Getting a job scares me.

hey i just graduate and waiting for result. i am also feeling scare on life changing and even had the thought do not want to face it, run away from it. this is really uncomfortable and i wish to stay at home for all time to wait for money drop. but back to real life, this is our live, we need to face it so try to solve it!

Instead of looking at the negative side, just look on the brighter side of graduating. You may not experience those concerns and may have a pretty rewarding career life. Just imagine if you have a job, you can set your goals and achieve them. It sure is frightening in the beginning but once you are hired and started working, you may meet new friends that may help you to get started. Good luck with the new journey that you're going to travel as a graduate!

Welcome to the world. Being an adult is not easy at all. It may look like they are having fun, but back in their minds is the responsibility they are thinking about. You will do fine at a new job, just don't get into the gossip and saying what another person said. Keep your personal life sacred and not let anyone else into it. Good Luck.

Sorry to hear that, it's not easy for everyone, it can be nerve wrecking to know we are being watched, judged and we might even hear a no. Try meditation and relaxation, and breathing exercises once you are there ready for being interviewd. Hope you find nice good jobs that makes you happy.

Hello nehalkuul, I know exactly how you feel. Right now I'm a Junior and constantly think about adult hood. Trust me it is overwhelming and frightening. As goes for the work world, don't worry about that too hard. The only way you will deal with office politics is if you hold a office job period. Office politics typically happen in the higher up level like C.E.O and executives. It all depends on where you work and what you plan on doing during your career. Everything that you basically described is who they represent on TV, sure some of it is real but a majority of it is over exaggerated. I work right now part time and I have many supervisor over my head who act like real people. They aren't and out to get me and are really trying to help me out. After all there was a time they were in my position once before climbing up the chain. I can't say I have a full experience yet but I do get a taste of it everyday when I help out at home and have to be the second head of the house. Looking for job is hard and most people are just looking out for themselves and of course chasing after a buck. You have to take baby steps and establish things one thing at a time. I believe you'll fine because your already thinking about it. Remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Well it might be a frightening thing at first but once you get out there you see it isn't that bad. Then once you get a interview just stay confident and respectful. If you don't who would want to hire you. Just ask your self this. Why would I hire myself?

Yes, getting a good job is scary. When looking for something no matter what type of job you are looking for, there is always a million other people applying for the same job it seems so learning to sell yourself and be the type of employee the other company is looking for. But personally it also depends on what you are looking for and what you are also willing to accept most that counts.

just enjoy being a newbie, you'll get along as you get old with the job. think of your first time getting into college. it will be just the same as that. in order to prepare, you have to learn how to respect seniorities, respect to coworkers, company policies, and company background (you have to research about this) then, learn your work, master your craft and evrything will be alright. find also a friend you can get along with.

hi nehalkuul! How are you? Getting a job is really tough... You need to impress your interviewer. You need to project good impression and stand out among the rest of the applicants. It is like going inside the needle's hole. You will be filtered, either you win or lose the job. I agree, it a real nervous stage... I suggest you carefully choose the company first.

not me... i couldnt wait to start looking for a job right after graduation but now that i've worked for years im tired of it. you're right. sucking up to your boss is one of the worst things of having a job. it's so much better to have your own business.

Yes, it's true. Especially after my further studies, I also get frighten. When I get a job, what type of boss will I ended up to. If nice one, it's okay. If not a nice one, I'll be finished.

Hey. I'm not here to scares you, but I've been in search for job almost a year now after graduation. In my opinion, there's lots of jobs available, but usually it depend on your choice, what you want, and what you can. What happens usually is graduates, like us, will only want to get a job equivalent to our qualification, right? I admit, i don't want to work as janitor. But sometimes you have to do what you don't want. Fortunately for me, my parent spoil me. But for some others, they have to get any work they can to pay for bills etc.

What you feel now is normal to everybody. It's another stage of your life already and you will be thinking a lot too whether you will be a successful worker after your studies. It's another phase of challenge in your life. It would be a bigger responsibility to face ahead with full of hesitations and doubts. But for me, just be what you are, be confident and honest to yourself. In that way you will be easily understood by the people surround you. You don't need to pretend that you know everything even if not just to get impressions but try to have the sense of openness and willingness to learn from others too. In that way it would be easy for you to work with your co-workers and as well as with your boss. Mind you, one day you will just notice that you made it and thumbs up to yourself.

I will also soon finish graduation, and I also have sometimes this kind of anxities from the same reasons as you. :) Still, I will continue continue with my studies for another 2 years, to have also a master degree (you can't do almost anything without, at least in my country) and than I will think again. But what I hope in my case and I recommand in yours is to try to find another option. Having a normal job with a boss and an office is not the only option. You can do something on your own, so you will be able to arrange your shedule and your goals as you feel appropriate. But you must have a strong will to overcome dificulties and be a good proffesionist. You can start a business if you have some money to start or a great idea, you can write or handmade, you can be sell agent on your own. Well, you can do a lot of things that will certainly work if you are good and motivated enough, without following the old, classical recipe of life.

You were just thinking all the negatives as soon as you step on another phase of your life.... Think of how its great you get to meet new people... Getting a job is a challenge... Your going to have an obligation... You get to be independent...

Don't be scared my friend. Be confident and make good on your on the job training. Or you can try to enhance your different office skills, like your knowledge on how those office computer techniques.

Don't ever be scared of getting a job instead be scared of not getting a job.Having no job at all after graduation really qualified you as a person who hasn't learn in school.Moreover you will be considered as a waste in the society.

It isn't always that easy. But once you got the hang of it, I swear it's so much fun. Just have to focus on one thing first that is to find a job of your choice. Once you have that accomplished then you may continue on how to learn the basic things you need to know about your job. As long as you know how to carry yourself and know where to place yourself there shouldn't be any problem with the people you're going to work with.

And Yeah, Good Luck!!! :)

Ok so I understand what your going through, but just like when you were leaving high school and preparing for college its the same process at work here. Life is a series of obstacles that you either learn to navigate or that you let beat you left and right. Getting a job isn't as awful as many make it sound. Once you understand your duties and work your butt off you should be fine. I basically see a job as a stepping stone. A job to me is preparation for the big leagues, because if you are to do something remarkable in life you've got prepare. I work as a bank teller and I deal with the same types of things you speak of in your question, but you know why it doesn't bother me, because I have specific goals that I've set for myself in life and goals that I've set for myself at work. What this simple means when a situation arises the I find to be unfavorable I look at it from this type of mindset " Does this Help me to get closer to my Goals" if not I eliminate it from my reality and never let it bother me again. No matter where you are in life your will have to deal with obstacles the question just becomes will you let it knock you down or will you get knocked down and get back up? Go For It!! You'll Be Fine
