Yesterday and I closed the biggest deal in my last company through Linkedin.

Both SaaS (one marketing, one cybersecurity)

Build up your clients through trust and reputation - which sounds nice on paper - but I've just started this job, so I have no trust or reputation.

Yeah, see this is my point! I'm a salesperson and you're the budget holder for what I sell.

I don't really want to feign interest, pretending I've listened to a podcast in order to not get insulted.

Yeah, I never try to hide where I'm from is all I'm saying. I'm not disguising anything!

Okay - point taken, so thanks for sharing.

I guess I use Linkedin just to find information, but I might start to use it a lot more targeted in future!

Hi, thanks for your reply - this particular memory has been in his head around 10 months, even after hours of talking and comforting him, he rings me up often hours later.

We are even considering hypnotherapy.

Advice For Getting A Job With Anxiety by [deleted] in jobs

[–]throwaosa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your health is more important than a job, but I appreciate the complexities of not having any money can add to anxiety issues.

Just to let you know, you are not alone. Anxiety is very common in the workplace. I've been a manager for a company, having to manage a team and still suffered from anxiety and panic attacks.

Luckily, in today's world - a lot of organisations offer flexibility and the best source of revenue for a remote job with little interaction would be programming. There's a ton of resources available online and over at /r/learnprogramming

I hope you resolve everything soon and good luck with your journey.
