Difficult Times (Aspergers) - Please Delete Topic

Chair

Hi,

I've been trying to get a job for 7 years now and I feel like giving up hope.  I can't even get a shelf stacking or trolley collection job at asda or tesco as there are 0 vacancies. 

I have some qualifications in computing: GNVQ intermediate and CLAIT and touchtyping skills, however applying for data entry jobs just turns a blind eye.

I just feel completely and utterly useless and what a waste of a life it's been thus far.  It's driving me insane.

I'm 24, currently receiving incapacity and disability, no contacts, friends but at least I can drive.

Perhaps I should start voluntary work and from there they might employ me if I do well?

Regards,

Chair

  • Hi,

    @ TEA

    I absolutely agree.  Selling yourself, showing your interested and it just builds up on the CV.

    I'M GOING TO GO FOR IT!!!!!!

    @ JIM V - MOD

    Thanks for these links.  I have already registered online and applied for a computing position, but I think I will do what you have suggested and find the nearest Volunteer Centre as well.  CV's sorted and up to date.

    Yes I do live in the kent area of england.

    @ Hope

    Yes it is frustrating. I get anxiety sometimes and then get confused about what I'm supposed to do.  It is uplifting though when you can tell people you actually do something to avoid being singled out.
