never mind....

and about the shy thing... fuck it just get passed it... you are just gonna be talking to some manager dude whats there to be shy about.... i mean all you have to do is talk and answer a few questions to someone who at the time means nothing to you..
just go in there and try to act as 'unshy' as you can..... just put on a brave face and be like you know what... fuck them.... i can do this

oh man.... I'm on the same boat... when you go to school the only thing u think about it work, eat, sleep... its such a one track mind.. then it hits you like a forumla 1 car...

but then again if you're applying to a super market chain, they're not going to go "hmmm... we'll choose him/her coz he/she was captain of school" and stuff...

I have a great urgency to apply to office works :) have u heard it? well anyway, I reckon that job would be good coz like there's not alot of people and you get surrounded by stationery! There's definitely not alot of pressure there!

i think the most important thing is that you dont take knockbacks too seriously.
ive been for a couple of jobs, and been knocked back, it doesnt mean that its a personal attack on you, its just that you werent what they were looking for on that particular day.
more than likely you wont get the first job you go for, there will be many set backs along the way, just treat it as a learning curve, a good experience to learn from and realise that if one door is slammed in your face then that just means that a bigger door will eventually open

Be a letterbox distributor, you don't have to serve customers, and there was an ad in my local paper the other day for letterbox distributors, 40 cents per drop, which is actually pretty good, considering how much time and effort it takes to chuck a brochure into one letterbox. I would've taken it but the guy wants people to do it all over Sydney...so fuck that off

Why? Just do it by yourself, it would be pretty bludgy, just bring your discman or watever, and u get exercise as well. You gotta be able to get yourself all around sydney though
