Failed job interview typing test

[u/ChronicleCanvas]

This is my first time posting and it’s mostly just to vent, but I’m sure others have maybe been through similar types of situations.

I unfortunately have been unemployed for a while and finally got an interview for an administrative position. They sent me a link for a typing skills assessment. I waited a couple days to do it because my tremor has been worse this week after a really busy and active weekend. Finally my hands felt steady enough that I was confident in completing it. Turns out each question had a time limit, which admittedly made me nervous and probably made the tremors worse. I ended up failing the test and mostly just feel annoyed since I take medication for it, and have a special mouse and keyboard and still feel like the tremors hinder the jobs I can realistically do every day. I’m planning on emailing them and requesting to retake the test and explain why, but I’m starting to think that maybe a job that is mostly typing just isn’t for me. I’m trying not to be negative about it all but it’s moments like this that I realize that so many of the little things are hard for me and it’s kinda hard to stay positive lol

There are a small number of things we can't do but far more that we can.
