I feel pretty much trapped in life, at this point. I realize I need a job, but I don't know where to even begin looking, and I mean that as in, looking for a job that suits me. I've tried a couple of 9-5 cashier jobs, they weren't for me. My first job was alright, but my boss didn't give me enough hours. It was like I would work 11 hours a week, and I need more money than what 11 hours provides.
The second job I had, was just a really, poor fit. I told them explicitly that I would do better as a cashier person, and they put me on the food staff, and then got mad, because I couldn't keep up with the other workers...as in I had no idea what I was doing, and even after I finally learned the ropes, and my productivity, quadrupled, they still fired me.
Why can't I do 9-5 jobs? I find them tedious, and boring. Also they always sound simple, and then aren't. It's like an ad will say; "Looking For Cashier!" and then the job description says that in addition to cashier duties, it also involves things like cleaning, carrying boxes, picking up the manager's dry cleaning, licking a dog's butt hole clean, counting backwards in German, while playing Scrabble in French, and a bunch of other, stupid bullshit, that should not be classified as "Cashier" if the description doesn't match the title, then the title should be changed. I don't like signing up to be a Cashier, and find out I'm also the stock-person, inventory manager, babysitter, IT technician etc. I'm exaggerating of course, but I think Iwakuians reading this get my point.
So what am I interested in? My passions? Well the truth is I have depression, and it makes it really hard for me to know exactly want I'd like in an actual job. I will however try...
I like artistic stuff, writing, drawing, painting, arts/crafts.
I am introvert, but I do like having someone to talk to. I'd prefer to work with an equal/friend, than an employer.
For a long time I wanted to be a writer, and then all of my real life, friends left me...and my self-esteem took a massive blow, and my mom never supported my dream of being a writer...so yeah.
I think honestly I could be a Youtuber, like I'm naturally talkative, tend to be quick witted etc, but again a lack of support in my home life, means I can't get that set up.
I can't do work that is "method" oriented. I hate that. I am very much a goal person. Something needs done, I do it, and as long as the end goal is right, I'm happy. I care more about the results of what's done, rather than the steps of how to do it. Now don't get me wrong, I do acknowledge that there are some things where you do have to be careful in how to do them. Obviously I'm not going to be like a construction worker, or an engineer.
I like cooking/baking, but I can't see myself working in a restaurant. I would get way too overloaded from all the people.
I love animals, very much.
I prefer to do my work by myself. I don't mind help, but I'm one of those quiet, diligent, workers. I'm like let me know what to do, and then get the heck out of my face, and let me do it. For me I prefer if my work partner is more someone I can chat to, while I'm working. I also tend to do my best work, when people aren't breathing down my neck.
I am a fast worker. I do NOT mean sloppy. I take pride in my work, and get fussy if something is off. Despite what method-oriented people think, I do want the results of my work to look good. I never half-ass anything. However, my point is I'm the sort who can get 5 things done, before someone else is halfway through 1 thing.
So uh yeah, please help, and like recommend jobs, and stuff like that. I'm very much lacking in direction right now, but I need to do something.
