Sooooooo recently I've started working as a customer service representative for Comcast, and so far, everything has been good (well, at least for the most part). I was finally able to go out of my comfort zone and explore the outside world (naks. And when I say world, I'm actually referring to the humble little room of mine). I've never imagined that I would one day apply for a job, though I know that I'm gonna have to do it in the future.. it's just that I was so fixated with my dream of becoming a doctor that it never occured to me that I can be a csr as well. Life really is unpredictable..
I started working last May (I think?) Soooo it means I've been working as a CSR for almost 6months now. Heck I don't even know how I got here. When I was still a student, I've always thought that working in a call center is damn easy. I mean, you just gotta have to take in calls and speak english, right? But no. I've never been so wrong. That's not all there is to it. Working in a call center takes a lot of patience and determination. If you don't have those, you surely won't make it. There's a lot mooooore that you need in order for you to survive in a call center, but I'll save those for later. It's exhausting, both mentally and physically. And if you let stress get the best of you, it will surely eat you alive.. but even though this job is very tiring and depressing (sometimes hehe) it also is rewarding. I do get good calls from time to time. Whenever I'm able to resolve the customer's concern, I get happy inside. It's like, I can handle another call. I can still go on like this. I probably sound like I'm just ranting.. but no. There's so many things that I'm thankful for. I'm glad I've decided to take the risk.. yes, this job is not the easiest job in the world, but because of this job I was able to meet a lot of good people. People who will stay with me for the rest of my life, though I know that they won't be with me physically forever, their memories will surely do. They've taught me things I never learned at school.. things I'll never learn in my own "world".. things that are so valuable and are priceless. It's these things that's keeping me going. I'm so thankful for the friendship and experience that this job has given me.
They say, change is inevitable. Indeed it is. I know some of them will soon leave, and I'll be on my own again. It's depressing... but then again, I know for a fact that I'm gonna have to go as well. I mean, I still need to pursue my studies. After all, I still want to be a doctor. But these times that I've spent working won't be forgotten. I will always keep it with me.. I will surely treasure these memories.
This past 6 months surely is the best thing that ever happened to me and I want to thank all the people who made this journey fun and worthwhile.. Thank you! :)
