Encouragement
Hang in there. I know it's difficult when you are starting out. I remember I was scared to death when I started as a MT. Say a little prayer, smile and remember this is all a learning process and don't give up. Big hugs.

Hi there,
Email me if you like and I can get you in touch with a friend of mine who runs an internship. It is unpaid but it is excellent training and really helped me get my foot in the door as everyone is asking for experience. If they see that you stuck out a 5 to 6 month unpaid internship, then they know you are serious about your work. Let me know if you want some further info!
God bless!

Thanks for the encouragement... :-)
Should I just do as much as I can and leave the blanks? Or email the owner and let her know I'm having a difficult time...?
All the encouragement in the world
and all the positive thinking anyone can muster will not make up for a poor education or lack of skills. When people try to explain to folks who've made a poor choice of schools that they will have difficulty with finding and keeping a job, they're not being mean. They're trying to point out that long-term success and job security will require further investment in time and money for proper training. The truth is just the truth, it's not mean. Just because you don't hear what you want to hear ("don't worry, everything will be all right, just try really hard and be really positive and you can turn limited skills and a poor education into a high income working only one hour a day while your baby plays in your lap") doesn't mean that anyone is being unkind. The cruelty is in the unrealistic Pollyanna "advice", not in the truth.
Need words of encouragement
How did you guys feel when you got your first job? I feel like I am doing horrible. I am getting feedback from QA and I have all these little mistakes that I'm not catching. I know that criticism helps you to fine tune yourself but I feel like I am doing bad. It is only my second day but I'm just afraid I'm going to be let go. I might be overreacting but I wanted to see if any of you guys felt the same way. I just need some words of encouragement. Thanks!
