Some people say they're shy but they're good at writing or speaking. But i'm the type of shy that doesn't know how to speak AT ALL.
That is, i get confused with what people say, and i get confused with what i try to say..so i get stuck and look like an a**.

Any tips for Jobs? I can do clerical stuff( where speaking is not required) but recently there are no cllerical type jobs at all.

job

its better to try to work against your fears you know. try to grow and not try to find a job that where you live life in a shell.

:P

you could take a job that requires work at a small company so then you get to be familiar with a few people

or you could take a job at a large company and just get to know people formally

i think most people are shy. they learn to fit in by just copying those around them, and through trial and error
by seeing what works

Cloudy actually makes a good point. From the time when I was little, till around 16 or so, I was painfully shy. But my first summer job was at a restaurant as a cashier, which forced me to overcome my shyness and force myself to talk to people. Without it I'd probably still be as shy as I used to be.

Consider whether perhaps it wouldn't be better to get a job that forced you to deal with your shyness. Even if you don't like the job (as I didn't really like mine), at least you can look back on it and feel like it caused you to grow in some way.

Mow lawn. Pick lettus.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't apply for those kinds of jobs..but I know that if i do, they wouldn't like me because i have a slow brain and i can't talk fast and my vocab is really low

autistic fail

mcdonalds...work the back

LOL. Damn that's some bull$hit hahahaha

wat is ur best skill?

life is about living, and learning and experiencing




if you go in thinking all negatives like this, it does no good

when you go into interview try to sound friendly and nice, you have a better shot that way
work on the things you can control

be positive. it doesn't matter where you are now. it matters where you want to go.

hold advertisement sign in the street is the best job for you...base on your criteria. lol

Custodian?

Library?

Also tedious, repetitive jobs that requires you to focus on your work.

yeah i'm shy also. i hate talking to ppl. i like minimum supervision jobs where you work independantly

Have you thought of getting treatment for anxiety or social phobia?
Plenty of books, sites and treatment options out there.

Running away from problems doesnt help. It will just make things worst in the long run. Dont waste your life by running away. Help yourself. One day you will look back at your life. Either you will regret it or glad you did do the things to make your life better.

stack pants at the gap

A coroner?

Tour guide or a low level employee for the local zoo, museum, or theme park.

I was going to say a beggar, but you're too shy for that also.




It's not such a bad job if you know how to survive on your own... or you could face reality and eliminate your fears.

accounting fits you well

You are really limiting yourself to all the possibility out there. Shy people aren't really respected in most corporation. They usually get look over for promotion and co-worker will take advantage of you since you are too shy to even speak up about it.

shy doesn't mean bad learn to ask intelligent questions and people will see you as the deep thinker type.

most jobs require team work, or some form of social interaction / ability to communicate.

you have to overcome this handicap.


:/


or find a way to compensate for it.
1. author = jd. salinger
2. playwright = author miller
3. internet mogul = usually requires you being a genius of some sort and partnered with someone who can speak for you
4. winning the lottery = pray a little and they buy a powerbowl ticket

my suggestion marry an outgoing women who can complement you

or maybe god made you shy for a reason, so you can learn to get over it

I think just build confidence for yourself then let it flow

I can relate. No, I do relate.
I'm too shy, but I try and do overcome that fear alot. =)
I know I'm not capable of jobs at fast-food restaurants due to my lack of slow understanding and speaking, but I know how to organize...wait, I'm messy, but not sloppy. haha And back rooms are no good for me. Don't even go there.
I tried numerous times asking for job apps. and openings at places I might thought were comfotable for me, but they friggin' took one look at me and said, "no." in a flat tone. wth?
Maybe because the way I looked.
A kid.
I did and do dress normal and formally or casually whenever.
Or they're being prejudice and think I won't be capable of doing something.
As of now, I'm just studying, but studying is doing me no good as well because I don't have a major in mind. And I'm just taking GEDS.
Hell, I even asked people I know if wherever they work at might accept newcomers and they might've thought I'm not capable because they would say flat out that either they're running slow (don't u need more ppl if you're running slow?) or they're full and don't need anyone right now. (note: they know me but not that well to judge me like that)
So, yeah any one care to suggest?

Wow!! A shy saleman or woman. Man, they can sell me anything. Just pick up a rock and...oh I forgot we did even get a chance. Oh...the irony of life.

librarian, working with children (shy ppl tend not to be shy around kids?), data entry, stuffing envelopes...

Hi Michiko (I'll just assume you're the Japanese lady used to work at the tutor center at ASU), uh yeah, to do all that stuffs you basically need to do alot of good stuffs for society as a whole or a nation and for the spirit too. Like stuffs that very few people can. For me, it is mathematics and the sciences. And ideas, you know stuff like that. You and your people work very hard becoming better and better (better than me-Talktohand ) [but there like alot of bad stuffs still there], and I am kind'a ashame but yeah... You know, I don't really know you, and think like that but there are people in this world who just judge other on look (forget about them .) You taught me something and not even know it.

Hey, I think I can tell a Ninja from a Samurai. Well, not really. I just assume there are good Ninja. But would like to stress that I do not belong to your stupid society so don't walk up to me and say weird as $hitz. I'll just think you're crazy or something. Ok

I had that happened to me before too, that same speech "were just real slow now and not hiring". Hunting for job especially during these rough economic times is difficult. I just got out of construction work for a while now..and am seeking while attending school. i know what you talking aboutz.


get that degree if u going to college. white collar jobs are definitely well worth it as i have worked all the crappy blue collar jobs lol

whats your age?

if you're in college.. please don't tell me you're that shy..

College doesn't change the shy guy.

anyways, i found some jobs recently and they were low jobs which i have no problem doing, but then it says "You have to be a good communicator and have superb people skills"

that's when i went "aahhhh F**k, here we go again"

I don't have those speaking skills AND they don't want to teach them to me so what the heck am i supposed to do.

hmm...i always thought data entry jobs were available??? i can do both but i prefer not to speak to customers and clients lol

data entry is not available. Data entry and filing have been incorporated into ADMIN ASSISTANT. WEll that's what i've noticed

They have also incorporated into Receptionist. So you'll find admin assist or reception who do data entry but not purely data entry jobs

Honestly, it is true that being shy is not a bad thing. Nevertheless, I would suggest for you to read some personal development books. Seriously, what's holding you back? What's making you shy? Should you really care what other people think? I am a shy person, as well, but I'm learning to overcome it. Let me know if you're interested in making a change; I can suggest some books for you.

bank ops

Could you tell me how I can get this kind of jobs?

I want to read the books, Could you suggest some for me? Thank you!

Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is a very popular one. When I first heard the title, I didn't like the sound of it because it sounded like it was manipulating people. However, I quickly found out it is definitely not like that at all. If you read it to truly learn to be more social (or less shy), you can achieve it. The catch is that you have to actually practice these "theories" by applying it when you are around friends, family, and especially strangers.

You may think it's a bit silly, but it has definitely changed my life. Just by simply being friendly with people and showing a genuine interest in them, I've met some wonderful new friends. There are even restaurant servers who have given me discounts and free desserts and other neat things, too. Ultimately, you just have to be willing to try and willing to make mistakes. If things don't go well, just ask yourself if they're going to be crying at your funeral when that day comes. If they're not, then don't worry about them!

By the way, that is awesome that you want to read!

never to shy against anyone or new , . . there can be deficiency of language skills . . then put on . .

computer programmer. Or stripper...

Well most of the jobs are for people who are outspoken and free going. You must know how to express yourself. Well if you are really looking for opportunities there are many opportunities online. I am not talking about scams. I am talking about doing freelancing. You can offer your services as a freelancer . You can set your prices and you can work on your timings. People are realizing the potential of making money online.

Don't listen to the mean comments. I can relate to your situation. It's not that I'm "shy" it's more like I'm anti-social to people I don't know. But the fact is, we just have to face our fears and push forward. Move forward little by little, it doesn't mean you have to go ga-ga for public speaking on stage right away

I used to be shy myself throughout school. but i have learned you must come out of the shell to get around life and speak up when something goes wrong. It's real life out there. well i'm still a lil shy when meeting strangers but then i get comfortable once I know them. my mom tried to convince me to go to boot camp one time but i said no i can deal myself. I posted a quote on my door about overcoming my shyness. i've changed over my course of lifetime once i hit nursing school. i held jobs dealing with office work at first which i didn't have to deal directly with customers. maybe you can try dong chat agent customer service. well hope that helps.

Find a hobby and turn it into a career. That will make you open up more because you will enjoy talking about it. If you like to race cars, you can work at a performance shop. If you like to draw, you can be a graphic artists. Don't just stick yourself in a job you arent fit for because being shy will make it 10x worst for you.

Janitorial service

the guys that come in and clean up offices at night, hospitals, schools, factories, etc need people like you, not much public speaking is necessary

well, you should try to change yourself a bit...you don't need to be a talk-active person, but try to speak-up your mind/idea first...then people will understand you...
