My life with Aspergers

Chapter 52- A second chance. . .

So I wanted to be a CSM (Customer Service Manager) because they probably get paid more than cashiers. A CSM is like 2 levels above cashiers.. Of course service desk is 1 level above cashiers.. So anyways, I attempted to take the assessment for the CSM but I failed it. Well, before I took it, one of the managers said to me that whatever I do, I should not click the middle choices because I would then automatically fail. Then when I was taking the assessment, I did choose some middle choices. . . To be fair, I was just trying to be honest with the choices. I mean, wouldn't you be honest if it was asking questions about yourself and you wanted to be honest? I know I would.

Well after I realized that I had failed the assessment, some part of me was depressed that I failed it.. Just a little bit. Although there is a second chance that I could take the assessment if I failed the first time. .. But if I did fail the assessment, I would have to wait 6 months after taking the assessment. I know it's a long time. . But then some CSM'S mentioned to me that before I could become a CSM, I would have to at least spend 6 months up at the service desk.. If that's what I had to do before taking the CSM assessment test, than that's what I'm willing to do. Of course I had updated my career preference to service desk so I could spend at least 6 months up there... But before it could be accepted for the update request, I'd have to be working at least 6 months at the store.. September is coming, and that would mark as 5 months working where I work. So that means that in October would be the 6 month..

I know getting to where I wanna go is going to be a long process, but if this is something I'm willing to work towards (Which I am) then I believe I can make it through. Now don't get me wrong, I know there's a lot of things you would have to remember and the responsibilities of being a CSM, and I know that. But as long as I get the training, then I can remember that stuff.. Just like when I was being trained of being a cashier, there were some produce numbers I had to memorize. At first I had to look it up, but as time went on, some of those codes I have memorized. There are still some I need to look up, but I'm working on it.

I guess what I'm saying is, yeah even though I failed the assessment the first time doesn't mean that I'm not going to try again because I will try again. And I know when I take that assessment, I'll pass.. And hopefully by then I'll have spent at least 6 months at the service desk. I don't care how long it takes, I'll get to where I wanna go. So my advice to you is this; Whatever  you wanna do, don't give up. Keep trying no matter how long it takes and I promise you, you'll feel better when you succeed completing what you wanted to do.
