Always offered jobs/placements in call centres

Recently, I have come to the depressing conclusion, that this is all people that are supposed to help me into employment think that I am worth.

I have explained to my work coach, and other advisors, that I have already experienced this kind of work, against my will, and that it led me to have a near nervous breakdown. Yet, for some reason, this has fallen on deaf ears.

  • Hi, my experience in a call center was similar as yours. How can someone force you to do some certain type of job? There are many options. Maybe you can consider changing the coach if possible? Or try searching yourself (if you didn’t yet) or with help of someone from your family/friend whoever you trust if you have such trusted person? I dont know what is your education level, but here it does not even matter much because still with or without a degree you can start somewhere else. 
    maybe you can search some other agencies, charities that help with this kind of stuff. 
    In the country I’m living in - Germany, there is the job agency and they are just lazy, dumb and totally unhelpful. I graduated from logistics and all they had to offer me was… a truck driver! Where I don’t even have any driver license and it’s not what I was looking for. I also explained them that call center is not an option because of my mental health and next offer they sent me was call center in language which I don’t even speak. But I found a charity that helps with searching jobs. 
    Maybe they would offer you some courses, further education if possible. It’s hard to advice anything here, these are just my ideas.
