This has been bugging me the more I think about it. Some months ago, I was interviewed for an overnight janitor. Now to preface- I'm a quiet person. I don't talk a lot, and generally keep to myself especially when I'm at a place of business. They asked a series of questions, and I felt I had answered adequately
When the interview was over, they said that was the quickest interview they've ever had, almost in a kind of negative tone in hindsight, but I didn't think much of it. Safe to say though, I never got the job. This has happened more than a few times.
And it just makes me wonder- why do jobs that have nothing to do with customer service, hospitality, etc. Seem to look down upon those of us who are quiet and introverted? Does it make us look like bad workers? Does it make us look like we don't want the job/ we're nervous? I just don't get it. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
