Placement update

TheNightmare

I wanted to talk about my placement, which I think is going okay so far. I'm there until Friday, and while it’s not working in the store as I initially thought it would, it can still potentially lead to a job. Everyone seems alright, and they've been letting us go home earlier, which is nice. I'm not finding it too tiring, but I feel a bit nervous about the end of the week and the interview, wondering whether I will get a job or not. I’m trying not to rely too heavily on the outcome to avoid feeling down if things don’t go as hoped, focusing instead on being positive.

It seems that everyone is in a similar situation—looking for work but not quite there yet—so perhaps we all need a bit of support. There are people of different ages, mostly around 19, and a few who are quite a bit older, which reassures me that I’m not behind. I’ve noticed a few individuals who might have previous work experience, which gives me hope. I hope things are starting to fall together, and while it's not over yet, I'm aiming to get into work soon.

I'm grateful for this opportunity. Unlike my previous forklift training, where I felt drained by the end of the first day, I’m feeling good about this placement. We’ve done some teamwork, and I took part a little, giving inputs and ideas, even though it can be hard with everyone being relatively new. I'm a bit shy in social situations, and while people are talking and having a laugh together, I find it difficult to join in. However, I still have time to engage more, and it would be good to share a laugh. For now, I'm going to continue attending until Friday, try my best, and see what happens.
