I've had close to 30 jobs over the past 4 years and I am only 21. It is the most embarrassing thing ever. The longest job I've ever held was close to one year and that was my FIRST job!
I blame it on my depression and extreme social anxiety that made it unbearable for me to stay working. There have been jobs that I've only lasted a day, ONE DAY!. I left those jobs after one day if my I was too emotionally unstable, anxious, and panicky. There have been jobs where I lasted 1 week then other jobs that I lasted 3 months and one that lasted 5 months. My last job I stayed with for about a month and a half. The work itself was fine but it was working with those people that was so horrible.
When I go out around town and I see people in the stores or shops that have been working there for years I envy them and begin to feel like the biggest loser in the world. On the other hand I might feel like a loser had I been working in the same place for the last 4 years at this age. I've had all type of jobs, I've done it all lol, nothing illegal or immoral though. Actually now that I think of it I'm surprised that I've been hired by close to 30 employers over a relatively short period. Maybe it was a streak of luck, or I just expertized the "art" of the interview lol
I think the reason I lasted so long in my first job was because at the time my SA and depression wasn't as bad as it is now, even though I still do remember being depressed. I feel like such an old man for having tried so many things. Thank god I'm finally going back to school next month, maybe I'll get a little part time on the side. Anybody else have a similar experience with employment?
