be more outgoing

Part of my interview required me to approach customers, ask if they needed anything, and then ask if they were interested in the store’s promotions for the day. Approaching strangers? Talking to them? And being almost gasp comfortable with it? Shocking.

Not only that, I felt more at ease talking with the manager than I thought I would be, I mean, I was nervous as heck, but I think I handled myself pretty well, a lot better than I managed before college.

In any case, as nervous as I was, she offered me the job. There’s hope for me yet :D maybe the key to not being so awkward is more experience being around people.

I’m so freakin awkward!
Goodness, whether it’s hanging around unfamiliar people to simple business calls, I either stumble over my words, word things strangely, or say strange things in general. At times I feel incapable of normal small talk.

I hoped I would have grown out of that awkwardness after high school, but here I am trying to find work, and I’m still strange.

Ahh…I’ve definitely gotten better. At least I’m not totally paralyzed to talk with strangers…just partially, aaand it’s awkward. I’m just hardly as in control of my nerves as I thought I would be by now.
