Search Results: getting enough work out

Dear crush,

I have officially been your minion for 1 year! I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you being my trainer, mentor and friend. I've really enjoyed working with you and getting to know you better. You inspire me in so many aspects: your dedication, hard work, positive attitude and resilience, just to name a few. You always motive me to do better and to keep learning. I honestly can't thank you enough for putting so much effort into me.

You're a great coworker, and I know I'm not always the greatest person to work with. I'm sorry for rolling my eyes, giving you attitude, making it seem like I don't care about my job, being too slow, being too sensitive, and letting my pride and ego get the better of. Taking this job has definitely taught me about growth and I am so thankful, not only for the experience, but to also have a teacher who is patient enough to tolerate me and my flaws.

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you as my teacher and friend. You are relentlessly helpful, an amazing listener, and an awesome teacher. I know I still have a long way to go before I get anywhere near your level, but I know I can do it because I got you for a trainer. I know you believe in me, so I need to start believing in me too.

Thank you for everything!

So as you can see, I have quite the post history on Reddit for the time I’ve been a member. I mostly post about work advice, anxiety and under dating advice. I’m 26 and think I’m just stupid. Let me explain: I’ve never worked in leadership, I previously worked in academic advising and in my 2nd week as a career services coordinator at another school, I’m very oblivious and get distracted easily. I just don’t understand why I can never excel at a role, I am having a pity party but I really feel like I try my best. When it came to meetings, providing input/suggestions, noticing discrepancies in the depts etc, I am CLUELESS. Nothing ever comes to mind, it’s when someone else brings it up, that’s when the light bulb goes on. It’s just never enough, I worked in academic advising and dealt with tons of students, my boss would go weeks without talking to me and then boom there were corrections that presented itself back to back. I’m new to career services in this new job and we are in week two, doing go to trainings about their resume/getting an idea of what they wanna do before graduating. I’m missing things in the resume, this is brand new to me but my other counterpart is also new & putting in her suggestions to the students/excelling in communication. I am glad for her if she is good at what she does but I really don’t want to come across as inadequate to management/the students. She has years of experience in higher ed, I don’t think specifically career services. I just have a hard time expressing myself and I feel there’s always some kind of correction that’s brought to my attention from someone with any job I’ve had. I’m at the point where I just want to walk out and quit this new job. It’s always a repeat of issues I’ve had at previous jobs. Why bother if my effort isn’t ever enough? Input please, am I as dumb as I presume? You can also check post history and I’ll answer any questions.
