Answer 1

Chill down.
Sit down and do a personal SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis. List out your:

Strengths include ur skills, abilities, etc.

Weaknesses include ur inabilities, the things that ur not so strong (be honest!)

Opportunities include the fields of work which can take you in (like industries, size of business, type of work - team or individualistic, over the phone or in person, etc.), ur areas of interest, the availability of jobs in ur area of interest / proficiency.

Threats: which might cause u pain if taken (like dislike to working hours, type of workplace, etc.)

Also, list out the things that interests you (not temporarily, but should give you a great satisfaction feeling), and the things that ur proficient in.

These might not match, but take the best field that does not irritate you, but at the same time you are proficient in and can learn a lot from.

Choose an organisation that encourages learning process and moulds the employees growth forever (the ones who care for their employees).

Also, more importantly, make friends at ur workplace to make sure you do not get that robotic feeling of run-in-the-mill. Relationships, Learning, Work Satisfaction and Patience are the important factors of the success in any job.

Hope this helped.

I think you should just go by what u have already learned because i was the same way my first time working at a rest.... and my second job it got better every thing was great so just take what u done learn and go with that. you will succeed. Good Luck!

Answer 3

You should be fine. retail is a whole different playing field. Customers are not as demanding, and you will be trained. You will be fine after a week. If you survived Fast Food, you can survive retail. (The worst customer is a hungry customer.)
Good luck Hon and congrats on the new job!

Answer 4

Can they give you some time to go on a till out the back of the shop (for practice), before you work on the shop front? They do this in Tesco and Asda.
