Too Shy To Apply For A Role
I have seen a job I would love to do, but due to my shyness and not being very worldly-wise (I get by, but I have lived a rather sheltered existence and have been a clean living person), I feel I will be a poor fit when it comes to the culture of where the role will be. It's a male dominated environment and I'm not sure I'll 'survive' in it. I worry I'll be taunted for my not 'being around the block', if you get me.
However, I like the sound of the role itself. What should I do? 🤷♀️

It's not odd unless you want it to be odd. Typing pools no longer exist and I've not seen a job for a 'typist' advertised for ages. An office worker with the ability to type is not a typist. A typist was skilled at touch typing using a typewriter, taking carbon copies, changing ribbons etc. Those skills are no longer needed in an office environment, though I learnt touch typing at school and still do it if I'm on my laptop. I guess that's what I meant
