Also, be sure to purge yourself of the last remnants or your male ego and leave them at the door.
So many times women make better employees and are preferred by many employers because they can use their "feminine" qualities to their advantage. i.e. hard worker, cooperating with other people, being able to say "i'm sorry" to a customer easily and not let your former male ego get in the way.  or empathizing with what the customer must be feeling while you are interacting with them. just to name a few. there are many more.  since you are transitioning, maybe not medically yet, but you feel you are becoming more woman all the time. right?  then lean on your feminine confidence and outlook.

It's a good thing I did away with my so-called "male ego" as a matter of fact I never felt so much better about myself when I do and yes I'm possibly being more womanly with each passing day.  Accepting myself as a trans woman I will say was one the best things I could've done for myself.  Seriously thanks for that reply it's made me feel a bit more confident and I want to once again thank everyone for the advice so far.

I think I found the right job for me: A bank teller.  I do know how to count and handle money well and I despite being an introvert for the most part I do find myself able to deal with customers in the most polite way possible (even been told I'm perhaps too polite).  The best part is I researched the banks that are currently hiring and fortunately they're good about helping and training so if I find myself questioning my skills it seems they'll help me be able to do my job :)
Also banks tellers make around $11 an hour where I live *shocker* 

Though as much as I want to apply right now I first gotta get out of my current living situation which I plan to hopefully within the next four to five months by moving in with a great friend of mine who is generous enough to let me live rent free (all he asks is that I help pay for basic utilities).  Then hopefully I can get on hrt.

Until then I'll continue being the girl that I truly am thankfully I got this cute black dress that a friend of mine got me for Christmas :)
