can't keep a job
21/f I have ADHD and have been off and on my meds. Well anyways I've had trouble keeping a job for as long as I remember. My first job i walked out on because I was really upset. Well I changed my attitude, and I learned to be better. And after that it was mostly because I was slow and employers would get upset with me, or It takes forever for me to learn something. Then they tell me it's not working out. I mean this has been going on for the last years and I just want to be able to keep a job. I am back on my medication, and I am going to work at a salon as a receptionist, and I am very scared. I start training tomorrow, and the manager said it's a lot of responsibility. I have to answer calls, book appointments, I am pretty much the mother of the salon, and I'd also have to fold towels, and I'll be knowing how much the hairstylists make. There will be another receptionist there who will be training me. And she said by Thursday I should be getting the hang of it. I am going to work on Tuesday, and then Thursdays from like 3-7, and half Saturdays from 8-1 pm. I usually take a notebook with me to write stuff down so i don't forget things, but I am still scared, what should I do?

Every new job is scary, doesn't matter what it is. Yes you may have a learning disability. but that does not mean you are unable to work. it is normal that it takes time to learn things. it's a process of learning. I would say just take a deep breath. Relax. because you have got this! There may be alot of responsibility. but it takes time to learn everything. look at teachers and doctors. they didn't just jump right in, they learned how to do their jobs the important information before they got good at their jobs. you will do great hon, just take a deep breath, and remember you got this.
