This fall I found myself in need of a job to help with college bills...
The last place I thought I would find my self was in a calling center. Although I love talking to people picking up phone and calling people is a little intimidating. Even more intimidating, asking them (total strangers) for money.
To tell you that this last semester was easy would be a lie. It was very difficult it be hung up on and told 'no' over and over again. Sometimes I would get someone who didn't have much to say or a 30 minute life story from an older woman who just wanted someone to listen.
And although it took awhile I eventually got better, conversations became easier, and I grew stronger.
I didn't take it personally to hear the word 'no'
I can pick up the phone without knowing who is on the other end, No problem.
Change can come from where you least expect it.
