As Salamu Alaykum brothers and sisters, my title gives way to what I am about to say.
The story is basically I am 21 years old, missed out on 2 years of Uni so that is not an option here in the UK, I have to pay for the first year if I want to go back. However, to do this I really need a job and the fact is I have been applying like crazy, updated CV, everything and even had a few interviews. The issue with me is that my confidence is next to none and I get really anxious around people, sometimes it gets to a point on a train when I just can't be on there because I feel like people are looking at me. As you can see I have communication issues and if I was to talk to you like this in real life everything would be a stuttering mess to be honest and I really don't know what to do at this point. I have been on job seekers and that is just terrible for like a year now. It gets me by but it doesn't secure my future. So I guess my questions are:
1. What do I do? Where do I start? I have A-levels which are quite good but no experience at all in paid work only 3 work experience placements for 2 weeks or so.
2. How do I get over this anxiety? I hate this and wish it would go away, I can't stand being socially anxious when I know the right words to say in an interview yet I flop.
As a side note, if any of you have anything going at the moment, please let me know, I am willing to work very hard, anything is better than the £200 a month I am getting right now from Job Seekers. I am knowledgeable in quite a few areas such as business, marketing, telesales, IT and Law.
Thank you very much for reading.
