Open plan

Today I'm interviewing for a new job, and applying for another. Keen on both positions for different reasons, I am awake at 3am, filled with anxiety. After some reflection it's not entirely directed at the interview process. In both cases I suspect I will again be placed in an open-plan office and expected to concentrate and not become overwhelmed.

Without a formal diagnosis (a personal decision I may come to regret) how can I navigate not working open-plan if that's how their office works?? I've done it before and my body just remained in a state of shock and I developed IBD which only settles when I'm alone for days at a time nd

  • With me it's just noise so i can wear earphones and listen to music, I guess the other stuff is a bit more difficult.  When we were working in the office we had a hot desk system so the earlier you got in the more choice you had where to sit, I used to get in early and sit in a relatively quiet corner.
