My husband is brilliant, but extremely shy. He is looking for a new job and needs to be able to express himself appropriately and professionally in an interview with prospective employers. Does anyone know where I can find resources to help him learn how to overcome his insecurity in this matter? He has been a restaurant manager with the same company for 22 years, but wants to change his career path to one that is less stressful. He has a wide variety of skills and could probably work in any number of fields. He is well educated and very creative. But, he just doesn't know how to talk to people with whom he isn't familiar without getting extremely nervous and stumbling with his words. He's a really great guy, age 42. So, how can he quickly learn how to get through the interview process? And, what can I do to encourage him? Thanks.How can I help my husband improve his business communication skills?
The problem is usually rooted in a confidence problem. And if it's been in place this long, it may be difficult to break ';quickly';. Though I'd say look for a position in an industry in which he is familar and knowledgable. Doing so, he should be able to hold a conversation about a such a job. Basically it's a mental block he'll have to work thru on his own. You can merely be supportive.How can I help my husband improve his business communication skills?

I commend you on being such a caring wife...it's very nice to see how eloquently you worded this.
Shyness is something that can be overcome with the right direction. He just needs more confidence, and there are many excellent books out there on building confidence.
I can understand his wanting to change careers, I was a bar and restaurant waitress/manager for many years as well. It really takes it's toll on a body and is one of those jobs where your future is not considered. The first day you can't show up for work is the day you stop getting paid. Scary at best to us boomers!
One thing I would like to recommend is considering a home business. I have one in health and wellness marketing only one product. It's something both of you could work on together. To get started is just under $200 USD, which makes you a Marketing Executive. There is no cap on your salary, and you are building residual income, so days when you cannot work, your business continues working for you. You are given a free website, all the training and marketing tools to help you every step of the way.
He might feel more comfortable with this because you don't have to go through an interview process, and you get started with people you know.
Because of the many benefits of this product, it is selling extremely well. You can market on the internet, telephone leads or face to face. I do all of the above to grow my business quickly. Incomes of $10k-$20k/mo are not unusal at all.
Something to consider.
I don't have an answer but this is a real problem for lots of people and is sad. Helps if he interviews w/shy people, who'll be more understanding %26amp; accepting, and there are plenty of successful shy people too. Too bad there are group therapy sessions to encourage shy people to open up kind of like AA. Maybe he could own his own restaurant - sometimes being in charge reduces stress. I've heard underlings are the most stressed out in a job situation because like they shay, sh*t rolls downhill.
Send him to a Dale Carnegie Course.
I'm sorry, but divorce is the only solution.
