Did you get the job in the flower shop? How awesome is that?? You don't have to worry about getting any attitude from flowers!
Great job, you should be very proud of yourself for persevering
Keep us posted!! |

Actually no Panks. I did not get a job in a flower shop. I got a job working in an office that is the headquarters for a very large professional networking organization. Very laid back,casual, and all the ladies (3) are mom's too. I was pleased that one of the questions I was asked in the interview was if I was creative. Bonus!

I don't have a problem getting the job, it's staying that I am having a problem with other than other circumstances. I think part of the problem is feeling that I have to sell myself as everyone else does but inside afraid that I can't deliver once I get going.

Puffle, I can so relate to you. It's a self discipline issue. I have *no* self-discipline so my dh keeps me on the straight and narrow. I couldn't do it without him.
Anyway, I don't know how to tell you to get self discipline because I think either you have it or you don't. There's no magic formula. I think you have to get to the point in your life where you have no choice but to go to work or become homeless. Sometimes people cannot even do it then. I wish I had some wisdoom to share, but I am exactly like you are with jobs. Thank goodness for my dh that is all I have to say.

There are many, many ways in earning an income. You don’t need to do job that make you feel distressed. Find one that make you feel happy, discover your skills that are lying dormant for sometime. You only see your weakness, but never look at your strength. Just focus and think what other people see in you, are you good at rising children? A good cook? Pet lover? There are so many people out there that need extra hand, find them. You could have peek at my blog Extra Income , I hope it will give you some inspirations. All the best ! |
