This year has truly been the most depressing year of my life. A failed relationship, no job and a fresher, a big bummer for just being a graduate in economics. Knocked on the doors of every companies, big or small, name or no name at all, the issue they had was that im a fresher. Employment opportunities is so tight here in India that people are studying knowing the fact that they wont get to work in their field. Many end up becoming freelancers in something they are good at, like photography or makeup artists. Well, whats the use of studying so much ! ?
So I had three options either to do modelling, join the airlines or BPO. Although I hate taking photos and putting on makeup the first two was already ticked out. I was left with the BPO. So I joined a BPO which deals with the tv setup box. Its a UK based company. All we had to do is answer calls, try to resolve their issues, take payment, setup a payment method, change the payment due date and also do sales, on the phone. Well it is a bit boring and we get paid peanuts as I am a fresher. The staff is pretty nice but the facilities that are offered to us is very poor.
Although my parents never wanted me to join a BPO and never even forced me to work, I just didnt want to sit at home and do nothing. It was depressing staying at home. Although I needed to divert my mind, as I just got over a relationship. I was not actually over a relationship, I was still in love with the guy, but apparently his ex came back and he had feelings for her, which left me shattered. So I needed to do something that would get my mind off him.
So back to the BPO, I am working for almost 2 months now and I am tired of the schedule. We have rotational shifts and we have to be prepared for anytime that is given to us. I made alot of friends over here. I am planning on leaving the job by the end of this month and try to join somewhere else. Not a BPO per say.
Oh and yes ! I met a guy, his name is kevin Tavaris. I do like him alot. Not sure if he likes me the same way I do and we have a great time together. I always keep waiting for the next day to see him. He did tell me once that he likes me more than a friend. But there is someone else, from his area, who he has known for three years and fell in love with her. But they arent in a relationship and isnt planning on being in a relationship, I can never understand why. But I do like him alot. This year is a big bummer.
