Something else that I think helps is if they see how long you stay at jobs and you don't just job hop. I know the place I'm at right now we've been open almost 2 years and I don't even know how many people we have gone through just in my section. Some people last a day or so or maybe even a month or two. I'm 1 of maybe 10-12 people still left from when we first opened. It's a pain to waste time training people that don't last very long.

agreeing with what Zeria says about personality. experience is great and all, but i've always had the feeling that personality matters just as much if not more.
|
Personality is key indeed, but sometimes there will be those employers that disregard personality and just go for experience :(
|
Both are important but personality is moreso to me u dont smile during interview why tf do i want u doesn't matter experience
|
Yeah, unfortunately it's really hard for even some of my friends to land or keep a job, simply because they don't make enough eye contact, or talk enough. :(
You really do have to push yourself and punch your comfort zone in the face to get hired and keep something, sometimes. |
I have difficulty making eye contact at times :( ngl
|
I find it very hard to smile in general :(
|
personally I’d rather that employers not put so much stock in personality, or at least that they lower their expectations a bit in general
like, I don’t exactly have the personality that everybody loves and I’m just asking for enough money to live in something better than a cardboard box without having to put in a disproportionately large effort in a first world country =[ |
I also think that companies should help their employees do better. So if someone isn't good with talking or making eye contact then work with that person to do better. I know for me I can be a bitch sometimes and need to watch what I say but at times I may not realize it till someone points it out. And if I want to move up to Supervisor I need to learn how to talk and what to say.
|
thank goodness i never made it to supervisor at my last job because that would've been terrible
i dont envy their jobs at all |
My workplace has definitely worked with me since I started. I used to be more shy, and not always the best with talking, and now I have what's practically a management position. So I do wish for others who aren't the best with people / don't talk a whole lot to keep their heads up! Sometimes, you can get more comfy somewhere and open up a bit more.
Though, I do know it's rough, I have some coworkers who still struggle after a couple of years, but in their defense, they always have said they don't care for small talk and niceties. LOL |
I have a slow start, but generally get along with anyone... just so happens that almost every coworker i had did not share a single interest with me lol
|
yeah I was so used to not making eye contact that I still find myself sometimes looking down at a person's mouth rather than their eyes when they talk to me
fortunately I catch myself fast and look up, lol :x |
I feel like if you work hard your job will be more willing to work with you when something happens. Now if you're lazy and don't do your job then why should we work with you.
|
my previous job was quite cooperative with me requesting days off etc.
|
Not to copy Bellossom Boi, but I need to study too. I've been a lazy butt.
That, and I haven't posted on this thread in a while. |
studying is important :p
|
hello dcc
what's the haps |
i get off of work soon!
|
I got an dentist appointment tomorrow very early
I will not survive |
An early dentist appointment beats having one in the afternoon, IMO. especially if you are the first patient of the day :>
|
there is some truth in that ngl :P
|
Some truth i agree there.
(And also just to put it out there on the conversation above smiling is the #1 thing bc even if you cant make eye contact or have trouble speaking smiling is frankly a must in customer service especially fast food unfortunately. Even i have trouble looking at customers still but smiling does wonders at the very least. Its the easiest thing to pretend to do over eye contact anyway :x ) |
i just rely on my sense of humour and energy to hopefully make the interviewer laugh
lightening the mood does wonders in almost every interview i've had. |
A good sense of humor is always good. You can never go wrong with that.
|
I have to agree. Not sure if this is relevant but when you find yourself laughing off things that used to give you negative emotion, life just gets a little bit easier.
|
If anything it makes you able to shrug things off a little better i guess.
|
I asked a girl out and got slammed with a massive snow shovel AMA
|
Where did the snow shovel come from?
Are you doing alright? |
how should I know where it came from it came from downtown nowhere right on my head
i feel betrayed |
hey dcc what's up, anything new with you guys today?
|
Same ol same ol here. Still figuring out what im gonna do about this anxiety its been much worse lately???

I feel you Ash. I've been snapping at people a lot more lately, so we can relate with anxiety and stress. Stay strong my friend.
|
:why: is me rn
|
:rowlyikes: is perpetually me
|
:rowlyikes: is me when I play competitive video games
even though im 100% sure thats everyone observing me aswell |
😵 Me with how work and life is going. xD
|
👿 This thing......this is the DEVIL! Well everyone is posting emojis why not me?!
I'm devilishly addicted to my Switch Lite. I'm going through withdrawal symptoms send help. |
help is not avalible at this time please try again later
|
Oh dang it. *eye twitch*
|
unluko
|
Thank god I have 2 days off and I can just relax.
|
i got rejected on the very last day before I was sure I had a job and im back to square one 🙃
|
That's really sucky. You'll get something better though.
|
at this point I highly doubt it as so far ive had 0 luck in that regard.
|
It's all valuable experience for your next interview - you'll get there eventually.
|
interviews arent even a problem anymore, i've had like 50 this year alone ^^"
life just flips the bird to me at every opportunity I surrender to thee, supermarkets |
Wow, the forum formatting is weird on mobile and why do people have signatures for avatars.
|
idk what you're talking about. are you referring to post flairs?
|
New PC is very, very confusing sometimes.
|
not as confusing as New Twitter though
that is one giant mess |
new pc didn't take that long to get used to. kinda forgot what using old pc was like somewhat lmao
|
I haven't really been on PC enough to get used to new PC, and I don't want to explore the new features like postbits because I can't design and I'd only mess it up. xD
|
I'm to lazy to try and design my postbit.
|
How was the old PC'S interface? Also, I like a lot of signatures here, they're very nice, especially the one above me.
|
if you change your forum skin to say... Midnight Misty, that was essentially how PC used to look before going back to this new style. and even before then, PC had a more, vbulletin-y kind of look.
Spoiler:
The above image is how PC used to look for quite a while before going into a more, semi-modernish design below: Spoiler:
there was some more attempts to make PC more visually appealing, too: Spoiler:
and this: Spoiler:
so yeah, pc went through quite a lot of changes in the older interface while this newer one was in development |
I like the second variation the most.
|
There’s shops in the Art Studio for those who want a post flair but don’t feel like making one themselves. :)
|
I wouldn't want to bother anyone. I do enough of that just by being here. xD
|
Hello! Have a good day, reader.
|
You as well!
|
Dang....haven't posted here in a while. o_o; I slept most of the weekend but hey, what's the difference between this and my "average" weekend? o_O;
|
i slept for most of today tbh, felt great.
|
work was decent. managed to keep my anxiety on the lower end for most of the day til the end so i suppose it's time for sleep when that happens.
|
I wanted to reach through the phone and choke this lady because she called about wanting to exchange an inflatable for 200 tickets which isn't a lot. I told her we technically don't do refunds or exchanges because we don't know what you've done to it once you've left. Once I spoke with my GM and told her she could come in with in the next day or so and she told me she couldn't because of her holiday or whatever. She said if she didn't come before the end of the year then don't worry about it.
My thought is...is if it's THAT much of a deal that you have to call and complain and argue about it but yet you're not going to come right away to fix it then why bother calling at all. I mean that's like me complaining about $5 and want something done about it but I'm not going to come right away. |
ah yes. my favorite people. though most of my phone calls end with "okay what's your name so we can replace your order next time--" "i'm at work" "--you come through whether it's today or tomorrow or next week" like damn let me finish my sentence first?
|
Or the ones who want to speak to the Manager or GM and they tell them the exact same thing you just told them and they're like Okay no problem. You stand there like WTF what I wasn't good enough. There's the door BYE!
|
As the GM of my store I'm the one that they want to speak to but yes most of the time I do end up telling them the exact same thing that my employee told them which does result in what you just said.
|
I just hate that kinda crap. I mean if didn't know what I was talking about I wouldn't be here much less be a Lead.
|
I feel like every day is a saturday now T__T
|
I wanted today to be a friday but then I realized it's Monday

I have a band thing tomorrow night, 50% wants to go only cause we worked so hard and friends and getting out of the house. The other 50% wants to just veg out with the 3DS and Switch, maybe draw some 'mons. I'm being picked up at 10:30pm tomorrow night.
Idk why, but lately, the noise from the instruments have been really bothering me, especially the drums. There were times I had to leave the room during the rehersal and sit on the floor with my hands over my ears. A specific teacher literally had to keep me company for a good 30 minutes right after my panic attack. What's GOING ON?!?!?!?!?! THIS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!!!!!! |
I believe it's either that something is wrong with your ears, they play really awful or it's something mental as well. Though I think it's recommendable to take a break from the band if you keep having the same problem and look for help in that matter before it gets worse.
|
Cubie is right. Check if you can perform with the band, if not, take the break you need. Consult someone wise, if you feel like doing so, who knows, it might help.

Okay, first of all, about "not being able to handle band" or "taking a break from the band" well, there's a huge trip with the band coming up on November 13th-17th. NO way in heck i'm missing it. However...I shouldn't be telling you guys this, but after November 17th, I MIGHT be going into a...place (can't tell you what it is yet sorry) to help my current state of mental health. No it is NOT a hospital so get that out of your head. More details to come. I really want to do this though. I need a break from...life. You guys are really nice to me, and PC is like a second home to me, so when the time comes, I promise i'll let you know.
As for the ear protection thing, i'll totally consider it. |
interview was weird, but i think i did ok. i'll most likely hear back from my staffing agency, but if not, then it's back to the drawing board.

Hey guys....I forgot to tell you something. I GOT A STREET PASS IN 3DS TODAY! Seriously, it was a tall girl mii in pink with brown hair and devil horns. Her name was "Painting" or something like that, and when my mii greeted her, she was like "Paint my face". Also, she likes cats. She was playing Pokemon Shuffle.
But the weird thing was her creator...the creator of this mii...was...Palamon *gasp* Does Palamon live by me cause that'd be creepy! If it's not who I think it is, then so so so SORRY to point you out! EDIT: Okay it wouldn't be "creepy", it'd be cool actually. |
Nobody would post in an AMA I made, so I think I'll pass. xD
I've not had a street pass in yeeeeaaaarrrrrs ;-; |
