Anxiety about getting a job

I have SAD social anxiety disorder and i have anxiety about getting a job i have anxiety about even going out in public...or other anxieties even for small things like walking down stairs....so yes its normal

Try going to the unemployment office. They offer free worksops and guidence about exactly these kinds of problems. Even of you've never had a job! I learned slot from them when I was young and still know how to write a kick ass resume and application.

My first job was as a tradeshow model, i took it despite having anxieties about my looks and height and the fact that honestly I'd never ever worked before. They hired me because of my personality and the fact that I learn and oick up things pretty easily. Just step out of your comfort zone , maybe a bit of the unknown will help you get over your inscurities. You're a woman, you're powerful and beautiful. make use of it

If you haven't worked before - that's okay. Yes, as Squeegela said, they're looking for volunteering, babysitting and things. Including after school activities. Put that down.

I'm in my upper 20's, unemployed and putting in applications everywhere.. approx 200 in the last three months. The job market is bad but you can still find work, just be confident and positive.

Also, I am a manager of a large chain of stores. When I'm hiring, I look for availability, creativity, and past experience. I count volunteering as experience and have even hired someone who only had experience babysitting! It's all in how u "sell" yourself. If u tell me what skills u gained while babysitting instead of whining abou how much u hated it, iwould prob hire u. Good luck! This part of job searching sucks!!! ;(

I've been having the same problem. I just don't know what kinds of things to put on an application since I have never worked before. Plus it seems kind of pointless for a seventeen year old to apply for a job at the moment because, like you said, so many older, more experienced people are out of work and looking for jobs as well. :/

I have the same problem too.

what to put on your application? You know, your blood type, favorite soda, what baseball team you cheer for, who your first crush was...you know things that are important.

What they ask is a test to see how much BS you're full of nothing else.
