Would you hire......?

Question

Would you hire someone who is shy first, but once I've been in the office for a while, I warm up to people. Would you hire me? At first I am very self conscience of my tasks and responsiblities, I tend to tell myself that something is too hard for me when in reality it's just that I am scared of liking my job tooo much. ( if that makes any sense to you. lol) would you still hire me????

Thanks, and God Bless!

Answer 1

I've seen several of your questions, and I've noticed a common thread. I think you view shyness as some sort of deficiency, and it's just not. Yes, it can make an interview more difficult for both parties, but if you believe you can do the job, the shyness may just come across as quiet confidence! Smile, make eye contact as much as possible (even if you have to look at the spot between their eyebrows more than actually directly in the eye), and answer the questions to the best of your ability.

I've interviewed dozens of people, and I have yet to sit through a "perfect" interview. I don't expect to be perfect in my questioning, nor do I expect the interviewee to have a perfect answer always at the ready. So be yourself! If you want to take a moment to think about an answer, say so! If you get tongue-tied and want to back up, laugh and tell the interviewer you'd like to press rewind and start over. Look at each interview as an opportunity to get better at presenting yourself--not the only chance you'll ever, ever have to be perfect.

You can do this.

Answer 2

if you're trying to proove to someone that you should have been hired but you weren't this is not the way.

i would start not being shy and practice in front of a mirror talking to people or something.

eventually you will get the hang of not being shy. I work at an american eagle outfitters store and I have the fun job of teaching new employees what to do. Some are very shy at first but they all get better.

Answer 3

Yes, i would hire you. People who are very self conscious tend to do a better job, as they are more aware of what others think of them, and so strive to do the best job possible. The more confident a person is can cause complacency within a job.

Answer 4

I think you should work on your self confidence as much as you can. I think it will enhance your marketability. Most interviewers, I don't think, keep in mind that the person in front of them isn't acting like they will six months into the job.

If you adjust your "self talk" (get The Self Talk Solution by Shad Helmstetter) to tell yourself that you're good at x, y and z and that you are great at interpersonal relationships, you're bold and outgoing and that you deserve to have a job you love. After a period of time of doing that (and catching yourself with negative self talk), your brain will begin to believe it and you'll begin to act more that way.

Answer 5

prob not, i dont understand the whole too scared of liking ur job too much. You have to be confident in yourself. It will show in your work, and people liking u. I have a similar promblem, i am rather shy at first, but I have learned the these people dont know me so i have to sell myself or just smile alot,lol! Good luck with a job!

Answer 6

Working in the Fortune 500 in management, I can see where some managers don't hire people like you! They are afraid that people who don't talk don't take risks, don't ask for direction when needed and frequenltly miss deadlines.

For me, I kinda like a blend of people. Some of the quietest people I know are the most intelligent, and most creative.

Answer 7

i think u should interview for a job and work at a job a little like u are over qualified for it. make the best impression possible. fake it till u make it. if u came in quiet with ur head down and sad looken NO i would not hire u. BE CONFIDENT

Answer 8

If you showed me you were a sincere person, the fact that you seemed shy wouldn't hurt you.
Can I depend on you? If "yes' you 're in the running/ Very much so.
