Can a shy introverted person with social anxiety succeed in the HR field? Tips on interviews?
Hello! My question is can a shy introverted person with social anxiety succeed in the HR field?I am currently a student and I’m majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Human Resource Management. I have around a year and a half left of school and I am unfortunately in a remote setting due to not being able to afford on campus housing or commuting. I originally wanted to be a vet tech but realized they didn’t get paid much and I wanted a career with growth and opportunities. I then realized that I gravitated towards things such as counseling and social work and I would love the opportunity to help others in some way. I know I needed a masters to pursue those things so I gravitated towards Human Resources. You get the opportunity to help someone in some form of way while also helping the business succeed. I was also drawn to the administration duties due to my introverted personality. I am now on the hunt for Internship positions. I’ve had my first in person interview in 2 years and anxiety overwhelmed me and the idea to sell myself. I felt like I wouldn’t be able to succeed in a career in Human Resources. All of my confidence total disappeared as the internship required I do a lot of interviews and recruitment over the phone and I have absolutely no experience and I’m shy. Furthermore, I’ve had countless interviews with companies in a virtual setting. I would make it to the final round (3 interviews) and would still be rejected. I am super grateful I am even getting the chance to have interviews for this Field but I’m quickly losing more and more confidence due to the rejections. As a sales associate, I feel fine talking to customers in my work environment, but other then that I mainly stick to myself and get intimidated by large crowds. I also have increase anxiety talking to the HR department because I would love the chance for experience and am now doubting my self worth. Any tips for overcoming social anxiety? Any tips for succeeding with interviews and bettering myself? Are there any courses to practice interviews or soft skills? Any certifications that can help? I am also interested in data analytics and would love to learn. Also, if I can’t secure an internship, I wanted to get some sort of experience. Any ideas? I was thinking an office setting and customer service to break out of my shell and comfort zone. Any ideas of low entry jobs like that? Should I change majors? Am I wasting my time? Let me know any thoughts and advice, I would appreciate it.
Should I pursue a career in HR despite being shy and having weak "people" skills?
I'm considering getting my bachelor's degree in human resources. HR appeals to me because I feel that it would be a more "social" job than accounting, and that my career would have a more fulfilling purpose. However, I tend to be somewhat shy and can be overwhelmed by too much social interaction. Also, I feel that my empathy and communication skills are strong enough to be a good HR manager. Are these signs that I should not pursue a career in HR?
I have an upcoming interview for an HR internship. How should I best prepare and what should I make sure to mention/not mention?
