Kelvin's transition from a janitorial role to a call center environment marked a significant shift in his professional journey. The fast-paced nature of the call center presented him with both challenges and opportunities. In the call center world, adaptability and quick learning are key, and Kelvin soon found himself navigating through the dynamic landscape.

Initially taking calls, Kelvin got a taste of the high-energy environment, where every second counts. Dealing with a variety of customers and situations, he honed his communication skills and developed a resilience to handle the unpredictability of customer interactions. The fast-paced nature of the job kept him on his toes, but Kelvin thrived in this environment.

However, the call center culture revealed another layer when Kelvin found himself promoted to a leadership role, suddenly in charge of a team of new hires. The shift from an individual contributor to a team leader brought forth a new set of responsibilities and challenges.
