If I’m hired I’ll be full-time sales in the Microsoft section of their hardware space.
What makes this a big deal is I haven’t worked since 2016. Suffering from mental illness (anxiety and panic disorder) and taking care of an elderly family member, I’ve been out of the workforce for 8 years.
I’m extremely nervous. I turned 41 last year, and I don’t want to be a NEET anymore. I’ve had nightmares about working again with all the stress and anxiety that comes with it, and now I’m thrusting myself head first into that reality.
I feel like being employed again will give me a huge boost in self confidence, but I’ve also never been this scared in my entire life.
Hey congrats! I worked seasonally at Best Buy a few times and am also recently out of a 3 year hiatus. It’s a good kind of nerve wracking, though.
I remember the best advice for me through the process of their digital training/ personality test is that they already have a specific answer in mind. There aren’t philosophical debates. They want to know that you understand it’s a business and that there is always a ‘better’ answer, so give them that answer.
(I e. If they ever say on a scale of 1-5, the answer is always 1 or 5. )
