Is It My Dyspraxia Or Not Earning Enough?

[abbeyleigh]

I really lack confidence and unable to do some of the work when I go to Monday to Friday jobs like admin etc. It's what I really enjoy but gutted I've failed in them.

[abbeyleigh]

Sorry not believing in myself

[naomi24]

You’ve got a job though, haven’t you?

[tiggerblue10]

How have you failed them? Did you get training, e-learning etc?

[abbeyleigh]

Yeah but not what I want to do. Some training but they thought I had more experience than I have or inpatient

[naomi24]

What are you doing now and what do you want to do?

[tiggerblue10]

What job would you like to do?

[abbeyleigh]

Receptionist or administrator

What do you do now, abbey?

[abbeyleigh]

Mcds

[THECORBYLOON]

Why did some employers think you are more experienced than you actually are?

[tiggerblue10]

How many hours do you work at Mcds? If part time, you could online admin training in your spare time.

[naomi24]

You say you’ve failed in the sort of jobs you want. What happened?

[abbeyleigh]

Like got rid of me after 3 days saying I wasn't grasping on to excel and they were behind but said you don't need experience but one just didn't know I had no experience.

Failure is a learning experience. You’ve seen and done things that have taught you what to avoid. Go forward, believe in yourself. You can be much more than you are allowing yourself.

[naomi24]

They probably meant experience in that particular type of work. Would you consider doing a computer course to get a qualification so you have something solid under your belt?

[pastafreak]

Being let go just days after starting can't be good for your confidence. If you were to do a course or get qualifications, that would go far in boosting your confidence.

[naomi24]

I just checked. There are free courses to be had, including from employment agencies and educational institutions. Google ‘free computer courses’, abbey, and have a look. Let’s get your confidence buzzing!

abbey'''; Could you perhaps explain dyspraxia? How does it affect you?
