Thinking about getting a job... looking for advice.

hey good for you, koopa. i remember an aunt of mine saying 'it's good for kids to have jobs because it builds character'. I didn't appreciate at the time but now I am sure she was right. kid or adult, I think you'll benefit from trying this.

Advice.. 2 things..

don't worry about being awful at interviews. No one is innately good at interviewing for jobs. It takes practice to develop those skills. And, honestly, nobody is has less skill at it than me and i still manage to get hired. The key is to just go to as many interviews as you can get and grind out those super-awkward x minutes. keep at it and eventually you will find a job.


Second,, forget trying to do something you love for now. Just try to do something otherwise you might end up never doing anything. Be open to trying new things.

IMO trying to find a job is a success in itself, whether you succeed in finding employment or not. Good luck, man.

Edit: I meant to post this link to a thread in a subreddit that might actually be helpful.

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the advice people are offering in this thread. I have read all of it, and all of it has been useful. I just haven't felt comfortable enough to post lately, and today really isn't an exception.

Thank you for your insight!
