I recently acquired a summer temp job in an office that offers pretty good pay and nice hours. I would be super glad to have this position except that the job involves far more phone calls than I had anticipated. I knew some phone calling would be involved when I applied, but I didn’t want to let my phone anxiety get in the way of getting a job. I figured I could deal with making a few calls every day, but it turns out that I have to make upwards of 15-20 calls to complete strangers every day, all in a row. It’s mostly reading off a script, but even so I get anxious that I will mess up, that I won’t be able to understand the other person, or that they’ll get angry. I thought after a while it would go away, but I still absolutely dread them and they’re pretty much all I can think about before and during work. How can I make these more manageable so I don’t constantly feel ill at work?
