So Nervous About Applying For A Job!?

Question

I am so scared about getting a job! I don't know what's wrong with me! Please can someone help by telling me about any nice places to work in York, because I would hate to have a horrible first job. I'm 16, all my friends have jobs but I'm too nervous. Thanks!

Answer 1

I Interview people everyday for jobs - I can offer a little advice ...

* Be yourself - people can see it when your are not and dont end up trusting you

* Always go to interviews well dressed and smart - it says alot about you

* Read about the company you are going for a job with

* If you dont get the job, keep going and dont get too upset - sometimes these things just are not to be!

Good luck

Answer 2

Not doing things we don't want to do,decreases our confidence.Doing things we dread,in the end make us stronger and more confident.

Allow your self to be nervous,it's okay,but you'll see it will evaporate,as soon as you realise there are nice people working there,It's a huge build up,but calmness comes easily and quickly.

Think,what is the worst thing that could happen...you would lose your job,so? do it again and again until you hit on a good one.You will not lose your eyesight,or have an arm cut off,or drop dead.

Concentrate on being as good at your job as you can be,and all the rest will fall on your lap.

Answer 3

Perhaps look for a job in something you are interested in: fashion, animals, sports, whatever it may be, this will assure that you are confident (especially if you are seeking retail jobs) when you interview.

Don't freak...most everyone gets nervous @ one point or another.

Be yourself, dress nice, don't be negative, be eager, and don't lie.

Answer 4

To nervous to *apply*? Even if you did get offered a job, you're not forced to accept the offer or to take it. Walk into some shops or restaurants and ask the people who work there how they like it.
