What to do
So... for quite sometime I have been looking for a new job. One of my friends/colleague wants me to stay with VzW. I initially wanted to because we get a bonus every year and pay increase, which is unheard of in many jobs. The problem is the job makes me sick and I mean literately and I can't go to work because when you're in a call center you have to be available and on the phones.
I've tried posting within my current organization and had tons of interviews (Let's just say to the tune for 50 plus). I never get the same feedback on what to improve on and some of the jobs were the same position, just different states. I even went as far applying to be a call center supervisor but I failed their assessment. My past supervisor told me it means I don't kiss ass and will actually do what I think is right not necessarily what they want.
I have tried switching fields, as I have a retail background but its in cellular (12 years this November in cell). I've been turned down for various reasons: I have a Bachelor's and that means I will leave or that I am over qualified for positions, I won't be able to handle the commute (thanks for making the decision for me. I've commuted 2 hours to work one way), you don't have the skills to work here (must be real rocket science), you won't be able to take going from management to non-management (thanks again for making this decision, I've done it before).
So today I had a final interview for a company that has a huge domestic presence and global presence. It is my dream job as it combines a lot of my cell experience and customer service. I think my interview went great but the interviewer had a good poker face. He wanted some with an IT background and mine is in Business Administration. I did a fairly good job in my opinion selling myself by relating all my current experience to what this job entails. When I was walking out with the HR recruiter, she told me he is difficult to read but that she wants me, her boss (HR manager) and the Wireless and Global Lead want me. So now comes the time to sit and wait and see what happens. She said I will know one way or another by Monday.
I just don't know what I will do if I don't get, as its been a tough job market. Working in the high stress is making me sick and I need to figure it out fast.
Good News is I'm fully vested, so my 401k is all mine.
Thanks for listening to my rant.
