Over 50 and sick of being a receptionist. Has anyone ever lost their confidence and feel as though they are not good at anything? And how do you handle not loosing your cool when you have to deal with people any more?

I think best way to get confidence is learn something new.

I responded below to your response to another person about trying to figure out what you’re good at.

Think back on times in your life that you did things that you enjoyed and what they entailed. It can be work or non work related. Write these down. See what skills you have and enjoy using or that you would like to learn. Write these down. Run this list through chat gpt and ask what jobs you could get or career you could work toward using the list of things you wrote down.

That’s great! I’m glad you’ve found value in it. Stay positive!

If you don't like dealing with people, you shouldn't be in a public facing role. Every job requires customer service and speaking/working with others to some degree.

I agree. I’m trying to figure out what I am actually good at. That’s all.

I am trying to write a stock letter to send to parents everyday that their child does not come to virtual learning sessions. I have been told by administration that even though I have spoken to parents and know why students are not coming to zoom classes, that we still need to contact them everytime they dont come. For some of my students this is everyday due to parent work schedules and disability issues.
Is anyone else having this trouble? What are you saying to parents to cover yourself?
