Yes I'm concerned about this question also.What have I been doing while out of work . Can i ask you what reason you actually said to them if not that you've been dealing with SA ?

I think you're right in the assumption that a daily exposure on such a job will make it quite faster with the progress. oh and good luck , fingers crossed !

I told them a kind of truth...that I was learning web development and working on a web site and then doing a college course. I did do those things, but it wasnt full time....in fact most of the time I was sitting in my room feeling sorry for myself :P

What have I been doing while out of work or however the question is phrased is probably one of, if not the, biggest thing I'm concerned about.

There's a few places I'm going to look into and one I know I'm going to apply for. That one is a part time job working at night that I'd like to have. It's not exactly what I majored in, but at the moment (and all things considered), I'll be more than happy to take it until I'm able to do more.

Good work getting through. When will you know anything?

[BulletProofMonkeon]

Yeah I was really worried about that question too. I was tempted to tell them the truth and say I was dealing with SA, but I have a feeling that would have been a bad idea.

Working at night, that sounds good. No people around :)

I'll know next week what the outcome was. Fingers crossed!

[BluesyMagus]

well done, good for you that you managed to pull through the interview. Lets hope you get it!

Fingers crossed for your interview.

Telling an employer about SA can be a terrifying thing, but can also be extremely positive. Employers are interested in people who are going to stay around and are honest. Telling somebody about your SA signifies your in for the long-haul and also gives a far more intimate honesty than other people can give. Employers are also very keen to see hard working people and they know if someone is overcoming SA then they must be extremely hard working.

Dude i just smile watchin you. I wanted to say ive been sein a therapist now for a few weeks and i decided to do do ACT Therapy not CBT. Its not a fight, like fighting for peace doesnt work, to make peace we need to make peace you see. Anyway if you google actmindfully oR Acceptance therapy you will see. Its buddhist in nature and man you are so slow and that i think it will be a perfect match:0 Awoooo

Hey everyone, regarding bibliotherapy (i.e. book reading and self help on these sorts of issues), check out Dr. Aarron Beck's book (this is the dude who developed CBT decades ago). "Anxiety Disorders and Phobias… " Brilliant.

Very insightful and when you decided to do CBT with a therapist, you'll know the theoretical side, as well as some practical tools to use.

I can't think of anything worse to do for someone with sa than a job interview.. I dread the time I have one! And your job too, man that must be a nightmare! I can relate to you, I find it hard to answer the phone too.

do you take any medications for sad?????

[loctia1]

thanks for your fine video!

[sambachic]

I know how  you feel. This probably won't help but...You're very attractive and speak intelligently too so when you start to worry about people looking at you or what people are thinking about you, that's probably it.

Thank you for this video! I'm unemployed for more than a year and I was never sure about what to say to employer asking "why" so long without working... i got some ideas from you..I hate lying, so i would say i had been ill or family issues... and of course i never thought about speaking i feel uncomfortable with people, i think they would think i was weird and incapable of performing the tasks required... That was helpful! Thanks!
