Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm like that too actually.. If I feel I don't have the necessaru requirements, I don't apply. But I guess I should start trying!I saw a few comments from you that you don't have skills and were going to have to take whatever job you could find.
I know this doesn't directly apply to you but hopefully you can take something away from it. I read an article a few years back about how women were statistically far less likely to apply for jobs with prerequisites they didn't meet than men with the same qualifications. The women felt inadequate and didn't even apply but men's confidence in themselves paid off a lot more often than people expected. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take and whatever. After that, I took more chances on job applications and made the experiences I did have fit into the boxes employers were looking for. Since then, I've gotten quite a few jobs I was definitely not qualified for. I don't have a degree and when I first started out didn't even have really basic job experience. I haven't worked for less than $15/hr or even on site in years.
You have customer service experience. That qualifies you for a lot more jobs than you seem to think. Don't discount yourself.
Sorry to hear about how the job ended though. I had a similar experience in the food industry years back. It was awful but it also gives me motivation to work on never being in the position to have to work at a place like that again.
