Which job sectors do people work in ?

Yup, definitely Autistic!

Hi, 

Just out of curiosity, which job sectors do people currently work in, or have worked in, in the past? 

I work in adult social care, specifically learning disabilities /ASC, after exploring numerous other sectors that turned out to be ill suited to my motivation, social and preferred working styles (theatre / film /tv, admin. temping,  call centres (yuck !), harvest work).

    I have worked in a few due to not really being suited to the role/sector as you mentioned in your post

    • Lab technician
    • Physiologist specialising in Cardiology (gutted this one didn't work out, but bullying was awful!)
    • Courier
    • Call centre work (I agree on the yuck for this one!)
    • Fitness instructor
    • Self-employed doing bits and bobs

    I now work in Marketing specilaising in technical products and manufacturing.  Every job I have done and sector I have worked in has had challenges usually from the people or environment - the job itself is normally not an issue except for call centre work!

    Yes, I agree. The people and environment have been the consistent challenges for me too.
