Job orientation tomorrow, nervous

Hey guys,

I have job orientation tomorrow at 2. I’m gonna be a dishwasher. Obviously not a very fancy job, but I guess it’ll be nice to start feeling productive again.

Anyways, I’m very nervous. I know I can handle the dishwashing no problem, but I’m worried about interacting with my coworkers. Ever since I’ve been dealing with sz it’s been tough for me to socialize. I am not good at contributing to or keeping a conversation. I don’t want to come across as being socially inept or weird :frowning:

Good luck with your job orientation. I’m sure it’ll go well.

You can always just tell your co-workers that you’re kinda shy if you’re worried that people might wonder why you’re quiet.

People at my jobs quickly find out I’m shy. But I’ve been known to talk with people depending on the type of job it is and other factors that put me at ease. At jobs that I wouldn’t talk to many people I still managed to do a good job and stay for years there.

I agree that maybe mentioning that your shy might help. I hope it goes really well for you.

When I dishwashed in high school, hardly anyone talked to me. The washer is usually in a corner that you’ll have all to yourself.
