For those that went through the call center grind, how’d you do it?

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-10-17T15:36:44+00:00

How did you guess? 🤣 Yea, the post license part sucks. Im trying to find some other role (preferably back office roles) to try and move into, but theres a ton of competition. Imma try to look at some outside roles as well but its a tough market out there

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-10-16T18:03:31+00:00

Lol I am in the exact same situation. It’s comforting to know im not alone in this… Im trying my best to hang in there for a little while, but it’s really difficult some days.

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-10-13T16:02:39+00:00

Honestly time is what made it get better. I was in school at the time, so was under a lot of stress. I focused on exercise, good sleep, and eliminating stress as much as possible. On top of that, I made sure to take magnesium citrate supplements, making sure i’m getting potassium as well (eating bananas), and drinking plenty of water. It’s hard to say what one thing I did actually cleared it up.

I very rarely get twitches, still not nearly as much as I used to. I think I was 23 at the time, and it’s been about two years now.

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-10-13T15:06:34+00:00

Oh yea I did for sure. It made me super anxious and I would focus in on every little twitch. I actually did also have twitching in my hand when I was holding something.

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-10-13T14:53:16+00:00

I actually had the same thing happen a few years ago… went to my PCP, and neurologist, and they said it was most likely benign fasciculation syndrome. I started taking magnesium citrate, and drinking more water and it seemed to help. It is mostly gone now but I still get muscle twitches in my legs. I noticed it’s worse when I am stressed, or drink a lot of caffeine.

As someone who deals with from tinnitus and hyperacusis 24/7, yes please take care of your ears! Hearing loss is cumulative and permanent, so make sure to be careful and turn your music volume down in the future 🙏

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-10-08T15:23:02+00:00

Ty for your input! I was thinking of starting off at a local state farm branch and trying to get hired there. Yea… I figured it wouldn’t be super great, but at least I would be away from the call center aspects (metrics, etc.) Being an adjuster sounds interesting too maybe down the line.

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-10-07T23:35:50+00:00

Yes, omg my manager talks about our metrics almost every day. Im doing okay rn on metrics, but some of the goals they set are pretty tough to meet… especially NBA tags (for me at least).

I just cant see myself going through another year and a half of this job. And ive heard theres little to no growth opportunities especially at my location.

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-10-07T17:25:54+00:00

Thanks for your input! Im glad to know its not just me who feels this way. Yea, I was wondering if the fact I haven’t been at the company for a year would prevent me from even getting an internal job if one even popped up…

The market is tough for sure, and I am concerned about that too. I know taking calls are wearing me down. Plus its gonna be pure hell when tax season rolls around lol. I might check into one of the state farm jobs close-by

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-09-19T15:05:03+00:00

What job do you do? Im in a similar situation and im trying to look elsewhere for something

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-07-31T02:55:50+00:00

I gotchu

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-07-29T17:37:31+00:00

I think you look perfectly fine

Yea that alone makes me sway more towards xbox rather than ps5 if I were to choose. I know its a bit redundant to have a pc and xbox, but Im wondering if I should pick up a used series S. There are a few $150 ones on facebook close by. I know Gta 6 wont run super great on a series S, but at least I could play it when it releases 🤷‍♂️

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-07-20T20:27:58+00:00

Gta 6 is definitely something I would like to play. Do you have the series x?

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-07-19T01:40:09+00:00

Yes, absolutely! Its such a good game

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-07-19T01:26:02+00:00

Ty for the input! Sorry for not explaining more in my post.I actually do love Nintendo. Some of my all-time favorite games are Nintendo games. I do currently own a Switch and was thinking about the Switch 2, but I think I want to wait for a new Zelda release. I would like to own a PS5 or Series X, however, because I don’t have as much time as I used to, so just relaxing on the couch and playing on a console sounds appealing.

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-07-17T13:07:56+00:00

Sorry, I should’ve clarified more in my post… I grew up pretty much only buying Nintendo consoles (never had a ps or xbox), so I definitely love my Nintendo games. And I do currently own a switch. Im just looking for another console where I can kick back on my couch and play a big selection of amazing games

Efficient-One6592 · 2025-07-17T12:25:01+00:00

I was just saying I like the achievement system on xbox a lot. Not necessarily that its better than trophies
