How to impress my boss?I Have Work IN 30 Min!?

Question

My boss wasn't very impressed by the way I work the 1st two days he hired me.He told me straight out that he was having 2nd thoughts.He said I needed to be better with guest service and more alert of my surroundings.I'm afraid that if i mess up one more time,that will be the final straw..i have work in 30 min!and i dont want him to think that again.

P.S-I'm very shy with people and my job requires me to communicate with little kids.Some parents dont like strangers talking wit their kids

WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!???

Answer 1

This may not be the right job for you.  If you have to communicate with kids and you are shy, then it just may not be the right fit.  You only other option is to go against your natural instinct and be more social.  Smile big, and talk to the kids.  If you don't have anything to say, try singing songs that everyone knows like itsy bitsy spider or row row your boat.  Try to remember the kids names and refer to them by them.  Good luck!

Answer 2

Well, if you are in a uniform and it is part of your job I don't think the parents will have a problem.  As for the kids the more you act like a kid the more they like it, or just try to remember what you liked at that age.

As for the boss after 1/4 or 1/2 of your shift ask for feedback so you don't get fired.

Answer 3

Try your best. Remember Practice makes Perfect :-) Good Luck!
