with nothing but to embrace and accept that it happened and shits do happen.
Just when I finally feel at home, and slowly making my way through the crowd (chos!) A bomb was dropped! At first I wasn't that affected since, somehow I got a fallback, I won't be totally jobless. So I was just kind of chill, but after having experienced a legit salary ( without having to work extra on weekends or do overtimes to just earn enough), I thought nope! this fallback won't work for me now - human greed!
This lead me to a decision to apply in another BPO company, I believe I've applied for almost half the numbers as my fingers or even more. I can still clearly recall what most of the interviewees would say after my interview as well as the tone of their voice and the look on their face. I remember one said, " You still have so many lapses with your pronunciation". Others may say: " I apologize, however, I cannot process further your application" or " I am sorry but the account that has an opening right now requires our candidate to have at least finished 2 years in college without back subjects". Of course that didn't stopped me at first. I have this motto since I was in grade school to try and try until you succeed, after all there's no harm in trying.
Until, I grew tired taking rejections after rejections, where partly I was at fault too because I did not come on interviews prepared. I realize this misfortune has to stop, while I was taking in rejections after rejections I already had a pending application at another BPO company as well that requires me to attend another reassessment before I would be formally enrolled in their training program. I finally decided to concentrate on that one first and I thought, okay I will decide from there.
Thankfully, I was able to made it to the cut and now one of the trainees! I still have a long way to go, and to be honest I am quite scared, this was the door at first I refused to open because I don't have the confidence however, those rejections I received motivated me to do well and give my all in this. The most important thing, I need a job to live the life that I wanted to have! So tiis-ganda besh!
