Hello,

I got a job as a receptionist when I was 21. I had no experience whatsoever and just knew they weren’t gonna hire me, but they did, so keep trying. I had bad social anxiety back then too. It isn’t easy, but you have to be BRAVE. Take life one day at a time and start to set short term goals. For instance, ‘I will apply for X amount of job this week’. Or ‘The next time I have an interview, I will take deep breaths and say positive things to myself before I go’. It will be a process, but you will get better with time. I had to work on myself everyday to get better. Eventually, I gained confidence, so the work was worth it. Good Luck! 🙂
