I am currently holding a retail job as a part-timer & I am
very worried.
You see, I have a long history of job hopping & job (sobs)
sacking. Office jobs also cannot, retail jobs also cannot (too shy)
I only have my O's & I don't know what I want to do. I
sometimes think that even if I do something that I like, I still
mess it up in the end :(
I actually have a very serious problem with my way of presenting
myself & I always seemed to be too tense & I felt pretty
awkward everytime I speak to people. Today,
my supervisor commented that I looked scared & shy
(as usual with everywhere I go) I am so afraid that this will be
another job that will be gone down the drain just like my
previous.
I've been trying so hard to conceal my 'disability' but to no
avail. Everytime I open my mouth, something always comes out wrong
& it makes people look at me funny, sometimes even angry or
they don't understand me at all.
Another thing is, I am also pretty blur so I can't really do
things that requires me to pay very detailed attention to it.
I suck man, I can't do this, I can't do that...sometimes I think
I suck at working..no talent at all..is there such a thing??
Why can't you do office job? There are many office jobs like
admin assistant which don't really need much talking (or at least
not to stranger).
And many jobs in retail don't need much talking also. I had
worked as sales assistant in Watson before and the job required
more manual work (like pricing, packing, cashier, etc) than
customer facing.
Shyness can be overcome, you just need to talk to more people to
build up your confidence. Start with your friends, colleagues
first.
And if you know you are blur, than just note down all the
outstanding tasks and do them one as a time
