When people let you down and kick you around like an old raggedy soccer ball, it doesn't feel good on the playing field of life.

Don't let that happen to you again.

Change your mindset from what you see, and focus on who you want to be. Thus...

"So as a woman thinketh, so your situation shall become."

I Believe You Can...!

Why haven’t some people had the success they would like to have?

The reasons which they give, tell us a tragic story about the causes of failure.

To mention a few:

“I never really had a chance to get ahead. My father was an alcoholic, you know.”, "I was raised in the slums and that’s something you can never get out of your system.”, and “I only had a grammar school education.”

These people are all saying, in essence, that the world has given them a raw deal. They are blaming the world and circumstances outside themselves for their failures. They blame their heredity or their environment. They start with a negative mental attitude. And, of course, with that attitude, they are handicapped. But it is NMA that is holding them down, not the external handicap that they give as the cause of their failure.

Hello Im new to JobCase and was wondering if anyone had tricks of the trade they could tell me Thanks fellow jackers! #jobsearch #termination #advice #interview #application

Must Read Without Failure!

Let's be honest with each other okay...?

I learned that everything that transpires in your life [negatively] is NOT your fault. There's a root cause and effect theory behind everything.

Such as, when...

• Your husband takes flight for stupid reasons...
• You're using public transportation from point A to B...
• You have no financial support for your three kids...
• Your supervisor wants you to work overtime twice a week...
• Your salary is between the poverty lines of debate and disaster...

Case and Point: When you're "stuck in a rut" it really sucks. Right?

So, what in the heck can you do?

STEP 1. Get a mentor that really cares and capable of assisting you in plotting a new course in life.

Then, everything else will begin to fall-in-place according to your faith, actions, and intentional attitude.

I Believe You Can...!

Must Read Without Failure!

Remember, I had no desire to study STAT UN1101. Now, I could kiss my Professor on his forehead for encouraging me to take his class.

Statistically, a percentage of people will fall-short in 2024, for various reasons.

Don't let this happen to YOU!

If you aspire to win in life learn, how to apply methods?

METHOD #1. "Squeeze out the towel." All those old bad habits have to go, so everything else great can fall-in-place.

I Believe You Can...!

As often, with music never played on mainstream media; today I leave you with modern Tango from Buenos Aires, Argentina. https://youtu.be/mQusfSWFt6M?si=1BPajGEzRaisDq4O

Like many of you, I too worked as a rep and did chat support, I dont know how I survived it since being super fast is not my strong point and as you may notice, most companies ask that chat reps take care of several chats at a time.

Company owners and most managers call it “ fast paced environment” . I call it stressing out uselessly….

My logic is: how many customers do we gain by chatting super fast vs how many customers do we lose due to the floppiness and stress that inherently comes with attending several chats simultaneously?

After my first promotion and being able to decide on the course of the customer service team I was leading, I decided to cut away with that crazy and stressful habit I still see today in most other companies for this function.

I established a simple rule: 1 agent - 1 chat and the hell with all that stress.

There were a few other things I always noticed about chat support I never liked:

The chat systems I always worked with always ask the visitor for their names and email. So I made it very clear to my teammates to never ask their names as they stepped into the chat; this is a mistake I see often still today..They just have to read the name on the system and greet them accordingly. Its so annoying to have to say things twice ..

And so I also instructed team members to carefully read the visitor's message as to answer every single point brought up and never ever ask for something the visitor already expressed. I find this is the most annoying thing that happens to me as a customer.

And then a few years back, in the middle of Covid and given all the mess we had with shipment delays and Brexit-related issues, we often accumulated important chat waiting queues.

I thought it was a ripe time to bend my rule and have our kids take care of several chats but I thought of a better solution:

I suggested owners IT team code us some short games during the chat wait time both before an agent came in and in case we needed to make the visitor wait more than 45 seconds in the middle of a communication.

The games are all company product and culture related, fast and easily played and if the visitor wins they get a discount on any future purchase.

The reaction was a soaring success; too much actually; we got many more visitors and I was left with the same problem again! So I hired a few super fast 20 year olds that do just chat , and still on a 1 chat 1 customer basis but we get so many visitors its a great ROI, people love playing these easy games for discounts! And its an awesome opportunity to convert visitors into customers

Anyone else hate the stress that goes along with having to do several chats at the same time? How would you remedy this if you had budgetary restraints and couldnt hire more agents, how do you improve it as an agent?

This is an issue I think is always worthwhile coming back to under different forms.

From my small company recruiter experience, I think these are the points I see as most important:

1 - Showcasing past achievements: Most applicants always limit themselves to just saying their past experience. I find this is all just goody goody talk. I think that as applicants we need to demonstrate our best past successes by explaining how we did it and what were the results and also bringing or attaching data proof whenever possible.

2 - Customizing the resume to the role: Guys if you send a resume only minutes after a job post appears, from a recruiter standpoint it's not even worth reviewing it... because its impossible that you customized or bothered to learn something about the company.

3 - Use ATS I find companies are not realizing how much of a false positive this is but unfortunately damm thing is out there so if you dont prescreen your resume it can easily be discarded despite you being a super value.

4 -Avoid Self-labelling: Folks saying that you are confident you can add value to the team or you are the best fit or that you can change things head over heels is only your self-confidence. When I see this it goes directly to resumes heaven. Again, we all need to prove our value by explaining our best achievements plus the way we write or other pluses. It's the recruiter that needs to be convinced and begin to have that confidence in you...

5 - Avoid cookie-cutter lines that mean absolutely nothing... Saying some overused expressions like " I'm passionate about", " I'm an effective customer service representative" I find it shows a lack of originality and thus, of genuine interest in a role. Given that 99% of applicants use these words, using authentic expressions it can surely positively impact any recruiter. You can say things like "my drill in life" "what truly makes me tick", "I feel wholesome when"

6 - Use a Cover Letter: It allows you to explain some key achievements and show your personality. Why not use a video ora audio format.
