I remember the group interview I was in last year. I'm fine with one or no more than four people, but a crowded room full of strangers and 4 managers, ouch. I came out sounding rude. Luckily, it was the Christmas season and they hired everyone in the room.

Thanks to retail, I can walk up to people and start a conversation, but I still have trouble with co-workers. Just wasn't born with the "chit-chat" gene. And they think I don't like them when I'm quiet. It's not that I don't have anything to say to Them, I just have Nothing to say.
