I have an interview with Dunkin and was wondering what they like to ask/ how they want you to respond and how to look. I’m 26 and have worked several retail jobs. I currently work as a cashier at Harris Teeter, and if this job is to be part-time, that job would continue. So I definitely can talk about my experience with customers and how much I absolutely am passionate about helping people. That said, even though this is far from my first interview, I’m nervous because it seems like nowadays, companies are looking for very specific things in terms of image, and how people respond to interview questions.

I love coffee, but I’ve never worked as a barista. I’ve applied several times to multiple chains, but never got past the interview stage and don’t really know why. I actually got an interview with Dunkin months ago when I lived in a different town and worked as a substitute teacher. I told them this at the interview, but I told them that I was willing to work around that schedule. I still didn’t get the job even though they seemed to like me at the interview. Should I not talk about another part-time job?

So, guys, this is it!! I’m finally doing it :) I’m going to try and get everyone’s favorite Chiroptera this year 🦇🦇🦇🦇

But…I have a problem. So I was gonna name him Ozzy Ozbat (yes ik it’s basic but I’m a guitarist so rock, roll, and let me live 🤣) Anywayyyyy I remembered that I HAVE a plush ty bat named after the guitar legend that I got when he passed away and I wanted but couldn’t get the BAB one.

So…do I rename my current one or do I give the BAB a new name? If so, does anyone have name suggestions?

For context, I am AuDHD with Anxiety and RSD.

I have worked several jobs— granted, mostly menial ones and not a “dream job” or anything— and the same thing happens every time I’m scheduled to work. Starting usually late afternoon the day before, I get a pit in my stomach and feel tense. This is especially bad if I have to wake up early or sometimes if the hours of the shift are outside my availability or other household members are off & I feel like I will be missing something.

Even with my current job, which I have really taken a more positive attitude towards, I still get this feeling. I guess I would describe it in two ways:

1.) it feels like dread, as if I am counting down my hours of “freedom” before I am locked in one building for several hours 2.) I am anxious because I am forced to leave my safe space and be “on.”

Does anyone else have this? I am trying to WFH because of it but in the meantime are there any strategies so I can actually ENJOY my time off the clock?

ALSO: it tends to lead to poor time management due to a desire/determination to “make the most of my time” before working by doing as much as possible that I need/ want to do, which…usually takes longer than expected 😬 (see: ADHD)

Does anyone have advice on this?
