Re: What was the 1st clue?

I’ve been on meds a little over a month and in this time I’ve gotten a temporary promotion. I feel like I’m excelling at learning the responsibilities of the position and wonder how well I’d be doing had I not been put on the medication prior to this promotion. I’m much calmer and am able to remember most of the tasks required, plus after an interruption get back on task for the most part.

Prior to the meds I let myself be the butt of most jokes at work. I was an easy target and it lightened things up. I got over being sensitive a long time ago when I was in the military and unless I’m not feeling well, I can take just about everything people dish out to me. I’ve noticed though that I’m not teased as much now. I think it probably has more to do with me being calmer, than the promotion at this point.

I just hope that when an actual position opens up that the meds will help me to do better on the interview than I have in the past 3 tries. The interview style is very not conductive to someone with ADD btw. I’m asked to describe a situation in which I’ve encountered certain circumstances, my action, and the result. Well these are many part questions and I get lost in my answers and forget what I’m even talking about causing me to get nervous and really mess up. This method of promoting others has caused me to not only not get selected but those with less experience and less time working for our agency get the job over me because they do better at this style of interview.
