I am not sure what I am looking to do with my life and I really feel naive as to what I am qualified for. I am looking for a change but don't even have a clue as to what field to go into. Any good advice?
I have lots of great phone sales experiance. I am very good with people, and I am extreamly good at edicute. I am also a pretty quick typer and I can retype documents very well also. I am able to use a computer well and the following programs MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Outlook. I am also good at researching on the internet.
However I am not very good at spelling, and I relie on spell check compleatly. I am great when given a task, I complete it within the deadlines to the best of my ability. I am a great motivation to the people that I have managed in the past. I am a very positive thinker most of the time.
If there is anyone out there with advice please pass it on. I am so confused at the moment with what I would like to do with my life.

It must be hard not really knowing what you want to do with your life. In a transition period like you are experiencing the best course of action is to reevaluate what kind of work you want to do and how much you are capable of making.
You stated that you have experience in phone sales, so I hope it is safe to assume that you have experience in telemarketing. If you've gotten burned-out from trying to sell to people over the phone you could try working in the customer service field. You also stated that you are able to use programs such as Word, Excel, and Outlook. Coupled with phone experience you may be qualified to work as a personal secretary or assistant. Try looking for these jobs in larger companies, colleges, or doctor's offices.
One other job that comes to mind is working as a dispatcher for a local police or fire department. Phone experience and computer knowledge are all very important in that kind of work.
Hope this acts as a springboard for you to start investigating what is out there for you.

Well you're certainly right about the spelling! But recognising your weaknesses as well as your strengths is an advantage.
You say you've got plenty of phone sales experience? so why don't you want a job in telesales? (ok, apart from the fact that it's boring!). With an ability to motivate others as well as yourself you could easily work your way up to a supervisory position.
Another area could be a telephone receptionist - greeting callers, typing out messages, meeting people. In an area like that personality and positive thinking win over spelling! There are all sorts of employers that can use people in positions like that - not just large corporations but also hospitals, doctors, lawyers etc etc.
And if you're really a hotshot in sales why don't you try something like real estate sales?
With a positive attitude you will succeed in whatever you do - good luck

If you have phone and sales experience you may consider working in a call center. You don't really need spelling skills because you can take short hand notes about the calls.
If you have good people skills, also consider retail. Go to your local mall and see what places are hiring, especially for the holidays.

try doing purchasing (buying stuff when they need you to), or for people who do construction, you can sell the parts and stuff from the companies who sell to construction companies. It is mostly numbers. You could be an admin but if your spelling and grammar is not right on, that is a bad reflection on the company, and you wont last long. Reception work is pretty easy, but same thing, watch your spelling on fax sheets, etc.
