Should I email her?

[jryden]

Long story short--I contacted this lady who owns a company asking if she had internships. She replied but didnt asnwer the question. Just left her # and said to call her. I didnt. She called me, left 2 mssgs and said to call her at a certain time. I didnt.

So that was like a month ago. I want to email her and say I didnt mean to ignore her and that I have anxiety issues (Phone anxiety issues) and was unable to call her b/c of that.

I asked this question in a thread and most of you said to NOT tell a possible future employer about those issues. Well I dont think I'll work for her anyway but i feel bad b/c she thinks I ignored her.

And you never know, she might have gone through the same thing and would completely understand.

Email her or leave it alone?

You might as well e-mail her and try. But she might think you weren't interested after not following through. Don't worry about that though, just give it a shot.

In the email (or however you ultimately convey the message), don’t say something like “I didn’t call because I have anxiety issues.” Even by themselves, the words “anxiety” and “issues” are regarded as red flags to many employers. In conjunction, they don’t exactly inspire confidence.

Instead, just tell her that you let your nerves get the best of you that day and that you apologize for any inconvenience you might’ve caused. Phrasing the message like that makes you look more like someone that was just a bit too nervous on that particular day, NOT a social recluse living on the edge of sanity (you know, people and their assumptions...).

Thank you! After making this thread, I decided to not email her b/c of that exact reason. I thought even if she understands from experience, there's no way she would give me a chance.

Thats def a better way or wording it. I'll do that.
