But really though, you should go and pass it. And its only a clothing store, I don't really see them demanding much on your resume, just tell them you're in school and whatnot. | ||

No one gets ahead in this world by being a passive, undecided person. If you're not sure of something you need to still make a decision, if it's the wrong one, then you learn from it. It's a simple as that. You can not go through life without making tough decisions or thinking about your future, eventually everything will catch up to you. So it's better to be a man from the mother fuckin get go! | ||

*20 years later* You're driving in a BMW heading to your corporate executive job, you look back at that silly time in your past where you were too scared to drive or apply for a job and you laugh, shake your head and head into your building where your office awaits. P.S. You have a hot secretary. | ||

What I'm saying is you need to practice your driving. You need to do what you believe is best for yourself. You aren't an adult yet, and you won't be for quite some time. Just relax, think of what you want to accomplish and then think of ways to get to it. You are the one person who decides -everything- you are capable of doing. Decide what your limits are. | ||

I am filling out a job application for a clothing store and it is asking for my Objective and a Resume. I have no clue what to put and I really don't have any help with my brother or my parents. I am also constantly scared to go take my permit test, even though I am almost 17 and I know I could pass it. I am honestly scared to drive. Can anyone offer my some advice? If you're this scared about applying to jobs and driving then I'd hate to see you when you decide on higher education, get a job, purchase a car, sign your first lease, approach a stranger you have romantic interest in, deciding on something that will make you change locations, etc. It's scary for sure, but it's also very exciting. Glass is half empty or half full I guess... | ||

As my great grandfather used to say: "people who don't make mistakes don't do anything." learning to cope with the mistakesyou will inevitably make is the most critical part of growing up, and coincidentally Starcraft is the same way- you can't learn if you don't just go try and learn. If you fail your drivers test 10 times, you've just gotten more practice. "more gg, more skill" | ||

That being said, what WILL make a difference is how you conduct yourself when you turn in the application. If you haven't already, make sure you meet at least one manager, preferably the one who'll be looking at the application. Talk with him/her, do what you can to give them a good impression of you. Those are the kinds of things that will matter in the long run. | ||

If it is about fear of failure, then just keep in mind is failure is the mother of all invention. Or in your case, the best way to learn and adapt for a similar situation/scenario like a job application. You can pretty much step back and check "What did I do wrong?" etc. And from there you can be more prepared for the next one (if ever you need to go to another one) If it is a fear about driving, well, if you really don't want to drive, I don't see a point in you forcing yourself. But if you want to drive but are just afraid of the myriad of possible bad scenarios that could happen, then pretty much all you need is more experience/training. That should prepare you for your initial weeks/months of driving. And you will slowly gain experience and your fear will grow smaller as you are more confident in your skills. Remember, in order to gain something, you must first learn to risk something in exchange. What you are risking is not even what I consider dangerous for you. It is merely a learning curve you must step into or start. Good luck in life but also keep in mind that sometimes opportunities come few and far in between so sometimes, you just have to take a chance (this with regards to your job interview). It might just a stepping stone, but it's a start for your future. =) | ||
