Finding a Job is ridiculously UN-FUN!

[Convallaria]

I get nervous very easily, and by nature I'm unhealthily lazy, and I am a master procrastinator. These three factors combined equal unemployment! I'm nervous of job interviews, and of being turned down, and being nervous about not getting a job is a self-fulfilling prophecy, because you're so nervous you blow the interview. This is if I even get around to handing out resumes by overcoming my laziness for a few minutes.

On top of all of this I haven’t had a job interview in about 2 years and I just don't know how I should dress, or what I should say to sell myself. Blah... it sucks arse.



Anyone have any tips?

I can see how it could be difficult for you :lol: It seems you may have some things to conquer in order for it to get easier :hehehehe:

[Convallaria]

Agreed. And the thing that makes it most difficult is that I'm leaving for University in 2 months, and no one wants to hire and train me just to have me quit. So of course I'm trying to avoid telling that to my potential employers, but I hate lieing... I know they'll lose money by training me, and then having me quit. *le sigh*

This is going to sound awful, but the key to getting it done is just to go out and do it! :lol: Don't make excuses, minimize distractions, and dedicate yourself for six to eight hours a day looking for a job. Keep a regular sleeping schedule, as though you were working. You may be unemployed, but you have a job: finding a job. If you treat it like work and do it as though you have a boss standing over your shoulder, then you should land a job in no time.

Good luck! I'm off to submit some resumes myself. We're in quite the same boat... ;) I also have a lazy streak that runs a mile wide if I let it.

That's what I'm off to do today. Bleh. I just hope I can find something I don't utterly despise. I wish you luck! :hugz:

I guess I'm just not taking it seriously because it will only be for 2 months. I need to see it as employment, no matter how long it is for. thanks for the motivation!
