I have started two new jobs in the past two weeks and quit. I lasted three days at both . I left my old position making a very comfortable living but I wasn't enjoying the work. Now when I try new jobs I dont have the confidence to do them. I know deep down inside I can but negative thoughts drive me to quit. I was so proud of myself when I left my original job but now I feel like a failure for quiting these two jobs . Any positive advice on how to handle this ?

Hi Jmjm,

I'm not any further along than you are in the program, but I think I can help you think about this in a positive way.

Maybe if you think about how terrific it is that you haven't given up. You left a job that you were probably comfortable in, but not fulfilled. You went out and located not one but TWO positions you were hired for!

That in itself is quite an accomplishment for people like us!!

Give yourself a break and look at the anxious moments you overcame just to go through the interview process. You are doubting yourself, but why not look at the judgement those employers used to hire you? Step outside your mind and look at their minds and what they saw in YOU to hire you.

Hope this post will help you, and I hope that you receive more posts that will help you move past this moment.
