I am looking for a job , but am i getting slightly discouraged?

i want to get a job asap . because of family issues , my father tried to stab me with a knife yesterdy and they ( the cops ) arrested him . as of now he can't come near me or physically intimidate me . he got served .


My immediate problem is i need a job . but as i am looking i am worried if i won't be able to find any jobs that i like , or quite honestly i can't believe i will get a job . because of constant emotional abuse from my mom saying ( Get a job , get a job , look at other kids , they dn't do anything like you , look at ur cousins they are better , ask them to help you , get a job - first of all she pushed me into this degre , i never wanted to becoem an engineer , but now it has come as a help for me because i can make some money and move out )





but yet i am discouraged for some unknown reasons .


even while i am sitting here in this library near home and trying to find a job ?

Boy, you certainly don鈥檛 have an easy family to deal with. But although your mom is wrong holding other people鈥檚 job before you, finding a position seems to be a good way out for you 鈥?and you obviously already agree, otherwise you wouldn鈥檛 have asked this question





First, don鈥檛 just look for jobs that would fit your education or eventual degree. You can postpone this until later. For now, just see that it鈥檚 adequately paid, fits into your schedule and is useful for you at least at some level. This could be because you learn to coordinate with other people (teamwork), how to coach other people, how to stick to an assignment (dependability), or even just improve your physical traits, etc.





So do some tutoring, mow lawns, restock products at a grocery store, do some filing at a professional service organization, help neighbors with their computer, help out in a library, etc.





And, get some support: ask your friends, relatives and teachers, scan newspapers, go to a job fair, use and expand your social network.





Good luck
Reply:First time job jitters are very common. Find a company you would ike to work for and ask them if you could intern for 3 months. It will give you the confidnece you are lacking at present and experience and references to find a job that pays. Good Luck.
Reply:I'm guessing your young since this is your first job, you need to accept that your first job is probably going to be something you hate, mine was to sit and sort plastic into boxes on my own for sometimes 6 hours at a time, I hated it but you have to start somewhere, get a job that matches your skills and don't aim too high because then you'll just keep getting turned down and feel disheartened.


If you find the idea of a job difficult then trust me once the pay checks are rolling in you'll find it a lot more enjoyable and motivational!
