What would be the Job of your Nightmares?

Post Reply New Topic

I would hate to have a job that involved public speaking. I've had to do some recently and it's horrible. Standing up in front of a room full of NTs and trying to speak to all of them is terrifying.

it's not that bad once you get use to it. but if your on stage, i don't understand how people can get used to stage talking.

Anything involving lots of noise, impressions and hyper-active people, aka preschoolteaching.

I did telesales, or at least incoming complaints and I pretty much succeded bacaue I mentally reduced every caller to an aggregate of problems on which to employ (cerebral) problem solving skills.. I seem to have come over as a bit of a robot, but I got the job done lol

radio DJ

never allowed to shut up

I'll go along with what a few of you said, speaking out in public and working in an airport, with all the miserable people checking in. Probabley loads, i cant think of any

While looking for a job this past winter I found a job at a telemarketing firm, selling New York Times. It was very degrading, as I'd get yelled at by customers (my shifts were during dinner hours, UGH) and because I didn't make any sales (I had a loud obnoxious boss, they didn't understand my disability and the quirks of it, I'm always afraid of letting prospective employers know about it, I already get help from BVR/MRDD when it comes to job placement or follow up at the job, but I'm getting sidetracked) Anyway, I lasted there for a week and got canned/quit (If that's possible). Now I work at a Bagel shop. Quite a step down from being considered a shift leader at a videostore 4 years ago...

And the only one that would also do so in the LITERAL sense LOL
