Ok so i have had 3 failed attempts at getting a career and about to start number 4 (training as a chef at the restaurant I have been working in for nearly 2 years). Each of my other failed attempts have ended in me loosing all self confidence, wanting to run away cry die or hide. How can I avoid this, I think I struggle to take constructive criticism (ie when I'm told I'm crap I take it to heart). I just have to see this through for 9months.
I believe in thinking positive. Everybody fails at something at least once in their lives. You just need to pick yourself up and try again. Take constructive criticism as a good thing and learn from it. Listen to what they tell you, and try not to do it in the future. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are good enough. You will always want to run away and cry unless you know you are good enough for yourself. I have dealt with low self esteem for years, and I finally realized that you need to love yourself, and feel confident with yourself before you can do anything truly.
lots of people fail multiple times before they find their place. you might want to see a therapist about this be aware of what kind of environment that you'll be in in the restaurant. there's a lot of criticism in some places whatever you do, don't work for gordon ramsey
3 failed career attempts! Thats not very many. Ive probably tried at least 15 different careers. Everything from wagon master to Insurance salesman to counsler, bartender and all kinds of min. wage part time jobs. Never thought of giving up and never really got depressed after losing the jobs. i look at it like its their loss or i didnt really like that career anyway. Time to move on to something better. The train conductor job was probably my biggest fail. Only because they call you any time and breathilize you i wasnt physically compatible at that time in my life. It took all those career fails to find my talents and what i meshed with well. Good luck, Follow your own inner voice and passion and the career will come.
Individuals have a dread of the unfamiliar and a few groups still are frightful of mental health and the humiliation it can cause inside their group. I can identify with this as having endured with repeating gloom and psychosis, I have defended my family to affirm the actuality my condition exists and additionally is nothing to stow away. The only thing is that start self motivating urself and if you are unable to do this then concern any Psychiatrist.
I hear ya... Can't count the number of jobs I've had. I feel like they just make me a larger person. It's never gotten me down.
FOCUS on this job and nothing else and if you are successful you will be able to use this method for other things in life.....
