Update call center (applying, jobs, moving, resume)

[mlbchick22]

So I should have listened to my gut and been brave enough to leave the first week and go back to my old job. I was convinced to keep at it and finish my training. Ended up having a panic attack once I hit the floor. Was told if I could not go back to the phones that would be taken as a resignation. I couldn't compose myself. Part of me feels like a total failure the other is glad that at least I tried it. But how do you pick yourself up after this?

Do you have a panic disorder?

From browsing your other posts, it seems like you aren't very flexible or you have a hard time dealing with change. True, call center work is not the best, but usually it's not "murder." For most people, I would say suck it up and come up with a plan for your next move. Oh well.

Good luck and I hope you find another job.

FYI, I'm speaking from experience. Years ago, I used to stutter badly and I still managed to do call center work. Anxiety and all.

its called life, pick yourself back up, shrug it off and continue moving forward with what makes you happy.

A friend of mine was having a similar issue and thankfully he was able to go back to his old job. Is that a possibility for you? If not, keep your head up high, take some time to relax, and then get back out there and make sure resume is updated and you start applying to jobs within a week or so. Try not to dwell on this too much.
