Adult Decisions
I really need someone to talk to about my current job situation. I'm in the middle of making a decision and it has to be made by . . . well, sundown tonight. Any advice you can throw my way would be wonderful.
I've been bouncing from job to job (well, not really. I've had one job that's a really short one, and I won't be doing that again. I like my short resume with long years on it) and have two job offers right now. One is for the call center Jennifer works at and she seems to really enjoy it. It's the same as what I did at AT&T, with slower call volume and a little more relaxed. There's a really good chance I could ge a 4pm-1am shift, which I would love. It has a nice pay rate and chances for going up in the company. All it all, it seems to be a good place to work, and I've been trying to get on there since I left AT&T. The manager knows I'm without a job right now, so he's going to call me tomorrow at 6 a.m and let me know if I can get squeezed into this training class. It would be great if could.
The other is for a car dealership. I would be working in the sales department, making calls and scheduling appointments. I would get base pay, plus commission (on if people show up AND if they end up purchasing), plus two dollars for each service appointment would show up. I know a girl that used to work there, and she says on her worst month there, she still took home $2300. That's . . . double what I was making now. It's double what I'd be making at the call center. It has benefits, but little opportunity to move forward.
I'm hesitant about the car dealership. I've worked in one before, and I worked as a receptionist for two years. I hated every minute of it. I hated the hours and the non flexibility of the work. But i"m also a little more mature than I was at Fowler. Perhaps a stable 8-whatever job is really what I need. I'm also terrified; this isn't reception work, this is sales. I've never done that before and it makes me uneasy. Gwen (my former co-worker who aslo worked at this one) swears to me that she thinks I'd do wonderful and that it's quite easy.
I dunno. The call center seems great, but do I really want to do that? And the car dealership seems to good to be true, but I'm scared I'll get into it and get myself fired because I suck.
I don't want to cheat myself out of a good opportunity because I'm scared. But I also don't want to get stuck in a position I hate.
Thoughts would be WONDERFUL.
