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 :(
 
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.

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.
 
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
