Heres the deal. I lost my last job because of my lack of foucs and couldnt listen when people told me things. I was an auditor. I also would miss things right in from of me because I was so bored with the job. But my biggest problem is that I can't listen when people are training me. SO someone will tell me to do something and I still wont know what or how to do it. I was thinking of bringing a portable recorder with me and just recording what people tell me.

I pretty much have just add inattentative. But my lack of sleep also made it worse. Now I am trying to get more sleep and drink coffee for attentiveness in the morning. But everything else is fine but this inability to listen is screwing me up. So is this a good solution. And what causes most add'ers to loose their jobs?

I also lost my last job due to "lack of focus". Other jobs they would just say "oh I'm sorry it's just not working out". Even worse, it seems I always get canned soon after getting an award, good review, raise, something good then it's all gone.


I have no idea what it is I'm doing wrong. I need to find out.

Hey there... One way to deal with your problem is to learn how to take notes effectively... also ask questions, and summarize what you understand to the person talking to you... this way will help you remember better... if you understand the main stuff, the details will come to you.
