There can be no greater disappointment than excelling at something you’d rather not do.
Today doing cold calling for my part time telemarketing job, I cleared over quadruple the minimum goal that many never acheive in the first place. Speaking with other employees on breaks, I found that only in my 3rd week I’ve gained a reputation as a shark and one of the best on the job.
the silver lining: I now have the confidence to talk my cold call skill and talent toward a more traditional position in line with broadcasting. In my schooling I learned a simple foot in the door toward a job in on-air or production was in the sales department. I have resisted this for five long years. I break this resistance tomorrow. going over budget and into the red, I bought a new shirt and pair of pants and I’m digging out my tie collection. Its time for the interview game to begin again.
