I have been driving a truck for a living since graduating college in December of 2006. All the companies I interviewed with always ask why I want to give up truck driving when I make more driving. How do I sell myself to a company that has a position that makes less money? The whole point of going to college was to use the degree eventually correct?
I feel like I have a pretty unique personality, but when it comes to job applications I could not come off more bland. How can I show off my true self in my writing while still being formal? Too much focus on formality is preventing me from being seen as human and getting these jobs.

Hello everyone, I have 2 college degrees business admin and healthcare admin. I get a lot of job requesting for me to work for them. I have positive attitude, patience, computer knowledge such as in office programs and some sale techniques in marketing. The problem I dont have confidence, I need to learn basic business communication skills in retail or medical field. Some of the basic skills I like to learn which some I already know are how to greet, sell, be enthuastic, and problem solve with difficult customers. I wasnt taught none of this in high school or colleg until we got a job. Whats a good site, youtube video school, or training recommendation you can provide me to acquire these skills. I know it takes practice and experience but I like to learn these skills as soon as possible because time is everrything in life.

Most career tests have a list of questions similar to "how much do you like this on a scale of 1-5" but I would really like to take a test similar to the SAT that would test my talents in various fields like math, scientific reasoning, or even stuff like organizational skills, attention to detail, etc.; and have these put into percentiles that reference my aptitude for certain jobs. Anybody know of any test like this that exists?
