How can I take the first step to transition out of warehouse work into a white collar job? I needed out like yesterday and my current warehouse job is physically killing my body. I wake up sore everyday. I was thinking of trying to get into sales but i realized im not the most persuasive. I am an introvert, laid back, like helping people, detail oriented and have good time management skills.

Project management certification might be a good way out if you don’t want to pursue sales.

That’s not particularly good for introverts. Most white collar jobs aren’t. I’m a major introvert and it’s incredibly draining when I have five or six meetings in a day and get 10 emails and 25 Teams messages I have to respond to.

Honestly something in a customer service based call center would be amazing for me. Just cant find anything.

You can’t sport that’s truth . Look for a work from home job or something

A few months ago, there were articles about how Juniper Park/TBWA’s hand sign saved the life of a kidnapped girl in a car. But the next day, reporters asked the guy who called the cops about it and he said he had no idea what the hand sign meant, he actually called the cops because the kidnapped girl kept mouthing “Help me.” I’ve heard of agencies exaggerating sales results or click through rates in case studies, I really hope JP/TBWA isn’t exaggerating about, literally, saving someone’s life.

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?
