Cold callers

​As you may recall alongside getting my head around a part empty and pending empty nest I am also dealing with redundancy which I have realised is actually not dissimilar in respect of the emotions its creates. So how am I getting on with it – well looking for a new job is quite a challenge at any age and at least I have plenty of experience of writing applications and  interviews but the whole searching process is so time consuming now as there are hundreds and hundreds of adverts/postings on the main websites like Indeed. Anyhow trawling through the advertisements on line got me to thinking about the whole cold call industry as there are a lot of roles doing just that out there - all be it they are dressed up as something fancy. I don't know about you but I have always made a point of being polite when I receive such calls – difficult I know as they can be very annoying but I am always thankful I am not at the other end making the call. As part of my current job hunt I needed to follow up on a possible opportunity – I believe the correct term for this is a warm lead. I was not comfortable with this but I gathered up my courage and made the call and was duly rejected, all be it very nicely. This experience confirmed what I had always thought – putting yourself up for potential rejection is really tough and I can only have respect for the people who put themselves up for rejection time after time, all day and everyday often for a very low salary  – I still find these calls incredibly annoying but they are trying to earn a living and it is not personal so I remain firmly polite advising I already have whatever they are offering before delivering a cheery ‘thanks for you call, goodbye!’
