A little bit of this, a little bit of that

• Preston, United Kingdom

• Personal Development

  • 2002 - 2008

  The wilderness before finding my feet. Experiences, relationship building, enjoying my late teens to early twenties. Instead of boring you with pizza restaurants and call centres, sorry they're both plural, in truth it was one of each. So before starting my career there were two jobs between leaving college and today, and to be fair I gained a lot from these 6 years or so. The former of the two only lasted about 8 months before I moved on to the call centre - a move based on following friends in a workplace 😬 In fairness I loved this job and the tips, I made more on these than I did the wage. Which says a lot about what I gave to the role I suppose. Here at a younger age I learned so much about people from language (both in body and tone), entertaining, service and a human approach to everything - customers and colleagues. And of the latter of the two, well everyone has a fun story from working in a call centre right! But I'll save that for another time. I spent a fair few years here and I took from this what everyone else does in these environments - the friendships. But this time also, in hindsight, buried something deeper which has been allowed to flourish in my career and that is the respect, the time, the passion for people. Show less
