I'd like to find a job that doesn't make me constantly overstimulated, overwhelmed and fatigued, but is also intellectually challenging. I absolutely love learning. Has anyone found a role that works for them?
I have had so many jobs in the past. I seem to stay in the job for a couple of years before moving on to something totally different.
Currently I am a police officer. I struggled for over 2 years in the job for loads of different reasons that all affected my asd. At the time I didn’t know I had asd (very recently diagnosed). I had a major burnout and was off work for sometime. Now currently trying to work out my own limitations and what I am capable of doing work wise with the help of my work.
Sometimes you just need to try different things, even though it might be outside your comfort zone the only way you will know is to try. It also helps if you have the support of colleagues and bosses
I'm the same, I do a job for a while, then lose interest and move on. I've had jobs in banks, libraries, printing, charities, travel helplines, accountants, schools, colleges, publishers, life coaching, probably others too. I've got an odd CV now.
I am the exact same. My CV is quite long. Started in a bank myself. I have done admin, security, HR, recruitment, vet work and then ended up in the police. Generally stay 2 years in a job and then feel the need to move.
I think it’s hard because people don’t really understand and see you as a job hopper but I just get to the stage I need to move on!
I think it's a sign of intelligence: you've learned all you're going to learn in a job, so move on instead of getting stuck vegetating in the same old job for years.
