Should I get a job in customer service/retail to improve my social skills?

Customer service or food industry, not retail. Nobody seems to like working retail

Working in retail or customer service will make you hate people but it is a good thing to have on the CV, if employers can see you can deal with the public than you can deal with anything.

I already found a job though, but it doesn't involve interacting with people. On the one hand it's fitting for an introvert like me so I'm not complaining, on the other a job seems like an almost perfect way to put yourself out le there among people and train your social suaveness. Is there another effective way? Maybe clubs? Is toastmasters good?

Best Buy looks interesting in that the retail aspects look easy as fuck and the majority of the job seems to be menial customer service

I shot down meetup as being uncool but in certain locales they do way cooler and more beneficial things than any of my friends do. Idk what toastmasters is.

btw the job is in my field (translation) and I just graduated uni (I'm 23) so I'm not sure if customer service would look good on CV

My social skills are average. I work as an IT technician and we've got a lot of clients, so I meet new ones almost daily. Have no problems talking to them, but that's because I know what I'm talking about and am pretty self confident. My social skills remained average.

Does that answer your question?

Yes. It helped me a fuckton.
>>
Working as a cashier really helped me come out of my shell so I would say yes.
