Anyone else scared of getting a job?

I'm very nervous and truly terrified about even filling out the application. I need to get over this.

Anyone else experience this or something similar?

Nope. Jobs are given to you by people. They aren't going to eat you or kill you.

Your first job experience is always a little scary. Once you get hired though you get used to it pretty quickly. Then your life will flash before your eyes until you're old and can eventually retire (assuming your generation is able to retire).

Yes, I have a phobia of work. Unfortunately I'm addicted to money.

not me...I'm kind of scared of losing it right now...

Try not to work yourself up so much as this is something that just about everyone experiences to some extent (some are more nervous than others). Believe me, I know it's easier said than done, but you really should try and be rational about your nervousness. The worst that can happen here is that you do not get the job, which sucks but isn't the end of the world. Also, try not to be nervous about being nervous. :)

People are afraid of my job.

nervous is fine

but scared? Jobs are generally fun, at least in my experience.

So while you should be a little nervous, you should be looking forward to the opportunity. And you should be hoping you get a job in this economy, they are tough to come by.

I was until I had my first job interview. Sadly, I did not get that job but oh well.

I can understand you being nervous about the whole prospect. The only thing you really have to fear is getting caught up in a job that keeps you from pursuing your dreams. After a few years of that I won't blame you if you quit/get fired.

you mean the prospect of new responsibilities and duties and if you don't fulfill them you will be held accountable for it? What could be scary about that? :P

No, it's great experience. I was very nervous when I first started my job though :P

State life guard?

Why would you be scared? Unless you are going to be a gangster which I don't recommend.

I was never scared of it, I was just disappointed as I knew I was signing away my free time. \

The only time I ever got real nervous was when I was applying for internships. That can be scary. I got one though.

You mean they're given by beings other than people, or that they are going to eat or kill you? :o

I'm just scared about not being able to get a job due to the economy. :(

There's no reason to fear it. You have to get a job to be successful. There's no reason to fear success.

No i didn't feel that way about it..

I felt a bit scared when asking for an application and turning it in, but I'm not scared of the job.

A lot of jobs are trial and error. Just remember to learn from your mistakes. Notepads are helpful. :)

Are you scared of money too?

I'm hopelessly addicted to moneydarkspineslayer

I don't understand what you're so terrified about. Don't you need money to exist?wstfld
