Help Desk Specialist Jobs
Don't ever let on about anxiety or anguish
Help Desk Specialist - (City withheld for privacy), Pennsylvania, United States
If you suffer from social anxiety, don't make a big deal about it. It cost me my job because I was in such fear of being fired, I got fired. I made stupid mistakes. Don't ever let someone get to you, it will ruin you. Happened to me twice now.
