I just applied for a low tier wagie job (some european groceries chain, think WalMart) and my throat is dry and I'm shiddin' and bissin' myself after NEETing for 6 years intermittently.Despite being a pussy that gets scared at something that everyone else does on the daily I wanna believe this is going to start getting me out of my rut (I'm 29).Anything you can tell me to prepare myself in case they do take me? For an interview at the least, whether they'll actually hire me remains to be seen. I have pretty much no working experience
>>34447935Just act like a normal person (notice I didn't say be yourself it's a bit different). Those types of Carrefour, Lidl and other stores are populated with students that are in part time jobs and losers like you that are usually insufferable (especially the girls). Everyone will slowly get better ranks but you, it'll make you bitter creating a self fueled hate loop where nobody likes you and you like nobody until you eventually get fired for a little mistake. Enjoy :)
Bros... They got back to me, I'll be interviewed tomorrow. Oh shit! Oh fuck! How am I going to explain the giant gaping void in my resume?>>34448015Jeez anon it can't be that bad, right? Unless you're talking from experience
>>34447935I got a wagie job cause while I don't need the money, I am a 27 year old autistic virgin and thought a customer facing job will help me be more normal and social and shit and at least in my experience, it doesn't really do much.As far as the actual job part goes I won't tell you if you can or can't do it cause frankly even an actual monkey could do even six figure jobs with two weeks of training so you shouldn't worry about that.What I think interests you since you're so nervous is the social aspect. On one hand it IS good cause I get to talk to people and I do mostly fine at it and it feels nice whenever anybody compliments me on doing something right, on the other hand, trying to force myself to be normal and do small talk and jokes with coworkers is very, very taxing on me and I feel utterly drained as soon as I get home, plus on the off chance when I do something wrong/ say something awkward that shit sticks with me and I get to think about it weeks later. And I haven't really made any friends outside of work hours/ gotten a gf and that's not really gonna change anytime soon so idkI hope all your coworkers are recently single BPD sluts who'll jump on your dick and outgoing chads who'll take you under their wing and it all works out for you, anon.
>>34448749>I hope all your coworkers are recently single BPD sluts who'll jump on your dickHaha... Yeah... About that...But seriously, I don't need the money either since I'm a spoiled daddy's boy but I've actually gotten tired of NEETing it out, and want to hope there's more to life than staying cooped up in my room all day.I understand completely with the putting up the facade part, and you know what we're never going to be normal, but so long as we keep that link tethered, we can still be part of humanity and not be cut out from it entirely. We're human, we're social creatures, it's a physiological need, human contact, people like us simply need less of it but we require it all the same. Proud of you that you're still going out of your way to just be around people even if not a lot, I hope I'll get to do the same no matter the difficulties turbo autists such as ourselves may face
>>34449176>Haha... Yeah... About that...Anon, if you're a filthy sexhaver and you're still making that big of a fuss over getting a job you must really be a pussy. You'll be fine, man.
Stop the showboating and just do the job the best you can.
>>34448322Gaping hole in resume? Just tell them that you have personal reasons for it. It's a grocery store, they ain't going to be picky. As long as you're not a criminal, and sometimes even if you are, they'll hire you.
>>34448749Customer facing didn't make me more normal, but sales and customer service did. Part of training was learning empathy and making sure we're nice. If you treat other people like they are a customer, and actually have a desire to be nicer, you eventually just start being nicer. I was talking for probably 6 hours a day with 1 hour for 2 15 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch and that other hour probably spent between calls over the course of the day. When you talk that much, talking just gets easier. I struggle with small talk though.As far as saying something awkward. The only one who remembers it is you usually. Think about how many people you've ever known and how many of those people have said or done an awkward thing that you still remember. There may be people you remember who did stuff that you didn't like, but just awkwardness? Who cares? And if you remember something awkward about someone, do you still even know that person?
explain gaping holeyou>cared for your elderly grandparents, they needed help>you were abroad traveling, meeting family abroad and living w them for 6 years helping them construct a house>you had health issues and couldnt work (50/50 gamble, they are not allowed to ask but can drop you becaus e no1 wants a tardo who doesnt show up to work lmao)idk be creative>t. neeting for 8,5 years now, probably not going to chance that anytime soon
