Will I ever get a job?

OP, just do a job search online, how do you know you will be rejected for bar work?

OP I think you can do some courses for free e.g Sage which might be helpful if your looking to do Administration work, I think you have to be claiming to qualify so check with your local job centre.

I know they would. I don't have experience in bar work and plus I don't have the confidence. It's really hard to get a job here.

I have difficulty having a positive mind. Anyway jobs these days need experience and I don't have any bar experience.

I'm sorry to be blunt, but you need to stop wallowing in self pity, as no one is going to employ you with an attitude like that.

Shyness and confidence are separate things. You can be shy AND confident.

Go out to the high street, and find a job advert that's posted in a window somewhere, go in the shop/bar or wherever it is, ask to speak to someone about the job, and see how it goes.

I'm a shy person and I've got an interview in a couple of weeks time and have to give a presentation to a panel of 4!! I'm terrified, but I have nothing to lose by giving it a go!

You'll get a job but maybe look at other options as a fall back. I have been looking for an admin job for 3 and a half years after leaving Uni, I've done some voluntary work in admin and am doing an admin course but still not getting anywhere. I've been doing work in a call centre and data input as most admin jobs involve parts of both. I'm going back to the call centre again in a few weeks and still applying. Looking elsewhere wouldn't hurt. Admin jobs can involve a lot of interaction so I think you really need to work on becoming a bit more confident. I've now decided I don't want a job in admin for the long term but still apply for them when they come along and other jobs.

You do know it's hard to get a job here. I have tried at least 10 times and I got nowhere.
