I have issues with my self-confidence from time to time. Right now, I'm unemployed and thinking back to the last time I was unemployed.

At that time, I did not really have the confidence to go out and interview for jobs. This friend of mine came up with this construction project, and needed some help with it. I was doing some contract work, so I had some free time.

The more I helped him with his project, the more I learned. The more I learned and did, the greater my confidence grew.

Eventually, an opportunity came up, and I totally nailed the interview and got the job.

Helping someone build a shed in their back yard, and learning more about how to build sheds had absolutely NOTHING to do with what I did for a living at that time. But it showed me that I can learn new things, and that I can do something beyond what I have done before.

This helped me gain some much-needed self-confidence.
