Hi,
Have posted quite a few previous threads about my job situation sorry! You're probably all sick of me now!
Had a test for a job yesterday while I was at a recruitment agency interview, and just found out today that I got the job.
It's a temporary English and French-speaking customer service role for a music app. It's based in London and expected to last at least 3 months, and I'll start next week.
According to the job description, I'll mainly be writing to customers in English and French to deal with their queries on payments, general queries about the app or about the music on the app.
My current situation is that I volunteer as an adviser for Citizens Advice two days a week and tutor in the evenings. I'll need to give up both of these to do the temp role.
I think my AIBU is: AIBU to feel a bit apprehensive about this role? I'll of course accept it and really want it all to work out, but just feel a bit worried.
Although a customer service role is not where I'd like to develop my long-term career, I'm glad that I'll finally get a chance to have a full-time job where I can earn money, develop, learn new skills and keep up with my French (did French at university, and absolutely love using French).
I think I'm just worried that this role will stop me from reaching my long-term career goals. I think a way around this is if I keep on applying for jobs every day once I've started this role.
My other AIBU is: AIBU to ask what I should do to prove myself in the role from day one and hit the ground running? (Apart from focussing on hitting their customer satisfaction and speed targets for replying to customer queries).
Thanks :)
