I Have Worked In The Hells Of Customer Service

Just a rant. I'm a volunteer at a charity shop and the amount of rude customers we get is ridiculous. One guy told me how incompetent I was because I couldn't give him a bag for free which only costs £0.10p. 5p for the smaller bags. People will come in looking to bargain and then get all rude when we say we can't cut the (cheap) prices, all the while we're a charity shop trying to raise money for the sick and terminally ill. Go away.

What field of work are you looking to get into?..
Although,taking a gap year to travel would be ideal right now..as its very hard to do once your on the employment treadmill of life!

@SW-User I'd travel except I'm not exactly rich and I can't rely on my parents anymore haha. At this point any field of work would be great, but I'd love something in the legal sector.

Did Uni tell you the best way to apply for a job,formulating an email/letter?
